Riverside Home, Private Fishing, Barrel Sauna, Fire Pit

This renovated home with a sprawling acre of lawn on the Arkansas River is the perfect take out for the Milk Run or launch for Browns Canyon on a private boat ramp. Fish from lush grass, sweat in the sauna, lounge on the deck, play games on the lawn and gather around the fire pit. A well-equipped kitchen helps you craft gourmet meals. New beds and high-quality linens provide restful nights. Use as home base for whitewater rafting, kayaking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, fly fishing, mountain biking, or hiking.

In the winter, use as home base for alpine skiing (40 minutes from Monarch and Ski Cooper), cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, fat tire biking, and hiking.

This property exceeded expectations. The location backs directly onto the Arkansas River — hard to beat for scenery and easy access to wade fishing. Buena Vista itself is a quick drive, so you get the seclusion without sacrificing convenience.The kitchen is well-equipped, including a solid grill setup and a surprisingly complete stock of spices and condiments — a nice touch that saved us a grocery run. Beds were comfortable, which mattered after full days on the water.Overall, a great base for an outdoor-focused trip. We'd book again without hesitation.
