One mile north is the charming town of Buena Vista, with fine dining at South Main's famous “Surf Hotel”. The space: The house is the creation of former designer and avid meditator, Cathy. Cathy and her small pup, Ananda, live on the north end of the property when she is not traveling or visiting her children in Denver. You may see Cathy and Ananda wandering on the two acres of property during your stay, but will respect your privacy. Cathy’s daughter Lindsay is your Host and is the main contact. Guest access: As the guest, you'll have access to the main house, the bicycle pump track, the south garden, and the south beach of the Arkansas River. The property has three living spaces: (1) The main house, which is where you stay as the VRBO guest. (2) A private studio attached to the north side of the main house. For an additional price, the addition of the studio can be added to your rental. (3) A separate guest house on the north of the property. This is where Cathy and her pup Ananda live. ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27130000/27130000/27129934/a876bb46.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Escape to an Extraordinary Log Home, amazing views, hot tub, secluded, tranquil Buena Vista - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 362 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=27129934&PinnedHotelID=27129934&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22280000/22270800/22270771/ffb6dc7e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 5bd Craftsman Gathering House.

Between the incredible design (thanks to the talented owner herself), art, decor, and incredible furniture, the peaceful, private setting right on the Arkansas River, and the great location 1 mile from downtown Buena Vista, this property is truly incredible. Easily the best VRBO we've ever stayed in. The owner is kind and friendly and has created the most wonderful oasis to enjoy with loved ones. Truly cannot say enough great things about our entire experience. ##### Natalie R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kammie S.

So many outdoor seating areas to accommodate every need. The kids had a blast at the river and on the awesome pump track in the front yard. The fire pit out back was perfect and seating down by the river was always a welcome escape. Cathy was right next door and promptly available for any of our questions or needs. We will be back! ##### Kammie S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison G. Sep 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Little Slice Of Heaven Cathy’s place is breathtaking. The attention to detail and design is unmatched and only upstaged by the outdoor beauty from all angles. Our family enjoyed the cozy spaces to eat together, enjoy the fire pit overlooking the River and snuggle up and just relax. We were only a mile from Buena Vista’s sweet little town with plenty of shops and eats! The river access at Cathy’s home is what really drew us in and multiple members of the family ended up doing daily cold plunges. Definitely would recommend this little slice of heaven to anybody that wants to experience the best of Colorado! ##### Alison G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa R., Los Alamos Jul 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing 40th Birthday Weekend We stayed here with friends and family for my husband's 40th birthday. The spot is beautiful inside and out. It had everything we needed and is centrally located to the town which has so much to offer. We hiked, rafted, and went to some hotsprings. At night the rest of our group joined us for yard games and telling stories around the fire pit. Only 10 peole can stay overnight on the property, but the owners worked with us to allow a bigger group during the day. It was truly ideal. Oh and the bike pump track was a huge hit. If you can bring your bike you should! We really enjoyed our stay. There is still some work going on on the outside, I can only imagine how great it will be when that is completed. ##### Vanessa R.
