Wonderful place, great location

We've stayed at Bender's Log Cabin before and can't recommend it enough. It's perfect for kids, with a playground within walking distance and really close to downtown Salida. Even if you don't have kids, the location is still perfect. Marilyn is a wonderful host!

Perfect cabin!

Welcoming from the moment we opened the front door. Full kitchen. Comfortable. Quiet place to relax after a day on Monarch Mountain. Our CX5 SUV fit in the garage and was protected from the snow. Within minutes of Salida art district, a grocery store and don’t miss RED TRUCK pizza!!!! Or Robin’s diner for breakfast!!

What a great cabin for our vacation! Even though the winds kept us off the slope, Bender cabin gave us a great place to make memories and play games. Loved the open floor plan!

Fantastic Place To Stay!

My brothers and I stayed here on a dude getaway to ski. We really liked the cabin. It was just like staying at my Grandmas house. Everything you could possibly want or need was there. It was super clean and had plenty of interesting things to look at. 10 out of 10 we would stay again.

The cabin is conveniently located to a lot of area attractions. It's well equipped, well kept, clean and welcoming. It might be helpful for folks to know the beds are quite firm which most of us liked. The owner is very helpful, accommodating and welcoming.

Second time, equally as wonderful as the first!

Our family (2 adults, 2 teens) love to snowboard at Monarch Mountain, and this little cabin has been a PERFECT home-away-from-home for us. Adorable little cabin, just a few minutes away from Salida and less than a 30-minute drive to Monarch. Marilyn is an absolute pleasure to work with. This is our second time spending our spring break here, and we'll be back again!

New Year Ski Trip

This was a cute comfortable two bedroom house. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. We enjoyed having a garage to park in and not having to clean snow off of the windshield. The owner was very nice and helpful.

Cozy and Comfortable Mountain Getaway

We loved our stay at the cozy cabin. I stayed, along with my husband, and our 4 children. It felt like we were staying at a family home. We slept comfortably and the cabin stayed nice and warm. We were even able to do laundry! It is also a great location. We were able to easily access the Monarch Mountain Ski Resort along with grocery stores and restaurants. Marilyn makes you feel welcomed and your visit appreciated. We look forward to staying there again.

Summer Get Away/Wedding

This house was in a great location! The neighborhood was quiet and only 8-10 minutes from Salida. We were in town for a wedding, so we didn’t spend a ton of chill time at the cabin, but everything was very clean. Fair warning, this is a heater only home, so there is no AC. Only fans. Our trip was end of July and we just opened the windows and put the fans in front of them, and never got hot in the night. We will definitely be staying here again! The owner was great and very accommodating.
