About this property

Family Adventure Home on 3 Acres Close to BV, Nat’l Forest Access 🐶

Spacious, bright, family-friendly home – equipped to host your group! Located near Park and Chaffee counties, this home is a launchpad for the area's outdoor rec opportunities and less than a 20-minute drive to Buena Vista and Fairplay. 60-minute drive to Breckenridge or Monarch!

Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas and a game room allows for a relaxing getaway. Our home is set on 3, fenced acres of aspen groves, pine trees and includes a play set for evenings spent outside.

Although we are new to hosting on VRBO, this property has a 4.9 star rating with 31 reviews on another popular, short-term rental platform. We are trusted hosts and we know you’ll love your time at our home!

More about the home and outdoor space surrounding it…

Our home boasts two living and relaxing areas to watch the birds, deer, and chipmunks wandering around the property. A massive dining table seats 12 with an additional eat-in kitchen table and benches. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked, perfect for preparing meals with friends and family.

The primary bedroom has a king bed, cozy seating area, desk for working remote and sliding glass doors to enjoy all of the birds and wildlife in the backyard. The ensuite bathroom has a separate shower with stone floor and clawfoot tub for relaxing after a long day on the trails. One of the queen guest bedrooms has its own ensuite bathroom and the other has beautiful bay windows and a desk.

Upstairs are two bunk rooms (one is accessed through the others - with a door between them) featuring two full over full bunk beds each with a twin trundle bed underneath. The Back bunk room has a futon and tv to allow children their own space to unwind after outdoor adventures. Downstairs is a separate room with a pool and foosball table and a cabinet with lots of games and puzzles to enjoy as a family or with your friends!

Outside is a quiet, fenced in three acre yard. There is a playset for the kiddos, an outdoor dining table that seats 6, a propane gas grill, and a propane first all for enjoyment of the majestic mountain mornings, afternoons, and evenings. You'll love the quiet the yard has to offer at any time of day and the bright stars and Milky Way views at night. You'll quickly lose count of all of the shooting stars you'll see on a clear summer night.

Situated just a half of mile from over 100,000 acres of the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Area and San Isabel National Forest, this is a great home to launch into all of the wild and wonderful activities in the area, including snowshoeing, biking, rafting, cross country skiing, hiking, fishing (world class ice fishing and fly fishing within miles!), wandering, kayaking, dirt biking, four-wheeling, bird watching, and any other activity you enjoy in the great outdoors.

We are also just 15 minutes from the cute town of Buena Vista, 20 minutes from Fairplay and less than an hour from Breckenridge.

Large House For Multiple Families
We had three families of four and each adult couple had their own bedroom, and each kid had their own bed. There was plenty of space, whether to getaway from the kids, or to all sit down for meal together. The game room had a pool table and was a hit with kids. The yard wasn’t great for outdoor activities other than sitting around, but we had plenty to do so that wasn’t an issue. There was adequate parking and the neighborhood was quiet. The house is approximately 15 minutes from BV which wasn’t as bad as I expected for making trips into town. The owner, Liz, was very responsive and accommodating.

Great Family Stay
This was exactly as advertised and we had a great time. Every question we had was answered almost immediately by the host. The house was beautiful and spacious, though I didn't realize no whole home air conditioning. However, fans were provided and it really cooled off at night! Great stay, Thanks for delivering!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Liz and Shane live in Littleton full-time and enjoy the mountains with our two young kids as often as life allows, engaging in all of the activities from downhill skiing, to hiking, rafting, to climbing and off-roading.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved renting different homes throughout Colorado and exploring new parts of the beautiful Centennial state. This area is one of our favorites and we found ourselves spending more and more time exploring all around the San Isabel National Forest, Fairplay, Buena Vista, Salida, the South Park and Arkansas River Valleys and all of the amazing outdoor activities these areas provide. Now we are able to enjoy hosting guests at our own home in Hartsel, nestled in the shadows of the Collegiate Peaks.

What makes this property unique

We love that this home allows multiple families to gather and spend time together. Getting away from the city life with our friends and family is our favorite and was one of the main attractions for us to this home. Plus, the fenced yard is great for containing the dogs and keeping the kiddos safe.
