Wonderful home to basecamp in Chaffee County

Amaizing modest home

This property is amaizing. When you first walk in its very spacious and warm. Very nice large kitchen with all the cooking and appliances you could ask for. They even had seasonings if you didn't have your own. The living room was very comfortable and large enough for our whole party. The bedrooms were large and very comfortable bedding. Each room had a different theme which I thought was a nice touch. Overall great house. The hidden gem about this home were the two guitars. Perfectly tuned and just created alot of good conversation and laughter (cause we tried but were not good at playing) Thanks for a wonderful trip.

Beautiful home

Our family of ten stayed here and the accommodations were perfect for us. The home was very clean and decorated with such style. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was equipped with everything you needed. The hot tub was a big plus. Very comfortable patio furniture. Unfortunately, the cool weather at night and the wind prevented us from enjoying the fire pit. The hosts were wonderful and prompt in replying to our every need. The only negative we had was perhaps the location since it was on a busier road but the front patio is enclosed and gives you privacy while sitting outside. It is close to town and the hot springs. You will not find a cleaner rental or a better host.

Great long weekend in a beautiful home with all the amenities.....and only 1.5 miles to downtown BV

We were there with another couple who had not been to Buena Vista before..........celebrating their 22nd anniversary. Home was clean and very well-stocked. We took advantage of the hot tub and spent a lot of time in the garage/rec area...........when not site-seeing in Leadville, Salida, Buena Vista or the mountains. Awesome place for 6-10 people.
