About this property

Buena Vista Home Base—Easy access to downtown, trails, river and 14ers : STR-240

The trees are starting to turn! Bring your family and your toys to this spacious home which is a perfect place to start your adventures in Buena Vista. We have TV and high speed WiFi when you want to relax as well as board games and cards. You can drink your coffee or wine in the fully fenced back yard or take the kids to play in the public park only a block away. Your mountain bikes, fishing gear or skis will be safe in our garage. Hiking, rafting, mountain biking, rock climbing and fly fishing are close in the summer. In the winter, you’re less than a hour away from both Monarch Mountain and Ski Cooper. The kitchen is well-equipped if you feel like making a meal, or you can walk a mile or drive five minutes to any of our delicious local restaurants on Main Street or South Main. At the end of the day, you can always be sure that the beds are cozy and the showers are hot.

We didn't know this was a duplex until we arrived but it worked well for our family of 7. The neighborhood was quiet and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we return to the area.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay! One of my favorite things is how walkable our property is. I hate having to find a parking place in town, but I love walking to Main Street or South Main for happy hour or dinner. We also love to walk to the river and do some of the trails up into the Midland Hills.
