The Inn Between is a remarkable 3,976-square-foot custom log home on 4.78 private acres at the base of Mt. Yale, surrounded by the Collegiate Peaks and just minutes from Buena Vista. Crafted from premium British Columbia Douglas Fir logs, this beautifully maintained retreat offers exceptional craftsmanship, privacy, spectacular views, and an established short-term rental history with income-producing potential. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase Mt. Princeton from the dramatic two-story great room. The home features four bedrooms, three full baths, a gourmet kitchen and dining area with access to expansive decks, loft flex space, and a lower-level family room. The private primary suite includes a deck, walk-in shower, deep soaking tub, and stunning mountain views. Recent upgrades include granite countertops and a new shingle roof. Heated floors, quality western furnishings, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a private hot tub add comfort and appeal. Additional amenities include a two-car garage, workshop, abundant storage, and a second laundry room, offering flexibility for mountain gear, hobbies, guests, or year-round living. A ½-mile nature trail winds through pinyon and ponderosa pines, with a seasonal stream and opportunities to see elk and mule deer. Enjoy easy access to hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking, fishing, climbing, and skiing. The Colorado Trail is within a mile, Cottonwood Pass is minutes away, and Monarch and Ski Cooper are less than an hour’s drive. With its established short-term rental history and income-producing opportunity, The Inn Between is ideal as a primary residence, mountain getaway, or investment property. A rare combination of privacy, income potential, craftsmanship, and breathtaking Colorado mountain views awaits in the heart of the Arkansas River Valley.
