Wonderful Stay with a Stunning View

Perfect location. The cabin is tucked away where you feel you are in a secluded area of the mountain. The view from the cabin is absolutely stunning. The hosts were responsive and accommodating. The check in and checkout process was one of the easiest we’ve experienced. We’ve already recommended this cabin to our close family and friends.

Amazing view!

Splendid Isolation is the perfect descriptor for this property! The house has a great view of the chalk cliffs of Mt. Princeton, and downtown BV is only 20 minutes away! The house is well-maintained and very comfortable. Check-in and check-out could not be easier. The large windows provide a stunning view, but they also mean that it can get warm on sunny days. However, fans are available. The only two things we would change are to put one of the queen beds in the lower BR and make the vanity in the upper bathroom narrower to make it easier to get in the shower.

Incredibly Beautiful and Serene

The cabin is gorgeous and the view was a dream. The location is secluded yet many wonderful attractions are within easy reach, and it's close to Buena Vista and Salida for shopping and other conveniences. Everything was neat and clean and our stay was most enjoyable.

Gorgeous, Clean Cabin

The cabin was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. Very clean and spacious with everything we needed. There is no washer and dryer though but thankfully we brought enough clothes and there were plenty of towels that we didn’t need it. Perfect location in the mountains with easy access to Buena Vista and short drive to Salida. Would definitely stay here again!
