Neighborhood
You're on the Arkansas River just south of Buena Vista, at the doorstep of Browns Canyon National Monument and some of the best whitewater in the country. River Runners is next door for rafting (and tacos on their beach). Downtown Buena Vista has great boutique shopping and restaurants. Our favorites: CRAVE for pizza, the Surf Hotel for cocktails and live music, Eddyline Brewery by the river, The Blend for a smoothie, Veya Coffee Bar for coffee, and the Lariat for live music. Mount Princeton Hot Springs is a must in any season. Salida has a great arts and food scene, and Monarch is our pick for uncrowded skiing. Drive times from the ranch: Browns Canyon put-in (Fisherman's Bridge) — under 5 min (1 mi) City Market Buena Vista — 5 min (5 mi) Downtown Buena Vista (Main Street) — 10 min (5 mi) Mount Princeton Hot Springs — 10 min (7 mi) Cottonwood Hot Springs — 15 min (11 mi) Salida (downtown) — 25 min (19 mi) Monarch Mountain ski area — 35 min (34 mi) Leadville — 45 min (40 mi) Copper Mountain — 1 hr 10 min (63 mi) Colorado Springs — 1 hr 50 min (94 mi) Denver (downtown) — 2 hr 15 min (123 mi) Denver International Airport (DIA) — 2 hr 30 min (154 mi)
Guest Access
The whole main house, the garage game area, the yard, the river frontage, the boat ramp, the hot tub, and both Traegers are yours. Check-in is fully self-serve with a keypad code we send the morning you arrive. The main entrance is the door to the right of the garage. The garage apartment is private unless you've added it to your stay. Our rafting gear in the garage is the one thing we ask you to leave alone. Parking is on the property only; trailers, campers, and rafts can park down by the river.
Find us
You'll want a car. There's no reliable rideshare in Buena Vista. We recommend flying in and out of Denver International Airport (DIA) and driving in: about 2 hr 30 min (154 mi). The route is paved the whole way. In winter, 4WD or AWD is recommended. Coming in at night, look for the large light next to the house and the big brown barrel at the driveway entrance. Download your directions before you leave town, because cell service fades near the house.
