Just what we were looking for

First, the property was very clean, which is a big deal for us. Checking in and out were easy. The house is about 20 minutes from town, but we wanted to be out in the mountains, so the drive was totally worth it. It’s in a beautiful area and we would stay there again.

Updated cabin in the woods

Everything went well when we checked in, and communicating with our host was easy. They replied very quickly to messages. My son enjoyed the small arcade downstairs and watching movies on the main level.

Beautiful, Clean Cabin

My wife and I stayed at this beautiful cabin with our dog. The place was spotless, easily the cleanest rental we've ever booked. The property is private and the surrounding area is amazingly scenic. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils needed for cooking. We stayed in the bedroom in the loft. The bed was very comfortable and the large bathroom was perfect. We stayed in November and the wood stove was easy to use and kept us very warm. We hope to stay here again in the summer to enjoy the firepit and horseshoe game.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was perfect,such a beautiful place. Not hard to get to and an easy drive home each night after adventuring all day. The sunsets were very pretty right off the deck and deer every morning. The host Terry was great to work with and if we come this way again we will definitely stay here. Thanks again for a great stay.

Peaceful Mountain Escape – A Perfect Getaway

We just returned from a wonderful vacation at this beautiful log cabin tucked back in the Colorado woods. The setting was incredibly peaceful and quiet—just what we needed to relax and recharge. The cabin was clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed.One of the special touches we appreciated was the fresh flowers in the front room when we arrived—my wife absolutely loved that. Even better, they allowed us to bring our dogs, which made the trip even more enjoyable. It’s not always easy to find pet-friendly places like this, and we’re so grateful for it.Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm, scenic, and pet-friendly getaway in the mountains.

Love the Wanderlust Chalet!!

Amazing father son trip! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The Wanderlust Chalet is in a fantastic, remote location, has every amenity you could ask for, is super clean. This place truly gives that cabin/chalet feel inside and out. The owners take amazing care of this place and we appreciated their communication and hospitality. Can’t wait to come back!

Great place in the woods!

We loved your family trip to Buena Vista and this house was great! Nice that it was remote but also easy to get into BV or drive to Salida. Would definitely recommend this house to others! We appreciated the toiletries and basic pantry items provided too! Our kids loved the old school video game and playing outside.

My friends and I had a wonderful time in the cabin, we stayed for two nights and the place was amazing with the location, the views, and the privacy. The cabin was very neat and everything worked just fine, the instructions were very accurate and helpful. The communication with the hosts was very prompt and welcoming.

2025 Spring Break

Being from Texas, we always wanted to experience, a cozy cabin in the woods and we got it with this Cabin. The scenery and drive just to get there were amazing.The Star gazing at night was breathtaking, it was cold but worth being out on the deck looking at the beautiful sky.Couple of cautions- the cabin is out there, and the nearest grocery store is about 35-40 minutes away. The elevation is high if you're not used to it and may cause you to slow down :)

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

My family and I chose this cabin for our Thanksgiving and it was literally perfect. Woke up to deer walking through the snow in the front yard, has a perfectly equipped kitchen to cook a large meal, and close enough to Buena Vista/Salida for a fun day trip while feeling like we were far out in the country. We don't have a single complaint! The stargazing out there is unbelievable and the cabin is so cozy. When we arrived, there was about 1.5 ft of snow but the driveway was plowed as well! I'd recommend this place to everyone and hope to be back soon :)
