Awesome Place

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great location on the river. Everyone enjoyed that including the dogs! Home is very nice and sets up well for adults and kids. The only thing that we had any issue with was the garbage can outside was full and there was not much room for us to empty the trash from the house.

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.

Perfect weekend getaway

This house was the perfect place for my friends and I to stay for the weekend. We had 10 adults who all fit comfortably in this home. The house is extremely clean and looks just like the pictures. We had zero problems with this place the whole weekend and the owner is very responsive. Perfect location to Mt. Princeton hot springs, great access to the river and not far from the town of Buena Vista. Would absolutely love to come back in the summer!
