Ultimate Privacy w/ Spa & Unbeatable Views
Are you looking for peace and quiet in a private setting that is away from the city buzz, yet close to town and all the outdoor adventures?
The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat has you covered.
The home sits on 4 acres and backs up to a conservation easement, making it feel like the entire valley is yours. Wake up to the best coffee in the valley while taking in unobstructed views of Mt. Princeton and Cottonwood Pass. Treat yourself. Enjoy the private hot tub with the best views in the valley!
The home was completely remodeled by the hosts in 2021 to include all new flooring, new cabinets, granite countertops, LG kitchen appliances, fully finished garage, tiled showers, new ceiling fans, LED lights throughout, and much more.
BEDROOMS There are three private bedrooms in the home. Each bedroom offers a sound machine, night light, and USB/USB-C ports. They all have a smart Roku TV. Please note that we do not offer streaming services, but all apps are available for use with your own account.
Bedroom 1 is the master suite. It has a King bed with an en suite bathroom. The King bed has a Tuft & Needle memory foam mattress with a memory foam topper. This is ultimate comfort.
Bedroom 2 has a Queen bed with a Tuft & Needle memory foam mattress and a memory foam topper. In the closet, you will find a Twin rollaway bed and extra blankets.
Bedroom 3 has a Full bed and a Twin bed. Both beds have a memory foam mattress for very comfortable sleeping. In the closet, you will find a 2-in-1 compact playard with an optional bassinet for your little one as well as a few toys and books.
BATHROOMS Both bathrooms are supplied with bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, makeup towels, and a hair dryer. Travel size shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, lotion, and makeup wipes are provided in each bathroom. The showers in both bathrooms have a rainfall shower head because once you use a rainfall shower head, you'll never want anything else.
KITCHEN We love to cook, so you will have access to all the cooking essentials! The kitchen is stocked with silverware, plates, bowls, glasses, coffee cups, and wine glasses. It also has pots, pans, slow cooker, blender, coffee grinder, strainers, mixing bowls, and more. We have you covered for the small miscellaneous items such as all the openers for wine, bottles and cans. We also supply a half pound bag of organic coffee from our local shop, The Buena Vista Roastery! If you're bringing a little one, we have a high chair available.
LIVING ROOM Enjoy maximum comfort with leather sofas, throw blankets and pillow, lamps, and the best view of Mount Princeton and Cottonwood Pass out the picture windows. Then watch your favorite show on the 65" smart Roku TV with sound bar. Most houses in the valley do not have air conditioning because summers do not get warm enough to justify them. We have installed a *NEW* seasonal air conditioning unit in the living room for the rare days that air conditioning is desired.
LAUNDRY ROOM You will have access to a full-size LG washer and dryer. We provide scent-free laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The room is also equipped with an iron, ironing board, clothes basket, mop, floor cleaner, broom, vacuum, and first aid kit.
GARAGE (GAME ROOM/GYM) The garage is fully insulated with a *NEW* commercial grade heater that warms the place up like you're hanging out indoors. In the garage, there is a fitness area equipped with a stationary bike, pull-up bar, dumbbells (5-25 lbs), kettlebells (10-50 lbs), medicine balls, and more. The game area has a pool table, foosball table, *NEW* shuffleboard table, a board game table, corn hole boards, and an additional fridge.
EXTERIOR The interior of the home is amazing, but let's be honest. It's the views and the privacy that make The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat the ultimate getaway. Enjoy the 6-person HotSprings spa for ultimate relaxation after a day of exploring the valley. Because Buena Vista sits at approximately 8,000 feet, the evenings can be cool all year round. This makes for perfect soaking conditions.
Hot tub not your thing? The backyard also has a private horseshoe pit, 4 polywood Adirondack chairs, a swinging bench, and a 6-person dining table for the warmer months. We also offer a Weber gas grill with provided propane and utensils. Enjoy the views of Mt. Princeton and Cottonwood Pass in one of the many seating options. Do yourself a favor and book The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat during a new moon. On a clear night, you may be lucky enough to see the best view of The Milky Way of your life.

This location is fantastic, panoramic views of the collegiate peaks and valley and we were only 5 minutes away from the Charlotte hotsprings. The game room provided us with nonstop activities while in the property and the kitchen and grill were great—there’s an extra fridge in the garage as well!Very responsive host and very easy check-in/out instructions. A peaceful and beautiful stay, we would be happy to come back again.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Communication with the host was easy and they were very responsive and accommodating! My kids loved the game room and hung out in there a lot. Location was great for everything we were doing in BV. The view can not be beat we really couldn't ask for more.
