Renovation Updates

The East Wing addition is now expected to open just after the second week of June. Inspections and last-minute details must be completed before occupancy can be permitted.

At the May 27, 2026 Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved moving forward with the proposed Vacant Lot Improvement Policy for community review. In accordance with the RVR’s Policy Adoption Process, the draft policy will be posted for a minimum 30-day community feedback period before returning to the Board for final consideration and vote.

Review the policy by clicking here. Email governance@rvrma.org with any comments.

Earlier this year, the RVRMA Board of Directors distributed a Community Survey to RVR property owners. We sincerely thank all community members who took the time to participate. 

Our regular summer schedule is now in effect for the remainder of the season:

Snack Bar: Open daily from 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

Lifeguards & Slide: Available Tuesdays–Sundays, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

Mondays: No lifeguards on duty and the slide will remain closed

As a reminder, the deer fencing removal deadline was extended through Friday, May 15, to give residents additional time to take down and store fencing for the summer season. Now that the extended deadline has passed, we kindly ask any residents with remaining fencing in place to remove and properly store it as soon as possible to help maintain the beauty of the RVR community.

A friendly reminder to RVR residents storing deer fencing for the off-season: please ensure all fencing materials are kept out of sight from the street and neighboring properties. Whether stored in a basement, attic, crawl space, garage, or offsite location, fencing should be placed where it has no visual impact on the RVR community.

We've received reports of after-hours activity on the golf course that has created significant noise disturbances and impacted neighboring homes.

As a reminder, the golf course is closed to pedestrian traffic, even when play has ended for the day. If you happen to see activity on the course after hours, please contact the local police non-emergency line. 

With the growing number of e-bikes, e-scooters, and One wheels in our neighborhood, we ask parents to help reinforce safe riding habits with their children.

Please strongly encourage riders to wear a helmet every time they ride, regardless of distance or experience. We also ask that all riders follow the rules of the road, obey stop signs, yield to pedestrians, and ride responsibly at all times. A few simple safety reminders can help prevent accidents and keep our community safe for everyone.

As we head into summer, the Town of Carbondale is encouraging residents to start practicing simple water conservation habits. The article linked below outlines easy ways to reduce water use at home, what potential conservation measures could look like later this season, and where to find additional resources and updates from the Town.

Important reminder: Per the water agreement, RVR Golf has priority irrigation rights and may water between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. RVR residents may water between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

We’ve received interest in starting both a Bridge group and a Mah Jongg group as part of the RVR Social Group! If you’re interested in helping organize or serving as the point of contact for either group, we’d love to hear from you.

Please contact Member Services Supervisor, Sarah Gager at sarah.gager@rvrma.org if you are interested!
