Nice vacay in Bueny

We enjoyed our stay in this little house. Sort of like staying at grandma's and a nice yard for our little dog. Close enough to town to walk and close to the park to cool off. Could use some upgrades as far as beds a bit lumpy but for a few nights stay was ok. No air conditioning but several fans helped to cool it off. A great little vacation for us and would recommend.

Awesome Place!

Check in was super easy. Communication with owner was personalized. Both owner and property manager responded quickly. It was a great space for my husband and I, and our dog as well. Very well stocked too. We love Buena Vista and go there often, would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Thanks!

Wonderful home and experience

This property was absolutely lovely. Close to Mount Princeton as well as Cottonwood hot springs, so I could not have asked for a better location. You can walk to several restaurants as well. The decorations and living areas were really excellent. It was marvelously appointed and I was really able to feel at home with my family. We were able to cook and keep up with laundry. Very very happy with the experience.

Comfy Vintage,Victorian Home

My husband and I loved our stay in this beautiful Victorian home. It was clean, spacious with a large fenced in yard which our Yorkiepoo thoroughly enjoyed. The amenities included a washer/dryer which was great to have. Michelle was a great host and easy to communicate with. The neighbor was also very friendly. We plan to return to Buena Vista and stay in this quaint, charming comfortable Victorian home!

Amazing Property - When the Roof is not Being Replaced

The Roman Home is an amazing property with excellent touches throughout the house. The history of the home and its occupants was amazing to read. This would have been the perfect property had not the people replacing the roof been on site Friday when we arrived, returned Saturday morning for a while, had sawhorses, lumber and other equipment in the yard and the front fence taken apart. I think communication before we arrived letting us know what was going on and giving us the chance to cancel or reschedule would have been appropriate.

Just as Described!

This is a cute, quaint home in downtown Buena Vista. It was well cleaned and inviting with nice period decor and furnishings. The property is well within walking distance to shops and restaurants in town. It is located on a very busy, noisy street, but has a fully fenced yard to safeguard pets and children. For summer stays, expect it to get very hot inside ~80 degrees particularly in the rear of the home due to a flat roof in that section. The owner has provided a lot of fans to help cool it off at night. There are a lot of windows too to help with cooling. We we’re generally able to get it cooled down enough to sleep by 11pm. We would definitely stay again, but likely not in the hot summer months. Thanks for providing your cute home!

Charming and conveniently located

We really enjoyed our stay! It’s so rare to find an affordable, pet friendly, clean, and cute rental these days. Our dogs loved running around in the yard, being able to bring them made our stay 10x more enjoyable. It was really special to read about the history of the house. We were so close to town we were able to walk to the wedding we were attending and to check out the local shops. I would definitely recommend staying here. My only small critique is that my partner and I found the bed to be rather uncomfortable. Overall it was a great stay and very memorable!

Lovely home central to everything

This charming home was exactly what my daughter and I wanted for a relaxing weekend. The house has plenty of space but still feels cozy and warm. It is stocked with everything - fully equipped kitchen, plenty of blankets, wifi, etc. Its proximity to all the good stuff - hiking, skiing, hot springs - made it the perfect place to stay. Michelle was easy to communicate with and generous in her flexibility. I highly recommend this home!

Sweet little gem!

The place is cozy and comfortable, the decor is a step back in time and tastefully done! The host, Michelle and her right hand Brook were both on top of any questions or concerns and very kind! Everything was very well stocked, organized and labeled! Great old vinyl collection and so many cool things, and the location was as good as you can get! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your place!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Dieleman

Host profile image
We are from Grand Rapids, Michigan and were born and raised there. We have four adult children and two granddaughters. We came to Buena Vista because our friends own a vacation home here, and we fell in love with the town, the mountains, and the people. We also immediately fell in love with this house when we first saw it and realized it was for sale.
We plan on using this home for a retirement getaway and consider it our home away from home already.

Why they chose this property

This home is so full of charm, history, and character, and is located in such a beautiful setting and quaint little town that we couldn't resist the opportunity to live here. It's just an amazing place!!!

What makes this property unique

Being close to the Cottonwood Hot Springs, close to the town, close to the mountains and the Arkansas River. You'll also enjoy seeing all the wildlife.
