About this property

Monarch Crest Chalet- Sauna and Pet Friendly

STR #003530
Monarch Crest Chalet – Secluded Mountain Getaway
Escape to Monarch Crest Chalet, a private mountain retreat surrounded by Colorado's best adventure. This vaulted-ceiling cabin features 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an open living/dining space, and a well-equipped kitchen—plus two covered decks, a covered patio, and a garage with a dedicated gear room for skis, bikes, and everything in between.

Wake up to breathtaking sunrise views over an aspen grove, then step out the back door to the National Forest. You're just 0.2 miles from the South Fork of the Arkansas River (you can hear it from the property), with multiple hiking and mountain biking trails nearby. Monarch Ski Area and the Monarch Crest mountain bike trail are only 3 miles away, and downtown Salida is about 20 minutes from the cabin.

November thru April this Mountain Home requires 4-wheel drive AND snow chains or auto-socks. In addition, pickups will need substantial weight over the rear axle! Without chains you will not make it into the driveway!
