Spanish Ranch on the Arkansas River- enjoy the rushing river from the Hot tub!

'Casa Bella del Rio' as we have named this River house has been a renovated into a Spanish style hacienda with a living room, dining room, kitchen and 4 good size bedrooms with 3 full baths. All the floors have been updated with tile and hardwood. The furnishings are all new and are Spanish style as well. There are mountain views from every direction. The house sits on 2 acres, right on the river. There is river access for kayaking and fishing. We have recently built a lower deck with stairs up to the house. A really great spot to relax or just sit with your fishing gear.

The deck is a great place to enjoy the views, eat lunch or sit in the hot tub and just relax!

Beautiful home
Beautiful home. Had everything we needed. The only negatives I would are there were TONS of waps around the outside of the home and inside of the garage. It made the area hard to use. The were wasp nests everywhere too. Water also had a bad smell.

Amazing bachelor party accomodations!
We had a group of 7 adults and the house was perfect for us. There were plenty of rooms and beds. The outside space had access to the river and incredible views. Easy to find and access. Great hot tub. No complaints!!

Great house, great location! Well stocked with everything you would need to make a meal. Less than 20 minutes into town. On a nice flat quiet road with very little traffic. Everything the owner says in the listing and much more. We loved it!

This home was perfect for our trip, there was plenty of room for everyone! We were right along the Arkansas River and we found a great fishing and swimming hole not far from the house. The kitchen had all the cookware and dishes we needed. The deck was also nice to sit on in the mornings and drink our coffee! The only drawback to the house is there is no cooling and it was really hot while we were there. There were plenty of fans to help move the air, but it just wasn't enough to keep the house cool.

Another Great Vacation!
This was my family's third time at this house and it was great, as usual. Plenty of room and bathrooms for our family of 10. The views from the back porch are still spectacular and the kitchen was well equipped to handle all the cooking done during the week. A good base for exploring the area, from Salida to Monarch to St. Elmo.Try the pizza at Amica's and Moonlight. Our family is divided on which is best.

Wonderful well equipped large ranch on the Arkansas River.
Everything was just great. Large ranch with beds for 12 was very comfortable. We opened everything up in the evenings to cool the house and closed in the morning and it stayed cool in the day. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with many spices and dishes and pans etc. The grill was the best I ave ever had at any rental house. Janet was very responsive to all requests and very timely too. It was a great stay and the house was a key part of out trip.

Beautiful home on the river
We had such a great time staying here! The only downside is that the water, which is likely well water, is treated and was slimy. There’s no other way to describe it. Luckily, the rest of the house made up for this, above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back!

Great house!
We stayed here for the weekend to ski Monarch. The house was set up great for 2 families. We all had enough space to relax and hang out. The backyard deck, hot tub and horse shoe pit were a perfect way to relax after a day on the slopes. We would love to come again!
