Family Vacation to Mountains
Property is a bit older, but is well kept and clean. Neighboring homes were much closer than expected, with homes on both sides and across street in a rural neighborhood development near mountains. Property is off the beaten path, but not as “secluded” as property may advertise. No A/C at property, so did get a bit warm a couple of days during our summer stay. Home is well stocked and in quiet neighborhood. Overall, home was great for our family vacation and fit our needs.

Wonderful Home in Colorado
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The house had the perfect amount of room for a family of five. My daughters had the downstairs bedrooms and my husband and I took the upstairs. We weren't able to get the wood-burning stove working but then again we were not familiar with that kind of stove. All in all, we had a great time.

Last Minute Booking
We had to make a last minute change to our travel plans and luckily found this home was available. Home is beautiful. Location easy to access, quiet, and lovely. Beds were comfy. This is the best stocked rental I've stayed in and I would definitely stay here again. My only complaint, which is not unique to this rental, is a lack of grab bars in tub shower for the safety of elderly travelers...please consider adding. Trips to BV, St. Elmo, Independence Pass, and Salida were great fun!

Amazing mountain cabin
Really excellent stay at an amazing cabin. Somewhat secluded but also easily accessible to Buena Vista. Great views from the house. House was very well furnished and supplied. Our younger kids especially enjoyed the kinda hidden bedroom/playroom that ties in to the master bedroom. Hosts were great with communication and support. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway/Perfect for Families
We loved our stay at "Someplace Else"! It's the perfect distance from Buena Vista and Salida for half day trips with kiddos. We brought our toddler and 4 month old baby and the house was stocked with toys, pack n play, kids plates/utensils, etc. We enjoyed the nice weather by using the grill, patio, and bonfire pit for s'mores. Would highly recommend!

Lovely cabin
We had a wonderful time at this cabin! We loved the “neighborhood”, it was so quite and peaceful. My dad sat on the porch every morning and watched for wildlife (we saw elk one morning, mule deer, and some turkeys). The house was very cozy and we had everything we needed! Thanks for such a wonderful stay at your cabin!!

House with a view
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was quiet and had wonderful views. It was like home away from home , very comfortable and had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked , there was a grill outside and a really nice area to cookout and hangout outside. If we travel to Buena Vista again we would stay here again. The owner was very nice and always quick to respond to questions.

Magical place!
Plenty of room for a family of 5 with 2 teenagers and a tween. Everyone had their own room and 2 full baths helped to keep the peace! The kitchen was well stocked making food prep and cooking easy. Plenty of paper towels and toilet paper too! All the details that make the stay easy and pleasant! The house is in a quiet neighborhood with large lots. I took a walk one morning and was fortunate enough to see one of the local black bears! 15 minutes from Salida or Buena Vista make it a perfect location to visit all the cool places in Chaffee County!

Loved it so much we came back the next weekend
This is obviously a second home for the owners and is loving cared for. It has everything you need. We love the open high ceiling of the A-frame, and the little stove pumps out more than enough heat to heat the entire house. The scenery is breathtaking. Beds are comfortable. We’ll be back again.
