About this property

43-Acre Working Farm - 5BR, Sleeps 11 - Collegiate Peaks Views - Cheese Creamery

Welcome to Buena Vista Farm Stay — a 43-acre working farm retreat that captures authentic Colorado mountain life in the heart of Buena Vista.

Nestled at the foot of the Collegiate Peaks, this stunning homestead is more than a rental. It's a living, breathing farm with goats, chickens, a working cheese creamery, stables and wide-open skies that will stop you in your tracks. Whether you're here with three generations of family, a group of friends celebrating a milestone, or a wedding party looking for somewhere unforgettable to unwind — this is your place.

THE HOMESTEAD
The beautifully appointed 5-bedroom home sleeps up to 11 guests in comfort and style. The heart of the home is a gourmet chef's kitchen, fully equipped to handle big family meals. Gather in the spacious living areas, spill out onto the wrap-around property, and end every evening at the crown jewel of the estate: the natural stone gas firepit.

Handcrafted from Colorado stone, this outdoor firepit is where the real magic happens — the kind of place where conversations go deep, s'mores get made, and nobody wants the night to end. With the silhouette of Mt. Princeton and the Collegiate Peaks glowing above, it's a a perfect setting for stargazing.

THE FARM EXPERIENCE
Wake up with the animals and mountain air. Visit the goat herd, collect fresh eggs from the chicken coop or watch the artisan cheesemakers at Buck & Bloom Creamery craft their award-worthy cheeses. Spend time exploring our 43 acres. This is a working farm — alive with purpose and rhythm — and your family gets to be part of it.

This is the kind of place kids talk about for years, and adults quietly book again.

THE SETTING
Situated just 5 minutes from downtown Buena Vista — one of Colorado's most beloved mountain towns — you're minutes from world-class whitewater on the Arkansas River, hiking the Fourteeners, mountain biking, Cottonwood Hot Springs, and the renowned local restaurant scene. The property is zoned for agricultural tourism and approved for short-term rental, set on quiet acreage just outside town limits with uninterrupted peak views.

We had three families staying with children 1 -11 years old. The house is amazingly big and the outside area was perfect for the kids to play. The host was very responsive to questions. The location was perfect for easy access to hiking and fishing. The kitchen was large and well equipped, which was important since some of our party love to cook. The kids also loved feeding the goats which are located on the farm. We will definitely plan to stay here again.

Kevin, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled that three families with kids spanning 1 to 11 all found room to spread out and play. That’s exactly what this property was made for. It makes us so happy to hear the big house and outdoor space worked perfectly for your crew. And of course the goats stole the show! Feeding them is a favorite for our younger guests, and it’s one of the things that makes a farm stay so special. We’re glad the kitchen served your cooks well too, and that you got to take advantage of the incredible hiking and fishing right nearby. You’re welcome back anytime. We’d love to host your families again for another mountain getaway and we have a couple of Alpacas for you to meet when your back!!

A NOTE FROM US
We built this farm stay to share something real — the smell of fresh hay, the sound of goats in the morning, the sight of snowcapped peaks at golden hour. We want every group that stays here to leave feeling restored, connected, and a little bit changed. That's the Buena Vista Farm Stay promise.
