Very clean, well stocked home with plenty of room. Views are great and this area (5 min NW of town) is very quiet. Host communication was excellent. The semi-rural area is a mix of small ranches and homes on acreage. Most are nice and well-kept, but some are run down and have junk cars on the property. This is rural life, folks. It's quiet, peaceful and everyone waves when they drive by. We didnt lock our truck at night. Don't come to the outskirts of Buena Vista and expect middle class suburbia. Take a walk down the road to see the bison too!
