The host, Grace, lives nearby. Her log home is located on a very nice lot, consisting of her home and two newly built rental apartments. Surrounding neighbors and neighborhood creates a comfortable living experience for her rental clients. Downtown shopping is easily available. The street and neighborhood residents are very friendly. Grace is a super host. We have rented her log home for fall of ‘24 and fall of ‘25. There are nearby walking trails and scenic streets. We hope to return!

Great place to stay in Buena Vista!

For four adult hikers, the house had everything we would want - plenty of space, all the amenities, a great outside deck. The house is close to the grocery store, restaurants and shopping. Grace, our host, gave us all the information we needed and was responsive to our questions. Highly recommended!

We celebrated our son’s 30th birthday at this wonderful property. Plenty of room, excellent location for outdoor activities followed by a walk to town for dinner (or ice cream!). My only regret was that we did not plan to stay longer.

Colorado is beautiful

We were quite comfortable in this home and only 10 minutes from a wedding destination. It’s within walking distance of Main Street and reasonable driving distance to horseback riding, hot springs and hiking. The host was quite responsive before and during our stay. So much to explore, so little time.

The Best Rental I've Stayed In!

This property is beautiful and the layout is great for multiple families. The location is close to down and there are many hiking trails within a few minutes drive. There were so many little extra comforts of home and the kitchen has everything we needed with plenty of extra dishware. It was a wonderful stay. I have stayed in rentals all over the U.S and Europe and this was definitely my best experience overall. I would stay her again for sure! Grace was an exceptional host and very easy to communicate with and accommodating to our needs.

Bat House

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.

BV family trip

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.

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!

Nice mountain home in great location.

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.
