The Inn Between is an exceptional custom built handcrafted log home on 5 private acres surrounded by the Collegiate Peaks; just a few minutes from the town of Buena Vista in the nationally renowned Arkansas River Valley of Colorado.

As you enter the cabin you are greeted with the views of Mt. Princeton through the floor to ceiling windows. Massive logs support the towering two-story living area. The main floor is roomy with a well equipped kitchen, dining room, great room, two bedroomsand full bathroom. The second floor master suite has its own deck, full bath with 2 person shower, and a deep soaking tub with great window views. The ground floor has an extra family room, bedroom and full bathroom. The upstairs loft has a full size washer and dryer. All bedrooms have a queen bed and the downstairs bedroom also has a bunkbed.

All rooms have incredible views and furnishings are high quality western living styles. The deck provides a gathering area after a long day of hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking, rafting, fishing, or climbing 14,000 foot mountains. The great room has a 55” smart TV and the family room has a 65 smart TV. There is cable TV, blue ray, and Xbox. Hi Speed 500 Mbps Wifi internet is provided for free.

The ground floor has a full bath with walk-in shower, theater room with 7.2 surround system, and 4th bedroom with one queen bed and a twin bunk bed. It comes with heated floors, 9 foot ceilings, and numerous windows looking south to Mount Princeton and the foothills of Mt. Yale.

The Inn Between sits on 5 acres at the base of Mount Yale. This unique location is close to town, yet in a secluded setting. At night, from the comfort of your own hot tub, the Milky Way stretches across the heavens, and if you are lucky, there will be shooting stars “raining fire in the sky”. There is a 1/2 mile nature trail surrounding the property that winds through the numerous Pinion and Ponderosa pine trees. Mule Deer and Elk may wander thru during your visit.

Buena Vista is the center of Arkansas River activities in the valley but also offers hours of entertainment and local interest. Shopping, dining, golf, river walks, and an engineered kayak park will keep you entertained. Try your luck at the River Park Frisbee golf course and technical climbing rocks. Adjacent to the cabin is the entrance to the Cottonwood Pass road, while the Colorado Trail passes within a mile of home.

Visitors can enjoy short drives to historic Leadville to the north and 'artsy' Salida to the south. Summer activities include hiking & biking the fourteeners, high alpine meadows and cascading rivers, whitewater rafting, fishing the Arkansas or in the high mountain lakes with plenty of spaces to explore. During summer months, the town of Aspen makes a wonderful day trip where the trip itself over Independence Pass is part of the attraction. Winter visitors bring your snowshoes, skis, and sleds for the kids! Ski areas such as Monarch and Ski Cooper are less than 1 hour away, and Breckenridge, Vail and Summit County are about 1.5 hours away. Salida offers live theater at the Steamplant and lots of unique art galleries.

It is hard to beat this wonderful place to get away and enjoy the peace of the mountains and gaze at the stars after a great day outdoors. Sit on the deck and read in the sun, or soothe your muscles in the hot tub at the end of an adventurous day.

For security there are outdoor cameras at the front door and garage.

Buena Vista is truly a great place to visit at the base of the Collegiate Peaks Range whether it is summer or winter or Inn Between!

    Buena Vista and Salida are now at the top of my list for Colorado destinations. Nothing like it, and this house helps you maximize all of it. Just outside the downtown Buena Vista town (4 minutes), this house is nestled at the base of the massive mountains in the background. The property is incredible and unique. The crush-and-run driveway is opulent and provides a high-end welcome. The gameroom provided our family not only two spirited game nights, but a surround-sound viewing experience to watch the latest episode of our favorite TV show, Survivor. The bedrooms were nice, the kitchen well-stocked with a high-end cooking surface (pancakes and griddle also there). The master was amazing and spacious (the entire upstairs floor). Wash/Dryer there, too, to wash clothes after outdoor excursions. The star of the show, though, was the hottub and the absolutely stunning starry skies unpolluted by city lights. In fact, I thought 9pm skies were beautiful, but one clear morning, I went out at 5am and could not believe the brightness of the stars. Amazing experience. The garage entry is really nice, too, for those colder mornings/evenings. Our Ford Expedition Max fit perfectly in there. This is a home I absolutely will revisit. Has the amenities and location anyone wanting to visit Buena Vista, Nathrop o Salida need.

    This property is very clean, updated, and spacious. The main floor is a perfect place to hang out. You have the kitchen, deck, grill, hot tub, and hearth room all on that floor. Then you have a fun game room in the basement, and an elite master bedroom upstairs. There are hiking trails all over the 4 acre property, a spot for a camper with a 30 amp socket, a garage, and tons of outdoor parking. We loved it! We'll be back.

    We stayed here with our 4 kids and grandmother, and it was simply wonderful. The property is absolutely perfect, but the host really made it so pleasant. The host communicated early and offered lots of helpful information for our stay, which really helped us plan. The home is very thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, down to details like makeup remover wipes, Kleenex and lotion to help with the dry air. Light switches are labeled so you never have to wonder how to turn on/off lights. There's no AC but with the windows open at night, it was so dark, quiet and cool. The home is convenient to town, but secluded and private. Beds are comfy and linens are quality. Views are amazing and we enjoyed the walk on the property. I honestly don't have any criticism and would definitely stay here again. We have rented many homes and this is by far one of the best experiences.
