Escape to an Extraordinary Log Home, amazing views, hot tub, secluded, tranquil

The Inn Between is an exceptional custom built handcrafted log home on 5 private acres surrounded by the Collegiate Peaks; just a few minutes from the town of Buena Vista in the nationally renowned Arkansas River Valley of Colorado.

As you enter the cabin you are greeted with the views of Mt. Princeton through the floor to ceiling windows. Massive logs support the towering two-story living area. The main floor is roomy with a well equipped kitchen, dining room, great room, two bedrooms and full bathroom. The second floor master suite has its own deck, full bath with 2 person shower, and a deep soaking tub with great window views. The ground floor has an extra family room, bedroom and full bathroom. The upstairs loft has a full size washer and dryer. All bedrooms have a queen bed and the downstairs bedroom also has a bunkbed.

All rooms have incredible views and furnishings are high quality western living styles. The deck provides a gathering area after a long day of hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking, rafting, fishing, or climbing 14,000 foot mountains. The great room has a 55” smart TV and the family room has a 65" smart TV. There is cable TV, blue ray, and Xbox. Hi Speed 500 Mbps Wifi internet is provided for free.

The ground floor has a full bath with walk-in shower, theater room with 7.2 surround system, and 4th bedroom with one queen bed and a twin bunk bed. It comes with heated floors, 9 foot ceilings, and numerous windows looking south to Mount Princeton and the foothills of Mt. Yale.

The Inn Between sits on 5 acres at the base of Mount Yale. This unique location is close to town, yet in a secluded setting. At night, from the comfort of your own hot tub, the Milky Way stretches across the heavens, and if you are lucky, there will be shooting stars “raining fire in the sky”. There is a 1/2 mile nature trail surrounding the property that winds through the numerous Pinion and Ponderosa pine trees. Mule Deer and Elk may wander thru during your visit.

Buena Vista is the center of Arkansas River activities in the valley but also offers hours of entertainment and local interest. Shopping, dining, golf, river walks, and an engineered kayak park will keep you entertained. Try your luck at the River Park Frisbee golf course and technical climbing rocks. Adjacent to the cabin is the entrance to the Cottonwood Pass road, while the Colorado Trail passes within a mile of home.

Visitors can enjoy short drives to historic Leadville to the north and 'artsy' Salida to the south. Summer activities include hiking & biking the fourteeners, high alpine meadows and cascading rivers, whitewater rafting, fishing the Arkansas or in the high mountain lakes with plenty of spaces to explore. During summer months, the town of Aspen makes a wonderful day trip where the trip itself over Independence Pass is part of the attraction. Winter visitors bring your snowshoes, skis, and sleds for the kids! Ski areas such as Monarch and Ski Cooper are less than 1 hour away, and Breckenridge, Vail and Summit County are about 1.5 hours away. Salida offers live theater at the Steamplant and lots of unique art galleries.

It is hard to beat this wonderful place to get away and enjoy the peace of the mountains and gaze at the stars after a great day outdoors. Sit on the deck and read in the sun, or soothe your muscles in the hot tub at the end of an adventurous day.

For security there are outdoor cameras at the front door and garage.

Buena Vista is truly a great place to visit at the base of the Collegiate Peaks Range whether it is summer or winter or Inn Between!

Wonderful stay. Great for our family as we skied at Monarch, 45min away. Love deck & hot tub.

Everything was five star. Would be nice to have a real door for master bedroom for privacy and a fireplace indoor and/or outdoor fire pit. Thanks for the fun stay.

Another great visit!

This was our second time staying in this wonderful home!! Sitting on the patio(or in the hot tub) looking at the beautiful view of Mt. Princeton can’t be beat! The home is very comfortable and well equipped. Communication with owners was great too. We had easy access to town and different hiking trails. The half mile trail at the home is also well worth walking too. We will definitely stay again when we visit Buena Vista.

Just what we needed!

When planning a trip to Colorado we wanted views, relaxation, and a place for the entire family to enjoy. This place checks all the boxes. The walking path around the property was great for the kids to explore. The hot tub was a great place to unwind after a day off hiking, skiing, or horse back riding. The house itself felt like a home away from home. They have really thought of everything. Can't wait to go back!

Most awesome Log Home with Spectacular Views

This custom Log Home was even better live. Pictures are great online, but being there and seeing gorgeous views out every window was great. We enjoyed the hot tub with equally spectacular views and games in lower level. Also nice that home sits on acreage so you have true privacy, peace and quiet. We will for sure come back. Thank you Maureen, a great host.

Our family of 6 adults and two children ( 11 and 13) stayed in this lovely cabin for 6 nights. We all were sad to leave. Everything was perfect!! The cabin was gorgeous! Every room had a great view. Kitchen was well stocked. The hot tub was great after a day of hiking. The kids, and adults had fun playing shuffle board and football too. Location was fantastic! Only 5-10 minutes from town and the view of Mt. Princeton was the icing on the cake!

What a View!

This place is amazing. Everything is as advertised. The owner is super responsive and everything was great! The hot tub is large enough for 4-5 people and works great. The game room was another perk with shuffleboard and the TV setup with surround sound. Everything worked! There were even amenities left behind from other visitors that came in handy (i.e. coffee, zip loc bags, hot sauce, etc.) My wife and I stayed here with our 2 kids, 2 uncles and 2 grandparents. There was PLENTY of room for everyone with room to spare. There are 2 futons upstairs in the loft if needed. Buena Vista is a cute mountain town just 3-4 minutes away and had enough places to get a good meal. Would definitely stay again!

What a great place to celebrate my 75th birthday.

It really was a great place to have a wonderful family vacation to celebrate my 75th birthday. We enjoyed every day and loved all the conveniences at hand. Everyone enjoyed the game room and comfortable living room area and especially enjoyed the cool morning and evenings sitting out on the deck. Having such a beautiful cabin and wonderful views of the mountains was a real plus to our stay. The only thing I could recommend that would improve the cabin is finding someway to be able to dust the tops of the log rafters and the big vase on the 2nd floor. As a side note, I so appreciate you mailing my phone charger to me after I foolishly left it in the master bedroom. It came in the mail today. Again thank you.
