About this property

Peaceful Mountain getaway, 3 bath, Spectacular views! Coffee in the cupboard!

We are delighted to share our mountain home with you! We are nestled in the country with amazing views of 14,000' mountains. We are a short 10 min. drive to the town of Buena Vista, which you can see from our home. You can enjoy a cup of coffee on the patio and relax with sweeping views looking down the valley to the Sangre DeCristo mountains. We have raised our family in this home and have created many fond memories, as you will too! Because of the great location there is so much to do in our area; mountain biking, hiking, rafting, horseback riding, ATV excursions, Jeeping, skiing, paddle boarding, swimming at the Hot Springs, leisurely walks by the Arkansas river, and fishing. Our home is located very close to a trail head if you are interested in a day hike and easy access to the Colorado Trail. We love the views from inside our home too!

We have 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and plenty of space to kick back and relax. Our home has an open floor plan with a spacious kitchen open to the dining and living room areas. We have plenty of items for your use in the kitchen to cook up some of your favorite meals! You will also enjoy vaulted Aspen ceilings throughout the house that give it a cozy mountain feel.

Our quaint little mountain town of Buena Vista offers unique shopping, relaxing coffee shops, yummy restaurants, kid friendly parks, river walk paths, and many churches to choose from. We have an information center here in our home for you to check out the many activities and options for your family as you take in all our valley has to offer. To the north of Buena Vista you can check out Twin Lakes which is absolutely beautiful! There you will find hiking, fishing, boating, and breathtaking views of the tallest mountain in Colorado; Mt. Elbert. The historic town of Leadville is also to the north where you can enjoy a scenic train ride or take in the Mining Museum. The artsy town of Salida is to the south of Buena Vista. You may also want to enjoy a day at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs which is truly a fun Colorado experience! If you happen to be here during the winter months you can enjoy snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, or downhill skiing. We have 3 ski resorts within an hour of our home! Ski Cooper, Copper Mountain and Monarch. If you want to drive just a little further you can ski at Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, Beaver Creek or ABasin.

Awesome house for a hiking group!

Both the property and the property owner are fantastic. We had a wonderful experience. Well stocked kitchen, amazing views, great patio, great location. If you are planning hikes in the mountains, wanting to hang out in the valley, or both, this place is wonderful. This will be our first choice for future trips!

Great location and views

If you’re planning a stay around the Buena Vista area this is a great place. House had everything we needed. Driveway big enough for two full size trucks with 20’ trailers. Easy to pull or back in. Easy to get to and short drive to town. 40 minutes to St Elmo trailhead and about 50 to Taylor Park. Be sure to stay up and check out the stars, amazing view. Enjoyed watching multiple wildlife around the area. If we ever come back to this area would stay here again.

Can’t Beat it with a Stick!

The location cannot be beat. Staring out at several 14ers from the back porch - hard to beat that. Watching the sunlight, clouds and shadows dance around all day on the mountain sides leaves you in awe. The place has plenty of room for several families. The kitchen has everything you need. You are minutes away from some incredible hikes and 14er summits. Highly recommend the Ptarmigan Lake hike. And the Arkansas is just down the street for rafting, surfing, fishing, or just a cool dip.

Wonderful views and location! Spacious, fabulous!

An amazing home! Way better than the photos! We so enjoyed our stay! The views were stunning! The home was very nicely laid out and furnished. Plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed to make meals. Comfortable beds. We loved the peace and quiet of the location and were especially thrilled with being able to go out on the patio at night and marvel at the stars and even see the whole Milky Way! We loved the shady covered patio off the master bedroom all day long and the patio off the kitchen. The interior decorating and gospel verses were great. The upstairs bathroom decor was so fun with the patriotic motif. We would have given this property a 5+ star rating, instead of a 4, but, the master bedroom and the great room got so hot and bright due to there not being any window coverings for the upper windows. If there's any way to add some kind of window coverings to the upper windows it would make it so much more comfortable in those rooms. The early morning brightness and heat in the master bedroom made it unbearable after about 9:00. The sun was so bright and hot in the great room in the later afternoon that we weren't able to even eat dinner at the kitchen table (perhaps we could've worn our sunglasses?) If there's any way to address those issues (maybe a window covering specialist?) we would love to book this beautiful home again next year! Lastly, shampoo and conditioner weren't supplied, (but other bathroom items were!)

