We had a fabulous family get together! The house was beautiful, clean and exactly as described! Kristan was fantastic and communication was A. We had a question upon arrival and she responded right away. Since it was winter, we took advantage of the hot tub and movie room and are already thinking about when we can come stay here in the summer and enjoy the river!

We loved our stay here for a girls weekend. We really enjoyed the hot tub, theater and all the space to hang out together. The weather was nice for October, so we were able to enjoy the outdoor space as well! Our only complaint was that despite turning off all outside lights by 10 pm as instructed by the host, we all received paper notes on our cars telling us to turn lights off. We can only assume it was a neighbor, which as a group of women traveling alone, made us feel pretty uncomfortable knowing someone was watching us and had the audacity to approach our parked vehicles. As a result, we did not feel comfortable using the outdoor amenities like the hot tub and fire pit on the second night of our stay. Our stay was otherwise pleasant and quiet.

Friend Getaway

The house was awesome! There are so many different areas inside and outside to hang out. We loved how the lower level has the overhead door that opens up to the big backyard. The house has upstairs and downstairs porches with great views all around with lots of privacy and seating. There are nice overhangs that allowed us to get out of the rain and still enjoy watching a storm roll through. The hot tub is perfectly placed in the middle of beautiful landscaping and a view of the river. Down by the river is a nice clearing with a rock boarder which allows for hanging out in the river without fighting the flow. We anchored our SUP to hang on and went fly fishing right in the backyard. River runners was across the street where we rafted down browns canyon. It’s truly an amazing setup and convenient. The sunset was right there!!The gas fire pit area was a delightful surprise. It was so easy to use and gave off more light and heat than any other gas fire pit Iv ever seen. We enjoyed the backyard to its fullest. Star gazing for hours with the sound of the river.The bedrooms and bathrooms were great. The kitchen has an open concept with lots of countertop space. The kitchen was fully stocked and labeled. Our only regret was we should have stayed a few more days. Kristan did an amazing job accommodating our group and was attentive to all of our needs. She was timely with communication and responsive to my questions. We had a blast!

Wonderful Stay on The River

Amazing home on the Arkansas river. Huge patio/porches, playground with sand for kids, fire pit, movie theatre, kids play room, etc. Had everything that our families wanted, so we cancelled our plans for the weekend and stayed on the property the entire time. Would recommend to anyone and especially if you have kids.

Stunning House on the River!

The photos don't do this amazing house justice! We were extremely satisfied with our stay! Kristen left our Mom who turned 98 Happy Birthday Flowers and more....the kids enjoyed their own room downstairs and we all enjoyed the river and the firepit on the river. Plenty of room to get around and cook together in the kitchen. Watched Sunday football in the movie room! Can't wait to go back in the summer! Great views with no one behind you! Great trails to run our dog - a Must Stay VRBO!

There is no better place to stay in the Buena Vista area! The online listing doesn’t do the home justice. From the great views to the awesome floor plan, we were blown away from the moment we walked inside. The host was very helpful and the check in process couldn’t have been simpler. We’re definitely planning our next stay at this property.

Gorgeous house and yard in a relaxing setting

This was once of the nicest houses my family has stayed at, mostly due to the thoughtful and luxury touches. The house is well stocked and has many items for children I normally bring (night light and kid stool). The kids loved their room with plenty of games included, as well as the deck swing, playground set, hammock and sticks for roasting smores. We brought our own telescope, but there was one at the house. The stargazing was great when it wasn’t cloudy. The house is updated, spacious, with pleasant river sounds in a gorgeous backyard. Communication from the host was excellent. Due to the location, we did experience loud music coming from River Runners across the street for two of the nights until 10pm. There were also fewer trail options - all required a drive and the highly rated waterfall trail was also used by horses, with lots of horse manure to dodge. Overall it was a relaxing and lovely house and we’d be happy to return.
