About this property
Aspen Grove - spend some time by a creek! 3 bedrooms each with private entrance
What our guest are saying, We loved our stay!!! The stream, humming birds galore, fireplace and fire pit, grill, jacuzzi and nice cabin with everything you need. We like that the main floor rooms were on opposite ends and multiple bathrooms. They are very responsive to any questions you might have and great host. I'd definitely stay again. Oh, and the beds were comfy too! Thanks for having us.

Love this cabin. The location and the property are great. I love all the deer roaming in the front and back always. The cabin has everything we could possibly need
This is the second time we have stayed here. It is a great location, appreciate the nice beds, and comfy. Love the stream that runs behind it. sounds amazing through the night. The couple that run the location have always been so nice and helpful. Also, plenty of space to have our trailer and truck and also turn around.
The location was perfect, and the backyard opened to a creek with a beautiful view. Deer around everywhere. We had everything we needed, and the host greeted us and took us on a little tour and was available for anything we might need. I would highly recommend!
It was great to get away from the Texas heat! We loved the patio and our guests the hummingbirds and the beauty of the mountains and forest. We spotted twin fawn with mom and dad mule deer. The house was quite comfortable and spacious. The kitchen could use more bake ware for casseroles and plastic containers with lids for leftovers. This is our 4th time in the Buena Vista area and it always is a memorable trip. Thank you for sharing this home!
Great location and the home is better than pictures on listing. The ambiance was terrific! Stars, hot tub, and hummingbirds were fantastic! Lots of outdoor things to do on the property if you just want to stay home. Gurgling river puts you to sleep! Trails and hot springs close by, and only 20 mins from BV. One caveat, master bedroom is not air conditioned like rest of the house, but really didn’t need it as open windows and fans kept us plenty cool. The few issues we had were resolved quickly. Hosts are very, very kind and accommodating. They even lent us their own personal chairs for fishing! Enjoyed our stay!
The listing accurately reflects the rental. It is in a great location and we enjoyed the hot tub alongside the creek.
One thing to note - I would say this place is less pet friendly and more pet tolerable. They block off the master bedroom saying pets are not allowed in it, which is a bummer if you have your pet sleep in the same room. They also require you to cover all furniture if you bring pets but do not provide sheets to do so. And they require you to vacuum before departing despite making you pay both a cleaning fee and a pet fee.
Diane and I highly recommend this property. From the owners, Brent & Diana to the beautiful location nestled between 2 mountain ranges to the abundance of wildlife to the comfortable cabin. We travel Wyoming, Montana & Idaho several times a year but this trip was our favorite. Surrounded by beautiful mountains no matter where you travel around the area. Wildlife!!! Mule deer, antelope and elk galore. It starts with drinking coffee or your adult beverage on the porch and the local mule deer will definitely invite themselves to the party. Only feet away from you, presenting awesome opportunities for close up picture. If you want unmatched beauty that will provide plenty of rest, please contact Brent & Diana! Truly, our best vacation yet.
JR & Diane
Wonderful home with nice layout and well-equipped kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub, the easy to use tv, and the location across from a wildlife viewing area. Thanks fr a great stay.
This cabin was in a wonderful location with breathtaking views. Very clean and accommodating. The hosts were very friendly and had great communication. Would definitely return!
Beautiful wooded property and really nice log cabin home with all the amenities. Enjoyed seeing deer in our front yard, and listening to the babbling creek!
Nice, comfortable, well-appointed cabin in basically perfect location. Plenty of room to spread out for the 4 of us. Hosts very much wanted us to have a good stay, and they certainly delivered.
The layout was excellent for our family of five, with three bedrooms and bathrooms. The bed configuration worked perfectly for the room with a child. Each room had direct access to the outside, allowing us to enjoy the porch with the stream flowing or watch the deer in the front yard. The location was ideal for leaf peeping in St. Elmo and accessing the 4x4 trails in the Ute Mountains.
It was perfect! Beautiful location, nice rooms, and well- equipped. We were 4 adults. It was great for games, relaxing, very close to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, and near beautiful hikes. We didn't go to the Hot Springs, because the cabin comes with an excellent hot tub, which was sparkling clean. Loved this place!
We had a great time. Loved the deer coming in the area and being so close to the viewing area. It was great to be centrally located up to the trails,to the lakes, and to the hot springs
We had a great time with our kids and grandkids while there. The place worked out perfectly and wonderful the creek was right there as our one grandson loves to fish. Hiking close by and we went white water rafting and ziplining close by as well. Great place would highly recommend.
This lovely log home sits near the gentle stream surrounded by aspen and deer. Once a private home, it is accomodating, quiet, great for groups. The nearby National Forest offers beauty and sport.
