Great place to stay overall. There for 2 weeks and close to hiking, Buena Vista and Salida. There could be some de-cluttering for our taste but we're minimalists. Pam was great and gave us detailed instructions and suggestions for local attractions.

The cabin was ideally located near Salida and many hiking trails. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Plenty of dishes and cooking supplies in the kitchen.There is no air conditioning, which is probably not needed most of the year, but temperatures were in the mid 90s during our stay and the cabin was warm on the very few occasions we were there during the day. They do have ceiling fans and floor fans in the bedrooms.Overall, this is a wonderful cabin with beautiful views and we would definitely rent again!

Great placement, loved being able to bring our pet, hiked adjoining mountain with flowing water. At a ski resort in 10 minutes, spent full day in downtown Salida. Being that private and left alone is worth the extra expense over a hotel for the week.

Our stay at Mountain Manor was excellent. Communication with Pam was wonderful. She always responded quickly and with great enthusiasm. We would love to stay here again. Being pet friendly was very important to us. It provided an excellent location for us to drive to many places to ride our SxS in a reasonable amount of time. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer available to wash and dry our trail clothes so that we weren’t having to go a laundromat to wash clothes. We often cooked our meals and had adequate kitchen supplies. Two complete bathrooms was also a plus. We loved being able to sit on the front porch in the evenings and enjoy the mountains. The recent fires made it a little hazy but that was a natural phenomenon and not one that could be avoided. It was a great place to stay and Pam was an absolute wonderful and caring hostess. Thank you Pam for sharing your beautiful mountain home with us. It was a perfect vacation and a wonderful place to stay! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We hit the jackpot when we found this cabin. We were on a church ski trip at the monarch slopes and had an AMAZING experience staying here. The house was very cute and clean. We felt welcomed and appreciated through all communication with the owners. The weather was crazy and wind caused some fence issues. We notified the owners just to make them aware (the wind damage did not effect our stay) and they immediately responded and had someone over to look at it. The cabin is pet friendly but you would never know seeing as how well kept the home is. The guest book with local menus and site seeing ideas was perfect for helping us fill out downtime inbetween ski trips. We plan on staying here again in the future! Highly recommend!

Always a great and memorable time at Mountain Manor. We love it so much and feel so comfortable and at home there. We keep returning so that says something! Our host, Pam, is always warm and welcoming and genuinely cares that her renters have a good visit and a pleasant and hassle-free experience. We’re already thinking about next time.

We had a fantastic stay! Pam sent lots of great information and recommendations before we arrived. The house was better than we had hoped! There aren’t many pictures of the inside of the house, so I was a little worried, but it was perfect! Great beds and lots of space for my family to spread out and sleep comfortably!We brought our two dogs, which they happily accommodated, and the had lots of dog gates which were really a nice touch. Overall we had a great experience and would stay again!!
