5BR - South Main's Iconic Green Craftsman Retreat - Steps to River & Parks

Some vacation rentals are just a place to sleep. This one is where community happens.

Welcome to the South Main Gathering House — a fully loaded 5-bedroom craftsman in the heart of Buena Vista's most beloved neighborhood. Whether you're here for a family reunion, a friends' getaway, or a multi-family adventure trip, this home was built for exactly that.

DESIGNED FOR TOGETHERNESS
The open great room, kitchen, and dining area flow together so no one gets left out of the conversation. Cook together at the large island bar (seats 4), gather around the gas fireplace, or throw open the French doors to the fenced backyard for grilling and golden-hour mountain views. The gated front porch is a favorite for kids, coffee, and watching Buena Vista wake up.

🛏 FIVE BEDROOMS, EVERYONE SLEEPS WELL (sleeps 10–11)
- Primary suite: King, private bath, private balcony with mountain views
- Bedroom 2: Queen + twin bunk (great for families)
- Bedroom 3: Queen
- Bedroom 4: Full bed
- Bedroom 5: Queen
- 2 full baths upstairs + half bath on main level

🏔 THE BEST LOCATION IN SOUTH MAIN
Known as "the green and red craftsman on the right" as you enter the neighborhood, this home puts you steps from the Arkansas River whitewater park, Eddyline Restaurant & Brewery, and Buena Vista's best trails and parks. The Collegiate Peaks are right outside your window.

Raft the Arkansas. Bike the trails. Ski Monarch. Soak in the hot springs. Then come home to the porch, fire up the grill, and let the alpenglow do the rest.

We're proud of our reviews — they'll tell you everything you need to know.

It was great having a fenced yard for our dogs. The house is definitely family friendly. Our only problem was getting it cool enough in the house. The weather in Colorado was warmer than expected (not anyone's fault). There is no A/C and we couldn't figure out the system. We all brought clothes for cold and ended up buying T shirts to stay comfortable inside. I guess we could have contacted the host but since it was Christmas we didn't want to bother him. Still, I would highly recommend this house. We enjoyed our stay.

What a charming, comfortable home! Beautifully located just outside of downtown in a quiet neighborhood. Very convenient for the wedding we were attending at the Surf Hotel! The owners were very responsive and accommodating. They were even able to get us in a little early as we arrived earlier than expected! The surrounding scenery is breathtaking!

What a wonderful house!

We were visiting Buena Vista for a family wedding. Our group consisted of a multi generational group, and this house had everything we needed. We have stayed in several homes over the years, and this one was at the top of the list, kudos to the owners who anticipated our every need.

Kid-friendly and conveniently located

We had a blast in Buena Vista. The house was perfect for our extended family - six adults and four little kids under age 4. There were many kid-oriented extras that we super appreciated, like a booster seat, kid dishes, and stool for reaching the bathroom sink. We also loved the location - and easy walk to the river, playground, coffee shop etc. We’d definitely stay here again!

Amazing family vacay in Buena Vista!!

We will all (12 of us!) remember "the green house"! It provided a welcoming and spacious base for our family vacation in Buena Vista. With perfectly arranged 5 bedrooms, gourmet kitchen and fenced outdoor yard/terrace, it was the perfect home for our rambunctious group. Jeffrey the owner was very gracious and responsive. There were a couple of kids bikes plus adult bikes in the storage shed and games for the kids; High chair and pack n play also. The front porch was perfect for cool mornings with coffee. We cannot say enough great things about this experience and will be back to Buena Vista soon!

Great house for family

This was a great house for our gathering for a family wedding. It is right in the heart of the south main district, shopping, restaurants and recreational opportunities. The house itself is comfortable and the kitchen it fully equipped. (we cooked many meals). The host was very communicative. We would love to stay there again
