Amazing Location and Cozy Accommodations

This is the second time our entire family has rented this house. We absolutely love it! It’s very close to Monarch Mountain ski area. We skied, snowmobiled, and tubed. The house has plenty of space for our 6 adults and 4 children. The beds are comfy, and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you’ll need to cook your own meals. One thing that’s important to my family is having a place where we can all sit together for dinner and to play games. The front room has three comfortable couches and rocking chairs so that we can all spend time together. Beautiful place! We will definitely be back!

Amazing Ski House

This house was perfect for our ski trip! Super close to Monarch Mountain and not a far drive from other mountains. The house itself was cozy and you felt so secluded. Easy drive to town for bars and restaurants. I would love to come back and stay in the summer time for warm weather adventures!

Clean with great amenities

Friendly hosts and everything as advertised. The river is just a few steps from the back porch with plenty of trees and a foot bridge to cross over. Close to Salida for fast trips to restaurants and shopping.

Beautiful, clean, homey and in great shape

We had a lovely stay! Things to know that might benefit future renters: bring your own shampoo and conditioner, and in the winter at least, be prepared to pay the neighbor $10/car/night for parking. After getting our 4WD vehicle stuck twice in the spot in front of the house, we were willing to pay just about anything to avoid that again.

Perfect Ski Stay!

We stayed here with our kids and their spouses for a 4 night ski trip. It’s the perfect location to get to Monarch in just minutes. The cabin itself is very charming and there was plenty of space to comfortably host all 10 of us. The views are exquisite too! Lastly, the host went above and beyond in making sure all of our needs were met. Truly, perfect stay! We can’t wait to return!

Amazing family stay!

We were so grateful for finding this cabin. All our kids want to come back to this same place every year! There were plenty of options for the kids to spread out and have space for fun & sleep. The kitchen was so well stocked (and so organized with the labels!) and easy to prepare meals away from home. Most thankful for the responses from the host from checking on our arrival to the prompt response and fixing of a minor plumbing issue. Meeting Dave & talking with him was one of our highlights. Thank you for sharing this cabin with us!

Amazing Mountain Getaway

This spacious yet cozy cabin is perfect for a family gathering. Such great use of the space with comfy coaches and living space; large kitchen table and well stocked kitchen to prepare our own meals. Plenty of comfortable beds. Great communication and support from owners. Minutes from Monarch Mt skiing. The access is the only challenge so I appreciate other reviewers emphasizing that 4 wheel or All wheel drive imperative to access this property. Nearly a foot of snow fell the 3 days we were there and someone helped moved the snow and we shoveled but it was challenging getting in and out of the driveway. But that's the downside to a mountain getaway location--which was 100% worth it. We'll definitely be back.

Great Family Vacation Property

The property was great. Kitchen was well outfitted with everything we needed. You definitely need four wheel drive to get in/out during the winter. Chains are a good idea too in case you get heavy snowfall - which made the skiing great! All in all, this is great place to stay. Super convenient to Monarch and plenty of room for 8 people!

Lovely!

We stayed here with our family friends and now-young-adult children to ski at Monarch and had a wonderful time in this warm and beautiful and cozy cabin with a well-stocked (and meticulously labeled) kitchen. The nicely-sized kitchen table was well-used for meals and nightly games and puzzles. The owners even called us while we were there to make sure everything was going all right.

Lovely place that really feels "in the mountains"

We really enjoyed our stay at this "cabin" in the woods. My goal was to have a place that felt in the woods and aspens for those that could not get out hiking, and that it did, with the creek running just outside our windows.

September 2022 - Relaxation Weekend

Wanted to stay somewhere close to flowing water and where my son and I could catch up and relax. This was the perfect home and location. The owners could not have been any more accommodating and nice. Would recommend this home to anyone wanting to get away.
