We have now stayed at this property two years in a row, both experiences have been a pleasure. Janna is an accommodating host with timely and proactive communication. The house has been clean and comfortable and located in a great spot with beautiful views of the Collegiates Peak and walking distance to both old main and new S. Main, as well as the Arkansas River and the Barbara Whipple trail system. We will stay here again next year if not sooner, BV has so much to offer these days and Janna’s properties are perfectly located to enjoy the best of all of it.

Great 3 bed with comfy beds and living area with big TV. Well equipped kitchen for cooking and baking. We enjoyed the nearness to the trails, BV and shopping. The private back garden was great for watching the afternoon storms roll through. Fly screens on the windows were a bonus so we could have everything open but keep out all the bugs. The owners were very helpful throughout our stay.

Home had all of the amenities you need for overnight stays. The mountain views off the back deck were amazing. House is a great location if you are looking to visit Mt Princeton Hot Springs during your stay. Downtown BV was a short (few minutes) drive as well.

Incredible stay. Deck views are 10/10. Thoughtful touches throughout, especially for families: kids books, outlet covers, cozy blankets, and a well-stocked kitchen. Quiet, great location near downtown and the river. Garage parking and responsive hosts. One of our favorite family stays.

Great place to stay

This was a very comfortable and quiet townhouse. The walk to town was lovely along Cottonwood Creek. The neighborhood was quiet with a few walkers out and about.

Perfect Getaway

Beautiful home and location. Nicely equipped with kitchen items and laundry. Extras- towels for the hot springs, games, and backyard. We were a short drive to a variety of places that the whole family enjoyed. Great biking trails for the whole family. We couldn’t ask for a better place!

vacation stay

overall a very relaxing stay. House was clean, location good The only thing we would put forward is that the weather was fantastic and would have liked to spend more time in backyard, but the aesthetics were lacking---not a very pretty back yard with no trees or much vegetation and did not look like a lot of work went into it
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024
Response from VrboOwner on Nov 9, 2024
I'm sorry you were dissapointed with our back yard. We have a barbecue grill, a table and chairs and a fire pit table. I've also painted a small mural on the fence, so we have tried to make it a nice place to hang out.. True, we don't have grass right now--only rocks and our small flower bed. Come again next year and you will be able to enjoy all of the improvements we are now working on. Thanks for staying with us.
