Alex’s place was a perfect getaway for our friends birthday trip. Close to town and 15min away from Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. Highly recommend staying here!
Property has 3 queen beds in the bedrooms and a large sectional couch. Good sized backyard for your dog and one of the best views in Buena Vista. It's right off the highway, but you could barely hear traffic unless you have the windows open.Property is clean and well stocked with a breeze of a check in process and friendly owners.
It was short but sweet! Check in process was great they even let us check in a bit early which was helpful! Definitely would recommend. As advertised!!
We had two fantastic nights in The Rapid Ranch House after a week of camping up at Twin Lakes. The house was great! Everything was clean and well maintained. Each teenager had their own room, which was huge plus. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and pingpong. Highly recommend this house.
We had a great experience staying at The Rapid Ranch! Easy location in town with plenty of parking. House had all the supplies we needed. Hot tub was excellent. Had plenty of room for all of us plus our dogs. It is right off the main highway so traffic noise is a tad loud. Other than that, a great place to stay!
We were in BV for a wedding but spent three days leading up to that Fly Fishing. The property had a great location and all we needed. Very close to grocery,Fly shop, downtown BV just a few minutes away. The hot tub looks out at the marvelous view of the mountains.
The location was perfect, just out of town but close enough for a beautiful walking path and an ease to walk or drive into town. The property is kept up nicely, instructions for recycle and garbage along with water and furnace were clearly marked and all appliances worked nicely. The house was very clean and tidy and very very welcoming. Hot tub was a lovely addition to our stay and the neighborhood is quiet and well kept. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed the game room. The kitchen gadgets were helpful, coffee grinder and French press being our favorites as we enjoyed the local Brown Dog coffee roasters close by.
Nice location with good amenities. Highly recommend.

Great house!
The owner is very accommodating! The house is so cool and has just about everything you need. It’s in a great location for anything you want to do and the area is quiet with great views!
This was the perfect house for us to spend Christmas in. The location to downtown Buena Vista, as well as the surrounding areas could not have been more perfect and convenient. The views were stunning. The hot tub was an amazing addition to the home, and we loved that it was open and modern.
We had a wonderful stay. The house had everything we needed and the most fabulous views. While the back of the house sits right on a major highway, it had a nice privacy fence. We hardly noticed the traffic noise. We would definitely stay here again!
