About this property
Glorious location on the creek only 1/2 mile to town STR-130
This spacious cabin on Cottonwood Creek combines the best of both worlds. Enjoy a feeling of blissful seclusion whilst being just a half mile from the beautiful parks, restaurants and dining options of Main Street. Sit on the deck & relax to the sound of the rushing stream below, weaving it's path to the Arkansas River. This peaceful, secluded 2 acre property with 300 ft river access provides a quiet, comfortable setting for those looking for a pristine Colorado mountain vacation experience.
Our 3000+ ft sq ft, 5 BR / 2.5 BA creek side home is ready to welcome the entire family, weary travelers, wandering explorers, or romantics-at-heart! Sleeping up to 14 people, this cabin is the perfect retreat for families or small groups to reunite and share in the beauty of this idyllic location. The well equipped kitchen allows meals to be easily and quickly prepared, whilst the family plays a game at the dining room table or watches the Smart TV (Spectrum) in the living room. A second large flat screen TV in the upper level living area (w/ bedroom and full ensuite bathroom) allows those with different preferences to tune into their favorite shows via Chromecast. Both the walkout level and main level have master bedrooms and bathrooms, ideal for a family vacation of a lifetime. The upstairs bedroom has a twin log bunk bed and sofa sleeper and offers an additional living area complete with a newly renovated full bathroom with walk in shower. The cabin is fully equipped for comfort with quality linens, dishes, silverware, pots & pans and outdoor gas grill, along with typical kitchen appliances including microwave, stove and oven, dishwasher and coffee maker.
Outdoors you can enjoy the hot tub, or spend hours playing with friends and family alike in the Games Room with table tennis, foosball, pool and a darts board - may the games begin!
Although located on the river in a secluded location, our cabin is just a 5 minute walk to the heart of South Main - an acclaimed New Urbanist neighborhood on the river park in downtown Buena Vista. Just minutes from the front door you can be walking by the Arkansas river, riding a cruiser bike around downtown BV, fly fishing, rock climbing, rafting, whitewater kayaking, mountain biking or enjoying a locally brewed craft beer at Eddyline Restaurant and Brewery. A few steps away are artful galleries and hip clothing boutiques. A few blocks further you will find unique shops and a make-your-own art studio, along with drinking and dining experiences, in historic BV. These stores include one of the largest retailers of whitewater kayaking gear in the world, a small (but also renowned!) sushi restaurant, a coffee roaster and a distillery. If you are into hiking, backcountry skiing or snowshoeing, trail heads to many of Colorado's most majestic 14'ers are just a few minute’s drive away.
There are a multitude of activities to enjoy in the area: fish privately right out the back door, hike the Continental Divide Trail or Colorado Trail, summit a 14er, explore old mining towns or uncover gemstones via ATV and Jeep trails in the Jeep Capitol of the World, white-water raft or kayak the world-renowned Arkansas River, take a horseback ride through the woods, or soak in the nearby hot springs, and more!

Really wonderful mountain property. Can easily walk to BV. Comfy beds and cozy bedding. Spotless. Beautiful sound of creek out back. Kitchen fully equipped with everything.
Excellent location, good sleeping arrangements and a clean home. The ONLY nitpick we had was the lack of soap/shampoo in the showers. Having said that, we would absolutely stay there again.
This property was perfect for what we needed. We had our wedding party stay here over our wedding weekend. It fit everyone and was awesome being right next to downtown and the river.
Beautiful location away from hustle and bustle but within walking distance to shops/restaurants. Great kitichen and cooking implements with a dining table big enough for our family of 9. We all loved the game room and hot tub. Overall, a wonderful space for a multi-generational family gathering.
The property is just as advertised and made for a wonderful weekend getaway for our whole family. With both easy access to the river and downtown, this a perfect spot for a family getaway on Buena Vista
We loved this house in Buena Vista. The three families could spread in different rooms. The kitchen was large and spacious.The downtown area was walkable and we could walk to coffee shops.The best part was the deck space. So wonderful to hang out there.
This house was perfect for our family and our best friends and their family!!! Plenty of space for everyone, kids loved the game room and so close to town, hiking, rafting, etc…I would recommend to anyone and will stay here next time in BV;)
This property is great! Close to BV, right on the creek. Everything was clean, check in was easy. Everything you want!

Great place to stay! Quiet yet close to town
We had a great time staying at the riverhouse...plenty of room for our family of 10 and with 3 floors still enough privacy to retreat to your own rooms at the end of the day. Kids loved netflix movies at night while the adults relaxed in the hot tub under the stars and lights coming off the mountains was beautiful

Greatly appreciated - thank you, Kipp! We hope to welcome you guys back again in the future.
This is the second time we stayed at this house, for our annual girls trip. It is an exceptional house, very clean, stocked kitchen, and comfortable. The hosts are very easy to work with. We look forward to visiting again

About the host
Hosted by Peter Clarke
Originally from the UK we moved to Colorado 17 years ago and fell in love with such a beautiful state. Breckenridge has been home for most of that time and we love to travel both far and wide. We have spent a lot of time in the Arkansas Valley doing all the usual outdoor activities that you can imagine: climbing 14ners, mtn biking, rafting, road biking and generally enjoying everything this idyllic location has to offer.
Why they chose this property
The chance to buy a great house right on the river does not come up often, so when we saw the location and ample space provided by this property we jumped at the chance! Sitting on the deck or around the fire pit alongside Cottonwood Creek listening to the water rushing by is glorious! Being so close to town to go out for meals whilst at home being secluded and removed from any road noise is perfect for us, and brings the best of both worlds.
