River Haven - Beautiful Home, Arkansas River Access, HotTub, Detached Guesthouse | House in Buena Vista
4 Bedroom House in Buena Vista
River Haven is located on the Arkansas River 5 miles south of Buena Vista and at the headwaters of 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.
The Main House has two floors; the first floor has a bedroom with a king bed, a guest bedroom with a queen bed, a renovated bathroom with a walk-in shower, a spacious family room with high vaulted ceiling, restored original hardwood floors, flatscreen with DirecTV, and large windows overlooking the river.
