"Perfect getaway in Buena Vista! Super clean, cozy spot with a relaxing hot tub—
exactly what we needed. The made as you wait breakfast was a nice unexpected touch with biscuits/gravy, French toast, eggs, coffee, and orange juice. Highly recommend!"
Jake - Denver, CO
"This is easily one of my all time favorite Airbnbs! The yurts are sturdy and clean on the inside with super comfy beds, and a nice fan in case it gets too warm. The bathroom was incredibly clean (the cleanest communal bathrooms I’ve ever used!) and the amenities were awesome with really high quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. and clean towels too! And then the free breakfast every morning? Insanely good!
Great coffee, biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs, pastries, fruit. This place was amazing and we can’t wait to stay here again one day!"
Sydney - San Fransisco, CA
"This place really checked all the boxes for me and my wife. It was modern, above the river, climate controlled, friendly staff that cooked a delicious breakfast with spectacular views. After a long day hiking and playing in the mountains was fantastic to sit in the cozy hot tub and listen to the river while gazing at the stars. Bringing a s’mores basket roast on the fire was a very nice touch. Would absolutely stay here again!"
