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

Rafting season (otherwise known as summer) has begun in Buena Vista! 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.

Came to celebrate my best friends birthday here. Really wish that we were able to stay for the whole week instead of one night. This place definitely set the tone for the trip and had an amazing ambiance. Will definitely be coming back and bring more friends and fam!!! The host was also so communicative and accommodating.

Love Buena Vista

We live in Colorado Springs, and we love to travel to Buena Vista for a few days to get away.This is actually our second time renting this property. My husband and I stayed by yourselves the first time and found the house perfect for our needs. Everything was just as stated in the listing and pictures. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners are very accommodating and easy to work with.We thought at the time the house would work well to bring our family to. So we did, and everything was just what we needed for our family to relax and enjoy Buena Vista!We all agreed we would definitely look forward to another stay!

Rafting and enjoying BV

We joined other Arkansas friends to paddle the Arkansas River. This place was an excellent location to town and several bike paths close by. The garage made for a great place to store our gear. The backyard gave us extra space to hangout and watch the mountains and double rainbows from afternoon showers.

Buena Vista - Great Stay

Nice rental in a great location close to shopping and dining. House was clean and as described. Comfortable beds and furniture. Nicely stocked with essentials (paper products, soap, shampoo, dish soap and laundry soap) and unexpected things such as coffee and cooking spices. Communication with the owner was very good and easy. I recommend this rental if you will be visiting the Buena Vista area.

great area

The VRBO was very nice. The King bed on the lower level was a little high for my older mother, a step stool or some kind of wide stool would be helpful for shorter people. the Back sliding door was unlocked and we were not able to latch it so it was open while we were there and while we were out. A stick or something to secure it would be helpful. It was a great location and BV is an awesome place. Our VRBO owner was wonderful and very kind.

Great Stay

We traveled with our teenaged son and his friends who hiked Mt Harvard. We enjoyed walking from the house to the river and South Main. Great location for walking distance to the river. The house was well appointed and we loved that the primary bedroom was on the main floor and other bedrooms upstairs for the kids. The house is super clean and Janna the Host is responsive and very helpful. We would like to come back
