About this property

*Sweet Retreat*- one block to Main St. STR-080

Everything you love about BV is walkable from this completely remodeled house. Just steps from Main Street and a short walk to South Main, town square and the Arkansas River. This house is super clean, with new appliances and furniture. You're just 10 minutes from Cottonwood and Mt. Princeton Hot Springs and 20 minutes from Salida. Get to Monarch and Ski Cooper ski resorts in under an hour. This is our 2nd home and we want to share it with others who will treat it like their own. Features 3 bedrooms: 1 king bed, 1 queen bed and a bunk bed with a twin over double. The living room has a nice, new sleeper sofa. Bonus room that can be used as a small 4th bedroom, office or play area for the kids. Giant yard with fire pit.

*Because cleanliness and safety is at the top of our list, we have had to increase our cleaning fee to be compliant with Chaffee County Covid-19 cleaning procedures.

Perfect location

Our expectations were exceeded with our stay. The location was about a block away from Main Street to be able to find several dining options in the evening. Great location for all the area's activities - whitewater rafting, hiking, hot springs, fly fishing, and more. Highly recommend.

Sweet Retreat

What a lovely property! The home was clean and well stocked. Communication was great and the home was everything they promised it would be. It was only a block from Main Street and close to all the activities. It was a great place for our family to gather as we celebrated the wedding of one of our kids. Highly recommend the Sweet Retreat!

This home's location is excellent and the kitchen is well-stocked, making it a great spot whether you want to cook at the house or go out for every meal. We enjoyed the nice side yard a lot too! It's really comfortable, the owners were very responsive, and I would definitely stay there again. There are fans for every room which helped a lot during our warm week in BV, but there is only one AC split system in the main family room so the bedrooms got warm during the day and the house was hot when we checked in. If you're sensitive to heat and want AC in every room, consider that if booking a summer stay.

Beautiful, Spacious & Family-Friendly

This property was absolutely beautiful and had plenty of space for our two families, including babies and kids — we could’ve easily fit a few more people. The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to everything, including a local ice cream spot just a block away! The home was clean, check-in was smooth, and it made for a super comfortable stay.One small heads-up: the bathrooms didn’t have any soap and had very limited toiletries, so just be sure to bring your own.Overall, it was a perfect place for families and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Clean, Charming house, close to Main Street

My husband, mom, daughter, her husband and I stayed here because my other daughter’s wedding was at a venue on Main Street. The location to Main Street was perfect! The set up of the house was absolutely wonderful and accommodating, impeccably clean, nicely decorated and the furniture and beds were so comfortable! When we first booked, the house had no ac, but they recently installed a unit in the main part of the house, which without it would have been a bit warm during the day. The ac unit was just enough to keep the house comfortable during the hot July days. The linens and dishes were very nice. Plenty of parking. Nice backyard to hang out in. The owners were easy to communicate with and gave detailed check in and check out information. We all enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this house.
