Comfy Home on the Arkansas River, Private Fishing, Barrel Sauna, and Fire Pit

This renovated home with a sprawling acre of lawn on the Ark 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.

Wonderful River Vista!

This is the perfect place for 3 couples or a family. The setting is spectacular and the house is perfect. Well equipped with everything you need, very modern on the inside - nicely done. If you like to fish, this is the place! Even if you don’t fish, this is the place!

The house was recently updated and had everything you need. Our dogs absolutely loved the backyard and had a great time frolicking in the river. We saw a buck cross the river right in front of us and there was an owl in the tree. Loved it!

Family Vacation

Perfect property, perfect location. Hosts were accommodating and helped us with one issue WE encountered with our travel arrangements. Excellently equipped kitchen. Trout fishing right out the back door and loved the 5 minute walk to a river rafting company. On a scale of 10, I give this property and our host an 11.
