A Few Things to Know

No air conditioning: Like many Colorado mountain homes, the condo does not have air conditioning. Buena Vista's mountain climate typically brings cool evenings. Open the windows at night to enjoy the cool mountain air, then close them during the day if temperatures rise. Ceiling fans in both bedrooms provide additional airflow while you sleep.

Pets: Dogs are welcome, but sorry, no cats.

No smoking: Smoking is not permitted inside the property.

Security: A Ring Doorbell is located at the front door.

Check-in/check-out: Guest deadbolt codes are programmed to your reservation. Your code will not work before 4:00 PM on check-in day and will stop working at 10:00 AM on checkout day.

Guest Access

Guests have exclusive access to the entire condo during their stay. The condo has private access, and there are no steps between the parking lot and the condo, making arrival and unloading easy.

Your Weekend Starts Here

Leave Denver Friday afternoon. Park the car. Start playing!

Whether your perfect weekend means bagging a 14er, riding mountain bike trails, surfing the Arkansas, chasing trout, soaking in a hot spring, grilling dinner with mountain views, or simply wandering downtown with your dog, this condo puts you right in the middle of it!

Buena Vista is your outdoor playground. This is your basecamp!

Vacation to see relative

Great condo close to dog park and river to run our dog. Very clean. All amenities you would ever need. Quiet area with some full timers that were very friendly. Highly recommend this vrbo. Had some issues getting in but it was our fault. Management and owner instantly took care of us. We were embarrassed but they immediately helped us after normal work hours

About the host

Hosted by Brian Carlson

Host profile image

I am a 4th generation Colorado native who was born and raised in Loveland. I am an avid outdoorsman who loves hiking, biking, monoskiing, snowboarding, SUP'n, camping, tennis and yoga. I also enjoy woodworking and I built the kitchen table, the beds and all the nightstands/desk out of local beetle kill blue pine. I used to spend more time in Grand County until I got a taste of BV.

Why they chose this property

BV is such an amazing place for the weekend warrior who wants to be playing outdoors. My condo is three blocks to downtown Main Street and a short walk to South Main, the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area, and BV trail system. Everything is walkable. When I come up for the weekend, I park my car and then walk everywhere the rest of the time.

What makes this property unique

I built all the beetle kill pine furniture in the condo.
