Amazing mountain cabin

Really excellent stay at an amazing cabin. Somewhat secluded but also easily accessible to Buena Vista. Great views from the house. House was very well furnished and supplied. Our younger kids especially enjoyed the kinda hidden bedroom/playroom that ties in to the master bedroom. Hosts were great with communication and support. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect vacation for a long weekend. The house was located in the most beautiful area with view of the mountains all around. It was a great mix between remote yet close to Salida & Buena Vista. The house is very nice and was perfect for our family of 5. I would highly recommend it. This is a great area with lots of fun things to do.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway/Perfect for Families

We loved our stay at "Someplace Else"! It's the perfect distance from Buena Vista and Salida for half day trips with kiddos. We brought our toddler and 4 month old baby and the house was stocked with toys, pack n play, kids plates/utensils, etc. We enjoyed the nice weather by using the grill, patio, and bonfire pit for s'mores. Would highly recommend!

Another Great Stay!

This is our family’s second time to stay at this house and it was excellent experience! Ryan is so great to work with and ensures each stay is a success. Some of our favorite things include the quiet location, the wood stove, the hill behind the house for the boys to play, the sunlight that comes in the huge windows, and the cool “kid” room! The space is great for a family with active kids and it’s always spotlessly clean upon arrival. It’s such a cozy spot to hang out after a day on the slopes—we did make it into town, but evenings spent with the fire going and a good movie on awesome. We are looking forward to coming back for a summertime visit!

Last Minute Booking

We had to make a last minute change to our travel plans and luckily found this home was available. Home is beautiful. Location easy to access, quiet, and lovely. Beds were comfy. This is the best stocked rental I've stayed in and I would definitely stay here again. My only complaint, which is not unique to this rental, is a lack of grab bars in tub shower for the safety of elderly travelers...please consider adding. Trips to BV, St. Elmo, Independence Pass, and Salida were great fun!

Family Vacation to Mountains

Property is a bit older, but is well kept and clean. Neighboring homes were much closer than expected, with homes on both sides and across street in a rural neighborhood development near mountains. Property is off the beaten path, but not as “secluded” as property may advertise. No A/C at property, so did get a bit warm a couple of days during our summer stay. Home is well stocked and in quiet neighborhood. Overall, home was great for our family vacation and fit our needs.

Wonderful Home in Colorado

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The house had the perfect amount of room for a family of five. My daughters had the downstairs bedrooms and my husband and I took the upstairs. We weren't able to get the wood-burning stove working but then again we were not familiar with that kind of stove. All in all, we had a great time.

Quiet Mountain Retreat

My family and I needed a quiet place to relax and get away from it all. This was the perfect spot. It appears this property was a newer listing. The owners have it set up nicely for a short term rental. Most of the furnishings and kitchenware was brand new and high quality. We took some walks in the neighborhood and in the adjacent national forest. My daughter loved seeing the wild turkeys and deer from the living room windows. Sunrises and sunsets over the surrounding mountains were awesome. Great views! We’ll be back.

Someplace Else is something else!

What a perfect getaway! Someplace Else was immaculate and in such a great location! We came to ski Monarch and had a wonderful time, an easy drive up to the mountain each day. Ryan was fantastic, checking in us on our way in and as we checked out. Everything is so clear and easy from booking to getting here to checking out. The house had everything you could need to be comfortable and cozy. We kept the meals in the easier side but the kitchen was definitely stocked to accommodate. The kids loved having their own space and the king bed upstairs was really comfortable. (We didn’t have a need for the downstairs bed) My only regret is I didn’t plan a longer trip. We will definitely be back!

The Perfect Mountain Escape

For our annual ski trip to Monarch Mountain, we wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of town and we booked this spot--and escape is what we did! When we first arrived, I told my husband I just wanted to cancel the ski plans and spend the whole time in the cozy cabin. It was very clean, very open and bright, well-furnished, and had just the right space to feel cozy but still have plenty of beds and room to spread out. The use of the garage was very nice. Inside, from the extra coffee (I had forgotten mine!) to the bath towels, sleds for the kids, many TV's, kitchen supplies, cozy couches, very comfy beds, good wifi---it was everything we needed. The kids' faves include sledding down the backyard hill, the board games, and helping with the woodburning stove. My husband and I loved the warm sunshine that fills the house on a chilly winter day, sitting on the front deck, and watching the sun peek below the mountains each evening! This is a great place to stay! Communication with Ryan before, during, and after our stay was top-notch and we definitely be back!
