The property is conveniently close to downtown Buena Vista and to hiking trails. The house was clean and well stocked with all we needed. Backyard was perfect for hanging out and the dog enjoyed it too. Communication with the property manager was prompt and all questions were quickly answered. Great place to stay!

Hot springs family vacation

We had a great time. Great location and comfortable. There were times the temperature was a little cold in the house and the lighting in the kitchen is dark at night. Otherwise very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and great backyard.

Perfect for families!

We came to BV to spend time with our older daughter and her young children. We'd hang out there and it was perfect. My granddaughter loved all the toys and that there was little kid plates and forks. The only thing missing was a highchair. My only complaint is the matter is double and not a queen.

Cute little house about a mile from Main Street! Probably a little on the "tight" end with 4 adults, 2 teenagers, and 2 kids, but that wasn't the fault of the house! The pictures and amenities were accurate and exactly as described, we would stay here again!

Great home and property

We enjoyed our stay. The location is easy to find and convenient for getting around the area. Great fenced backyard for haning out and for our dog to explore. Kitchen well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. Plenty of space for the five of us that stayed.

Simply perfect

This sweet little home served our family with a whole lotta heart. We were able to walk to town, and to the Midland Trails across the river. A three minute juant to yoga, coffee, excellent food, the hearty little stream that runs alongside town. The fence in the back yard made it "the pick," on behalf of our furry family members, who enjoyed mountaineering for the first time ever. Will certainly book this place again. Thank your for the warmth and hospitality we felt in your home!

Small house in Town

This is a small house and is fine if you need a small place for your family. It is listed as a 2 full bath. That is not correct. It has one full bath and one half bath. We had 8 adults using one shower and that became a little frustrating. Also, the house was not cleaned when we arrived. I called our contact who took care of it right away which was helpful but nothing was disinfected just the towels were picked up off the floor and the beds were made for us.
