The RiverHouse Group

What The RiverHouse Group does

The RiverHouse Group is a privately held luxury hospitality company that operates a portfolio of intimate lodges and outdoor experiences in Argentine Patagonia. Founded by a circle of family and friends with a shared passion for wild places and fishing, the company operates three core properties: Arroyo Pescado, a private spring creek fly fishing lodge in Chubut Province with exclusive access to over 23 km of private water within a 14,000-hectare estancia; River House Patagonia, a lodge on the Chimehuín River near San Martín de los Andes offering access to multiple rivers and lakes; and Southland Outfitter, a free-range Red Stag hunting operation near Bariloche. The company serves high-net-worth individuals — primarily affluent fly fishers, ethical hunters, and nature enthusiasts — through all-inclusive 4-day and 7-day packages priced on a per-person basis, with quote-based rates available only via direct email inquiry.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and high-touch: bookings are handled exclusively through the company's website and a single sales email inbox, with no third-party resellers or online travel agencies in the distribution chain. Small group sizes (typically 4-12 guests per property, capped at 5 hunters at Southland) and personalized service are central to the value proposition, supported by a content-driven marketing approach centered on the website, blog, and Instagram. Revenue derives from these all-inclusive lodge packages covering accommodations, meals, beverages, guided activities, and airport transfers. There is no proprietary technology platform; the company operates as a traditional experiential hospitality business.

The company is in active expansion mode. A new luxury lodge is under development at Arroyo Pescado with an expected February 2027 opening, and two additional properties — Jurassic Lake Lodge and Carrileufu River Lodge — are planned within the group portfolio. Three affiliated properties (La Corolina Island House, Hotel Catedral Patagonia, La Ensenada Polo) extend the brand into island hospitality, hotel lodging, and equestrian/polo experiences. The company has stated a vision to expand to new regions in Argentina and beyond, while maintaining its philosophy of small groups, high standards, and conservation of the landscapes it operates in. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investment are disclosed; ownership remains with the founding family-and-friends group.
