Great place - lots of room to gather for enjoying the outdoors, a meal, or sports on TV. The deck was especially nice as were the views!So handy to have access to a washer and dryer.
Host was very responsive, great to work with. The place was awesome and breathtaking views. We will be back. Very clean and well maintained. Made all our meals there and had all the right utensils.
The house was basically clean. Our room was clean and the bedding clean. The kitchen had all the appliances and utensils needed. The location was gorgeous. Views are beautiful and we enjoyed traveling through Salida and neighboring towns.
If you're looking for a super upscale, white-linen place, keep looking, this is not it. What it IS is a wonderfully cozy and comfortable cabin with everything needed for a great stay. The beds are comfortable, the TV is large and worked well, there is WIFI and a washing machine/dryer and wonderful couches and recliners. The deck was wonderful, with hummingbirds flitting about and horses in the pasture. The owners are also super responsive and nice. Even though the space is comfy, get out and explore! Salida, just up the road, is a quaint and attractive former mining town with a wonderful art-and-food-filled downtown. Canon City is about an hour's drive and worth it with so much to see and do. Enjoy!
Gorgeous views, lovely and spacious home, near fun little mountain town of Salida. We enjoyed skiing at Monarch and ringing in the new year in downtown Salida. Host was friendly, easily reachable, and gave lots of thorough instructions and ideas for things to do.
Loved this house!Comfortable beds, clean spacious bathrooms, good sized kitchen and awesome patio!The view was beautiful as well.Salida is just down the road with awesome restaurants and plenty of shopping. I wish we could have stayed longe!

Amazing view of the mountains and a lot of wildlife. Deer came right up by the back porch several times. Very spacious and great location. Located between Cañon City and Salida- the drive between these towns is beautiful. Cabin is quiet and private. Great place to vacation!

I want to go back!
This fantastic mountain home was so comfortable, quiet, and offered a beautiful 360º view of the mountains and a few nearby horses. The home was so nice and clean and had anything you could possibly want (e.g. grill, gas fire pit, laundry, kitchen necessities, and more). I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet escape that's not too far from civilization.

We had a great stay. Excellent location for fishing Arkansas River and we did day trips to Monarch and San Dunes. Cabin is nicely located among some ranches/farms with good privacy and away from roads. Saw deer and elk from the cabin most days. Excellent place for a low-key reunion with friends. Great communication from owner and property management company.
