A Bed on the Arkansas

Six beautiful bed and breakfast rooms overlooking Colorado's Upper Arkansas River. The 3 story yellow home located in the heart of Colorado Rockies is just 2 miles from historic Buena Vista in Johnson Village. Each room comes with a private bath, telephone, television and a VCR. Each room also has a coffee pot and condiments. You will also find a private refrigerator in each room with a continental breakfast.

B & B Amenities include a hot tub, access to a full kitchen and living room with a patio overlooking the Arkansas River below. The patio level kitchen and living room are great after your day of close-by hiking, fishing, whitewater river rafting, or golf. In fall & winter you can also hunt, ski (nordic & alpine), or spend a day riding along a groomed snowmobile trail.

Located in Johnson Village, a great location, the Upper Arkansas River runs by our patio which is considered by many the capitol of whitewater river rafting in the United States. The Continental Divide of the Rocky Mountains is the western slope of our valley, and there are more fourteen-thousand foot mountains in our county than in any county in the United States! In fact, the awesome "fourteener" Mount Princeton dominates our western view.
