We enjoyed the property, well equipped and great location. However almost every other house in the area had a porch. Buena Vista in summer is a place to spend as much time as possible outdoors. There was no front porch in the pictures and because of that, we assumed there would probably be one on the back of the house. Sorry.
That was our only disappointment.

Cute townhouse, close to town and river. Just as listed!

This was a great place to stay for our family wedding! The proximity to the Surf Hotel and the little town was perfect!

It was so nice to be here again. Shane and Amanda are great hosts, and willing to jump in and help with even the oddest requests (eg., how to solve for an Amazon delivery that got caught up at the local post office). We've stayed here before, and we'll stay here again. Awesome property!

We love South Main BV, and this property delivered another memorable family vacation. Will definitely stay here again if available.

This was a terrific place to stay. It was incredibly clean. The only suggested adjustment...it's pretty normal to not have AC at the higher elevations in CO. But if you're not going to have AC, please at least place screens on the windows so that at night the cool air can circulate through the house without bugs. Some nights it was a bit like camping given the bugs. Honestly, though, that is the only non positive comment, as the home was so clean, new, beautiful, well-stocked, everything worked, and it was incredibly convenient. We would stay here again, and we likely will. We'll be a lot happier with window screens! Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay in BV! The location was super walkable and we enjoyed doing the river loop hike and fly fishing on the river. The townhouse had everything we needed and we very much appreciated the game closet!

The unit was very nice, clean, no issues with anything and extremely well located! We would recommend as a choice to anyone traveling to the area.

Our stay was excellent! Perfect for families traveling with young kids as theirs a high chair, pack and play and toys. Location is fantastic as were the beds and touches in the bathroom. Very clean!! Overall 5 stars, however it is in fact not 3 bedrooms as listed. This was in part our fault as we filtered listings by 3 bedrooms (the house shows up as it is listed this way) and did not look at the pictures close enough. The “third bedroom” is actually a pull out in the living room. So for accuracy’s sake it has two bedrooms, four beds. This was unfortunate for us since two family members had to end up staying somewhere else since they needed an actual bedroom. The stay was so wonderful and because it was partly an overlook on our ends, we still give it 5 stars! Will not work for people needing 3 bedrooms, but does work if all you need is an extra bed.

This home has everything you could ever need. My teenagers played chess and checkers, my husband went fly fishing and we were right next door to a great food at the Eddy line brewery. We walked to the surf hotel and listen to live music as well as walked down East Main to the shops and restaurants. We loved our time there and I would highly recommend this beautiful place.

Great stay at this South Main property. Clean, quiet, and comfortable place next to the Arkansas river, dining options, and great access to Colorado's playground.

We stayed at the Riverhouse Retreat for a quick getaway weekend. The house is beautifully and well appointed. Our family was super comfortable and it was so helpful that the unit was child friendly and had a high chair, baby gate etc. It was super easy to walk to everything BV has to offer. We will definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at Amanda’s place! The home was so clean, spacious, and had all of the kitchen supplies we could ever want. It’s walkabale to Main St and a great spot to explore. Had an awesome time and would definitely recommend!

This house was a great home base for our recent winter holiday trip. Skiing at Monarch in the morning, soaking in several different hot springs in the afternoon, then great food and drinks in the evening. The house is well-built and laid out conveniently for a family with children. The adults can hang out late downstairs without any risk of waking the kids. And it even came stocked with tons of games and toys! The hosts answered our few questions promptly. The kitchen is well stocked with quality items. We’ll be booking again in the summer to explore the area more.

Everything was great and the location was perfect. Our family really enjoyed staying here!
