Overview
4 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Sleeps 8
Designer's vacation home fully loaded with attention to detail and views of the Collegiate Peaks and Sawatch Range. Our cabin is located in Buena Vista, Colorado. Perfect for families, conveniently located in town and close to everything: restaurants, shopping, parks, golf club , skiing, and the Arkansas River amenities. "BV" is a great locale to serve as a central 'base camp' for day trippin' to Salida, Aspen, Canon City, Gunnison, Crested Butte, Leadville, Breckenridge, Twin Peaks, Vail, etc.) and it offers a wide variety of activities year round for the whole family to enjoy.
BV is the primo spot for outdoor & river sports such as hiking, snow skiing(Monarch is 45 mins away, Cooper is one hr away), rafting, kayaking, biking, paddle boarding, horseback riding, 4wheeling(Jeep & ATV rentals close by), fishing, hunting, climbing, golfing, prospecting (The Prospectors TV show is filmed 20 mins away),snowmobiling, dog sledding through the snow, etc.! The trendy South Main area is close by and offers some of the best river sports, outdoor concerts, restaurants, shops, as well as a great rock climb for the kids and adults. Like to view wildlife? Just outside our cabin, you'll see elk, deer, fox and hummingbirds (and yet, you're still in town). Ok, and maybe the occasional bear that wanders down into town in the summer, if you're lucky to spot one! Other fun things to do are : soaking in geo-thermal hot springs, visiting ghost towns, perusing artful galleries, antiquing, shopping great hip clothing boutiques and just hanging out by the park in town, or the river park in hip South Main neighborhood.
In the summertime, catch a movie the ole fashioned way at the Comanche Drive-In Movie Theater, just 3 miles west of the one BV traffic light.
Like a good beer? Be sure to check out Eddyline Brewery for great craft beers!
Our home welcomes you with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, gourmet stocked kitchen, comfy linens and comfy beds. We also have an aspen lined private fenced backyard with a nice bbq area and a fire pit. Pretty garden in the summertime. Have your morning coffee or tea on the front porch or in the privacy of the backyard.
About Jeanette Van Wicklen
We're from Spicewood, Tx. (just outside of Austin) I'm an Interior Designer and my husband is a Family Dentist. We're parents and grandparents! Our family loves the great outdoors and we wanted a place to experience the many amenities here all year round. We also love to share our cabin with our renters so that they can also experience the amazing beauty of this area!
Jeanette Van Wicklen purchased this cabin in 2014
Why Jeanette Van Wicklen chose Buena Vista
We chose BV because of it's amazing central CO locale and because the climate here beckons us to be outdoors all year round. My husband is also an avid Enduro dirt bike rider and loves the many public trails in this area of Colorado. The people are friendly and the town is quaint, charming and full of mining history. The town has a "boho vibe" and is very unpretentious and we like that laid back spirit. We fell in love with this house when we first saw it because of it's unique details, the pretty summer garden and the amazing views all around the property. BV is located in what they call the 'banana belt' and therefore has many sunny days, yet we experience all 4 seasons here in all it's beauty! We also love in the summer, to day trip over to Aspen via the Independence Pass! (in my opinion, one of the most gorgeous drives I've ever been on)
What makes this cabin unique
The location of this house is awesome, whether you want to drive, bicycle or go for a scenic walk. The Arkansas River is conveniently close by for white water rafting, fly fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The charming & friendly City Market grocery is very close too. The town has many beautiful hiking trails and biking trails and has wonderful streets for cruiser bikes. The central CO locale is great for day trips to Salida, Aspen, Twin Lakes, Leadville, Minturn, Vail, Breckenridge, Gunnison, Crested Butte, Monarch Mountain, St. Elmo's, etc. (too many possibilities!) Because of our great climate here, you can enjoy amenities here year round. Did you know they film the Prospector's show here too? (and be sure to check out the outdoors Mineral and Gem show here each August, it's awesome!) And the summertime drive-in movie theater & the numerous outdoor concerts at South Main!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Wonderful weekend in a beautiful cabin in the most charming of Colorado towns! Crossman Cabin had everything we needed and more! The owners have done a lovely job decorating the place, too!

Beautiful cabin in a wonderful location.
This cabin was the perfect get away spot to experience the area. It was incredibly well maintained and spotless. The outdoor fireplace and yard was a wonderful location to enjoy coffee. We highly recommend this.
Darling cozy cabin
This cabin is amazing. Beautifully decorated modern farmhouse style cabin. Beds are comfy, linens are high quality, and the attention to every detail is perfect. The paint choices, bathroom finishes, stocked kitchen, and the living area was perfect for our family. The back yard is so inviting and we loved using the fire pit! It very close to Main Street and the grocery store. We would have loved to stay longer and we plan to be back again and would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a fun Colorado getaway. BV has lots to offer and you are close to Nathrop, Salida, and Leadville. Jeanette was easy to communicate with and made the entire process run smoothly! Enjoy your stay!
Unfortunately more CONS than PROS
PROS:
The cabin looks nice and cozy, not exactly like in the pictures but it is very close to it.
CONS:
- In the patio there is a grill that we couldn't use because was VERY gross, have no idea when was cleaned last time, there were food/meat leftovers on it and we decided not to use it.
- Downtown Buena Vista that is very cute (shown in the last picture) is not where the cabin is, you need a car to get there, the cabin is in the not-very-nice part of Buena Vista
- There is a pretty high cleaning fee but on the check out instructions there are a bunch of requests like removing sheets from the beds, starting washing machine with towels, starting the dishwasher, bring the garbage out, ... so I wonder why I have to pay the cleaning fee if I have to do all these stuff. In all my experiences as traveller I've never been requested to pay a fee and also do half of the cleaning.
- communication for check-in wasn't easy, sent multiple messages to see if it was possible a slightly earlier check-in but didn't receive an answer that arrived the day after when we already checked-in
-shower drain upstairs wasn't working and we had to fix it
For this high price a night in Buena Vista I was definitely expecting something better.
Perfect mountain cabin
This quaint stylish cabin made our stay perfect! Both the indoor and outdoor space is warm and welcoming. Updated with every amenity needed complete with an outdoor space that felt like an English garden with seating under the stars. The location - just off a main road is close to restaurants and the city market grocery. The cabin is also close to parks, a golf course and South Main. We LOVED our stay. If we come back to Buena Vista we will definitely stay here!
Very nicley appointed
Very nice
Good, but uncomfortably warm at night for sleeping.
The cabin was very nice, but the people in the upstairs bedrooms had a very difficult time sleeping because of the hot rooms. The largest room had an ac unit and was better than the others. All of the rest of the cabin and it's features were wonderful.
Map
We are ideally located in town , close to shopping and great restaurants....also very close to the trendy South Main area. Salida is a convenient 20 min drive to find more shopping and a movie theatre as well as great restaurants. Monarch Mountain ski lodge is an ez 40 mile scenic drive drive.
