About this property

5BR - South Main's Iconic Green Craftsman Retreat - Steps to River & Parks

Some vacation rentals are just a place to sleep. This one is where community happens.

Welcome to the South Main Gathering House — a fully loaded 5-bedroom craftsman in the heart of Buena Vista's most beloved neighborhood. Whether you're here for a family reunion, a friends' getaway, or a multi-family adventure trip, this home was built for exactly that.

DESIGNED FOR TOGETHERNESS
The open great room, kitchen, and dining area flow together so no one gets left out of the conversation. Cook together at the large island bar (seats 4), gather around the gas fireplace, or throw open the French doors to the fenced backyard for grilling and golden-hour mountain views. The gated front porch is a favorite for kids, coffee, and watching Buena Vista wake up.

🛏 FIVE BEDROOMS, EVERYONE SLEEPS WELL (sleeps 10–11)
- Primary suite: King, private bath, private balcony with mountain views
- Bedroom 2: Queen + twin bunk (great for families)

🏔 THE BEST LOCATION IN SOUTH MAIN
Known as "the green and red craftsman on the right" as you enter the neighborhood, this home puts you steps from the Arkansas River whitewater park, Eddyline Restaurant & Brewery, and Buena Vista's best trails and parks. The Collegiate Peaks are right outside your window.

Raft the Arkansas. Bike the trails. Ski Monarch. Soak in the hot springs. Then come home to the porch, fire up the grill, and let the alpenglow do the rest.

We're proud of our reviews — they'll tell you everything you need to know.
