About this house rental
Quaint, well-furnished home on cue-de-sac street with all the amenities needed for a fun and easy getaway. Three bedroom, two living areas, full & furnished kitchen, three outside sitting areas and full-size yard with fire pit for use when fire danger LOW.
From every direction you are surrounded by the mountains on a quiet street with a stream that runs behind the house seasonally. Just a short walk from downtown with plenty to do from walking, dining, rafting, hiking, coffee, shopping among other activities. Three ski resorts within an hour away.
This cabin was originally put together in the northwest and then moved to Buena Vista, CO as a model home. Later, this owner purchased it and moved it again to here in town and has spent the last five years making into a modern-day retreat. After extensive updating, the home is now ready for your stay.
Note: due to dry weather and that this is a log home, there is NO SMOKING in or one the property at any time by anyone in your party. This is for your safety and that of your guests.

This house is close to town and has many amenities. It also has a large bat colony living INSIDE the ceiling and walls of the house. The host notified us the day of checkin that there was a bat colony at the property but did not tell us it was inside the house. We woke up the first night to bats swooping around and landing on the bed. Everyday for four days the host had to come remove bats from inside the bedroom, living room and bathroom. The walls upstairs are stained with bat urine and feces seeping through from the bat nest. We had to clean up bat feces daily from the bathroom and main living area floors. We notified the host of two guests with high risk health conditions and she offered to help finding a new place or compensation for the mess. The worst part was the host gaslighting us about the bat issue. Talk about a health risk.
In addition to the bats, the house needs better cleaning and maintenance. There was a major issue with the floor in the kitchen, causing tripping. I insisted the host remove the damaged floor so our guest who was recovering from spine surgery would not have an accident. The ice maker is broken, the washing machine is moldy, 3 of the 5 beds were only partially made, and many light bulbs were burnt out. Host was made aware of all issues in a timely manner and indicated to us that these issues have been outstanding for a month or more.
If you’re looking for a clean, sanitary home, this is not it.

Need to fix a few items before the next renter arrives.
Overall good stay / nice house.
Kitchen floor is a known trip hazard. This would have been a huge issue if my MIL joined us. Must fix ASAP. Also need to fix the ice maker and a handle on the upstairs shower.
A couple of beds were not made upon our arrival. Several dead and alive bugs / spiders. Coffee pot not clean. Fix known repairs and a better clean, then 5 stars.

Great property in ideal location in Buena Vista. Exactly as shown and we had a wonderful stay. The host was friendly and attentive.

Excellent. We loved this charming, homie, well maintained log cabin (house). Just the right amount of space for six people. We had all we needed to make meals in house. Beds/pillows very comfortable. Our hostess, Grace, was very accomodating. The only drawback was that is was .8 of a mile from mainstreet so we had to hop in the car each time the teens wanted to shop or just hang out downtown, but that would never deter us from renting it again. Very pleased!

This cabin was everything it appeared to be online. It was well appointed with kitchen appliances and even some condiments we appreciated. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet.

This property is in a quiet neighborhood very close to downtown activities and on the way to most mountain adventures. This proper to worked well for a multi generational family with a comfortable common area. In our stay we saw a large buck in the driveway, a fox loping down the street and a large rabbit. The songbirds provided a nice background. The property owner was available and responsive.

Great place

Wow!! What can I say?? This is the most wonderful retreat during all the wedding festivities who wanted a quiet retreat during the wedding weekend.
The house was so perfectly supplied with everything you need for cooking, relaxing and being with family. This is NOT a party house and as parents of the groom, this is perfect for us.
Take the time to sit on the deck near the brook that runs behind the property- better than any technique for calmness. I recorded it. Watch the wind through the Aspen leaves, it’s magical and I filmed that too. Take a walk around the neighborhood and see the beauty.
During a hectic extended wedding weekend, this was perfect!!

This was a great place to stay! The house is located on a newer street with nice new houses. This house was clean, property well maintained. Has a cozy log cabin feel with all the amenities you need. It was perfect for our party of three, but this would comfortably fit a party of 6. The owner was great to communicate with for questions and instructions. I would recommend to others and would stay here again.

This beautiful cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood with mountains on 3 sides.
Beds are super comfortable, kitchen is well equipped, and the open concept kitchen/den was perfect for our family gatherings.
The host, Grace was friendly and helpful.
NOTE: the online pictures do NOT give justice to this amazing home. In real time the cabin is much more roomy and sunny.
Book this home! You won’t regret it.

Grace has a wonderful and welcoming home! We had such a great and restful time there. Thank you for all you do to make it special. The views and walks are amazing. The little details to the cabin make it so complete. The beds are so comfy. We slept so well! We will definitely have to come back one day!

