RVR Rentals
If you are renting out your home in RVR, it is essential that you provide a copy of your rental agreement to the Ranch House. This applies to long-term and short term rentals. Homeowners should also inform tenants of the HOA's rules surrounding parking, trash, noise and other issues that may arise.
If you do not have a full lease drawn up, please contact the office to learn what options there are to satisfy this requirement.

Green Tip
Please enjoy the following eco-friendly tidbit brought to you by Friends of the Environment:
Are you familiar with the Roaring Fork Gear Library in Carbondale? It is a nonprofit that provides free outdoor gear rentals for all seasons. Think bikes, kayaks, tents, golf clubs, snowboards, and skis. Annual membership is $1 for locals. Renting gear for a one-time use is fun and free. It allows you to try something different without investing in new equipment. Or when your friends and family come to visit, maybe you could use an extra bike or raft or backpack for a few days. Choosing recycled gear reduces waste and pollution, conserves landfill space, saves money, and uses less energy and resources. So check out the Gear Library.

Trunk or Treat
Saturday, Oct. 29 | 6 - 8 p.m.
Trunk or Treating is a fun alternative to regular trick-or-treating! Park your car at the Ranch House (or Barn overflow), and decorate your car for Halloween. Kids walk from vehicle to vehicle, collecting candy along the way. Some people get very elaborate with their trunk decor and even make mini haunted house scenes! Or, keep it simple, the kids will have a blast either way.
Click here for car participation registration. **This registration is for those wanting to park, decorate their cars, and hand out candy. First Second and Third Car prizes will be awarded.
We have had a blast in years past during this fun event. Click here to see what some homeowners have created before. You can also find some trunk or treat inspiration below.

Be Bear Aware
Evidence of bears in the area have been brought to our attention by community members in the Old Town neighborhood and Crystal Canyon Drive. We may see more bear activity in upcoming weeks as they prepare for hibernation. Bears can be attracted to the neighborhood in various ways, including trash, bird feeders, pet food, barbeque grills, fruit and compost.

House Bill 22-1137
As announced in previous board meetings, and reflected in the posted meeting minutes, we are working with legal counsel to amend two key policies, ensuring alignment with new Colorado legislation. HB 22-1137 went into effect on August 9. This new legislation is complex, to ensure that thoughtful drafts are presented for board approval, it is likely that such drafts will be voted on in the September board meeting. In the meantime, board and management are ensuring that we are in full compliance, given that CCIOA law supersedes our governing documents.
