Escape to an Extraordinary Log Home, amazing views, hot tub, secluded, tranquil

The Inn Between is an exceptional custom built handcrafted log home on 5 private acres surrounded by the Collegiate Peaks; just a few minutes from the town of Buena Vista in the nationally renowned Arkansas River Valley of Colorado.

As you enter the cabin you are greeted with the views of Mt. Princeton through the floor to ceiling windows. Massive logs support the towering two-story living area. The main floor is roomy with a well equipped kitchen, dining room, great room, two bedrooms and full bathroom. The second floor master suite has its own deck, full bath with 2 person shower, and a deep soaking tub with great window views. The ground floor has an extra family room, bedroom and full bathroom. The upstairs loft has a full size washer and dryer. All bedrooms have a queen bed and the downstairs bedroom also has a bunkbed.

All rooms have incredible views and furnishings are high quality western living styles. The deck provides a gathering area after a long day of hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking, rafting, fishing, or climbing 14,000 foot mountains. The great room has a 55” smart TV and the family room has a 65" smart TV. There is cable TV, blue ray, and Xbox. Hi Speed 500 Mbps Wifi internet is provided for free.

The ground floor has a full bath with walk-in shower, theater room with 7.2 surround system, and 4th bedroom with one queen bed and a twin bunk bed. It comes with heated floors, 9 foot ceilings, and numerous windows looking south to Mount Princeton and the foothills of Mt. Yale.

The Inn Between sits on 5 acres at the base of Mount Yale. This unique location is close to town, yet in a secluded setting. At night, from the comfort of your own hot tub, the Milky Way stretches across the heavens, and if you are lucky, there will be shooting stars “raining fire in the sky”. There is a 1/2 mile nature trail surrounding the property that winds through the numerous Pinion and Ponderosa pine trees. Mule Deer and Elk may wander thru during your visit.

Buena Vista is the center of Arkansas River activities in the valley but also offers hours of entertainment and local interest. Shopping, dining, golf, river walks, and an engineered kayak park will keep you entertained. Try your luck at the River Park Frisbee golf course and technical climbing rocks. Adjacent to the cabin is the entrance to the Cottonwood Pass road, while the Colorado Trail passes within a mile of home.

Visitors can enjoy short drives to historic Leadville to the north and 'artsy' Salida to the south. Summer activities include hiking & biking the fourteeners, high alpine meadows and cascading rivers, whitewater rafting, fishing the Arkansas or in the high mountain lakes with plenty of spaces to explore. During summer months, the town of Aspen makes a wonderful day trip where the trip itself over Independence Pass is part of the attraction. Winter visitors bring your snowshoes, skis, and sleds for the kids! Ski areas such as Monarch and Ski Cooper are less than 1 hour away, and Breckenridge, Vail and Summit County are about 1.5 hours away. Salida offers live theater at the Steamplant and lots of unique art galleries.

It is hard to beat this wonderful place to get away and enjoy the peace of the mountains and gaze at the stars after a great day outdoors. Sit on the deck and read in the sun, or soothe your muscles in the hot tub at the end of an adventurous day.

For security there are outdoor cameras at the front door and garage.

Buena Vista is truly a great place to visit at the base of the Collegiate Peaks Range whether it is summer or winter or Inn Between!

Beautiful elopement with mountain views
Maureen and Frank were kind enough to allow my husband and I to celebrate our elopement with our immediate family at their beautiful property. Despite the blizzard conditions complicating travel from the Midwest, we had the most perfect wedding day in the mountains! Communication was open and fast from the start and throughout our stay. Check in was fast and easy; we were even able to check in early. The cabin was even more beautiful than pictured, and the views of the mountains were breath taking from every angle. Everything we could have needed was provided for us during our stay. I can’t thank the hosts enough for allowing me to have the most special and memorable wedding day! Highly recommend this property!

Perfection!
My husband and I brought our three kids (ages 16, 14, and 12) here for a few nights away, and I can't say enough good things about our stay. I never wanted to leave the gorgeous deck with the incredible, peaceful view of Mt. Princeton! The hot tub was fantastic, the entire house was incredible, the game room was fun, it was spacious and clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The rock path outside was great, and the porch swing was fantastic too. The one and only thing I didn't love was that the upstairs suite doesn't have a solid door, only a thick curtain acting as the door. And the upstairs bathroom and bedroom are in one long room with no separation (thankfully the toilet does have a separate little room with a door), so it woke me up to hear my husband showering just a few feet away in the morning. Those things are easily overlooked though in light of the entire experience. The upstairs balcony was a huge bonus, and the owner was super kind and responsive when I texted her about a few different things - very willing to help! All in all, my family and I had an amazing time here, and I would go back again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! :)

Best Family Vacation
This property exceeded our expectations for our family vacation. The property was gorgeous and spacious. The views of the mountains were amazing and we enjoyed walking on the walking path. We hiked everyday and enjoyed Chalk Lake, all of which were close by. It was very nice that we could use their camp chairs and fishing rods. Maureen was easy to communicate with. This is probably our favorite rental ever.

Great for Family Reunions
This was our second stay in this unique home, and we had a great time. Two of our children and four of our grandchildren, along with my husband and me, spent some overdue quality time together. There's plenty of room to spread out and have alone time as well. The game room and the puzzles and games provided were a massive hit with the kids. The scenic views around the property, the running creek, and the nature trail were beautiful. I highly recommend this home if you're staying in Buena Vista.

This was our second time staying in this wonderful home!! Sitting on the patio(or in the hot tub) looking at the beautiful view of Mt. Princeton can’t be beat! The home is very comfortable and well equipped. Communication with owners was great too. We had easy access to town and different hiking trails. The half mile trail at the home is also well worth walking too. We will definitely stay again when we visit Buena Vista.

Just what we needed!
When planning a trip to Colorado we wanted views, relaxation, and a place for the entire family to enjoy. This place checks all the boxes. The walking path around the property was great for the kids to explore. The hot tub was a great place to unwind after a day off hiking, skiing, or horse back riding. The house itself felt like a home away from home. They have really thought of everything. Can't wait to go back!

Our new favorite vacation spot!
For our family of 5 teens, our best vacations are the ones where the home is the focal point and memories can be made. Gorgeous views, plenty of space, comfortable beds, and a great home layout. Was very sad to leave, and cannot WAIT to book this property again! Maureen was very communicative and helpful, especially during the snowstorm (shoveling and snow blowing). I am glad I trusted my gut when I saw this listing- the town has plenty to choose from in terms of food, groceries, things to do, and was an easy drive to Monarch for skiing. Love Buena Vista and the stunning views!!
