Lovely home central to everything

This charming home was exactly what my daughter and I wanted for a relaxing weekend. The house has plenty of space but still feels cozy and warm. It is stocked with everything - fully equipped kitchen, plenty of blankets, wifi, etc. Its proximity to all the good stuff - hiking, skiing, hot springs - made it the perfect place to stay. Michelle was easy to communicate with and generous in her flexibility. I highly recommend this home!

Sweet little gem!

The place is cozy and comfortable, the decor is a step back in time and tastefully done! The host, Michelle and her right hand Brook were both on top of any questions or concerns and very kind! Everything was very well stocked, organized and labeled! Great old vinyl collection and so many cool things, and the location was as good as you can get! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your place!

Wonderful Old Fashioned Cottage

Staying in this quaint little cottage was going back in time and visiting my grandmother house, but with all the modern updates! The cottage was quiet, clean and very homey. We especially enjoyed the heated mattress warmers! We highly recommend this property!

The house is so cozy and walking distance to the historic downtown. We had a wonderful time and were able to go to Cottonwood and Mount Princeton Hot Springs. Both are minutes away. We celebrated Christmas and the host had a Christmas tree up for us . tree us

Great location and accommodation!

We loved how close and walkable the house was to everything in Buena Vista! The house is well stocked, clean, and in such a nice setting. We really enjoyed just sitting in the backyard enjoying the weather and observing all the mule deer roam around. Would love to stay again!

Lovely house!

My funny husky and I stayed there this week. He loved the fenced yard and the neighbors, who we met when the dogs decided to get to know one another. The house was beautifully furnished and super comfortable. We absolutely loved our stay.

Perfect "throwback" experience!!

So many interesting details in this quaint, 1800's cottage. We especially enjoyed browsing the antiques and the vinyl collection. And, the backyard hangout was perfect! We were having such a good time, we almost didn't want to leave the house. The cottage is bigger than it looks, but only one (nice!) bathroom (original look and feel but felt newly installed). Comfortably slept me and my husband and our two adult sons. Very easy walk to park/pond and downtown shops and restaurants. Hosts were extremely responsive and very accommodating! Thank you for the stay!!

A very nice place to stay

I really enjoyed the home. The location is very convenient and the home itself is in great condition and very well stocked. The only thing I couldn't find was a can opener... The yard is very nice and I liked being able to cook my meals on the gas grill. I enjoyed learning the history of the house and taking advantage of some of the more "vintage" features of the home, including the sound system with the record collection. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others looking for a comfortable place in a great mountain town.

Interesting, historic home a block from the BV stoplight.

This is a really unusual house, built in 1879 and lived in for 60 years by a schoolteacher known to all of the older residents of BV. Despite its age, the house is comfortable and well-appointed, at least for our June weeklong stay. We’ve stayed in many VRBO’s in BV over the years, but this one is special. Would love to go back sometime.

Amazing Property - When the Roof is not Being Replaced

The Roman Home is an amazing property with excellent touches throughout the house. The history of the home and its occupants was amazing to read. This would have been the perfect property had not the people replacing the roof been on site Friday when we arrived, returned Saturday morning for a while, had sawhorses, lumber and other equipment in the yard and the front fence taken apart. I think communication before we arrived letting us know what was going on and giving us the chance to cancel or reschedule would have been appropriate.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Dieleman

Host profile image
We are from Grand Rapids, Michigan and were born and raised there. We have four adult children and two granddaughters. We came to Buena Vista because our friends own a vacation home here, and we fell in love with the town, the mountains, and the people. We also immediately fell in love with this house when we first saw it and realized it was for sale.
We plan on using this home for a retirement getaway and consider it our home away from home already.

Why they chose this property

This home is so full of charm, history, and character, and is located in such a beautiful setting and quaint little town that we couldn't resist the opportunity to live here. It's just an amazing place!!!

What makes this property unique

Being close to the Cottonwood Hot Springs, close to the town, close to the mountains and the Arkansas River. You'll also enjoy seeing all the wildlife.
