Planning my first thru hike and need to stay a night in Buena Vista - any suggestions for hiker friendly lodging?

We stayed at the Mt Princeton RV Park two years in a row (section backpacking the CT) both camping and cabin rentals and they are great. We had the truck for those trips but the town isn’t too big as I recall. Check them out online and see if it will work for you. Loved Buena Vista - great people and good food everywhere we tried. The grocery store there is a good size & they have an outdoor store if you need gear replacement along the way. HAVE FUN!

The folks at the Uncorked wine shop and Franks for the Memories may also be able to help - there were great when we passed through a couple years ago.

I bet you could just post something on the high rockies craigslist in the community section or something. I lived in leadville for a year and everyone around BV is super chill.
