About this property

Rustic-cozy cabin with modern amenities in quiet neighborhood w/ state park yard

Jackie's cabin is full of gems and surprises. Guests say the pictures don't do this property justice! As soon as you arrive, you will be whisked back in time, 142 years to be exact, to the 1880s. This cozy cabin has tons of character which includes original beamed ceilings, original clear grained Douglas Fir floors. You can tell your friends that you got to stay in one of the oldest homes in Buena Vista. Even though the cabin is rustic it has many modernized features...Wi-fi, TV, fully stocked kitchen - including an air fryer and Keurig coffee maker, brand new gas fire place, washer/dryer, etc. The natural light in living room and dining room is great for a work vacation.
The cabin is so conveniently located - walking distance to shopping, parks, and restaurants. The neighborhood is very quiet.
A fenced in yard so your children and pets can play in safety. The magical garden is adorned with such a variety of mountain flowers. Several water fountains are "splashed" throughout the gardens along with many fun and pretty decorations. One of the few rentals that you can roast marshmallows over a fit pit ...as long as there are no fire restrictions. In the "court yard" area there's plenty of seating as you wait for your hamburgers to get done on the gas grill.

It's no wonder our property has inspired many writers and creatives after even a short stint with us. A pioneer of its time, you will feel, smell, and almost taste the history and energy this quaint, eclectic space has to offer.
Your stay at Jackie's cabin will have your imagination running as wild as flora and fauna in the shrubbery. We pay homage to that with an 1880s cozy frontier-style abode; step back in time into your own movie set.

No visit is complete without bonding and bonfires as you roast marshmallows and swap stories around the fire pit in her eclectic courtyard. With plenty of seating and guaranteed warmth from the propane heater for the cooler nights, entertaining around the BBQ could not be more Instagram-able. Oh and don't forget your guitar!

Balmy summer nights, clear skies, just the mountains and the stars. On a clear, moonless night, you can view the Milky Way in her full magnificent beauty.

We welcome you to bring up to 2 pets, for just $25 per dog, per stay. Just make sure you don't leave evidence of your pet's stay!

A stay at Jackie's Cabin is promised to have you feeling back home again. Come, enjoy and write about it.

Adorable rustic getaway

We spent a couple of nights there while visiting the local hot springs. It was a great location! It was still wintertime, but I could see that the huge yard was going to be a magical place to hang out in the summer! Guess we’ll have to go back then!

Comfortable stay in an updated 1880 cabin

Such a fun place to stay! There are fun decorations in every room as well as original treasures such as tin ceilings in the kitchen (which is thoroughly updated) and - claw foot tub in the bathroom. The property manager Lisa is friendly and responsive, even going the extra mile to add jigsaw puzzles to their stash of entertainment options. The yard is especially fun and worth the visit all by itself We had wonderful stay

Wonderful cabin near downtown Bueno Vista Colorado

This is a wonderful cabin on a quit lot in Bueno Vista Colorado. It is very well equipped and very cozy with the gas fireplace. We stayed during the winter and enjoyed the Mt Princeton hot springs just 20 minutes away. The area is beautiful surrounded by 14,000 ft peaks. The yard is spacious and awesome for pets. We would like to return in the summer and enjoy the many outdoor activities that abound in this area.
