Great location

We enjoyed our stay here, and the location is phenomenal. The one thing I would mention is that there is no A/C, and it got very warm at night. But overall, it is a spacious and comfortable spot which our family enjoyed.

Clean and convenient on Main

Very spacious unit (grandparents, parents, and 9 and 13 year old). We could walk to just about everything (all shops, restaurants on Main, park, skate park, pump track, hiking trails, river, and everything on South Main). Unit was very clean and our host was extremely responsive.

Wonderful host

Cool, funky, huge space in the middle of town. Walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Melinda was fabulous. We did not bring pets but what host have you ever heard of who will not only welcome your dog but also offer to babysit them if you can’t take them with you on an adventure? Had a great time! Highly recommend.

Family’s first taste of BV

I rented Melinda’s place for my adult children and their spouses. It was their first time in BV and we wanted them to be within walking distance to the Whipple Trail, Arkansas River, shopping, dining and my in-laws house. They loved it and embraced every opportunity to experience the magic of BV. Melinda was wonderful to work with. Her place is spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Loved the location! Downtown BV was easily accessible. We enjoyed walking to shops, restaurants, and the river. We had plenty of room with nine adults spending the night at one point (sleeper pads were comfortable). Overall a great place to stay.

The perfect place on Main Street!!

About 7 friends and I stayed in the loft for our trip to BV and had the best time!! It is more spacious than the photos show!! I probably would not stay any later in the summer as there is no AC, but early spring/summer and later fall would be perfect. Right on Main Street and walking distance to so much. Our only complaint was that there was not much to cook with, no cooking sheets, no olive oil or anything. So if you are planning to cook I would bring your own items!

Wonderful accommodations, with historic charm right on Main Street. The beds were comfortable, two full bathrooms - with great showers and a location that can not be beat! It was wonderful home base for hiking and rafting, with fun options to eat just outside the "front door".

Our family just returned from an incredible stay at this charming historic loft, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The moment we stepped inside, we were transported. The exposed brick walls, original hardwood floors, and high ceilings gave the space so much character, while the amenities made our stay incredibly comfortable. The location is truly unbeatable. We left our car parked the entire weekend and walked everywhere. The loft is situated perfectly, with Main Street's best shops, restaurants, and bars just a stone's throw away. We loved our morning coffee from a local cafe before a short, beautiful stroll down to the Arkansas River and convenient access to multiple trails. We were also able to walk to South Main for live music and a fantastic dinner without any hassle. The loft itself was spotless upon arrival, and the thoughtful touches from the host made us feel right at home. The fully equipped kitchen was a huge plus, it has everything you need. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and despite being in the heart of town, the loft felt like a peaceful retreat. Communication with the host was excellent—easy, friendly, and they provided great local recommendations that enhanced our trip. For anyone wanting an authentic, walkable, and charming Buena Vista experience, this historic loft is the perfect choice. We'll definitely be back!
