The property was beautiful and a great fit for our family! The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked for all of our cooking needs. We loved sitting on the deck in the cool mornings with a cup of coffee and listening to the birds. Such a relaxing spot!

Peaceful Mountain Escape – A Perfect Getaway

We just returned from a wonderful vacation at this beautiful log cabin tucked back in the Colorado woods. The setting was incredibly peaceful and quiet—just what we needed to relax and recharge. The cabin was clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed.One of the special touches we appreciated was the fresh flowers in the front room when we arrived—my wife absolutely loved that. Even better, they allowed us to bring our dogs, which made the trip even more enjoyable. It’s not always easy to find pet-friendly places like this, and we’re so grateful for it.Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm, scenic, and pet-friendly getaway in the mountains.

Love the Wanderlust Chalet!!

Amazing father son trip! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The Wanderlust Chalet is in a fantastic, remote location, has every amenity you could ask for, is super clean. This place truly gives that cabin/chalet feel inside and out. The owners take amazing care of this place and we appreciated their communication and hospitality. Can’t wait to come back!

Great place in the woods!

We loved your family trip to Buena Vista and this house was great! Nice that it was remote but also easy to get into BV or drive to Salida. Would definitely recommend this house to others! We appreciated the toiletries and basic pantry items provided too! Our kids loved the old school video game and playing outside.

My friends and I had a wonderful time in the cabin, we stayed for two nights and the place was amazing with the location, the views, and the privacy. The cabin was very neat and everything worked just fine, the instructions were very accurate and helpful. The communication with the hosts was very prompt and welcoming. The fresh flowers on the dining table was very much appreciated. Thank you.

2025 Spring Break

Being from Texas, we always wanted to experience, a cozy cabin in the woods and we got it with this Cabin. The scenery and drive just to get there were amazing.The Star gazing at night was breathtaking, it was cold but worth being out on the deck looking at the beautiful sky.Couple of cautions- the cabin is out there, and the nearest grocery store is about 35-40 minutes away. The elevation is high if you're not used to it and may cause you to slow down :)

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

My family and I chose this cabin for our Thanksgiving and it was literally perfect. Woke up to deer walking through the snow in the front yard, has a perfectly equipped kitchen to cook a large meal, and close enough to Buena Vista/Salida for a fun day trip while feeling like we were far out in the country. We don't have a single complaint! The stargazing out there is unbelievable and the cabin is so cozy. When we arrived, there was about 1.5 ft of snow but the driveway was plowed as well! I'd recommend this place to everyone and hope to be back soon :)

Peaceful but convenient cabin in the woods

This was our first Vrbo experience as a family and we couldn’t have been happier with the stay. From horseshoes in the back, games and a Ms Pac-Man downstairs, a fan in every bedroom, and a well stocked kitchen, the owners have thought of everything to make your stay convenient and enjoyable. They even build your first fire in the wood stove should you choose to use it. You just need to light it. The property is a haven for those who love wildlife and quiet, yet it is conveniently located near Buena Vista and Salida or a day trip to Breckenridge
