I'd recommend this house to anyone. We were able to hike, cross country ski, and downhill all from the same location, and we loved the convenience of being so close to both Buena Vista and Salida. The kids loved playing near the creek, and the woodburning stove kept the house incredibly warm. At night we even saw the Milky Way! The Olert's, Denver, CO

Thanks Bonnie, By the way we had a wonderful weekend and were so comfortable in your house! Everything we could have asked for was there- and the beds were wonderful- we have a feather bed and usually don't sleep well when traveling. We'll definitely recommend your place to friends. Thanks again- Kris Ellis

Eric and Jayne, We're back from our summer trip to Colorado and we just wanted to l et you know that we really enjoyed staying at your house. Of the houses we have stayed at in the past, it is by far the best equipped. Very nice. We will certainly keep the house in mind for next year should we return to Buena Vista (a near certainty). We hope you would want us back. Thanks again, Todd Treu

We truly enjoyed the house! It was great to be so close to the hot springs, and the views of the Chalk Cliffs were just gorgeous. Bob and Cheryl Nescopek, Tulsa, OK

Dear Bonnie, I just wanted to tell you that we had a great time on our vacation and we found that your vacation home was the best stocked and most “homey” of any place we have ever rented. The thoughtful touches of a selection of books and games, extra pillows and blankets, etc made a real difference. The kitchen had every possible item to prepare meals. I also really appreciated a truly “non-smoking” atmosphere. It was a joy to be there. My thanks to you, Shari Jeschke
