It was a beautiful cabin, nicely decorated, and well maintained. The property was quiet and we saw lots of wildlife. My favorite part was the creek that runs just a few feet from the porch.

Our stay at the Rustic Log Cabin was spectacular! The Cabin is fully stocked and has a beautiful design. It has beautiful views of the mountains right outside your window. It’s only a few minutes to downtown Buena Vista. I highly recommend this cabin, you won’t be disappointed!

Very cool historic cabin. Peaceful, secluded location but still a quick trip to town where we found great restaurants. Beautiful views. Kitchen well stocked. Beds comfortable. Great experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Loved sitting on the deck and listening to the creek. The only issues were that two of the sliding doors didn't work, and we couldn't open the garage door to get the grill out. We worked around it all, though. Great cabin in a wonderful location.

Amazing!

This is the second time we have stayed here and once again, it did not disappoint. The house itself is so comfortable and there is plenty of room for our family of nine to spread out. The property is simply amazing. We went on walks, rode bikes, and no matter we did, our kids were always eager to get back to the creek to play. The location is convenient to town and lots of hiking. Lynne and Tracy were wonderful hosts and very responsive to anything we needed. We had an amazing vacation and hope to return again in the future!

Our family absolutely loved this house! It has the perfect layout for larger groups (we had 4 adults and 5 kids). Every morning we enjoyed coffee on the deck with stunning views of Princeton. Close to town and easily accessible to so much. I would come back to this house in BV any time! You will not be disappointed.

The property was great! The owners were so nice and checked on us to make sure everything was going okay. The driveway was snowed in, so they worked tirelessly to make sure we could get in when we arrived.

Relaxing log cabin by a stream

This property was beautiful inside and out! We enjoyed the views and sound of the creek running through. The inside is like a western museum! Very clean and comfortable. Nice beds, plenty of bathroom space and fully stocked kitchen. It’s a wonderful place to spend time.

Perfect for our family xmas gathering

My siblings and I and our spouses had a wonderful, cozy, and scenic Christmas week with my 90 year old father. Great kitchen for cooking large meals. We loved relaxing in front of the beautiful stone fireplace. Convenient to many attractions (Leadville, hot springs, Salida). But mostly just a great place to be together.

Great base for Buena Vista and the Collegiates

This was our annual outing to climb 14ers and our first time in the BV area. This was a fantastic property with the perfect location - easy access to both BV and the trailheads, while completely private and secluded. Communication with the owners was seamless, easy and very helpful. We will definitely consider coming back.
