Discover Buena Vista RV rentals for memorable road trips
Though its motto is “8,000 Feet Above Average”, rest assured there is nothing average about the Colorado mountain town of Buena Vista. This charming village is located in the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado, south of Leadville and west of Colorado Springs. Buena Vista was first settled in 1864 due to the Arkansas River Valley’s ample supply of potable water for drinking and agriculture. Since it was known as a stagecoach stop and an agricultural hub, Buena Vista was spared the ghost town fate of many boom-or-bust mining settlements that would often be abandoned seemingly overnight.

I recently rented Barbara's van for a trip to the Great Sand Dunes with my son, and it was an amazing experience despite the windy and rainy weather. The van was easy to use, making our solo adventure enjoyable. Although it got pretty cold at night, the van kept us warm and comfortable, thanks to its excellent heater.

My wife and rented this for our honeymoon , and We had an amazing trip and had zero issues with the RV. Everything was super easy to use, and the few questions we did have Andrew and Heather were very responsive and helpful! Without a doubt we would happily rent from Andrew and Heather again.