A special place

Friends from back East joined my wife and I for three nights in this comfortable and spacious house. Communication with the hosts/ owners was excellent. We were met upon arrival and shown around the home, and they checked with us after a day or so to ensure we had what we needed. The house was spotless and well stocked. The views from the house are SPECTACULAR! One of the best home stay experiences we have had….and we have had many. Would go back in a heartbeat! Mike

Immersed in nature

Our stay was magical! We were greeted by Elk, Pronhorn, and Mulies on the back patio. Mountain views are spectacular and change with the light as the day evolves. We were lucky to catch Alpenglow, an optical phenomenon that makes the mountain peaks appear to glow reddish from inside that occurs near sunset. The kitchen is fully stocked, and we shared most meals at home, although there were opportunities to eat out in Buena Vista. We recommend stopping by the Chamber of Commerce to see Maggie and hear about all the wonderful nearby activities. We enjoyed Cottonwood pass, Cottonwood Hot Springs, and even took a drive to Crested Butte. There are a couple of ghost towns nearby to explore. We didn't do any rafting, but will plan for that next time. Our hosts were very kind and helpful and the property was extremely clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful!

Lovely property and location! Nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of Buena Vista, but nice and close to our wedding event in that town. Great views of the mountains! We drove up the road to hike on the Colorado trail (road extremely bumpy and full of potholes, fyi) but nice and close and gorgeous views!

5 stars!

Scott & Deana's home was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. I enjoyed the view every morning with a cup of coffee. The area is quiet and peaceful. We stayed for a long weekend with our adult children and enjoyed paddle boarding and fishing in Cottonwood Lake, hiking at Cottonwood Pass, board games, puzzles, etc. Thank you for the added touch of filling the hummingbird feeder which was active all day long and for sharing your beautiful place with us. Great memories were made.

Absolutely Fantastic!

We had 3 couples staying at the house for a week of 4 wheeler riding and had plenty of room for everything. It was nice the house was close enough to town when we wanted to go out to eat or shop, but far enough away you felt like you were out of town. We all really liked the layout of the house as well. Bedrooms are spaced far enough apart for privacy and having the TV downstairs was nice so whoever wanted to watch it, didnt interfere with those who wanted to sit around and talk upstairs. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing. We saw Antelope, Mule deer and even a Coyote while at the house. We also did some white water rafting and the ladies took a day and went to Salida for a little shopping. Over all, just perfect for us. A special thanks to Deana and Scott for making this so easy!

About the host

Hosted by Deana Wik

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in the midwest and moved to the Buena Vista area in 2002. Our daughter was only 7 at the time. We have loved living in the mountains and became connected with our community and church family very quickly. As a family we love to snow ski together, bike, play games and go to Denver Bronco games! Sharing life with many dear friends here in the area have been a highlight for us.

Why they chose this property

We love living in the country here in the mountains! When we purchased this property we were excited to be so close to town and yet out of town. It has been a wonderful home to raise our family in and have many special friends come to visit us from across America and around the world. It is a special place to us because of all the wonderful memories we have created with friends and family in this home. Some of our neighbors have become like family to us!
We have had lots of unique wildlife on our property too! Elk, antelope, deer, fox and other unique critters.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the open floor plan and the very spacious bedrooms! One of the unique features is all the Aspen ceilings throughout the house that really give it that mountain feel. The most spectacular thing is the views that we have from inside our home of the many fourteen thousand foot mountains and then looking down the valley to the south. The patio area to also a favorite spot to soak in the wonderful Colorado sunshine and take in the amazing views!
