About this property
Buena Vista Home Base—Easy access to downtown, trails, river and 14ers : STR-240
Rafting season (otherwise known as summer) has begun in Buena Vista! Bring your family and your toys to this spacious home which is a perfect place to start your adventures in Buena Vista. We have TV and high speed WiFi when you want to relax as well as board games and cards. You can drink your coffee or wine in the fully fenced back yard or take the kids to play in the public park only a block away. Your 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, you’re less than a hour away from both Monarch Mountain and Ski Cooper. The kitchen is well-equipped if you feel like making a meal, or you can walk a mile or drive five minutes to any of our delicious local restaurants on Main Street or South Main. 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.
Happy Trails,
Rob and Janna
