About this property

The Red Farmhouse at South Main welcomes you! Steps away from the River Trails!!

Located on a peaceful street, The Red Farmhouse is the best of both worlds. A perfect combination of solitude and walking access to all the amenities South Main has to offer. Two minutes after stepping out your door you could be walking by the river, riding a cruiser bike around downtown Buena Vista, mountain biking the extensive Midland Bike Trail system, fly fishing, rock climbing, white water rafting , kayaking or enjoying an IPA at the Eddyline Restaurant and Brewery. Two awesome live music venues are with in walking distance from “The Red Farmhouse”. One is just steps away at The Surf Hotel which is also the premier wedding venue of the area. Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort is a short drive away as is the ghost town of St. Elmo. Cottonwood Pass offers endless recreational possibilities in winter and summer and is now paved all the way to Crested Butte!

Amazing views from the spacious Master Bedroom which is the entire top floor of the house with en-suite bathroom and deep soaking bathtub. A small desk, a reading armchair with a view and a large smart TV with cable make this master bedroom a real “retreat”. The top floor master bedroom is now equipped with a 14,000 BTU portable air conditioner. An abundance of floor to ceiling windows and an open floor plan make kitchen and living area very comfortable for a group or family. Afternoon sunshine and spectacular Buena Vista sunsets from the huge front porch are a peaceful way to end an active day on the trails or river. Two spacious and bright lower lever bedrooms share a large bathroom with tub and each room has its own smart TV.
One pet under 30 pounds and over 2 years of age may be considered. Hypoallergenic breeds preferred for the comfort of all of our guests.
Please reach out with your pets details prior to booking.

4 of us rented the Red Farmhouse for a BV escape. Loved the house which was very clean, cozy and bright and very well equipped. Close to the river and hiking and a short walk to town. The hosts responded quickly to all questions and were very friendly to work with. Would definitely stay here again

The property is exactly as presented on the VRBO site. Great location to walk to dinner. Great location to drive for some nice hikes. There is no air conditioning, but we were gone during the day and the breeze kept us cool at night

The “Little Red House” fit our needs perfectly! We (grandparents) stayed upstairs, and our adult children and their children stayed in the 2 downstairs bedrooms. If you come in the summer the master suite has air conditioning. The main level and downstairs have constant cool breezes. Because we had 2 other adult children couples joining us on the vacation we had to stay in 2 places, but the best part of “The Little Red House” was a wonderful, breezy front porch where we visited every evening. Great memory maker!

Outstanding

We had a great time due, in large part, to the house and the location. Great hosts, clean house, very welcoming, and the best view in the valley. This will be the first place we try to book whenever we get to return. Plenty of space to hang out, cook, sleep 6, and close to everything BV offers. Beautiful house inside and out.

Red Farmhouse: Cure for the COVID Blues!

Stayed at the Red Farmhouse for six weeks with a couple of friends. What a fantastic experience! The property is perfectly located within easy walking distance of the Arkansas River, shops, restaurants, etc. We mostly cooked at home and found the kitchen comfortable and well-equipped. The dining room, inviting front porch, and side patio with grill and uninterrupted views of Mt. Princeton all saw their share of great meals. Bedrooms were comfortable, living room cozy, and property clean and well ordered. Buena Vista is a lovely town and a great place to get away from the craziness of COVID city life. Erin and Jim were fantastic hosts -- friendly, good communicators, and VERY responsive whenever a need arose. Place is probably not best for infants or people with mobility difficulties (stairs). Otherwise, do yourself a favor and get some Red Farmhouse in your life ASAP.

Wonderful farmhouse

Stayed in the red farmhouse in Buena Vista. House was clean well equipped and owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Loved the decor also. We were even welcomed with two bottles of wine waiting for us. House would work well for a family or couples even. Can’t wait to go back

Great location with many perks

Typically most Vrbo’ have limited essentials, but so much was offered to keep our minds at ease - plenty of trash bags, kitchen detergent, spices, toiletries, etc. that the entire trip was a wonderful experience to the extent that we had more options to consider eating in too. After a day of outdoor adventure the red house was a great place to come back to & chill. And, the beds were all very comfortable as well.

Great Choice!

This was a great choice for our stay in BV! The hosts, Jim and Erin were great, they shared details about the house pre-visit, and were available during out stay. The house is well stocked, the layout worked well for us--master is on the top floor, living/dining/kitchen is on the first floor, and two bedrooms in the basement. It's an easy walk for coffee (The Midland Stop)--if you get there early the pastries are still warm), a wonderful bicycle shop is next door (Black Burro Bikes)--they have rentals, a walk/ride along the Arkansas River is next to the bike shop, a great restaurant--the Eddyline, a delightful art studio--Rock Run Gallery (over 40 artists), late evening small plates at the Surf Hotel, and much more close by! The house is located in a lovely neighborhood--there was some new construction down the street; but, they were good about noise only during certain hours--didn't bother us. The house feels almost private, there aren't any homes on one side (that may change in the future). We definitely hope to be back!
