Quiet, Cozy Slice of Paradise
Everything was exceptional about the stay, from interacting with Joe to settling into the custom log home. The property is beautiful and provides amazing views out of the two story windows facing the river. It was well-appointed, too, with high-end appliances and tasteful decor. It was cold during our stay, so we utilized the fireplace quite a bit and stayed toasty. A great experience overall!

No complaints whatsoever, the owner/manager very personable and responsive. Property is beautiful and our stay was perfect. One suggestion would be to have 2 luggage racks available.

Beautiful Cabin
The cabin is beautiful, fresh and immaculate. It is decorated like a home (it was the owners home for a while). First class furnishings, appliances, and decor. The Arkansas River runs right behind the property and it is beautiful. We’ll be back in the future.

Riverside Charm
This beautiful cabin is a quiet refuge in the beautiful Buena Vista valley. Located just outside of town beside the Arkansas River, it has easy access to the river and all the multiple recreation options available in the area. Joe was readily available for any needs. I hope to return for another stay in the future.

Bear Tracks - ideal spot in Buena Vista
Looking for a place to be close to all the great outdoor offerings of Buena Vista and the surrounding area - but want a peaceful retreat - then Bear Tracks is a great choice. Know that Joe will make you feel welcome and make sure you are well informed about your stay - and just a phone cal away if you need anything. The cabin is new and well situated 5 minutes from town and 50 yards from the river. Everything you need is in the cabin, sparkling clean and ready for your stay.

Spacious, new, well-appointed
The log cabin looks "rustic" but everything is new and first-class. Beautiful view out the big windows overlooking the canyon and river. Very relaxing. Close to town but very quiet and secluded. I wish I'd booked a longer stay.

Buena Vista cabin of dreams
I stayed in this cabin for 3 days it was a wonderful place to unwind, the cabin is very clean and spacious for it’s size. The property manager was awesome, if any problems or concerns ( which there wasn’t) arose he was a phone call away. The cabin is very conveniently located to town, the Arkansas River is steps away from back door. This is one of if not the most wonderful cabin I have ever stayed in. I only gave it 5 stars because that’s as high a you can rate it, but this beautiful cabin will have you reaching for all the stars.

Perfect little cabin
The listing for this cabin is spot on. It was definitely a home away from home! The minute you walk into the door it’s beautiful and serene! It has all the comforts of home. It is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, towels, etc. The bed is very comfortable and linens very soft and comfy. We saw wildlife every morning and in the nights we got back around sunset they were there as well! Communication with Joe was very easy. Any questions or concerns he was a phone call away. We only had to call him the day we got there for check in info. Everything else was perfect and we had no issues. I would definitely recommend thus little cabin to anyone looking for something close to town and for the comfort! Also, the Arkansas River runs right by the house. Maybe a 50 yard walk to get to the river. It’s gorgeous even in the winter. Perfect views of mountains. If you’re thinking about a place don’t look any further. Thank you Joe and Robin for your hospitality and generosity! We look forward to staying here again! Happy New Year! MeLissa & Brian Hopkins

Beautiful cabin, but...
It is listed as "on the river" which it is, but it is nearly impossible to get to the river. It is also located across from the State Pen, that made us more than a bit nervous.
