There is a small portable stereo that will play cd's and tapes and also an Ipod docking station.
Setting, acreage, views: River Rose is located on a small ranch in the Paradise Valley. As you enter the property, the long driveway weaves between irrigated green horse pastures until you reach the River Rose home, situated right on the banks of the Yellowstone River. A large grassy lawn area out front is perfect for kids to play and to enjoy the fantastic views of the Absaroka Mountains. There is a property caretaker that looks after the owners' horses, as well as the River Rose home. The caretaker's residence is far enough away that your privacy is ensured, yet he can be easily reached if there is a need. Out in back of the home, the river flows by just feet from the back door. A large grove of cottonwood trees provides some nice shady areas for picnics on those sunny days.
Outdoor amenities: There is plenty of outdoor seating for barbecues, as well as a gas grill. Enjoy the views and the river frontage provided at River Rose! A natural boat launch allows you to start or end your float trip right at the house.
