Great little place close to Buena Vista

This was a super cute, clean little place to stay! They have all the amenities we needed and it was easy to get checked in. The back porch area overlooks the river, which is really nice. If you are planning to fish or actually go down to the river, it is definitely more like a 15 minute hike down a pretty steep hill. It is only a 7 or 8 minute drive to downtown Buena Vista.

Perfect home base

Thoughtfully furnished and nicely equipped. Everything was super clean. Wish we could have figured out how to leave each morning without upsetting the neighbors' dogs. They bark loudly, but seem friendly enough.

The location is convenient but not the prettiest place. If you're just using it to sleep and plan to be away all day, its fine. The unit is neat and clean and very useful. The bed could stand to be improved. Overall it met our needs and worked well.
