Awesome
Came for a short stay celebrating a birthday. Kids came, May snow came (17” total over the weekend). We weren’t planning on snow, but still made the best of it. Still enjoyed sight-seeing and the BV area (disc golfing, actual golfing, indoor wall climbing, shopping, cool restaurants) We will visit again as this has quickly become a favorite place for us.

Perfect getaway spot
We loved our trip to Buena Vista! Cactus Flower is an incredible, secluded property where you can enjoy peace and quiet, yet just a short drive to all of the activities. Hiking, fishing, hot springs, rafting, shopping and restaurants - all at your fingertips. The deck was the best part of the property - amazing views!! Jamie and Jill were great to work with. Would definitely stay here again.

Get-a-way heaven
We stayed for a week at this wonderful place. The deck off the dining room, with a view of Mt Princeton, is the best way to start the day with coffee & finish your day with cocktails. Plenty of space for 6 adults without feeling crowded. Will stay here again. Nice owners. Couldn’t ask for a better place.

This home never disappoints! It’s clean, amazing views & the property owners are very accommodating. Six of us stayed here with ample room for everyone. Began the day with coffee on the deck & ended it on the deck watching the sun set. We’ve stayed here 3 years & will stay again

Great stay, great place
Loved our stay at the Cactus Flower. The place is beautiful, well-laid out, and well-stocked. Went rafting at a local place they recommended, had a great time. Would highly recommend this location if you want a remote place with a gorgeous view. Super quiet, too. Close enough to BV to make a trip over and pick up supplies, no problem (about 9 mi).

Great home for extended family
The home had everything needed for a great mountain getaway. Grilled stakes and cooked Colorado corn for a dinner meal and had smores by the fire pit. We had a clear moonless night and the stars were bright. Everyone set on the patio in the mornings for coffee and the view. Excellent layout for three generations to stay together,

Awesome home and views
Place is described perfectly. It as a wonderful central point for our day motorcycles trips. Would have been a little nicer if road was not graveled, but that was minor. We had 3 bucks stop by one night to feed on the grounds it was pretty cool. The cabin was just gorgeous and the owners were very responsive to our needs. All 6 of us would highly recommend staying here. Thanks, Down

Chalk Cliff Views for Days
This property had everything you could need for a group of 6. First off, the views from the house/balcony were stunning of Mt Princeton. We spent a good amount of time outside enjoying the views. The house feels massive with the high ceilings and very comfortable furniture. I love to cook and the kitchen was spectacular. Jaime and Jill were easy to communicate over the VRBO site. Overall we couldn’t be more happy with our stay and if we’re back in the area, we would absolutely stay again.

Spectacular Place!
This house was beautiful, clean, comfortable and well stocked. The house felt like a well lived in home with comfortable furniture, extra blankets, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. The views were breathtaking and honestly the most stunning views possibly anywhere we have ever stayed. We were there with four women for a girl's getaway and the bedrooms layouts and on-suites were perfect for an adult vacation. We hope to come back with our kiddos as the bottom floor game room would be great for them. Location was amazing - very secluded but only minutes away from Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. We will for sure be back! Thanks again!

AWESOME Snowboard and Relaxation in Beautiful Setting
We had a fantastic stay, and Jamie and Jill were fantastic with communication and addressing any questions we had. We loved the spectacular views from all over the house... and the secluded but accessible location was perfect for us. The ability to adjust temps with the radiant heating system in the floors let everyone stay warm and toasty with their own thermostats, and the gas fireplace made it super easy to fire up some flames on demand in the living room. Our kiddos loved the foose-ball table and the second living area downstairs. The home was well appointed on all levels... and it made for a fantastic retreat after all our long days on the slopes at Monarch (which we love and highly recommend, too). We'll for sure stay again if we are back in the area!!

Gorgeous Home Surrounded by Mountain Peaks
Our family of active adults came for the nearby hiking but ended up falling for the architectural gem of a home. The views of two 14ers - Mt. Antero and Mt. Princeton, the Chalk Canyon valley, and the nightly star show made us cherish our time on the large deck. We were visited by a variety of birds and non-stop hummingbirds. Roku TVs were available for easy casting but we were drawn to the foosball table, board games and card games on the deck. The huge windows facing the mountains means this house works for you if you wish to stay inside or on the deck and read a book, do yoga or enjoy some quiet time. If you are a hiker, walker or runner, there is a scenic 10 mile route from the house which includes 4 miles on a historic canyon trail (with add-on mileage available on the amazing Colorado Trail). We had our choice of eight nearby 14ers to climb and numerous shorter but scenic hikes rated among the state's best. Our foodie kids loved the shops, breweries and restaurants in nearby Buena Vista (16 min drive) and Salida (25 min drive) ...as did my wife and I. In our downtime, we enjoyed our visits to restored ghost town areas in St. Elmo and Fairplay. Finally, the people in the area and responsive owners were very friendly and helpful. We didn't want to leave and already miss Cactus Rose.

Amazing home!
We loved our stay. The owners gave amazing directions to get to the home in case we lost reception and once we arrived everything was perfect for our stay. Check-in and check-out was super smooth. The kitchen is well stocked in kitchen supplies and everything you could need to spend days in this beautiful location. Lots of games and places to relax throughout the home. Close to town and the views were amazing!
