I am used to having to be somewhat flexible and accepting when I book a vacation rental, but I did not have to "let things slide" with this house. It was everything that I hoped for and more. This house was clean, had everything we needed and extras, and was in a great location. I would highly recommend this home. I cannot say enough good things. It was so nice to stay in a place that makes you feel welcomed. The owners thought of small details that made you feel like they want you there. Something as simple as a new full-size bar of soap in the bathrooms and a new sponge and dish soap in the kitchen made me feel cared for. I would stay here again.

The home was just as advertised in the listing. Comfortable living spaces, and loved the outdoor furniture . It was a great space for my extended family! Walk to the coffee shop was a nice morning activity to get us going. Quiet neighborhood and very close to restaurants and shops. Short drive to Salida as well.

Our host Renee was Awesome! I give her 5 stars. She was and is a premier host. However the description of the amities provided by the owner were vague. There is no hot tub, this reference is a jetted bathtub in the master bathroom. The other thing I had issue with was there was no air conditioning. I rented it in August and the temperature were still in the 80’ 90’ during the day. It does get cool at night but the house holds the heat until 2 or 3 in the morning with all the windows open. They do provide fans. Other than that the house accommodated us well. I highly recommend this place for its proximity to the shops and restaurants and the spectacular scenery in the surrounding area. But rent it in the fall through the spring unless you like the heat.

Perfect place for our needs

This house was spotless! It is super well arranged and very nicely appointed & furnished. It’s in a newer neighborhood, yet close to all the downtown fun. We had 10 total for our 4 day/3 night stay. They even had extra keys for us:)

Disappointment led to anger

There were only two search criteria for finding our girls’ annual getaway in Buena Vista, CO, number of beds and a hot tub. When we arrived at the property there was no hot tub. Two of my friends pulled up the property listing and confirmed that hot tub was clearly on the amenities list. I called the property manager, the call “dropped” and she never returned my call. I subsequently had several conversations with the property manager and was told there was never a hot tub listed and she forwarded screenshots of the property listing that now said, “spa tub”. I next received a text thread [I was inadvertently included] between the property manager and VRBO tech support re the “hot tub glitch”. This property was booked through a local management company but I later learned was also listed by VRBO and several other agencies. I have spoken multiple times with VRBO representatives, none of which have been able to reach the owner. I was told I needed to have contacted them within 24 hours to report the issue. I could not have known that since it was booked through a different agency. I asked the third VRBO agent to let me speak with a supervisor and he refused, stating he already gave me the correct information. So, disappointment has turned to anger and frustration. It is not fun being lied to and given the runaround.

Magnificent Stay on Marquette!

The house was conveniently located to downtown Buena Vista so we could pop in between all the activities the area has to offer. It was one mile down to our favorite spot on the river! The house was clean and spacious to comfortably house the ten of us. We would highly recommend this place; Renee was great to work with!
