    Very clean, spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Amazing setting/view. The host, Joe, was very friendly, helpful, personable and welcoming. We enjoyed his stories and background info about thr cabin. The cabin was such a great travel experience and perfect for relaxing and soaking up that Colorado feel! And, not too far a drive from our home. Loved it. Highly recommend!

    The owner, Joe, was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was modern, spacious, and very well equipped. Two bathrooms. Tons of storage. Close to downtown Buena Vista, but in the country. The cabin (really a decent-sized house) was spacious, modern, clean and comfortable.

    The owners lived here when building their house next door…. So, it feels like a homeKitchen has everything and great appliances Little nook for a desk was perfect … has paper, pencils, envelopes, binoculars Bed is fantasticPlace is spotlessLocation perfectYou can hear the river out back and see it if you go out to the chairs.Even tho the owners are right there… you look at the back of their garage and you have plenty of privacy. The owners are very nice!The internet is a little slow… but once Netflix loads… it all works I’d definitely stay here again!

    Me and my group of 6 total stayed at Cody’s house on Big Lake this past weekend and had the best time. The house is cute and feels like a true lake house. It has everything you would need from a grill to kitchen supplies and we absolutely love the bonfire in the backyard. Being able to rent the boat was a major perk and we spent all day out on it for one of our days there. Cody is responsive and super helpful for any of your needs. Overall we had the best time and would definitely return! Would highly recommend
