Very clean rooms, location was great, having the airport trail nearby was perfect, backyard fence was secure for our pups which is a huge plus for us, and the hot tub was just a big cherry on top.

The Rapid Ranch is a clean, well appointed, property that is close to downtown BV and the newer South Main Street area. Our only wish was to have a few blankets for hanging out and watching TV at night.

Buena Vista Basecamp

This was our second time staying here, most likely won't be our last. The location of this home is perfect for exploring Buena Vista and surrounding areas. We love that pets are allowed. The beds are insanely comfortable and after a long day at the hot springs a comfy bed is much appreciated. We are definitely going to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Alex Murray

Host profile image

Hi, my name is Alex. I purchased this home in Buena Vista due to my love for the outdoors and quiet mountain towns.

Why they chose this property

We have beautiful views of Mt.Princeton from the front of the house. The home is in a quiet neighborhood while still being close to Main Street.

What makes this property unique

Our home is special due to our 6 person hot tub, game room, large family room and dining table, fenced in back yard, fenced in dog walking path across the streeet, scenic mountain views, and close proximity to town.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
