Excellent place to stay! If you love 'country' this is definitely the place to stay! Beautiful home, well kept and clean. Once arriving and staying the first night, the hostess sent a text to check on us and make sure everything was going good and to see if we needed anything. The area around is was absolutely beautiful and our adventurous side was able to go hiking and exploring. Will definitely book this place again next time we are in the area!
We spent a couple of beautiful days skiing Monarch and enjoyed every minute of our stay at Bright Star. We plan on staying every year we come to Salida. Stunning home!!
This place lived up to its listing. A large, private ranch with a beautiful home full of amenities and tremendous views. Perfection! We saw elk and deer on the ranch. We enjoyed the hot tub while watching the sun set. Owners were in close contact - we appreciated their care.

Kimberly, thanks so much for the wonderful feedback! We would love to host you again anytime.
We had a great stay. Wonderful accommodations. Excellent communication with the host. We hope to return. It was exactly what we needed for some family time and peace.
We loved the property and location. Enjoyed hanging on the patio while our dogs ran around the fenced area. Views and privacy were most awesome. Will be back again for another stay soon.

Hi David. Thank you so much for staying with us! We can't wait to welcome you back again!
Absolutely beautiful property. Well managed and clean. Perfect for an extended family. We will have a hard time staying anywhere else in the Salida area now.
We loved staying at this property, it was quiet, private and much more room that expected. We also appreciated being able to take our dog and having a fenced outdoor space for him to run. The views were amazing and the location- close to BV and Salida was perfect. Property management communication was excellent.
