Very clean rooms, location was great, having the airport trail nearby was perfect, backyard fence was secure for our pups which is a huge plus for us, and the hot tub was just a big cherry on top.

Everything was so clean and wonderful. My friend and I came on a girls trip without our kids for the weekend… so the hot tub, easy walking path across the street, and close distance to everything was really nice for a short stay! Would definitely come back!

Buena Vista Basecamp

This was our second time staying here, most likely won't be our last. The location of this home is perfect for exploring Buena Vista and surrounding areas. We love that pets are allowed. The beds are insanely comfortable and after a long day at the hot springs a comfy bed is much appreciated. We are definitely going to stay here again.

Great for medium sized groups and pet friendly

Property has 3 queen beds in the bedrooms and a large sectional couch. Good sized backyard for your dog and one of the best views in Buena Vista. It's right off the highway, but you could barely hear traffic unless you have the windows open.Property is clean and well stocked with a breeze of a check in process and friendly owners.

Great stay in Buena Vista

We had two fantastic nights in The Rapid Ranch House after a week of camping up at Twin Lakes. The house was great! Everything was clean and well maintained. Each teenager had their own room, which was huge plus. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and pingpong. Highly recommend this house.

Wonderful house with great views

We had a wonderful stay. The house had everything we needed and the most fabulous views. While the back of the house sits right on a major highway, it had a nice privacy fence. We hardly noticed the traffic noise. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Alex Murray

Hi, my name is Alex. I purchased this home in Buena Vista due to my love for the outdoors and quiet mountain towns.

Why they chose this property

We have beautiful views of Mt.Princeton from the front of the house. The home is in a quiet neighborhood while still being close to Main Street.

What makes this property unique

Our home is special due to our 6 person hot tub, game room, large family room and dining table, fenced in back yard, fenced in dog walking path across the streeet, scenic mountain views, and close proximity to town.
