About the host

Hosted by Amanda Glazier

Host profile image
We are Shane and Amanda Glazier. Shane and his family have been visiting this area of the mountains since he was born! Now, we are carrying on the tradition with our kids.

We enjoy everything from hiking, mountain biking, surfing the river, and climbing to relaxing at Mount Princeton Hot Springs, feeding the chipmunks at St. Elmo and feeding the trout at the Chalk Cliff Fish Hatchery.

We adore Buena Vista and can't wait to hear about your adventures in this quaint, unique mountain town.

Thanks so much for choosing us and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Why they chose this property

We chose this area due to the close proximity to world class hiking and mountain biking trails mere steps away from the front door. We are a short walk to the Arkansas river that boasts some of the best fly fishing in Colorado and some of the most exhilarating white water rafting in the United States! There is even a new river surfing wave called Pocket Wave that was built in the fall of '25'! It is fun to walk along the river to watch the river surfers on the various surfing waves!
Another reason why we chose this property in the heart of South Main is the convenient and charming shops and restaurants in the area. It is enjoyable to walk the shops on East Main Street and to try out the best cuisine that Buena Vista has to offer! There are also a plethora of boutiques with lots of artisan goods and many handmade creations from our talented locals. Besides the limitless outdoor activities and shops in the area, the breathtaking mountain views of Colorado's tallest peaks are reason enough for this location.

What makes this property unique

Riverside Retreat now has air conditioning to keep you comfortable throughout the duration of your stay, which most of the homes in the area do not offer.
