Incorporated in 1880, the charming historic town of Salida was named as one of the 'ten best places to live' by television’s Fine Living program. Salida is known for its mild climate, plentiful outdoor recreational opportunities, and burgeoning arts scene, including the well-respected Salida Museum. It’s set beneath the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range to the south and the Sawatch Range to the northwest with its 15 peaks over 14,000 feet in elevation (which is why the region’s nickname is the “14ers Region.” The section of Arkansas River that runs near the town is world-famous for whitewater rafting and kayaking.

One of our guest said it best..
'It is much prettier than the pictures lead you to believe. Hot tub is right outside the back door and fenced on one side for privacy. Property manager was super and responded quickly to all questions. We saw llama, deer and wild turkeys wandering around the neighborhood while we stayed. Easy access to both the Monarch ski resort and the town of Salida.

Such a beautiful little place. Relatively private with the river going right through the property- the river bank seemed like a great place for fairies to reside! The cabin was very cozy and inviting, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our breakfast and dinners. Would definitely stay here again!

Summertime visit to this cabin was great! Spent time by the creek, riding our bikes through the neighborhood, and hiking nearby trails. Can't beat the comfort and the amenities, and the hosts are always wonderful. We've stayed several times now--this is the perfect launchpad for our outdoor adventures. Our dog loves it too! :)

The cabin was exceptional inside and out. We plan to stay there again next year. Leona was the best hostess you could ask for. She helped in every way she could. Right behind the cabin is a stream. At night you could the stream. It's a perfect cabin for a couple. .

Everything we needed seemed to be at the cabin and in good condition. We were unable to enjoy all the amenities with such a short stay. Thinking of a longer stay in the future. Thanks for having us.

About the host

Hosted by Leona Taylor

Host profile image
We live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It has been a long time dream to live in Colorado, this cabin is a start. We feel quite fortunate to be able to share this special spot with other travelers.

Why they chose this property

We loved the river, convenient location to year round activities and the town of Salida. This area offers all we were looking for and so much more.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has all the conveniences you could want, but the river and fire pit give a feeling of camping outdoors. We get the best of both worlds. It is peaceful to sit under the covered porch and watch the rain or enjoy whatever wildlife might happen by.

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
