About this property

Ski Town Condos - Escape to Monarch/Garfield, Colorado

Escape to Garfield, Colorado! (AKA Monarch)

The place you stay can do so much more than assure a solid night's rest, Ski Town Condos are the preferred lodging choice for Salida and Monarch Colorado!

Make yourself at home - feels plenty rustic with all the modern amenities you could ever need. Snooze in a charming log bed, soak in the bubbles of the hot tub, read a book on the stone patio, upload pictures from a scenic hike using your access to Starlink wireless internet. With all this and the luxury of a full kitchen, you might just be tempted not to fly far from home base.

Their are some serious perks should you'd rather flit around the mountainside - Monarch is the ideal jump-off point for a journey down the Arkansas River, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, jeeping, ATV tours, skiing, snowshoe, x-country ski, snowmobiling, and so much more.

As you make your plans, remember we are a non-smoking, non-pet, four-plex condo. Your host lives on site and rents out the three additional units. The patio, deck and hot tub are shared by all 3 condos.

Great location to monarch ski resort!

The place was so close to the ski resort. 8 minute drive. There were bunkbeds kind of built into a closet that I didn’t remember seeing in the photos. That was a great surprise because we used them. The place was clean and the hot tub was great, also very clean. We would stay again.

Beautiful, quiet- exceeded expectations!

We typically stay in Salida when skiing Monarch but found this place and it checked all the boxes. It must have the thickest walls ever because I am a light sleeper and heard nothing our whole trip which was just delightful! Hot tub was peaceful and convenient and the bed situation offered options when traveling with teens. Our host was lovely and the condo was immaculate! Thank you for sharing your slice of the mountains with us! We look forward to returning!

Friendly and Convenient; a Great Value

My family of five recently stayed over spring break. Gigi was there when we checked in and is such a kind and helpful person. She was quick when we ran out of paper towels, and came over when I asked for help navigating the roads (which I later saw was also in the binder provided in the condo).The condo was nice - water was hot and hot tub hotter. The pullout couch was only used one night but the beds were comfortable and the storage closet was big enough for a child to sleep in :). I suspect some might say the kitchen is small - and it is - but frankly we weren't there to make complicated meals. It got the job done. Convenience to Monarch Ski Area was surprisingly quick - a measly 5 miles! I couldn't believe it. I am sure we will be coming back in the coming years. Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect place to stay for skiing

My friends and I enjoyed staying here. The cabin is adorable and cozy but honestly we spent most of our trip either skiing or in the hot tub which was fantastic and super convenient. The host was very kind and always made sure the hot tube was ready for us after a long day of skiing. They also provide tons of towels which was appreciated so that we could use them for showering and getting out of the hot tub. I think this is a great place to stay for a couple of friends or a small family as long as you don’t mind sharing a bathroom.

Second Time There

This is a great place to stay when enjoying the area. For us, our daughter and granddaughter spent a few days enjoying the area and skiing at Monarch. It is a great location, Gigi, the owner is very friendly and attentive and the place provides a great get-a-way for us. We were there last year and returned this year. That is a great endorsement.

Great condo with everything you need.

We stayed here for 3 nights and went skiing and tubing at Monarch. The bunk beds were a nice surprise as I figured on of my kids would just sleep on the couch. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and dine. A dish washer would be nice, but doing dishes as a family became fun after each meal. Gigi was great, and the hot tub was awesome.

Loved our stay and the short commute to Monarch mountain for downhill ski and Monarch park for nordic skiing. Hot tub was lovely with many jets and relaxation after our ski day was enjoyed. Condo was comfortable, beds comfy. Could use a few sharp knives (like all VRBO's)

Great Place Close to Monarch Mountain Ski area

Great place for four adults. My wife and I and our daughter and her husband enjoyed the condo. I was small but great for the four of us. The hot tub was especially nice after a day of skiing. Gigi, the host, was available on premise, very friendly and check in with us to make sure we had everything. We'll be back the next time we ski for several days at Monarch.

Great stay over the New Year holiday!

Our family of three stayed 4 nights and had a great time. The drive up from Salida is easy and the cabin is so cozy and just what we needed. The property manager, Gigi, is on-site and very helpful. The trip up to Ski Monarch mountain is soooo quick and easy which made our trip more enjoyable. The upstairs unit A is slightly outdated, but comfortable. All we needed was a warm place to sleep and hang out between ski days, and we got just that! We were able to cook meals and enjoy the hot tub as well! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a small group looking for a prime location!!

Why they chose this property

I searched for several years to find my vacation rentals. Several things make this the perfect site - located in a remote area, yet only 18 miles to Salida for restaurants, shops, antiquing, art galleries, local wineries & breweries. Think of Ski Town Condos as a convenient base camp for your Colorado day trips! The Royal Gorge Bridge, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Great Sand Dunes of the National Parks,The National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum - nowhere is the mining industry, past and present, better displayed than here! Leadville 70 miles. Ski Town Condos is in a remote area surrounded by the San Isabel National Forest with all the outdoor attractions to enjoy year round - Monarch Mountain ski area just 3 miles away, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, hiking trails, mountain bike trails, natural hot springs, fishing, & river rafting.
