About this property

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 (included with stay) 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 SPACE
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.

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 do not provide perishable items such as salt, pepper, and oil. However, we do supply a bag of organic coffee from our local shop, The Buena Vista Roastery. Please ask if you have specific cooking needs.

BEDROOMS
There are three private bedrooms in the home. Each bedroom is equipped with 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. There is a clothes bar for your use as the closet is needed for our cleaning team.

Bedroom 2 has a Queen bed with a Tuft & Needle memory foam mattress and a memory foam topper.

Bedroom 3 has a Full bed and a Twin bed. Both beds have a memory foam topper for very comfortable sleeping. We also have a 2-in-1 compact playard with bassinet & playpen for your little one.

BATHROOMS
Both bathrooms are supplied with bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. Additionally, we provide travel size shampoo, conditioner, body soap, lotion, and makeup wipes in each bathroom. In the master bathroom, you will find a hair dryer in the vanity drawers. The showers in both bathrooms have a rainfall shower head because once you use a rainfall shower head, you'll never want anything else.

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 a mop, floor cleaner, broom and vacuum.

GARAGE (GAME ROOM/GYM)
The garage is fully insulated, but it is still a garage. We have a space heater in there, but it can be quite chilly when it's freezing outside. 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, a board game table, and additional seating.

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 4 Adirondack chairs, a swinging bench, and a 6-person dining table for the warmer months. We also offer a 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.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat is in a safe, quiet, and rural setting. It is one of the last homes on County Road 339 with the next door neighbor almost one mile away. This neighbor also happens to sell farm fresh eggs during the warmer months that are absolutely delicious. If you choose to walk to the farm, it is very peaceful and contains breathtaking views of Mt. Princeton and the Collegiate Peaks.

Our neighbors are super friendly, clean the home, and help us take care of it while we are away.

There is parking for large vehicles, trucks and RVs at The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat. Please message us for details of parking boats or RVs while staying on the property.

GUEST INTERACTION
We provide a contactless check-in with a smart lock.

We have partners in the area that are available should any hands-on issues need to be addressed. Otherwise, we are available through the platform's messaging software to answer any questions regarding the home and local area.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Guests will not have access to the wood-burning stove, wood shed, or barn.

We do not offer a fire pit due to the dry climate and high winds. We appreciate your understanding.

We have the best internet in Buena Vista, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. While it is typically very fast, occasional outages arise from the cold winters, high winds, tower upgrades, and thunderstorms. Mountain living!

The maximum occupancy limit is 6 guests. Additional guests are accommodated on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the owners for exceptions. If unapproved additional guests are discovered at the property during a stay, the renter will be evicted from the property immediately, charged $250 per guest per night, and will not receive a refund for the remainder of their stay. If the additional guests are not discovered until after the renter leaves, the renter will be charged $250 per guest per night.

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.

Centrally located for all sorts of fun

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.

We were celebrating friends turning 40 and 50.

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!

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!

Amazing Views!

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.

Perfect in every way!

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 and view

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Robinson

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Ashley, and I co-host The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat with my husband, Mason. We met at an Air Force base in Northern California while I was in the Air National Guard. Mason had recently left the Army and was working as a contractor in my same career field. Together, we entered the rental business almost immediately after getting together. After spending a few years in Auburn, California we decided we wanted a change. We landed in Buena Vista for its whitewater kayaking, mountain biking, and skiing. We lived in The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat for 6 months while we completed a full renovation of the home. Life has moved us back to California, so we decided to rent out our dream home, The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat, while we are away. We hope you enjoy the area and home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because we wanted it all. Privacy, seclusion, and all of the outdoor activities. When you stay at The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat, you are within 10 minutes of nearly every outdoor activity you can imagine. Whitewater rafting Browns Canyon, hiking the Colorado Trail, ascending a 14er, mountain biking, fly fishing, rock climbing, and so much more.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property due to its unobstructed views of Mt Princeton, which is arguably one of the best in the Valley. The Buena Vista Mountain Retreat hot tub provides incredible relaxation and star-gazing opportunities. The property is located on 4 acres and is just a short 5-minute drive from downtown BV, which allows for the perfect balance between convenience and privacy.
