The Cabin Down Below

Once an old antique shop, this cabin still carries that sense of discovery—warm, textured, and timeless. A dining space invites long meals and laughter. A bunk room with four beds and a queen bedroom offer rest. A clawfoot tub with on-demand hot water soothes after adventure. Enjoy walking to everything in Buena Vista. Coffee, rivers, breweries and music nearby. Come on to the cabin down below. You may not ever leave this mountain haven.

Built in 1948, this house belongs to a later chapter in Buena Vista’s long story — a town shaped first by ranching in the Arkansas Valley, then by the railroads that helped connect this mountain community to the wider West.

In time, this little place took on a story of its own. It was once home to Little House Antiques, a shop on Cottonwood Avenue where old things waited to be found, admired, and carried forward into new lives.

Today, it is known as The Cabin Down Below — This historic cabin is in the heart of Buena Vista. The Eddyline Pub is a stones throw away and the legendary K`s Dairy Delight is just across the street.

Once it held discovered treasures.

Now it holds discovered moments.

Guest will have access to the whole cabin. There are a few locked closets for the owners and supplies.
