Best location!

This cozy, welcoming cabin was the perfect place to stay! It had everything we could possibly need for our long weekend of skiing/snowboarding and was close to everything. Ten minutes to downtown Salida (only five minutes to Walmart), and only fifteen minutes to Monarch. Marilyn was wonderful about answering all our questions and provided clear instructions. The place was warm and so comfortable. We had a great time!

Welcoming from the moment we opened the front door. Full kitchen. Comfortable. Quiet place to relax after a day on Monarch Mountain. Our CX5 SUV fit in the garage and was protected from the snow. Within minutes of Salida art district, a grocery store and don’t miss RED TRUCK pizza!!!! Or Robin’s diner for breakfast!!

We've stayed at Bender's Log Cabin before and can't recommend it enough. It's perfect for kids, with a playground within walking distance and really close to downtown Salida. Even if you don't have kids, the location is still perfect. Marilyn is a wonderful host!
