This is the perfect little cabin for a small family getaway. The unique location and the amenities offered by the hosts made for a beautiful, quiet, family vacation. Easy hot springs access, BV, Salida close by for shopping or dining out. The cabin is nicely situated by the river and the skylights over the bed were gorgeous for stargazing. Would stay here again and again!
The best stay in the mountains!! This cabin was just perfect for our weeks stay. Very close to many hiking and jeep trails. We stay in this area a lot but this was our first time to stay in this cabin. Such a peaceful setting and it offers everything you could need for a family getaway. We definitely hope to stay here again-it was everything you would want in a mountain getaway.
It was a great vacation, wedding in salida and honeymoon at the cabin.Took my bride to st elmo s to feed the chipmunks in our RZR and then over Hancock pass plus much more riding.It was a very romantic stay.Thank you for having us.we are planning to come back in the near future.
This is such a charming cabin. Very quiet and historical area. You can hear Chalk Creek passing by below and view, not only the natural landscape, but also the way the owners maintain the property with care and appeal.

This vacation property was absolutely amazing surrounded by incredible beauty. We will definitely return to enjoy this jewel again.
More beautiful than the pictures convey! Peaceful, gorgeous location. Cabin filled with windows, including a skylight in the bedroom so you can view stars from your bed. Best place I've ever stayed in the mountains. Can't wait to return!
Beautifully located next to Mt Princeton, this cabin was a pleasure. River in the back provides a lovely background noise . Very quiet and tidy..
