This is such a wonderful house with so many fun touches. I especially loved the whirlpool bathtub which felt extra wonderful after hiking a 14er! Awesome location with plenty of restaurants nearby.

I am so delighted that you like the house AND for your wonderful review.
My team and I work hard to create a great vacation spot for travelers.
Come back again!
The host accommodated our special needs. We enjoyed the clean hot tub which was right outside the back door. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. It was very functional, some nice extras such as clothes baskets, and suitcase racks in each room. It was fully stocked with basic appliances and kitchen ware.

Thank you so much for your delightful review! If you get a chance, come back.
Great location close to scenic drives and hiking. Very comfortable accommodations that had plenty of room for a family of 7 adults. We loved the little extras like plush bath mats, towels, and bedding. Hot tub and fire pit were awesome as was the home theater. Very well appointed and well stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay again!

I want to tha nknyou so much for choosing my house out of many you had to choose from. That means a lot to me!! And the fact that you gave me 5 stars means even more.It's challenging to maintain a property that consistently gets 5 stars. So thank you again.
This was a fantastic place to stay in advance of a rafting trip. The house was nice and had everything you could hope for.

Great kitchen area and entire home is very clean. A family friendly venue - kids loved the hot tub and games in the Waterfall Saloon. Excellent location to quick access to many activities and to downtown Buena Vista - Can even walk to downtown! Excellent views of the mountains and lots of wild deer in the field out back. Highly recommend.

Fantastic stay for our family reunion in Buena Vista!
We absolutely loved our visit to this beautiful home in Buena Vista! I stayed here along with my husband, mother, aunt and uncle for our biannual family reunion. The place was everything we needed and then some, with so many great touches that gave it character and made it even more comfortable. The backyard with the hot tub, fire pit and saloon were lovely, the kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms, beds & baths were clean, spacious, and very comfortable, and the location is just a few min drive from the main street in town. We had a minor issue come up with the washer and dryer, and the owners were quick to fix it for us, as well as kind, communicative, and attentive the whole time. It is even better than the photos- we highly recommend it! It's hard to imagine a better place to stay in this cute little town. We would absolutely stay here again if we find ourselves in or near Buena Vista. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
Needed a place to stay for a quick rafting trip. Perfect place for our needs. Comfortable beds, clean with plenty of entertainment to keep everyone happy. Enjoyed our stay.
Great location to get to rafting, downtown, 3 different hot springs ( two very close ). House was perfect for our family. My wife & I plus our 17 year old daughter. My two sisters and spouses. Owner is a great lady & super helpful.
We had a multi-generational family get together and had a great time at this house. The owners thought of all the details and we enjoyed the outdoor space, the saloon, the easy access to trails and town, and the theater! We will stay here again if we're back in BV!

Great home away from home!
We stayed in this fabulous home on Buena Vista, CO. The owner was very accommodating and the home was beautiful. We will definitely be staying there again, if it's available when we go back this summer. Thanks again for an awesome weekend.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed your stay. I love seeing that guests have a pleasant stay. Please return. It was a joy to host you.
Clean, organized place close to main street in buena vista. Close to 2 hot springs. Spacious house with a great theater room and ping ping/air hockey. Loved this very clean place.
Six of us stayed at this property and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The house was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for both adults and kids. The home theater with six reclining seats was an absolute luxury and quickly became a favorite gathering spot.The kitchen and bathrooms were exceptionally well stocked—we brought several items we typically need when traveling, only to find the property already had everything covered. That level of attention to detail truly set this place apart.Access was seamless with the digital lock, and the beds were extremely comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind after full days of adventure. The outdoor “little saloon” was a fun and unique touch, offering games and serving as one of several mini destinations right on the property. And while the ping pong/air hockey table is on the smaller side, it was still a big hit with my kids.All in all, this is hands down the best property I’ve rented in years. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Buena Vista.
