About the host

Hosted by Greg Pugh

Host profile image
We love Colorado and love sharing all the spectacular beauty of the Big Thompson Canyon, Estes Park, and of course, Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park!

Why they chose this property

We bought this "diamond in the rough" and began the long process of gutting and remodeling it in 2015. And we couldn't be more thrilled of how it turned out. We love spending time in the mountains, along the river, watching wildlife, hiking, and of course, relaxing! River Haven is a gift that we want to share with others!
