We had a wonderful stay at this quaint VRBO in Buena Vista! The home was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire process easy from start to finish. The location was perfect—close to great restaurants, shopping, and all that Buena Vista has to offer, while still feeling peaceful. It was also very easy to find and access. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Host was good to work with, although there were some issues regarding the booking and response times when we were offered an extra night at a discounted rate that did not work out due to the wrong dates being offered. Aside from that, no complaints.

The room was excellently clean and very cozy and comfortable. It is perfect for 1-2 people. Four people (2 in the bedroom and 2 on the pull-out sofa) would be crowded. Communication with the property manager was outstanding. While there was ongoing adjacent construction, I wasn't inconvenienced at all with construction noise or traffic, and I was there for 2 weekdays and the weekend. The location is wonderful, Proximity to downtown, the river, and trails was so convenient. Mountain biking is ride-in/ride-out from the room. A slight irritation was that, even though the listing markets to (among others) mountain bikers, there was nowhere to store bikes, bike gear, or wash my bike. It turned out that there was no significant weather (i.e., my bike did not get muddy), so I worked it out. But, since it was advertised to bikers, courtesy bike storage would have been appropriate. Other than that, I was very happy here. I travel quite a bit, and this was a beautiful and excellent room.

This BV gem is in a great location. Away from the busy streets but close enough to walk or bike to it all. The apartment is ideal for a couple or traveling with the kiddos. The stairs might be an issue with toddlers but nothing a little ingenuity can’t fix. Our stay was during the summer and the A/C was a delight to walk into. Im confident the winters hold up as well. Everything in the apartment was new and worked well. Is not cramped and plenty of room for our things. This is a “book again” property 🔥
