Peaceful and Beautiful
Our group of 4 lifelong friends decided to meet up in Buena Vista for a few days. The house is in the most peaceful environment and full of spots to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds. Communication from the owner was fantastic. I would love to return in the future and highly recommend RiverSong house to anyone considering.

Fantastic home right on the river!
We had a lovely stay and it ranked as one of our favorite family vacations ever! One of the best VRBO vacation homes in which we've stayed. The river literally all you hear in this home and on any of the 4 decks. The home has 3 bedrooms, each on a different floor. Plent of space to gather together or find your own reading nook. The owners are very attentive and responsive. Plenty of outdoor activity in the area. Nice variety of restaurants in downtown.

Better than Expected
From the moment you open the door to the very last step down to the river this place sings to you. Nice touches everywhere and meticulously maintained. There are numerous places to sit and enjoy a quiet spot even if there are numerous people in the home. The breezes are everywhere keeping this place nice and cool and the river is heard everywhere for enjoyment.

Just Perfect
I stayed here over a weekend with my family to snowmobile Cottonwood Pass. This place was far beyond our expectations. The backyard is literally the Arkansas River; and the property has plenty of outdoor decking and landscape features to take it all in. The inside is very spacious, and has all the cookware you need to whip up some great meals. We didn't want to leave!

Fantastic! Truly 5-star!
Maybe the best overall property we have rented in our many years of travel. Very comfortable and well-appointed. There are so many cozy seating areas with different views and feels, both inside and out. I counted 32 different chairs/stools just OUTSIDE! :) The bed was comfy, linens top-notch, and the kitchen had many of the extras that make cooking in a unknown kitchen much easier. The river access is great and we did catch some fish. 5 minutes from downtown BV for easy shopping and dining. Loved the views of the mountains, the nearby rock formations, the Arkansas river, fall foliage and the night sky (we enjoyed the Orionids early one morning). Great communication prior to, during and after the stay. Easy property access. We fully recommend!

Even better in person!
As great as the photos look, this place is even better in person. Several choices of comfy gathering areas both indoors and out allowed both group chatting and quiet solitude no matter what the weather. The kitchen is well stocked, and arranged to make group meal prep easy. Our only wish is that it slept a few more people. If so we would hold our reunion here every year!

Beautiful view
Overall the house is great. Even though it will show on the map as being close to a street it feels surprisingly quiet and remote. It's located right above the river and has a massive deck with fantastic views of the river and mountains. The kitchen has everything you need, and the two rooms are very comfortable. The listing says 1 mile to shops and that is technically true but it's not a pedestrian mile, you definitely would be better off driving to town from this place.

Exceptional river-front getaway!
RiverSong was a perfect property and location for a late-spring weekend getaway. Situated right above the Arkansas River, there were so many areas to explore. We loved the multi-level deck overlooking the river and the pathway down to the water's edge. Sitting out on the deck enjoying the sunshine and listening to the water was very relaxing. Indoors, the house was very well appointed. We loved the different seating areas, plenty of spaces to find a quiet reading spot. The kitchen was one of the best we've experienced through Vrbo. We only used it in the mornings as we were out and about for lunches and dinners. But the high-end appliances and gourmet cookware would provide everything a home chef would need to fix some fabulous meals. Being right on the river, we could leave the bedroom window slightly open at night and fall asleep to the rush of water. The bed and linens were very comfortable, providing a great night's sleep. We've already started discussing plans to return to Riversong with our friends perhaps for a leaf-peeping weekend in the fall. Wonderful property!

My friend and I had a great stay at RiverSong. The house was just as nice as it looked online and had every comfort and amenity we could want. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, we had a cozy fire, and really loved the views of the river. I would definitely stay here again.
