Are you looking for peace and quiet in a private setting that is away from the city buzz, yet close to town and all the outdoor adventures?
The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat has you covered.
The home sits on 4 acres and backs up to a conservation easement, making it feel like the entire valley is yours. Wake up to the best coffee in the valley while taking in unobstructed views of Mt. Princeton and Cottonwood Pass. Treat yourself. Enjoy the private hot tub with the best views in the valley!
The home was completely remodeled by the hosts in 2021 to include all new flooring, new cabinets, granite countertops, LG kitchen appliances, fully finished garage, tiled showers, new ceiling fans, LED lights throughout, and much more.
BEDROOMS There are three private bedrooms in the home. Each bedroom offers a sound machine, night light, and USB/USB-C ports. They all have a smart Roku TV. Please note that we do not offer streaming services, but all apps are available for use with your own account.
Bedroom 1 is the master suite. It has a King bed with an en suite bathroom. The King bed has a Tuft & Needle memory foam mattress with a memory foam topper. This is ultimate comfort.
Bedroom 2 has a Queen bed with a Tuft & Needle memory foam mattress and a memory foam topper. In the closet, you will find a Twin rollaway bed and extra blankets.
Bedroom 3 has a Full bed and a Twin bed. Both beds have a memory foam mattress for very comfortable sleeping. In the closet, you will find a 2-in-1 compact playard with an optional bassinet for your little one as well as a few toys and books.
BATHROOMS Both bathrooms are supplied with bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, makeup towels, and a hair dryer. Travel size shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, lotion, and makeup wipes are provided in each bathroom. The showers in both bathrooms have a rainfall shower head because once you use a rainfall shower head, you'll never want anything else.
KITCHEN We love to cook, so you will have access to all the cooking essentials! The kitchen is stocked with silverware, plates, bowls, glasses, coffee cups, and wine glasses. It also has pots, pans, slow cooker, blender, coffee grinder, strainers, mixing bowls, and more. We have you covered for the small miscellaneous items such as all the openers for wine, bottles and cans. We also supply a half pound bag of organic coffee from our local shop, The Buena Vista Roastery! If you're bringing a little one, we have a high chair available.
LIVING ROOM Enjoy maximum comfort with leather sofas, throw blankets and pillow, lamps, and the best view of Mount Princeton and Cottonwood Pass out the picture windows. Then watch your favorite show on the 65" smart Roku TV with sound bar. Most houses in the valley do not have air conditioning because summers do not get warm enough to justify them. We have installed a *NEW* seasonal air conditioning unit in the living room for the rare days that air conditioning is desired.
LAUNDRY ROOM You will have access to a full-size LG washer and dryer. We provide scent-free laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The room is also equipped with an iron, ironing board, clothes basket, mop, floor cleaner, broom, vacuum, and first aid kit.
GARAGE (GAME ROOM/GYM) The garage is fully insulated with a *NEW* commercial grade heater that warms the place up like you're hanging out indoors. In the garage, there is a fitness area equipped with a stationary bike, pull-up bar, dumbbells (5-25 lbs), kettlebells (10-50 lbs), medicine balls, and more. The game area has a pool table, foosball table, *NEW* shuffleboard table, a board game table, corn hole boards, and an additional fridge.
EXTERIOR The interior of the home is amazing, but let's be honest. It's the views and the privacy that make The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat the ultimate getaway. Enjoy the 6-person HotSprings spa for ultimate relaxation after a day of exploring the valley. Because Buena Vista sits at approximately 8,000 feet, the evenings can be cool all year round. This makes for perfect soaking conditions.
Hot tub not your thing? The backyard also has a private horseshoe pit, 4 polywood Adirondack chairs, a swinging bench, and a 6-person dining table for the warmer months. We also offer a Weber gas grill with provided propane and utensils. Enjoy the views of Mt. Princeton and Cottonwood Pass in one of the many seating options. Do yourself a favor and book The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat during a new moon. On a clear night, you may be lucky enough to see the best view of The Milky Way of your life.

Amazing views, great location, tons of things to keep our son entertained. Property was very clean and owners were very accommodating and responsive. Will definitely stay here again!
Very clean and updated home with a soaring view of Mt. Princeton and surrounding area. Hot springs are just down the road so, bring your swimsuit. Again, very clean and very tidy. Kitchen was very well organized.
This location is fantastic, panoramic views of the collegiate peaks and valley and we were only 5 minutes away from the Charlotte hotsprings. The game room provided us with nonstop activities while in the property and the kitchen and grill were great—there’s an extra fridge in the garage as well!Very responsive host and very easy check-in/out instructions. A peaceful and beautiful stay, we would be happy to come back again.
Centrally located in the Arkansas Valley, just minutes out of Buena Vista, this home was clean and we-appointed. And the view..... PHENOMENAL! We loved how close to ATV trails, hot springs, hiking, 4-wheeling this stay was, plus a hot tub for relaxing at the end of our day.

Thanks for sharing, Rhonda! I’m glad you enjoyed the location, hot tub, and view! You’re welcome back any time. ☺️
We really enjoyed our stay here. Communication with the host was easy and they were very responsive and accommodating! My kids loved the game room and hung out in there a lot. Location was great for everything we were doing in BV. The view can not be beat we really couldn't ask for more.

