Quiet, Cozy Slice of Paradise

Everything was exceptional about the stay, from interacting with Joe to settling into the custom log home. The property is beautiful and provides amazing views out of the two story windows facing the river. It was well-appointed, too, with high-end appliances and tasteful decor. It was cold during our stay, so we utilized the fireplace quite a bit and stayed toasty. A great experience overall!

Excellent overall

No complaints whatsoever, the owner/manager very personable and responsive. Property is beautiful and our stay was perfect. One suggestion would be to have 2 luggage racks available.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin is beautiful, fresh and immaculate. It is decorated like a home (it was the owners home for a while). First class furnishings, appliances, and decor. The Arkansas River runs right behind the property and it is beautiful. We’ll be back in the future.

Riverside Charm

This beautiful cabin is a quiet refuge in the beautiful Buena Vista valley. Located just outside of town beside the Arkansas River, it has easy access to the river and all the multiple recreation options available in the area. Joe was readily available for any needs. I hope to return for another stay in the future.