We loved the game room (nice garage conversion) and great views of the collegiate peaks out back from the hottub. Good hub to adventure around everything in Chaffee county in 45 min or less!
The views from this property are top notch. Our kids loved the snacks and hats left by the hosts. All the amenities you will ever need. Even local coffee grinds, which we loved. We took in an amazing star show from the hot tub.
Very clean and updated home with a soaring view of Mt. Princeton and surrounding area. Hot springs are just down the road so, bring your swimsuit. Again, very clean and very tidy. Kitchen was very well organized.
Centrally located in the Arkansas Valley, just minutes out of Buena Vista, this home was clean and we-appointed. And the view..... PHENOMENAL! We loved how close to ATV trails, hot springs, hiking, 4-wheeling this stay was, plus a hot tub for relaxing at the end of our day.
The views of the mountains were stunning, and the stars were amazing at night from the hot tub! We had so much fun hanging out, biking, hot tubbing, and play pool in the rec room they created in the garage. An amazing place to stay!
Everything was perfect for our family. The views were breathtaking. The house was clean and had everything we need for our stay. Communication was easy and prompt. Will definitely recommend to family and friends and be back for another visit!
My children and I had an amazing stay at this rental! Everything was as expected or better! The property was extremely clean and comfortable and the owners thought of everything one might want or need for a getaway! I highly recommend them!
What an incredible experience we had and GNAR ranch. It was just far enough outside BV - very quiet and tons of breathtaking views and wildlife. Better than anything you can watch on Netflix. I highly recommend this home.
This was a delightful property and pretty much exactly as advertised. Very well equipped and the views were spectacular. Far enough out so you felt that you were "away" but close enough to town to get whatever you might need
This was a perfect house for our family. We had everything we needed. The host even had shampoo, conditioner, lotion and bar soap in both bathrooms; a really nice and appreciated touch! The hot tub with the view of Mount Princeton was incredible. A quick 7 minute drive to town and main Street with great restaurants. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Ashley!
Exactly as pictured. Just the right size for 3 adults and 1 child. So quiet. Woke up to antelope in the field, mule deer and bluebirds. LG appliances throughout. Excellent instruction binder. Recommend!
We've stayed at many VRBO rentals. This 1 is definitely in the top 5! This home sits where you can see the beautiful mountains all around you. View is breathtaking! What we loved about the home: Inviting, newly built, peaceful location, well equipped, large game room for all ages to play & exercise, 3 bdrs, comfy leather couches, hot tub, nice outdoor area, near 2 hotsprings, easy check-in, thoughtful owners, & good communication!
This was our first trip to Buena Vista- we travel to Colorado every year. We love the mountains, so this property seemed to meet our needs. Once we arrived, we were so impressed with the cleanliness and attention to detail by the owners. The view can’t even be described- you MUST be there to fully appreciate the unobstructed view from the backyard. We enjoyed every second of our stay. It’s far enough to be away from everything and enjoy the stars at night, see wildlife, and gaze at the mountains from the hot tub. It’s also a short drive to everything in town. We drove to the hot springs at Mt. Princeton and to Salida as well. We highly recommend staying here.
This property is exactly as described and pictured! The hot tub view of the mountains is spectacular! The house is gorgeous top to bottom! The house was super clean. Beds were comfortable. The property is situated just on the edge of town so it's convenient to get two things but secluded enough to relax & unwind. The hosts are wonderful at communicating (although there was nothing we needed).
I really wish we could have stayed the weekend & went the cute little drive-in theater down the road. Next time!!!
GNAR Ranch - AMAZING!! Hated to leave but we’ll be back.
House itself was recently updated and well cleaned as described. Better than we expected. The atmosphere is why we’ll be back. The garage game/exercise room had new or well kept equipment and games. But the views!!! Mountains in the daylight and stars at night. Saw a falling star while enjoying the hot tub. Not enough space to tell about all the great experiences. Thanks for sharing your home with us. SO we’ll worth it.
Beautiful home with fantastic view! Everyone in our group slept like babies on the most comfortable beds. Made breakfast and dinner each day. The open living area and large bar made it really easy for everyone to assist in meal prep. After dinner lots of time spent playing games and pool in the game room. Was looking forward to using the hot tub after our outings but it seemed to have a pump issue. Host notified and repairman sent. Unfortunately, not able to repair in time before we had to leave. Host did compensate us on the rate which was appreciated. Hope to return to Buena Vista again soon and will certainly try to book the home again.
