This house was perfect for us (four adults) during our weekend getaway to Buena Vista. It was very convenient to get to places we wanted to eat at and our wives to check out the local shops. It was also a short drive to the Hot Springs.Jonathan was awesome with communicating with us in preparing for our stay as well as during our stay if we needed anything to help us feel more comfortable!Thank you for hosting us in your place!
