The River House was originally built by Jim and Joyce Potgeter in 1964. The Potgeter family has long ties from the beginning in the Steamboat Rock area. They owned and operated the Greenbelt elevators, which were located on the west side of the railroad bridge along the Iowa river. Two old metal grain storage buildings are all that remain. The current owner of the River House, Aaron Armstrong, spent a lot of time there as a boy. His grandfather, Richard Green was born on a farm northwest of Steamboat Rock in 1918, about a mile from the River House as the crow flies. Richard and his wife, Lillian Green, retired in the area in 1978 and were good friends with the Potgeter’s. Some of the best memories of Aaron’s life were at this house, along the river and in the surrounding area. Aaron purchased the River House a few years back, when he and his son were visiting on a fishing trip from California. Since lodging is limited in Steamboat Rock, he wants this house to make some great memories for others as a cool vacation rental for the locals or families visiting the area. The River House, the coolest location in Hardin County, is now available for everyone to enjoy--definitely Destination Cool!
