This home was immaculate, beautifully curated, and filled with snacks and drinks. The kitchen was fully equipped with quality kitchenware and had everything we needed. The location is excellent; perfect for hiking the collegiate 14ers and excellent access to dining and shopping. The only reason I did not give it a 100% 5 star rating is because of the window unit air conditioning. We visited during a very hot week and despite our efforts to cool the place down by opening the windows at night, the back bedrooms remained uncomfortably hot.

We had an incredible Father’s Day weekend stay in Buena Vista and couldn’t have asked for a better property. The house was absolutely spotless and beautifully updated with a modern feel, while still having so much character. Every detail seemed thoughtfully considered, and it was stocked with every amenity you could possibly need — it truly felt like a home away from home.The property itself was huge and so much fun to explore. One of our favorite parts was all of the fascinating historical artifacts throughout the property that gave it a unique personality and made it feel like more than just a place to stay. We also loved walking the abandoned railroad behind the property — such a cool experience and a memorable part of our trip.The location was perfect as well: peaceful and private, but only about a 3-minute drive to all of the shops, restaurants, and activity on Main Street in Buena Vista. We had the best balance of feeling tucked away while still being close to everything. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Holtvoigt

Host profile image
Originally from the Midwest, I came to Buena Vista in search of adventure five years ago. After many mountains climbed and many trails hiked, I decided to stay here permanently. I love being able to share this beautiful place with others and to make their stays memorable for years to come.

We live on-site in a separate space. You’ll have privacy, but we’re nearby if you need assistance, recommendations, or just a friendly chat.

Why they chose this property

I absolutely love this location because you can walk less than 15 minutes to town, 15 min to the river trail, and still have privacy and space like you’re in the country side.

What makes this property unique

The property is unique because it is so close to town, but quiet and out of the main drag. We get the same families of deer that visit every year and a collection of foxes, raccoons, and even mountain lions that share the space with us. We love when we look out the living room window and see “our” deer staring right back at us. It is the wilderness up close and personal, in a cozy clean space and just a short walk from town and trails. What more could you ask for!
