Sweet lottle spot, close to everything
This place is wonderful for a getaway in the mountains. We went to Mt. Princeton and this was the perfect homebase for us. The house was clean and the bed was ultra comfy. Only thing we could complain about was the lack of privacy for the hottub. A privacy screen would be perfect. If you park your vehicle just right you can block the view passing cars. Other than that its a great place to stay for a couple of days.

Great place to stay
Family of 5, 3 skiers for Ski Monarch, easy access to hywy for 40 min commute. Grocery and liquor store are nearby for those forgotten items. Water heater went out(tripped fuse) called owner and had access to fuse box with one phone call, Fixed quick. Hot tub and a cocktail is very nice after a day of skiing !! Thank you, The Baker's

The house was Great!! It was very clean and had everything that we needed for our mom/son hiking weekend. I am a clean freak and the place was spotless. Alex was easy to communicate with and check in was seamless. Location was great and easy walk into town. We left the car in the driveway for most of the weekend. We didn't use the pool table, ping pong table or dart board but they were in a great space and would be awesome for a family with kids or people of any age. We enjoyed the hot tub and views of Mount Princeton which never gets old! We will definitely stay again because it was awesome! Thanks again, Alex!

Wonderful Trip to Buena Vista
We had a great trip! The house was super clean. White fresh bedding. Super inviting! Not cluttered at all, very minimal modern decor. Loved that there was a fenced in backyard for dogs too. My son was in love with the game room and played ping pong any chance he got. Perfectly stocked kitchen for us to cook a majority of our meals. The shower was acting up while we were there but Alex was amazing. Got in touch with me within minutes of my outreach to rectify. Incredible communication and a great host! Thank you Alex! Only thing to note - which I knew after reading other reviews. The home is about a 20 minute walk from the downtown Main Street. We did it several times. It is also backed up to the main highway, so if you have a door/window open you will get highway noise. Not bad at night. But worth noting.

Fun, convenient place in Buena Vista
It was a great place for our family of 5! Close enough and convenient to town while still getting to enjoy the view of Mt. Princeton. We enjoyed the ping pong table, billiards, and darts during our down time. I hadn’t realized there was not air conditioning however the temps cooled off at night so that was helpful as well as the one window fan provided. The hot tub located in the front yard provided an amazing view of the mountains. We appreciated the fully equipped kitchen of spices, oil, and coffee. The beds were comfortable and gave us great sleep during our time there. We loved this home overall and our only suggestions would be 2 additional bedroom window fans, window screens in living area, towels for the hot tub, and having the clean dishes in dishwasher put up from prior guests. Thanks for providing a great place for our family!

We had a wonderful stay. The house had everything we needed and the most fabulous views. While the back of the house sits right on a major highway, it had a nice privacy fence. We hardly noticed the traffic noise. We would definitely stay here again!

Good spot
Backs up on to 24 which is unfortunate as far as road noise goes, but the location itself is pretty ideal if you are looking to bang around BV itself. Lot of good hiking/fishing within a half hour from the house, as is downtown Salida. Home was well furnished and the Internet connection was reliable.

This was the perfect house for us to spend Christmas in. The location to downtown Buena Vista, as well as the surrounding areas could not have been more perfect and convenient. The views were stunning. The hot tub was an amazing addition to the home, and we loved that it was open and modern.

The property location was amazing. Great views of the mountains and easy walking/biking to downtown and trails. Alex was easy to get ahold of and responded promptly. I would definitely stay here again. It is on the smaller side but fit our group of four just fine. The only recommendation I have is, there was not enough extra blankets.

Disappointed
Disclaimer: we did not stay at this property due to a medical emergency. They reason for the poor review is the lack of understanding and compassion on behalf of the property. I am completely aware of and understand the cancelation policy. However we did not cancel the stay because we just chose not to go on vacation or to stay somewhere else. I communicated as soon as possible with the property when we knew we would not be staying because our son was having emergency surgery. The communication I received was that the policy didn’t allow for any leniency and while I understand policies, I was disappointed to know there was no compassion or understanding. Sometimes having empathy can go a long way.

This guest advised me the day of check in that they could not make the reservation. Then they never actually cancelled the reservation, there is nothing that can be done on my end if the reservation isn’t cancelled.

We had a really lovely time in Buena Vista. Alex’s home is very comfortable and quite. It’s really close to Main St and tons of hiking trails too. We loved being able to cook most nights and ride our bikes around town. We also enjoyed having a soak in the hot tub after long days of hiking. Thanks for being such a wonderful host, Alex. We really appreciated all of kind gestures and your quick responses. You have an awesome mnt house!

Awesome house in one of our favorite areas in the mountains
Great views of Mr. Princeton. Fun game room. Super comfortable beds. Nice, modern kitchen. Hot tub is a nice plus! Only thing that is weird is that you are expected to figure out how to get rid of your own garbage and apparently the dump is 15 min away so super inconvenient especially if you already had a tightly packed car/ have to leave early/ choose to leave early to climb... other than that though we loved the place and would stay again.

In town for a wedding
My family and I were in town for a wedding. This home was in a great location and very nicely equipped. The beds were comfortable and the game room was a lot of fun. The only thing negative to say about this place was my son went to use the air mattress that was provide, however there wasn't an air pump for the air mattress the only thing that was in the closet was an air pump for tires so he had to make due the two nights on the couch. We would stay at this location again if we were in the area.

My dog & I enjoyed our stay. I enjoyed the large flat screen TV, WiFi, & the hot tub (especially after a grueling hike) & the proximity to town. My dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard - so she could lay out in the sunshine, and the trail right across the street. The house had everything needed for a nice vacation. The fenced in back yard