Great stay, Our host, Grace, was very responsive to all our questions. The neighborhood was beautiful, quiet and exactly what we were looking for. The house even more gorgeous. Buena Vista is a beautiful location and our home base at this rental was perfect for our family. Equipped with everything we needed and more. Beds were comfortable, tv and wifi were perfect for our needs. Even extra games stocked for a perfect family night. Would recommend this rental and we hope to return to this rental next year. Also, the location is close to restaurants, fishing, hiking, and kayaking. Would recommend to any family that wants to see more of Colorado.

I had an incredible stay at this property, where the host, Grace, made the experience truly exceptional. Her warm hospitality and attentive care added a personal touch that made me feel right at home. The home itself was cozy and tastefully decorated. We were only a few minutes drive from main street where you can find great food and lots of shops. Overall, this stay exceeded all expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable and welcoming retreat.
4.8
We really enjoyed our stay here at Grace’s cabin. The cabin is exactly as listed. It is a reasonable walk or short drive to anything in town. The house is equipped with everything you need for cooking, laundry, and just relaxing whether you’re inside in the comfortable living room, or outside on the wraparound porch. We would definitely stay here again!

We have been coming to Buena Vista for many years and this cabin is our new favorite. We had the best most relaxed time staying here. Great location, tons of room, and everything provided that you could need. Communication with the owner was great and friendly. My kids were upset we had to leave. We will be back for sure.
4.8
The house was perfect for our needs. Having 3 beds for the children as well as 2 bedrooms for adults worked well. The kitchen was well appointed with everything one would need to fix meals.
4.8
Not only is this home beautiful and very well maintained with a great deal of care, our hostess Grace was right next door! She recommended restaurants and shopping in Buena Vista which was very helpful. She was even so thoughtful to bring over a swing and toys for our 15 month old granddaughter to enjoy! Very highly recommend this lovely home and hostess!

We had family visiting from out of state and we wanted to show them BV. This home was perfect for us! Plenty of space, all the amenities we needed and close enough to town without dealing with the noise and commotion of downtown. We would stay here again!

This is the only review I've ever written where the owner of the property had such a great impact on the review. Grace was helpful and available during our whole time and even offered to let us check out later so we could check out the 4th of July festivities in Buena Vista. If you're looking for a getaway in a quiet area that is walkable to downtown Buena Vista and also close to hiking, adventure sports and other great parts of the BV area, this is a perfect choice. The pictures also don't do this house justice - it was one of those times where you felt you were getting even more than what was advertised. This house is perfect for families and I could see ourselves returning to stay here again when our family grows!

This well appointed cabin was a great layout for our family of 2 adults and 2 teens. It was well stocked with pots/pans/utensils and had all the amenities we needed. It was also an easy 10-15 minute walk to Main Street and a good central location for all the excursions my family did. Grace is a wonderful host and gave us some helpful recommendations for food/stores. We enjoyed seeing the deer in the yard everyday, and we hope to return one day to this beautiful property. Thank you, Grace!

This beautiful home was a perfect place to stay for a family wedding at The Barn at Sunset Ranch. With 4 adult family members, we had plenty of room and enjoyed the space indoors and out. The house would have easily accommodated at least 2 more people.
Grace was a fantastic host. The house had everything we needed and exceeded our expectations.
4.8
Our family was in town to attend a family event. The cabin was lovely - clean, artfully decorated and well equipped. It accommodated five adults comfortably. The second floor study provides views of both the collegiate range in one direction and the foothills in the other. The cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood and yet is conveniently within walking distance of downtown. The owner lives in the house next door and was on hand in case of any needs. She was great to work with. We will definitely stay here again when back in BV.

Beautiful cabin in great location, close to down town area and hiking trails.

Grace's cabin is beautiful. We had everything we need for a long weekend including great amenities in the kitchen. We enjoyed the large deck with the really nice glider/chairs. Grace was available for any questions. We all loved it and highly recommend staying there.

Beautifully appointed and furnished. Impressive attention to detail and guest needs. Quite neighborhood. Great kitchen (with every item a chef would want), living room, bedrooms, bathrooms and decks. Great grill. Can't say enough about how much our family enjoyed it. The host was very responsive and helpful. Our family was in town for a wedding.

This is a lovely log cabin located about a mile from downtown. There is a nearby biking/walking path and it is a pleasant residential area. Four adults stayed here with comfort and all needs addressed. The house has everything from plenty of towels to basic cooking items. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and in the town of BV

We enjoyed the stay and house was very nice

Top down this is the best place to stay in BV. The house was even better than described. Our host thought of everything. You could cook a gourmet meal if you needed to, the kitchen had everything. The beds are Tempur-Pedic and could not have been more comfortable. We had many relatives over to visit and they could not believe how great this place was. We will definitely book this again!
