we really enjoyed our stay. We came to Colorado to ride UTV’s and this property was located in the perfect location and we especially appreciated Having extra room in the driveway to park our trailer. The house had everything we needed. There was even a bonus bedroom downstairs that we were not expecting. We will definitely stay here again if we come to Salida area.
