Buena Vista Mountain Home for Rent Furnished 3BR / 2BA Log Cabin 6-Month Lease $2,950/month + utilities November 1st - April 30th possibility for month-to-month after Application required - see details below Owner-managed by a longtime local I'm looking for someone who genuinely loves mountain living and will care for this home with the same thoughtfulness and respect that I have poured into it over the years. This freshly updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin sits on 5 private acres of ponderosa forest, backed by public land with access to the Colorado Trail. At approximately 9,000 feet, it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful mountain privacy while remaining only about 12 minutes from Buena Vista. With a good snow year, you may even be able to ski from the back door. This is a home for someone who enjoys the particular joys - and responsibilities - of mountain living: snow, wood stoves, quiet mornings, dark skies, wildlife, fresh air, and the occasional satisfying afternoon of clearing a walkway or tending a fire. This is for someone who desires a furnished living space for 6 months to try out the mountains or in transition to something more long-term. If that sounds like your kind of winter, I'd love to meet you!
