We had a great long weekend! The location was absolutely perfect! Property was just as described. It would be just right if youâre coming with kids - they have everything to suit the needs of a small family! Not ideal for 6 adults maybe (we ran short on glasses every day), but overall I definitely recommend this Property!
We had a wonderful stay. The location with walking distance to great restaurants? Coffee shop,hotel restaurant and bar and cool shops was a huge plus. Check in and out was a breeze and the property was probably the most well stocked condo we have ever rented. There is so much to do in Buena Vista. We can't wait to come back.
This is our 2nd time to stay at "Beat the Heat" on South Main in Buena Vista. We love that area and we love staying at Amanda's place. Always easy to work with, always clean and updated. Always a relaxing, joyful time with our family. Legit 5 stars!
Such a great location and comfortable home. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort in the upkeep. They were very prompt responding to snow removal on slippery steps which was very appreciated. The coffee bar was such a great touch.
You really canât beat the amenities or the location of this place. The bed is so incredibly comfortable, the coffee station was lovely, and thereâs a ton of space to spread out. And South Main in BV is magical. Great shops, food and drinks are all just a stoneâs throw away â as is the cities network of trails around the river. Weâll be back!
Great stay at this South Main property. Clean, quiet, and comfortable place next to the Arkansas river, dining options, and great access to Colorado's playground.
It was so nice to be here again. Shane and Amanda are great hosts, and willing to jump in and help with even the oddest requests (eg., how to solve for an Amazon delivery that got caught up at the local post office). We've stayed here before, and we'll stay here again. Awesome property!
This home has everything you could ever need. My teenagers played chess and checkers, my husband went fly fishing and we were right next door to a great food at the Eddy line brewery. We walked to the surf hotel and listen to live music as well as walked down East Main to the shops and restaurants. We loved our time there and I would highly recommend this beautiful place.

We enjoyed the property, well equipped and great location. However almost every other house in the area had a porch. Buena Vista in summer is a place to spend as much time as possible outdoors. There was no front porch in the pictures and because of that, we assumed there would probably be one on the back of the house. Sorry.
That was our only disappointment.
This was a terrific place to stay. It was incredibly clean. The only suggested adjustment...it's pretty normal to not have AC at the higher elevations in CO. But if you're not going to have AC, please at least place screens on the windows so that at night the cool air can circulate through the house without bugs. Some nights it was a bit like camping given the bugs. Honestly, though, that is the only non positive comment, as the home was so clean, new, beautiful, well-stocked, everything worked, and it was incredibly convenient. We would stay here again, and we likely will. We'll be a lot happier with window screens! Thank you!
Our stay was excellent! Perfect for families traveling with young kids as theirs a high chair, pack and play and toys. Location is fantastic as were the beds and touches in the bathroom. Very clean!! Overall 5 stars, however it is in fact not 3 bedrooms as listed. This was in part our fault as we filtered listings by 3 bedrooms (the house shows up as it is listed this way) and did not look at the pictures close enough. The âthird bedroomâ is actually a pull out in the living room. So for accuracyâs sake it has two bedrooms, four beds. This was unfortunate for us since two family members had to end up staying somewhere else since they needed an actual bedroom. The stay was so wonderful and because it was partly an overlook on our ends, we still give it 5 stars! Will not work for people needing 3 bedrooms, but does work if all you need is an extra bed.
We enjoyed our stay in BV! The location was super walkable and we enjoyed doing the river loop hike and fly fishing on the river. The townhouse had everything we needed and we very much appreciated the game closet!
We stayed at the Riverhouse Retreat for a quick getaway weekend. The house is beautifully and well appointed. Our family was super comfortable and it was so helpful that the unit was child friendly and had a high chair, baby gate etc. It was super easy to walk to everything BV has to offer. We will definitely stay again.
We had a great stay at Amandaâs place! The home was so clean, spacious, and had all of the kitchen supplies we could ever want. Itâs walkabale to Main St and a great spot to explore. Had an awesome time and would definitely recommend!
This house was a great home base for our recent winter holiday trip. Skiing at Monarch in the morning, soaking in several different hot springs in the afternoon, then great food and drinks in the evening. The house is well-built and laid out conveniently for a family with children. The adults can hang out late downstairs without any risk of waking the kids. And it even came stocked with tons of games and toys! The hosts answered our few questions promptly. The kitchen is well stocked with quality items. Weâll be booking again in the summer to explore the area more.
We are Shane and Amanda Glazier. Shane and his family have been visiting this area of the mountains since he was born! Now, we are carrying on the tradition with our kids.
We enjoy everything from hiking, mountain biking, surfing the river, and climbing to relaxing at Mount Princeton Hot Springs, feeding the chipmunks at St. Elmo and feeding the trout at the Chalk Cliff Fish Hatchery.
We adore Buena Vista and can't wait to hear about your adventures in this quaint, unique mountain town.
Thanks so much for choosing us and we hope to welcome you back soon!
