River House

The River House, located a short walk from the lodge, rests inches from the Navajo River. Its location alone provides a unique and personal history of Southwestern Colorado. The property was originally purchased from the United States government in the late 1800’s for $.50 an acre by Charles William Price, better known as Will Price. Will spent many years hunting Grizzly Bear and Elk in this valley. The Chromo Valley, being a natural migratory path for massive elk herds, made for impressive sights. When Will was not exploring the beauty of nature, you could find him writing stories of his adventures in these mountains. Being a published writer, his hunting stories in this mountain range are legendary. Even the forest service road bares his name as it travels across our magic mountains. The River House, featured in many of his published stories, has been renovated into a soothing sanctuary. 4 bedrooms each with private baths, 3 fireplaces, a hot tub and fully functional kitchen have made it a family favorite.