The views of the mountains were stunning, and the stars were amazing at night from the hot tub! We had so much fun hanging out, biking, hot tubbing, and play pool in the rec room they created in the garage. An amazing place to stay!

We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay. The views of the stars from the hot tub are some of the best in the valley. Thanks for being a great guest and safe travels!
We loved the game room (nice garage conversion) and great views of the collegiate peaks out back from the hottub. Good hub to adventure around everything in Chaffee county in 45 min or less!

What an incredible experience we had and GNAR ranch. It was just far enough outside BV - very quiet and tons of breathtaking views and wildlife. Better than anything you can watch on Netflix. I highly recommend this home.

We're happy to hear that you had such a great experience! Thanks for choosing to stay with us.
This was a delightful property and pretty much exactly as advertised. Very well equipped and the views were spectacular. Far enough out so you felt that you were "away" but close enough to town to get whatever you might need

The location is one of our favorite things about the property as well! Glad you enjoyed the views. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!
The views from this property are top notch. Our kids loved the snacks and hats left by the hosts. All the amenities you will ever need. Even local coffee grinds, which we loved. We took in an amazing star show from the hot tub.

We think BV Roastery makes the best coffee, and I'm so glad to hear you loved it too! Thanks again for choosing to stay with us. We'd be happy to get the opportunity to host you again.
This was a perfect house for our family. We had everything we needed. The host even had shampoo, conditioner, lotion and bar soap in both bathrooms; a really nice and appreciated touch! The hot tub with the view of Mount Princeton was incredible. A quick 7 minute drive to town and main Street with great restaurants. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Ashley!

Thanks for staying with us! The next time you visit, you'll see that we've added makeup remover wipes to our bathroom lineup as well. We appreciate your feedback and love making the best experience for our guests!
Exactly as pictured. Just the right size for 3 adults and 1 child. So quiet. Woke up to antelope in the field, mule deer and bluebirds. LG appliances throughout. Excellent instruction binder. Recommend!

We are so happy you found our guest guidebook helpful and were able to see wildlife. The deer and antelope are out and about the property nearly every day.
We've stayed at many VRBO rentals. This 1 is definitely in the top 5! This home sits where you can see the beautiful mountains all around you. View is breathtaking! What we loved about the home: Inviting, newly built, peaceful location, well equipped, large game room for all ages to play & exercise, 3 bdrs, comfy leather couches, hot tub, nice outdoor area, near 2 hotsprings, easy check-in, thoughtful owners, & good communication!

Your kind words mean a lot. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay!
This was our first trip to Buena Vista- we travel to Colorado every year. We love the mountains, so this property seemed to meet our needs. Once we arrived, we were so impressed with the cleanliness and attention to detail by the owners. The view can’t even be described- you MUST be there to fully appreciate the unobstructed view from the backyard. We enjoyed every second of our stay. It’s far enough to be away from everything and enjoy the stars at night, see wildlife, and gaze at the mountains from the hot tub. It’s also a short drive to everything in town. We drove to the hot springs at Mt. Princeton and to Salida as well. We highly recommend staying here.

I wish we could share the view from here with everyone, but you're right! It's hard to describe without being there in person. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. It would be a pleasure to host you again.
This property is exactly as described and pictured! The hot tub view of the mountains is spectacular! The house is gorgeous top to bottom! The house was super clean. Beds were comfortable. The property is situated just on the edge of town so it's convenient to get two things but secluded enough to relax & unwind. The hosts are wonderful at communicating (although there was nothing we needed).
I really wish we could have stayed the weekend & went the cute little drive-in theater down the road. Next time!!!

GNAR Ranch - AMAZING!! Hated to leave but we’ll be back.
House itself was recently updated and well cleaned as described. Better than we expected. The atmosphere is why we’ll be back. The garage game/exercise room had new or well kept equipment and games. But the views!!! Mountains in the daylight and stars at night. Saw a falling star while enjoying the hot tub. Not enough space to tell about all the great experiences. Thanks for sharing your home with us. SO we’ll worth it.

About the host
Hosted by Ashley Robinson
Hi! I'm Ashley, and I co-host The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat with my husband, Mason. We met at an Air Force base in Northern California while I was in the Air National Guard. Mason had recently left the Army and was working as a contractor in my same career field. Together, we entered the rental business almost immediately after getting together. After spending a few years in Auburn, California we decided we wanted a change. We landed in Buena Vista for its whitewater kayaking, mountain biking, and skiing. We lived in The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat for 6 months while we completed a full renovation of the home. Life has moved us back to California, so we decided to rent out our dream home, The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat, while we are away. We hope you enjoy the area and home as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property because we wanted it all. Privacy, seclusion, and all of the outdoor activities. When you stay at The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat, you are within 10 minutes of nearly every outdoor activity you can imagine. Whitewater rafting Browns Canyon, hiking the Colorado Trail, ascending a 14er, mountain biking, fly fishing, rock climbing, and so much more.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this property due to its unobstructed views of Mt Princeton, which is arguably one of the best in the Valley. The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat hot tub provides incredible relaxation and star-gazing opportunities. The property is located on 4 acres and is just a short 5-minute drive from downtown BV, which allows for the perfect balance between convenience and privacy.
