Most awesome place to stay!

We have stayed at this place a couple of times now. We love it. It is very relaxing setting on the deck and listening to the river rush by. The rooms are great, very clean. Can't say enough about it. We would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional property! Lots of sitting areas for settling in with a book, TV, or great conversation. Kitchen is well stocked for those who choose to cook. The multiple decks overlooking the river are the perfect place to relax. Unfortunately for us, it rained and/or was too cold to enjoy the decks this trip. But we will be back!

The PERFECT House & Stay - EXCELLENT LOCATION

We really enjoyed our stay. The amount of outdoor seating with views of the river/mountains along with all of the interior amenities were fabulous. It was very convenient to head into downtown BV each day, or even walk into town for breakfast. Wonderful host with a very helpful guide on the area and things to do. I would highly recommend staying here!

The property is fantastic given its location right on the river. The lower deck was great to enjoy drinks and apps before dinner. It also allowed the wives to read in the loungers while the husbands were fly fishing right there in sight. So they got to experience the excitement of catching a few nice trout. The kitchen is extremely well stocked not only with utensils and appliances, but also with spices/oils. Easy drive into Buena Vista and close to multiple hikes to lakes/waterfalls. We all wished we were staying longer and hope to return someday.

Lovely house with beautiful decks

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the RiverSong property in Buena Vista! The accommodations were very comfortable and convenient to town. The decks were fantastic to relax on and just listen to the river below. The house was beautifully decorated yet homey too.

Quite literally the best vacation rental we've ever stayed at

Every single thing was thought about for this property. It has charm, warmth, slept a family of 4 plus a grand mother very comfortably, and was an absolute stunner of a location. 10 stars.

Great Stay

We had such a great stay at Riversong. The cabin in beautiful and has everything you might need during your stay. Being right by the river was amazing. This was our favorite rental by far. The house was clean and inviting. You feel like your secluded even though your just a short drive from town. There is so much to do nearby. We can't wait to stay again. We already want to start planning our next stay.

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.

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!

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.

Buena Vista trip

Three couples chose this wonderful house for a Memorial Day Weekend getaway and couldn't have been happier. The perfect spot for relaxing and spending time with friends. The location is amazing: right on the river to hear the rushing water, watch the kayakers and floaters go by, read/relax on the multiple deck spaces, watch the birds, deer, chipmunks go by. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked. No need to bring any of the basics (oil, salt, sugar, spices...) and all the kitchenware you would ever use. We stayed in for two of the nights and enjoyed our dinner on the deck watching the sunset.The house is beautifully decorated, but still cozy. The beds were comfortable and the house was spotless. We didn't want to leave and will hopefully return in the future.
