A Peaceful, Sustainable, Mountain Retreat at End-of-the-Road Salida, Colorado Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 122298
A look out the kitchen
Location: Salida, South Central, Colorado, USA (2 1/2 Hours from Denver, Colorado)
Accommodations: Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Loft, 1 Bath (Sleeps 5-10)
Our beautiful vacation rental is located in the San Isabel National Forest nestled in a meadow surrounded by mountain tops with views of the Sangre de Cristo peaks just 30 minutes (an adventurous drive!) from the small mountain town of Salida.
The rental consists of an "off grid" pre-1900's renovated old miners' cabin with a strawbale/tire hybrid attached that houses the large kitchen and bath. A huge fire-pit lies right out the cabin door for all of your barbecuing, smore making, and campfire singing glee!
We have seen many big horn sheep, deer, elk, eagles, hawks and many other native species of animals to Colorado. We have been on many two to six hour hikes without ever seeing another human being! You will witness the clearest night skies and stars galore!
"Sometimes its so quiet you can hear the trees breathe and the wind blowing through them... Sounds just like the sea". "A hard place to get to and a hard place to leave." (songs by Greg and Terri)
