Relaxing retreat near the creek, town, and all outdoor activities.

The Blue House is approximately 4 minutes from downtown Buena Vista and has easy access to Cottonwood Pass, both Mt. Princeton and Cottonwood Hot Springs, local Drive-In movie theater, hiking trails, rafting, horseback riding, fishing and many other outdoor adventures to be found in Buena Vista. The property is near Cottonwood Creek and the sounds of the creek can be heard from the back yard (we do not have direct access to the creek). It is not unusual to see wildlife, primarily deer, down by the creek and in surrounding areas. Expansive views of the beautiful Sawatch mountain range, framed by 14,000 foot Mt. Princeton are highlighted from the property. Additonally, the property has a large driveway with ample space for parking (and a lot of space for easy turn around for larger vehicles or trailers).

This Blue House is a wonderful fit for a family or couples. It has modern amenities and appliances in the kitchen, and is stocked with essential supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, linens, soaps, and the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc.) . There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, an en-suite full bathroom, and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom has two twin beds.

No smoking, no pets.

A gem in Buena Vista!
I am a frequent visitor to Buena Vista. This place was such a lovely home, plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable, large kitchen and a killer view of Mt Princeton. Convenient location to everything in BV as well as the hot springs. The host was incredibly kind and responsive and let us check in early when we got in to town. We will definitely be staying here again in the future

Our adult family of 5 stayed here for a wedding. The home was very clean and the customer service was great. We reached out for fans because it was an extremely hot couple of days and they were brought right over.

This house was so well crafted and maintained. Perfect location to enjoy the Buena Vista fireworks. Everything was clean and organized. We were in constant contact with the property manager, quick responses! The beds were comfortable, plenty of pillows, extra sheets, blankets, towels. Just a great property that is managed well. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Blue House
The Blue House was beautiful, in an excellent location and every detail was thought of for their guests. My daughter forgot her tooth brush and they had some extras. All the rooms are so comfortable, lots of room for hanging out with the family and beautiful views of the mountains out the windows.

A fine line between work and leisure!
Colleagues and I were traveling for work in BV (to host the most beautiful fundraising event) and the house made the entire trip. It was clean, beautiful, and easy to access. Great parking, wifi, and easy check in/out. I would recommend The Blue House as a stop for anyone hoping to enjoy Chaffee County!

Wonderful property!
We absolutely loved our stay at this property. We were very comfortable in this house and were impressed by how clean and new everything was! The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials and the appliances were so new and clean. The property manager was very prompt to respond to questions and even checked in during our stay to ask if we needed anything. The unit has a new TV with access to streaming apps (netflix, etc) which is very convenient and has plenty of space and even includes shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers. I also appreciated the "blue house book" the owner provided with tips on restaurant and hiking recommendations that we relied upon. The unit is a few minutes outside of Buena Vista (just off main) but only a few minutes by car. Overall highly recommend staying at this property!

Carrie, the property manager was very prompt and a great communicator. The house was in a wonderful location for us to do all of our fun outings in BV. The house list of suggested restaurants and hikes, etc. is very helpful. The house was very clean and oh so comfortable. Very nice beds and soft towels :) Very comfortable place to be and we hope to visit again soon.

Beautiful, clean and cozy
Our family of 6 stayed here for two nights at the end of a week-long trip to Colorado over Christmas. The Blue House was the perfect place to end our time in Colorado...we only wish we could have stayed here longer! It was modern, clean, cozy and roomy. It was well-stocked and had many thoughtful touches. The location is very convenient to town and property manager was responsive and to emails and questions. We will definitely try to stay here again on our next trip through Buena Vista. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home!

Amazing vacation rental
We were lucky enough to be the first guests at this brand new vacation home in the mountains. Our stay at The Blue House was everything we hoped for. The home is spotless, inviting and comfortable and there are beautiful views of the mountains and wildlife abound on the property. The hosts have thought of everything-nothing was lacking. My husband and I both have back problems and the new bed was perfect. Even the local coffee they provided was amazing! The small touches of ranch decor and the photos of the cows added just enough western feel. The owners have done a wonderful job and we can't wait to return.
