About this property
Autumn/Fire Side in Buena Vista walking to down town
About this space This Rustic Cabin New Listing do read "The Space" below. Escape back in time with this quaint old log cabin. This 2bdrm cabin with a front porch, is located on a beautiful 5 acre shared parcel in the old heart of Buena Vista with a creek running close by. Also, enjoy the wildlife; deer, birds, chipmunks & other little critters. If your looking for a hotel, this isn't for you. But if your looking for a wonderful cabin to make memories & spend time with your family and friends this is the place. STR-061
The space As we shared in the description this great log cabin. We would love to have you and anyone that would like to rest, recharge and rejoice. If you choose to book this great cabin you're agreeing that its as is and agree that you will not dispute you're stay. As we need to address to you the home is very rustic, it's like going camping in a tent but inside. (Not a Hotel) The hot water works great, but is on a New energy saving hot water system. But we made some videos to show how it works, as some people have had issues with it. We also have a wonderful housekeeping team, but as I stated above it's a Rustic Mtn cabin and dust and dirt blow in if wind gets going. The main owner does keep some of his personal item's and has a service dog. But pets are not welcome as the HOA will not let guests bring them. No parties but Close to downtown and, bars and restaurants. As we love to have anyone, if you feel this place isn't for you, our staff and their families work hard to keep the place in order and can't afford refunds. ( As some sites are just refunding and some guests look for ways to get a free vacation we are sure your not that type of person)
Guest access We will offer these details once booked. As there is a lock box and map that will be emailed to you.
