About this property
Dream cabin w/ stunning views near hot springs & town!
The ideal mountain cabin escape awaits! With majestic views of the Collegiate Peaks, this log home is only 3 miles to buzzing Buena Vista and close to all things wonderfully Colorado: hiking the CO Trail, mountain biking, fly-fishing, hot springs, rafting, skiing, snow shoeing, & nature soaking. Play in town with cool shops, eateries, and art galleries; walk along the river or tour nearby Salida, Twin Lakes, Leadville or even Crested Butte from this great CO getaway! Ideal for up to 6 people.
This beautiful log home delivers with a wrap around deck and stunning views. Complete with solar-powered electricity, this eco-cabin’s floor plan optimizes natural sunlight that compliments rich wood tones, vaulted ceilings and beetle kill pine wood cabinets. The cozy kitchen offers sunrise views, while bedrooms include two bathroom en-suites, one on the lower level, plus a spacious loft suite offering captivating views, and a third bedroom on the main floor. The outdoor deck, solar studio & garden provide space to enjoy the crisp mountain scenery - ideal after a long day enjoying the nearby hiking and biking trails.
Guest access: The entire house is yours! We'll send you access details prior to arrival.
Other things to note: Shoes off in the house is preferred please. There is a shoe rack in the closet next to the front door, and a mud room entrance/closet through the back door.
We have 2 internet service providers (ISPs) due to the relatively not great options in our area. Internet speed for one of our ISPs is ~24/25 Mbps for downloading and 3 Mbps for uploading. The other is ~10 Mbps for downloading and 1 Mbps for uploading. This is typically sufficient for most uses, but if you may consider bringing a wi-fi hotspot for additional bandwidth.

About the host
Your host
Anna and I live in Lakewood but spend as much time as possible at our dream cabin in Buena Vista. We are both sustainability professionals who love the outdoors, travel, adventures and time in nature with our 4-legged critters!
Why they chose this property
What can we say - this is high desert mountain living at its finest! Nestled right in the heart of the Arkansas River Valley, you'll have amazing views of several snow-capped "14ers" to the west and the mountains above the Arkansas River and town to the East, offering great sunrise and sunset indulgence. Neighbors include deer and horses, yet we're a lovely (bike-able) 3 miles to town. And what a cool town Buena Vista is -- a great vibe and very happening for its small-town size. When the day is up, why not head up to the nearby, super chill Cottonwood Hot Springs or Mount Princeton Hot Springs.
