Comfortable cabin on the slopes of Mt. Princeton (14,197 feet). It is situated at 9,000 feet in a gorgeous ponderosa pine forest. It has a very private deck with a beautiful view of Mt. Yale (14,196 feet) and a pond surrounded by cottonwoods and aspens (amazing fall colors!!).
Nearly a perfect location only minutes from dozens of trails for hiking and mountain biking; less than 10 minutes from the Arkansas River which has world-class rafting, kayaking, and fishing. Both Monarch Mountain Ski Area (45 minutes) and Ski Cooper (1 hour) are nearby and provide excellent alpine and Nordic skiing opportunities. There are countless backcountry skiing and snowmobiling areas within minutes. Horse boarding and expert local trail advice available.
Mt. Princeton Hot Springs is only 5 minutes away and Cottonwood Hot Springs is 10 minutes. Either is a great way to wrap up a spectacular day in the Upper Arkansas Valley...

We stayed for 4 nights at this cabin. The property is easily accesible and close to many attractions. The cabin was well equipped, clean, and comfortable. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced place to stay while enjoying the Colorado high country.

Cozy and Relaxing Getaway Cabin

Awesome and quiet place!!! Great location!! We stayed here for a week with our 3 year old, and my sister and her husband. The cabin accomodated all of us comfortably, and there was enough level area outside so we never worried about our 3 year old rolling down the hill. The one morning we even had four deer right up by the back deck!! The area is beautiful and quiet, but still close enough to town and there is alot to do in the area. We took our 71' Ford Bronco along and did alot of trails, visited several old mining towns, and even did some panning. Lastly, the owners are great and easy to work with. They get back with you right away!! Definitely recommend this place for vacation!!!

A cozy cottage with great views from the deck. It is very private ( 10 min out side of BV) and very quiet. There is some limited hiking right outside the back door on the flank of Mt. Princeton. Sprint had cell signal at the house. No TV or internet means you can unplug.

We had no trouble at all finding the cabin from the directions given to us by the owners and were very pleased with the location, the availability of supplies and kitchen items, the new bathrooms and the cleanliness of the cabin. Our early July 2011 stay there was a perfect time of year in a beautiful location in the state of Colorado and we found it to be very relaxing and enjoyable.

Amazing deal on a mountain cabin (more like a house than a cabin). The back deck of this cabin is sooo nice to sit out on and have a drink looking out over the snow capped mountains. Close to the hot springs, town, and the Colorado trail.

We enjoyed 4 wonderful days here in August 2009. The cabin is cozy, quiet, comfortable and perfect for a family or group of friends looking for a get away and some serious board games. For those who like to climb 14ers, there is a pick of more than a half dozen within an hour's drive, including Mt. Elbert, Colorado's highest peak. For rafters, the Arkansas River is a 10 minute drive away. Buena Vista is a small but lively town with lots to offer.

I really liked the cabin which was tucked away but still close to the city center. The arrangement was good and the cabin had a vintage feel to it. I felt my stay was pretty comfortable and I did not have any issues. The owner is very easy to work with and responds quickly to emails etc.

Really loved the cabin interior. The knotty pine throughout is so cozy and the lilliputian bunkroom is an 11-year-old kid's dream! In fact, we've stayed in lots of vrbo rentals and this one probably had top sleeping quarters of all! Super convenient to BV, hiking, and great dirtbiking. Great place!
