Loved the location! Downtown BV was easily accessible. We enjoyed walking to shops, restaurants, and the river. We had plenty of room with nine adults spending the night at one point (sleeper pads were comfortable). Overall a great place to stay.

Wonderful accommodations, with historic charm right on Main Street. The beds were comfortable, two full bathrooms - with great showers and a location that can not be beat! It was wonderful home base for hiking and rafting, with fun options to eat just outside the "front door".

We enjoyed our stay here, and the location is phenomenal. The one thing I would mention is that there is no A/C, and it got very warm at night. But overall, it is a spacious and comfortable spot which our family enjoyed.

Why they chose this property

Located on Main Street in downtown Buena Vista, the loft is close to many of the town's attraction. Several restaurants and boutiques, two parks and a splash pad for the kids, town lake and the Arkansas River are all within a ten-minute walk. A short drive and you'll find beautiful forests, bountiful fishing streams and lakes, the world-class Mount Princeton Hot Springs and Spa or the famous ghost town of St. Elmo. Winter guests will be ideally situated between Monarch Mountain Ski Area and Ski Cooper, either just a 45-minute drive. Almost anything the mountains have to offer can be found in Buena Vista, and your stay in the Main Street Loft allows you to be right in the middle of it all!
