About this property
10 Minutes To Monarch Mountain, the Arkansas River and 10 Minutes To Salida!
This is a beautiful 2100 square foot Colorado home with new paint inside and out and new furniture. The kitchen was remodeled and added top of the line Kenmore appliances, granite and tile. Starlink internet was just installed with 200 MB's. Just 10 minutes from the Monarch Mountain ski area, historic Salida and the Arkansas river nestled in the shadows of Mt Shavano.
This property is centrally located just minutes away from hundreds of hiking, biking, ATV and Jeep trails and to the Arkansas river with over 9 rafting companies that specialize in navigating the river up to and including class 5 rapids. The Arkansas is also known for fishing and kayaking and hosts many competitive sporting events a year.
Walking distance from the front door is the Mountain Spirit Winery, a lovely must visit located on the south fork of the Arkansas River.
Please keep in mind that in the winter, front wheel/four-wheel drive vehicles or vehicle chains may be required to maneuver not only the short gravel road leading to the house, but will certainly be required when traversing the pass to get to Monarch Mountain.
Outdoor security cameras are on the property and include a doorbell camera and eve cameras facing north and East. These cameras are for the security of the property and at no time do we keep or store footage of any kind.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Webb

This home is owned by Firehouse Vacation Properties LLC and Thomas/Tommie Hixson and Brian/Laura Cudaback. Brian and Thomas recently retired from the fire service where each spent over 30 years. The Cudaback’s and Hixson’s have skied at Monarch Mountain for over 25 years before becoming homeowners just minutes from the mountain. We are passionate about providing a comfortable living space where families can compile as many memories as we have in and around Salida.
Why they chose this property
We chose this house because of the location and its proximity to Monarch Mountain, Salida and the so many other family friendly things to experience.
What makes this property unique
We are still amazed at the beauty as we sit on the large patio and look toward the west. The sunsets are unmatched by anywhere in the world. ATV/hiking trails and within walking distance from the front door.
