The Red Farmhouse at South Main welcomes you! Steps away from the River Trails!!
Located on a peaceful street, The Red Farmhouse is the best of both worlds. A perfect combination of solitude and walking access to all the amenities South Main has to offer. Two minutes after stepping out your door you could be walking by the river, riding a cruiser bike around downtown Buena Vista, mountain biking the extensive Midland Bike Trail system, fly fishing, rock climbing, white water rafting , kayaking or enjoying an IPA at the Eddyline Restaurant and Brewery. Two awesome live music venues are with in walking distance from “The Red Farmhouse”. One is just steps away at The Surf Hotel which is also the premier wedding venue of the area. Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort is a short drive away as is the ghost town of St. Elmo. Cottonwood Pass offers endless recreational possibilities in winter and summer and is now paved all the way to Crested Butte!
Amazing views from the spacious Master Bedroom which is the entire top floor of the house with en-suite bathroom and deep soaking bathtub. A small desk, a reading armchair with a view and a large smart TV with cable make this master bedroom a real “retreat”. The top floor master bedroom is now equipped with a 14,000 BTU portable air conditioner. An abundance of floor to ceiling windows and an open floor plan make kitchen and living area very comfortable for a group or family. Afternoon sunshine and spectacular Buena Vista sunsets from the huge front porch are a peaceful way to end an active day on the trails or river. Two spacious and bright lower lever bedrooms share a large bathroom with tub and each room has its own smart TV. One pet under 30 pounds and over 2 years of age may be considered. Hypoallergenic breeds preferred for the comfort of all of our guests. Please reach out with your pets details prior to booking. Buena Vista STR License # 026

First time staying in the downtown area and it was great. It was almost too convenient as walking to shops and restaurants were easy and we did it often after the days of adventuring. The host was great, we'd stay here again.
This home was absolutely fantastic. We felt welcomed and cared for upon entrance. The home was clean, beautiful and well maintained. It fits the description online perfectly. The outside was just as beautiful as the inside, and the river is just a short walk away. We truly enjoyed our stay.
This is a great place to stay in Buena Vista. Close to the river and Surf hotel, perfect size kitchen and bedrooms were large enough for everyone. The porch was a nice bonus.
Such a nice, clean little house. Very convenient, had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, kids loved staying downstairs. I honestly have no complaints!
The Red Farmhouse was perfect for us! Very clean and pet friendly. There was attention to detail in every room-thinking of the guest's needs/wants. The hosts were very quick to reply when we reached out. Will stay again here.
Great little farmhouse in a great location close to the river, bike park, restaurants on south main and close to downtown BV too. Great views of the mountains. The house had everything we needed too. We will be back!
We had the best time staying here in BV! The house was a perfect location, so clean, and comfortable. Erin and Jim were great hosts! It had amazing views and we loved sitting outside and seeing all the deer that would stop by. Highly recommend staying here!
We were impressed with the cleanliness and attention to detail. Everything thing we needed was provided. The location was an excellent base for all BV has to offer. Looking forward to our next visit.
Attended a wedding at the Surf hotel and stayed at the Red Farmhouse with another couple. The location was great and the accommodations were wonderful as well. The hosts were so nice and easy to work with- highly recommend😀
The house was very clean, well supplied, comfortable, and welcoming. Wonderful location, and the views were amazing. Excellent communication with the owners as well.
Great spot for our family of 5 to walk all over BV, the river, and trails. Also a great jump off for skiing Copper and Monarch. House had everything and hosts were super responsive. Would highly recommend.
4 of us rented the Red Farmhouse for a BV escape. Loved the house which was very clean, cozy and bright and very well equipped. Close to the river and hiking and a short walk to town. The hosts responded quickly to all questions and were very friendly to work with. Would definitely stay here again
The property is exactly as presented on the VRBO site. Great location to walk to dinner. Great location to drive for some nice hikes. There is no air conditioning, but we were gone during the day and the breeze kept us cool at night
We had a great time due, in large part, to the house and the location. Great hosts, clean house, very welcoming, and the best view in the valley. This will be the first place we try to book whenever we get to return. Plenty of space to hang out, cook, sleep 6, and close to everything BV offers. Beautiful house inside and out.
The “Little Red House” fit our needs perfectly! We (grandparents) stayed upstairs, and our adult children and their children stayed in the 2 downstairs bedrooms. If you come in the summer the master suite has air conditioning. The main level and downstairs have constant cool breezes. Because we had 2 other adult children couples joining us on the vacation we had to stay in 2 places, but the best part of “The Little Red House” was a wonderful, breezy front porch where we visited every evening. Great memory maker!
Stayed at the Red Farmhouse for six weeks with a couple of friends. What a fantastic experience! The property is perfectly located within easy walking distance of the Arkansas River, shops, restaurants, etc. We mostly cooked at home and found the kitchen comfortable and well-equipped. The dining room, inviting front porch, and side patio with grill and uninterrupted views of Mt. Princeton all saw their share of great meals. Bedrooms were comfortable, living room cozy, and property clean and well ordered. Buena Vista is a lovely town and a great place to get away from the craziness of COVID city life. Erin and Jim were fantastic hosts -- friendly, good communicators, and VERY responsive whenever a need arose. Place is probably not best for infants or people with mobility difficulties (stairs). Otherwise, do yourself a favor and get some Red Farmhouse in your life ASAP.

Thank you Corey for the kind words and so glad to hear that you enjoyed the red farmhouse and are returning!
Stayed in the red farmhouse in Buena Vista. House was clean well equipped and owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Loved the decor also. We were even welcomed with two bottles of wine waiting for us. House would work well for a family or couples even. Can’t wait to go back

We work in the luxury travel business and therefor take cleanliness and hygiene very seriously, especially in this day and age. For that reason we do not do same day turn arounds and we have a strict in house cleaning protocol.
