Practically Home in Buena Vista: Near Town, Hikes, River—Sunset Deck: STR-239

The weather is changing and leaf peeping season is here. If you want to be close to the action in Buena Vista but far enough away to be peaceful, this is the property for you. We just completed some great renovations and now have a spacious 2nd floor deck that can be accessed from the upstairs king bedroom or the backyard. Relax indoors with the TV and high speed Wifi or challenge your group to board game battles. Drink your coffee or wine in the fully fenced back yard with glimpses of the mountains or enjoy some of the yard games we provide. It’s also easy to take the kids to play in the public park only a block away. 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, both Monarch Mountain and Ski Cooper are less than an hour away. The kitchen is well-equipped for those times when you feel like making a meal, or you can walk a mile or drive five minutes to any of our delicious local restaurants. At the end of the day you can always be sure that the beds are cozy and the showers are hot.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Home had all of the amenities you need for overnight stays. The mountain views off the back deck were amazing. House is a great location if you are looking to visit Mt Princeton Hot Springs during your stay. Downtown BV was a short (few minutes) drive as well.

Incredible stay. Deck views are 10/10. Thoughtful touches throughout, especially for families: kids books, outlet covers, cozy blankets, and a well-stocked kitchen. Quiet, great location near downtown and the river. Garage parking and responsive hosts. One of our favorite family stays.

This home was just right for a long weekend getaway for two families- including 4 teen boys. The kitchen was well supplied and organized, the beds were comfortable and the bedrooms included room darkening shades. Everything was very clean and the size was just right for us- cozy, but big enough to serve as a home base for BV adventures! The boys enjoyed the board games and played an epic round of monopoly. The hosts were excellent communicators and clearly very thoughtful people. We also appreciated the bag of coffee they left us! Thank you Janna!The only thing that wasn’t clear to me on the listing is that the room with two twin beds (a trundle) is actually a loft space- so no doors/privacy. That was ok for us this time, but could have been an issue in other circumstances.The yard /neighborhood is not the cutest, but it was very quiet, there are string lights and a sweet mural out back, and a gorgeous view of Mt. Princeton from the deck. It was a quick and pleasant walk or bike ride along a creek, across a quiet road and then along a bike path to town. The boys all brought bikes and enjoyed spending time at the pump track and fishing in the Arkansas. We appreciated that they could access those things (as well as a both fly and bike shops) safely on their own. We would definitely recommend this house, and would stay here again.

Perfect house for a getaway in Buena Vista

We enjoyed our stay in Buena Vista so much we added an extra night! The house quirky, but takes advantage of the location with a balcony where you can see the mountains as you drinking your morning coffee or stargaze at night. Beds are comfortable, everything is well-labeled and the house is well-decorated. It is a short drive to town and to 3 or 4 fun hiking trails. BV has some fun restaurants. Louie's ice cream is amazing! The owner was quick to respond to questions. We hope to come back soon.

Perfect Getaway

Beautiful home and location. Nicely equipped with kitchen items and laundry. Extras- towels for the hot springs, games, and backyard. We were a short drive to a variety of places that the whole family enjoyed. Great biking trails for the whole family. We couldn’t ask for a better place!

vacation stay

overall a very relaxing stay. House was clean, location good The only thing we would put forward is that the weather was fantastic and would have liked to spend more time in backyard, but the aesthetics were lacking---not a very pretty back yard with no trees or much vegetation and did not look like a lot of work went into it

This home is beautiful, clean, and well-located! Walking distance from hiking trails and many restaurants. We went to main street & downtown BV with no problem. Our 2 grown sons stayed upstairs with their own rooms. Hubby & I downstairs. Beds were comfortable, everything was very clean. Great to sit outside - back patio has Mountain views. Also a fire pit to sit & visit around. 100% would stay here again!!

Comfortable home in a convenient location

The home was comfortable with enough space for four adults to each have their space. The garage was perfect for sorting wedding supplies for our daughter’s wedding. Location was central, close to town and to all of the families who rented different homes in the area. Worked out well for our needs! Thanks Janna!
