About this property
Escape to an Extraordinary Log Home, amazing views, hot tub, secluded, tranquil
The Inn Between is an exceptional custom built handcrafted log home on 5 private acres surrounded by the Collegiate Peaks; just a few minutes from the town of Buena Vista in the nationally renowned Arkansas River Valley of Colorado.
As you enter the cabin you are greeted with the views of Mt. Princeton through the floor to ceiling windows. Massive logs support the towering two-story living area. The main floor is roomy with a well equipped kitchen, dining room, great room, two bedrooms and full bathroom. The second floor master suite has its own deck, full bath with 2 person shower, and a deep soaking tub with great window views. The ground floor has an extra family room, bedroom and full bathroom. The upstairs loft has a full size washer and dryer. All bedrooms have a queen bed and the downstairs bedroom also has a bunkbed.
All rooms have incredible views and furnishings are high quality western living styles. The deck provides a gathering area after a long day of hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking, rafting, fishing, or climbing 14,000 foot mountains. The great room has a 55” smart TV and the family room has a 65" smart TV. There is cable TV, blue ray, and Xbox. Hi Speed 500 Mbps Wifi internet is provided for free.
The ground floor has a full bath with walk-in shower, theater room with 7.2 surround system, and 4th bedroom with one queen bed and a twin bunk bed. It comes with heated floors, 9 foot ceilings, and numerous windows looking south to Mount Princeton and the foothills of Mt. Yale.
The Inn Between sits on 5 acres at the base of Mount Yale. This unique location is close to town, yet in a secluded setting. At night, from the comfort of your own hot tub, the Milky Way stretches across the heavens, and if you are lucky, there will be shooting stars “raining fire in the sky”. There is a 1/2 mile nature trail surrounding the property that winds through the numerous Pinion and Ponderosa pine trees. Mule Deer and Elk may wander thru during your visit.
Buena Vista is the center of Arkansas River activities in the valley but also offers hours of entertainment and local interest. Shopping, dining, golf, river walks, and an engineered kayak park will keep you entertained. Try your luck at the River Park Frisbee golf course and technical climbing rocks. Adjacent to the cabin is the entrance to the Cottonwood Pass road, while the Colorado Trail passes within a mile of home.
Visitors can enjoy short drives to historic Leadville to the north and 'artsy' Salida to the south. Summer activities include hiking & biking the fourteeners, high alpine meadows and cascading rivers, whitewater rafting, fishing the Arkansas or in the high mountain lakes with plenty of spaces to explore. During summer months, the town of Aspen makes a wonderful day trip where the trip itself over Independence Pass is part of the attraction. Winter visitors bring your snowshoes, skis, and sleds for the kids! Ski areas such as Monarch and Ski Cooper are less than 1 hour away, and Breckenridge, Vail and Summit County are about 1.5 hours away. Salida offers live theater at the Steamplant and lots of unique art galleries.
It is hard to beat this wonderful place to get away and enjoy the peace of the mountains and gaze at the stars after a great day outdoors. Sit on the deck and read in the sun, or soothe your muscles in the hot tub at the end of an adventurous day.
For security there are outdoor cameras at the front door and garage.
Buena Vista is truly a great place to visit at the base of the Collegiate Peaks Range whether it is summer or winter or Inn Between!

Absolutely gorgeous house and setting! House has all the amenities you could need on vacation. One of the few house rentals we have had that stand up to the pictures in the listing. Ample amenities from the kitchen to the bathrooms and entertainment. Clearly Maureen has thought about what makes for an enjoyable and comfortable home away from home. Plus you can’t beat the beauty of the area. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Maureen is great. Communication is excellent. The home is amazing. Pictures online get you excited...but it is more grand in person. It is the best home we have ever stayed in. The home, the kitchen, the living areas, the porch...the views, all of it. We love this place.
The cabin was absolutely amazing with stunning views of the mountains. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and game room. The host was very welcoming and communicated with us throughout our stay. We would definitely love to stay here again.
The house is absolutely amazing! The location, views, amenities are all above and beyond. The host was easy to reach and very accommodating. And everything in the house is beautiful and so well stocked. We will be back!!
The house was absolutely beautiful! It had everything we needed for our family of nine. The house was really well stocked and clean. The game room was a huge bonus for us. We would happily come and stay again and highly recommend this property!
House was as advertised and amazing! The host was very attentive and gave great instructions. They thought of everything, even the light switches were labeled. The neighborhood was quiet, conveniently located close to town and the hot springs. We loved our stay and cannot wait to stay again.
Maureen is the perfect host! The house had virtually everything you could possibly need and he recommendations were spot on! We will feint be back and did not want to leave!!!
Beautiful home and property! Everything you could need with extra details to make the stay easy and comfortable. The hosts were helpful, responsive and went the extra mile to make sure we knew about the fun in the area in such detail. I would love to rent again!
The hosts were so communicative and welcoming. Honestly the most prepared and super host experience I’ve ever had! The house was so well prepared and so beautiful. There’s a waffle maker and lots of condiments - it’s very stocked. Gorgeous house in a gorgeous place. Kind of them to share it.
Stunning cabin atmosphere in this luxury home. Perfect for bringing our adult children together. outdoor space at deck is especially nice. Easy access to town and other adventures nearby.
We had a fabulous stay, Maureen was so attentive and we so appreciated her concern with the nearby fire and keeping us updated. The house is amazing, it had everything we needed plus allot of extras to make our stay with our grandkids extra special. We cannot wait to come back next year!
We are a family that has loved Colorado and the outdoors for 35 years. The picture is of us having some fun on the Midland Trail above Buena Vista - being with the ones we love in Colorado, great hike, great views, well worth the sweat. Enjoyed many years traveling the west; finally settled on Buena Vista Colorado as the perfect place for us. Buena Vista offers it all, great location, marvelous local folks, all variety of activities.
Why they chose this property
This property is perfectly situated: Private, but not remote. You can see the stars without light pollution, yet is a short drive to town. The locals in this area are amazingly friendly and helpful. Never passed a person without them saying hello.
What makes this property unique
The cabin is built to very high standards. in-floor heating, high end fixtures and windows. The water is amazingly good to drink - nothing like filtered mountain water from Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. The hot tub is great, the architecture is wonderful to admire. Not obvious is the quiet that these thick logs bring when you finally turn in at night. The original owner designed and built this home with attention to views from every window.
