Your suite, named after the Buffalo Peaks, offers the space to relax with your own private entrance, sitting/dining/TV room, master bedroom and bathroom. Outside your entrance are several outdoor seating areas for sunrise or sunset enjoyment and fenced yard for your dog.

For us, living here is another chapter in our individual and shared lives. We wake up every morning filled with gratitude for being able to share our lives together in this special place. We enjoy being in Nature, whether it is hiking, camping, skiing, fly-fishing for David or photography for Jamie. The adjacent BLM land, gives us and our dogs daily access to short sunset walks or longer adventures. David, finds his creative outlet in cooking, painting and renovating. Jamie’s passions are centered around her family (daughters, son-in-law, and grandchildren) and marketing for the Buena Vista Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center.

Right from the property you can hike, peak Buffalo Peaks, mountain bike, fly-fish or rock climb. Wildlife in the area include mule deer, elk, and big horn sheep. It is also an ideal setting for painting, reading or meditation. We are in the Fourmile Recreation area (BLM surrounds our home) with nearby Railroad Bridge (known for gold panning and fishing), the Midland Tunnels, Elephant and Turtle Rock, and the Arkansas River (famous for rafting, kayaking and fishing).
