    Our stay at the Rustic Log Cabin was spectacular! The Cabin is fully stocked and has a beautiful design. It has beautiful views of the mountains right outside your window. It’s only a few minutes to downtown Buena Vista. I highly recommend this cabin, you won’t be disappointed!

    The log cabin provided a quiet and convenient location for our group as we traveled between Buena Vista and Leadville. The garage space was excellent for storing bikes and the outdoor areas were great for relaxing.

    Our stay at the cabin at 3 Elk Creek was wonderful! We had 3 generations of family staying - from 60 to 1 years old - and the house was a great fit for all of us!My husband had fun exploring all the art and artifacts on the walls and shelves - so many antiques and special things to look at! We all loved that we had access to a creek and wildlife right out the back door, and saw pronghorns almost every day.The kids had fun feeding the hummingbirds and leaving sunflower seeds for the curious squirrels, and spending time on the deck and around the little creek.The house was well appointed with everything we needed, and the host and staff were very helpful! We had a death in the family and had to leave early, but our time there was memorable! We hope to return again!!

    We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Loved sitting on the deck and listening to the creek. The only issues were that two of the sliding doors didn't work, and we couldn't open the garage door to get the grill out. We worked around it all, though. Great cabin in a wonderful location.

    Very cool historic cabin. Peaceful, secluded location but still a quick trip to town where we found great restaurants. Beautiful views. Kitchen well stocked. Beds comfortable. Great experience.

    The property is INCREDIBLE. Stunning views with a lovely creek, ponds, and fun antique equipment. We saw a group of 10 pronghorn just chilling on the property, a huge jackrabbit, and an adorable woodpecker nest in the tree directly behind the property. The house itself is spacious! The kitchen is updated and well stocked with cookware. Some of the mattresses are a bit on the uncomfortable side for me but might be totally fine for others.We traveled with four adults and three kids ranging in age from 4 to 7, and everyone had a great time and plenty of room to spread out. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us!!

    Our family had a great time. Secluded log cabin hidden in a group of trees with easy access to BV. My family enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and listening to the stream.

    This is the second time we have stayed here and once again, it did not disappoint. The house itself is so comfortable and there is plenty of room for our family of nine to spread out. The property is simply amazing. We went on walks, rode bikes, and no matter we did, our kids were always eager to get back to the creek to play. The location is convenient to town and lots of hiking. Lynne and Tracy were wonderful hosts and very responsive to anything we needed. We had an amazing vacation and hope to return again in the future!
