Loved our stay here! The cabin was gorgeous and had everything we could’ve asked for with awesome extras like the sauna and pool table. It was such a great deal for the price. We can’t wait to come back!
Such a lovely home in a beautiful location! The Mountain View was amazing and the night sky was breathtaking. Everything was clean and well labeled. Would definitely recommend!
We had an outstanding time staying here. The host was extremely helpful and very responsive. We would highly recommend this home and will definitely stay here again.
This is an amazing home and has everything you could possibly need. The view of the stars at night was beyond amazing! It was great to enjoy some quiet time away from the business of the holiday. I highly recommend this home!
This was one of the best VRBO’s me and my husband have stayed in. The view is amazing and is very welcoming. Sauna and pool table were fun too. Definitely going to come back with the family.
Great stay. Place was clean, well stocked for the family. Great pool table, sleeping areas and sauna. Remote was nice and within reach of towns and activities. White water rafted, zip line, and hiking within hour.
Absolutely gorgeous place. Was able to ride straight to Salida for lunch without trailering. Very clean, comfortable, and I will be renting again. This is one of those hidden gems of the area. Host is very responsive and friendly.
This property was so welcoming to me( age 71) my son ( age 42 ) , my daughter in law ( age 43) , and three grandsons ( ages 9, 7 and 1.5 years old). The home is very comfortable, pretty, and well appointed with lots of areas to gather indoors and out as well as ample room to stay quiet and private. Everything worked and super clean! The host Todd was very accessible and attentive through the app mail and there was an emergency! One child became very ill during the night and he helped us through that too adjusting our departure time. Even the kid’s dog was delighted with the property as it is perfect for dogs too. Will definitely book this again!
Stayed here with my Father, and it was a great base camp for our adventures in and around the Buena Vista area. Super clean, super nice, and the hosts are wonderful. Plenty of space for lots of people, and the barrel sauna is particularly lovely. Highly recommend!
This is an outstanding property in the valley with plenty of outdoor activities to choose from. Great views off the deck, well stocked house, and plenty of space for a large family.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was clean, quiet and comfortable. We particularly liked the remote location and the dark skies at night. Found it to be just as advertised, with a welcoming, homey feel. Will come back again for another visit :-)
Our family loved staying here. The children loved the pool table and walking around the property. The adults loved the views and layout of the home. The host was helpful and communicative. We would definitely stay again. :)
We were only here for a couple days but it was exactly what we needed. We sauna'd, worked remotely for a few hours, watched some movies, and relaxed. The views were stunning and the location was quiet. Just perfect
Wonderful home with so many amenities. Hosts were incredibly responsive to any questions, toiletries and an array of cooking supplies were included, and the home was extremely clean and well maintained.
