Main Street - Downtown BV

Wonderful accommodations, with historic charm right on Main Street. The beds were comfortable, two full bathrooms - with great showers and a location that can not be beat! It was wonderful home base for hiking and rafting, with fun options to eat just outside the "front door".

Great location

We enjoyed our stay here, and the location is phenomenal. The one thing I would mention is that there is no A/C, and it got very warm at night. But overall, it is a spacious and comfortable spot which our family enjoyed.

Wonderful host

Cool, funky, huge space in the middle of town. Walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Melinda was fabulous. We did not bring pets but what host have you ever heard of who will not only welcome your dog but also offer to babysit them if you can’t take them with you on an adventure? Had a great time! Highly recommend.

Clean and convenient on Main

Very spacious unit (grandparents, parents, and 9 and 13 year old). We could walk to just about everything (all shops, restaurants on Main, park, skate park, pump track, hiking trails, river, and everything on South Main). Unit was very clean and our host was extremely responsive.

Family’s first taste of BV

I rented Melinda’s place for my adult children and their spouses. It was their first time in BV and we wanted them to be within walking distance to the Whipple Trail, Arkansas River, shopping, dining and my in-laws house. They loved it and embraced every opportunity to experience the magic of BV. Melinda was wonderful to work with. Her place is spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Vintage loft in Buena Vista, CO

Vintage Colorado apartment/loft. Rustic surroundings. Good for walking within downtown BV. Owner/host was easy to communicate with and apartment is quite spacious and was very clean. Steep stairway to entrance and then another steep stairway just as you enter. Not the best for young children. We enjoyed our stay in BV, loved all the shops and restaurants. Bird and Mouse Bakery in alley behind apartment was a treat!

Nice loft in town.

This is a nicely renovated loft above a business on Main Street. Access is through the alley, and there is a single parking space there. However, there is a large public parking lot by the railroad tracks just down the alley. There are three nice bedrooms, all with queen size beds and one room has a twin, too. Very spacious place. Two of the bedrooms look out over the street. The loft is centrally located. We enjoyed walking to everything we did, including hiking over on Midway Hill, walking by the river, and hitting up the local coffee shops and restaurants. Great place, would definitely go back.
