This one-of-a-kind log home is surrounded by breathtaking views. It sits on 30 private acres at the foot of Mt. Princeton – one of Colorado’s 14ers. The architecture is divine with vaulted ceilings and twin lofts on opposing sides of the main room. The south-facing sunroom is a great place to have a cup of coffee in the morning while watching for wildlife. If you like to cook or need to cook for a large group of people you’re going to LOVE our kitchen: Wolf stove and range with two convection ovens, 8 burners, a breakfast island, dining area and a huge grill on the expansive deck where we have more dining seating and views overlooking the city of Buena Vista and accompanying mountain range. The master bathroom has a claw foot tub if you feel like a soak, while the other main bathroom is spa-style with a huge multi-jet shower. The guest house includes another spa-style bathroom, a fully loaded game room and an expansive bedroom. This separate structure is included in your rental. The game room has a poker table, pool table, Bubble Hockey, dart board, play-station and big screen TV. You can sleep 6 couples (two of our couches are convertible to full-sized beds) – each bed or couch is in its own private living quarters. The house is a 5-minute drive from Mt. Princeton Hot Spring Resort. It’s also a half hour or less to a dozen amazing hikes including the Collegiate Peaks (all three of them 14ers that surround the property). Buena Vista is the world capitol of Rafting and although this property is secluded and private it only takes 15 minutes to drive to town. Bird watching, gem hunting, mountain biking, 4-wheeling, star gazing – really anything you could ask for in a mountain getaway!

Absolutely stunning log cabin and host was very accommodating and responsive. Definitely recommend this VRBO for a group looking to relax and enjoy the space.
This was an outstanding property for our weekend getaway. The accommodations were excellent, the location was great, and George was great at communications.
We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. The house has everything you would need and the property is beautiful! All of the beds were comfortable and it made for a very wonderful weekend away with a group of girlfriends! Would definitely recommend this house!
Had a wonderful weekend with the family. The house was in a nice remote area with beautiful mountain views. The hike around the home gave a perfect mix of scenery and widlife. The home was clean and had more than enough space for our family. The hot springs at Mt Princeton resort did not disappoint. Overall, get trip and conf
Wonderful home and location for enjoying Buena Vista and the surrounding area. Can't wait to come back for hopefully longer than 3 days. Would stay here again without question.
It was the perfect place for our trip and even though we had activities planned in the area, we were very tempted to spend all of our time at the house. Sitting on the deck enjoying the morning sun, it was tough to want to leave! Will definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises!
This cabin is secluded, but only a short drive to town. Very clean with plenty of room for the entire family. My wife and I enjoyed sitting on the deck to take in the view. Kids loved the game room. Will definitely stay here again for our next visit.
Beautiful property on 30 acres with amazing views, yet very accessible to town & activities. Some of the things we enjoyed most- the view, huge grill, beautiful stove, game room, space for everyone. Would definitely stay again.
I would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful home at the base of mount Princeton. The home was gorgeous and the kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our long weekend getaway. We would love to stay here again in the future!
Great mountain cabin! Host communicated well and with very clear instructions, and cabin was clean and well maintained. Location is close to hiking and whitewater rafting in both Buena Vista and Salida.
My bridesmaids and I stayed at this cabin in preparation for my wedding morning. The cabin is what I would describe as secluded (from town) and there are other cabins and properties in the area. The cabin was absolutely spotless, amazing accommodations, exactly as described, and the property manager, George, was extremely helpful and kind! A great stay and I will definitely be planning another stay!
I must first say that the pictures don’t do this property justice. The views of the mountains are incredible to wake up to. The cabin was super clean and had all of the amenities that you could think of like shampoo and conditioner in the showers to spices in the kitchen. There is a huge stove and grill to cook on. Beds are super comfy. It was so perfect for our family. I hope to visit again.

I'm a Colorado native having lived and worked most of my life in and around the Denver area. My goal was always to own a piece of Colorado mountain land and I finally achieved it when I bought this place.
Why they chose this property
When you stay here, you'll know. They don't call this area Buena Vista for nothing. Literally every direction you look is a breathtaking view - and I'm not just throwing that term around lightly. Location is everything and this house is in a perfect spot. Far enough from civilization where you can experience TRUE quiet and untamed nature - yet close enough to town where it's no biggie when you realize you're out of garlic. I also LOVE to hike and bike. It's one of the main reasons I live in Colorado - and this spot is prime for both. Aside from the location the house itself is pretty special. Log homes are an experience in-and-of themselves. The texture provides a kind of calming effect that's hard to describe - or maybe it's because it's ALL wood - not synthetic building materials... you really have to experience it for yourself.
