We stayed for 2 nights in one of the tiny homes. We had our own fire pit and chairs, it was nice to have a full kitchen and our own space. The property had lots of people staying and was still very quiet and felt secluded. We will recommend to friends and we will be back!!

I stayed at the Oxford for two nights and was sad to leave! The tiny house was well stocked and absolutely delightful, convenient and comfortable! I was solo traveling so I think with a second person it would be a bit more tight if you had a lot of luggage. I hope to be back again soon!

Beautiful surroundings adequate accommodation

Relatively comfortable and practical stay for 1 night during a festival weekend. The Belford tiny home was a bit warn down and low quality finishes. Price was high but expected for a sold out festival weekend. Staff was friendly and helpful, bed was comfortable.

I loved the mountain hiking we could walk right up to from our porch. We got to explore the mountain without an exact trail, and it was easy to find our way back to camp. I also loved that there was a gas stove, a gas grill, charcoal grill, campfire pit with an affixed grill, and a gas fire pit...so many options for cooking and sitting by a fire to make staying out in nature easier and more relaxing. Also the campground was quiet and clean. We used this as a hotel in nature rather than camping, and I would recommend it for either purpose.

I come to Buena Vista every year to hike. This was the perfect place to rest after a day hiking. Clean, a short drive to everything, and quiet. I loved being able to cook my own meals.

Great view

We did a quick night stay in one of the mini houses which was just right for two with a comfortable bed and bathroom. Although a bit pricey, when really enjoyed our stay. The view was awesome as we sat by the gas fire pit watching the sunset. Communication and service was excellent.

Beautiful views! Mostly comfortable.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in the tiny house. It was cute, quiet, and the views are amazing! However, it could use a deep clean on the window sills and shelves. In a tiny house, you use every space. Beds were great! However, the couch cannot be considered as a sleeping area. It’s not just uncomfortable. It’s painful. My teenager had to use extra pillows to make it bearable, but she didn’t sleep well at all during our stay. It honestly should be replaced since it’s barely comfortable as a couch. The loft beds were great.

We loved staying in the yurt! It was like no experience we’ve ever had. The view of the mountain during the day is incredible and the stars at night at breathtaking. We loved it here.

This is perfect for a couple. We did see a bball hoop, horseshoe pit and volleyball net. Wish we knew we would have had some extra fun. There was a firepit but didnt know how to work it which sucked but overall recommend.

Staying in the yurt was a fun, unique experience and the facilities were very clean. Big problem is that we were not able to hang out in the Yurt until ~ sun down (8pm) because it was like an oven during the hot day. Makes sense; it is just a big tent. We ran the ac unit and fan but that didn't help. We opened the windows but still not much improvement. It cooled down when outside cooled down. We hung out in the club house and played pool for a couple hours; it would've been a lot more disappointing if we had arrived earlier in the day.

We stayed at one of those tiny homes. It was cute and comfortable for six of us. The only thing is the heater. it got really hot where the queen bed was, but all the other area stayed pretty cold. So some of us were sweating at night but some of us were freezing. Other than that we didn’t have any problems. Had beautiful view of mountains, got to see some deer on the site as well. Overall we very much enjoyed the stay!
