About this property
Practically Home in Buena Vista: Close to Town, Hikes, River and 14ers : STR-239
The trees are turning! Leaf peeping is great in BV! Aspen Ridge is a 4 wheel drive road with miles of Aspen between BV and Salida. Twin Lakes nearby has great color as well. If you want to be close to the action in Buena Vista but far enough away to be peaceful, this is the property for you. Relax indoors with the TV and high speed Wifi or challenge your group to board game battles. Drink your coffee or wine in the fully fenced back yard with glimpses of the mountains or take the kids to play in the public park only a block away. Mountain bikes, fishing gear or skis will be safe in our garage. Hiking, rafting, mountain biking, rock climbing and fly fishing are close in the summer. In the winter, both Monarch Mountain and Ski Cooper are less than an hour away. The high school track is just down the block if you want to go for a run. The kitchen is well-equipped for those times when you feel like making a meal, or you can drive five minutes to any of our delicious local restaurants. At the end of the day you can always be sure that the beds are cozy and the showers are hot.

About the host
Hosted by Janna O'Donnell
We have lived overseas and we've vacationed all over the world, but BV has always appealed to us in a special way. Our family has come regularly in the summer and sometimes at Christmas for over 20 years before we decided to settle here permanantly. BV has so much to offer. We love rafting, fishing and hiking in the summer; leaf peeping in the fall; snowshoeing and snowboarding in the winter, and off-roading in our jeep year around. We're eager to share the BV charm and local adventures with our renters. We hope you have a wonderful visit, and we'll do all we can to make that happen.
