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.

Stayed here early March for a weekend ski trip to Monarch. Worked out perfectly for our adult group of 7. Right off the main road, short trip to Salida to eat dinner, made it to the mountain in 10min in the mornings.
Lisa was great! The communication was perfect. She was there for any questions I had. My family was visiting from Kentucky and the house was perfect, cozy, and accommodating for all 7 of us, and we still had plenty of room. Being a local from Colorado we will definitely be booking this property again. Thank you for sharing your home with us and allowing me and my family to make great memories!
Host was great! Allowed us to check in early, which was really nice and allowed us to prepare dinner for guests who were arriving later. Home was in immaculate condition and a perfect location for quick access to skiing at Monarch and amenities in Poncha Springs/Salida. Will definitely be booking again!
The host was EXTREMEMLY accommodating and let us check out whenever was convenient. The location was so much more than what the picture showed. The location was awesome, right next to My. Shavano (Bluebird) rentals, and only a 15 minute drive from Monarch Mountain. Our stay was awesome!
The house and location were fantastic! The house itself was very clean, spacious, and in a picturesque location. The drive to Monarch was so quick and easy. Lisa, the property manager, was very communicative and welcoming.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It is a beautiful house, in a fantastic location, and the property manager was absolutely wonderful to work with. We would absolutely stay there again.
Beautiful Colorado home. Plenty of space for our family to enjoy a weekend. Easy check-in. Plenty of space for games as we watched a herd of deer cross the yard.
We came up for a family cousin trip, all adults, and this house was perfect!! It is spacious and had all the amenities we needed. We especially loved being able to sit around the big table all together! The view of the fall colors was so beautiful. The host is so kind and had great communication with us. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a very nice stay for our group of four adults. Beautiful home with lots of games and puzzles. Fun decor. Everything we needed to cook a few meals and enjoy some wine. The deck was nice and the weather perfect to enjoy a bit of time outside.
My family and I went rafting nearby and stayed at this incredible home — we loved it so much we hardly wanted to leave! The house was spotless, spacious, and had absolutely stunning views. The property manager was fantastic and stayed in touch throughout the entire process. This place is truly a gem. A must-stay if you’re in the area!
The Shavano Vista was a fabulous spot for our family vacation. It was the perfect location to do all the things we had planned and the property itself was maintained perfectly. We were happy with our stay every single day. Thank you to Shavano Vista for sharing your "little slice of Heaven" with us. We loved learning the history behind the Angel of Mt. Shavano and the priceless memories will last us a lifetime!
