After reading the comments of previous renters and viewing the photos online we had high expectations of this rental; we were not disappointed.
River Song hits on all of the major things you look for in a vacation rental; it's clean, comfortable, well-equipped and has a fantastic location, next to the Arkansas River. But it also scores on the little things you really do not consider when you book your rental. We were continually discovering little details the owners had considered for their guests. Of all of the dozens of vacation rentals we have stayed at over the years, this is probably one of the most well-stocked kitchens we have encountered.
I had a full agenda to keep our family busy for our entire four-day stay (not enough time) but, on the last day, everyone just wanted to hang out at the house and enjoy the property.
And the spaces were incredible. There was a living room and a deck for every member of our family with plenty of space to get together as a group but also space to spread out if you wanted some time to yourself. The beds were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. When you open the windows you can hear the gentle roar of the Arkansas River from every room.
I would confidently recommend River Song for your get-away to the Buena Vista area.
From the Owner: "Tim, Kim and fam~ we love knowing that our guests had a 5* stay at River Song! Thank you very much for taking the time to give your review. It means so much to us and helps us continue to provide the best experience possible for our guests. Please do come again, we would love to see you for another visit soon! Warmly, all of us at River Song."
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.
From the owner: "Marianne, thank you for such a wonderful review. We are so thrilled that you and your friends had a wonderful time at our RiverSong home! We hope you will return soon!"
House and location were great. House was clean and ready upon arrival. Excellent kitchen and dining setup. Decks and river access are top notch. Fun location with hiking, close to town and easy to get too.
From the owner: "Thank you for the great review, Clint! So thrilled you had a wonderful stay. Do come again."
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.
From the owner: "We are thrilled you were so pleased with your stay at RiverSong! Thank you for your wonderful review, and we are so glad it was great for all three generations. We will look forward to your return!"
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.
