Buena Vista House | River Haven - Beautiful Home, Arkansas River Access, HotTub, Detached Suite WiFi

4 Bedroom House in Buena Vista

River Haven is located 5 miles south of Buena Vista at the Brown’s Canyon National Monument and Fisherman's Bridge Recreation Area. River Haven is a short walk to River Runners, a locally owned rafting and adventure company known for serving the best fish tacos and margaritas on the river with a super fun beach for kids. River Runners is open during the summer.
River Haven boasts over 400 feet of river front and access to some of the country's most desirable fly-fishing. Other spring, summer, and fall activities include rafting, kayaking and paddle-boarding class 3-4 Brown's Canyon. You can put in upstream in Johnson Village to run the scenic class 1-2 Milk Run from Johnson Village to the house. Please note, River Haven does not provide rafting or fishing gear. Mount Princeton hot spring is an 10-minute drive and Cottonwood Hot Springs is a 20-minute drive, both open year round. Or you can soak in the hot tub on the deck overlooking the river. There is an aerial adventure course at Noah’s Ark rafting company, just down the road. Great for kids! River Haven is a popular destination for mountain biking, hiking, and 4-wheeling. Guests also enjoy the artsy towns of Salida and Buena Vista. Many people come to River Haven to just relax outside in a hammock and observe the magnificent bird activity. Winter activities include skiing at the local's favorite Monarch Mountain, which is a short 40-minute drive from the property. Copper Mountain is a scenic hour drive up the Arkansas Valley, through the historic town of Leadville with no I70 traffic. Vail, Beaver Creek and Crested Butte are all within a 2-hour drive, again with no I70 traffic. River Haven is ideal for that long overdue getaway for couples, friends, and families.
River Haven has two structures: the Main House and the Little House. All reservations include the entire property with both structures.
The Main House has two floors; the first floor has a bedroom with a king bed, a guest bedroom with a queen bed, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a spacious family room with high vaulted ceiling, restored original hardwood floors, flatscreen smart TV, and large windows overlooking the river. The upper level has a bedroom with a queen bed, private balcony, a bathroom with shower. The main house has heating and air conditioning.
The Little House is a detached guest house that is connected to the Main House by the deck. It has a master bedroom with a king bed overlooking the river, a bathroom with walk-in shower, a sitting area with a sofa, a flatscreen with internet TV (google chrome cast) and private deck area where the hot tub is situated. The Little House has heating, window fans, a mini-fridge, and coffee maker.
The outside deck has several sitting areas and a Weber gas grill. There is a chiminea down by the river. However, due to the extreme fire danger, there is no outdoor burning permitted at this time.
The hot tub is on the deck and it is operational year-round. Adjust the temperature by simply pushing the temp up or temp down button. If we have to drain and fill the hot tub on the day of your arrival, it will take time to reheat and will be ready by 8 pm.

Summary: River Haven was magical! The house and property are beautiful and cozy! The views of the river and mountains were so peaceful. It was incredibly refreshing to sit in the hot tub and watch the river and stars. The kitchen was small, but complete with all the cookware, dinnerware, and seasoning we needed. We had such a special family Christmas at River Haven.
