Traveling to
The Surf
From directions to accommodations, here’s everything you’ll need to plan your visit to Buena Vista.
Traveling by Plane
Buena Vista is nestled in the heart of the Rockies, and there are several airport options depending on your plans, budget, and sense of adventure.
Gunnison Regional Airport (GUC) – 1.5 hours away
A scenic drive through mountain valleys and one of the closest airports to town.
Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) – 2 hours away
Convenient for those flying through Vail or planning to explore the area before or after the wedding.
Colorado Springs Airport (COS) – 2 hours away
A smaller, easy-to-navigate airport that’s a great alternative to Denver.
Denver International Airport (DEN) – 2.5 hours away
The largest airport in the region, with the widest selection of flights and rental car options.
Driving to Buena Vista
You can find The Surf Hotel in Buena Vista’s South Main neighborhood — a riverside district surrounded by trails, shops, and mountain views.
If you’re driving, expect a beautiful, winding mountain route no matter which direction you’re coming from. The roads are well maintained, but plan for slower travel times and soak in the scenery along the way.
If you’d rather not drive or would like to carpool, reach out to Jill or Javier, we’re happy to help coordinate rides or alternative transportation.
Parking
All public parking in South Main is free of charge.
There is plenty of street parking available along nearby streets and in several dirt lots adjacent to The Surf Hotel.
Staying at The Surf
We’d love for as many guests as possible to stay on-site — it makes the weekend simple, walkable, and fun.
We have a room block reserved at Surf Chateau and Surf House.
Guests booking through our room block link will receive 10% off their stay June 19 - 21. If you prefer to call the hotel to book, use group code CHAGOLLA2026.
We don’t want travel costs to be the reason you can’t join us.…
If you need any help with arrangements or support getting to Buena Vista, please reach out to Javier or Jill — we’ll gladly help figure it out. We’d love to celebrate with everyone we love most.
