Great place

The property was great! The best part is the location to town and only 30min from Monarch mountain. We had a wonderful time. We had a little trouble leaving due to about 2 feet of snow. The plow didn’t make it to us until 10:30/11:00 am. I would just make sure if that’s the case plan ahead. The hot tub is awesome! The views from the house are also amazing but can really only be enjoyed from a small window in the kitchen, the master and the deck. The house was clean and very well stocked. We had everything we needed. I also enjoyed the electronic check in. We would love to and plan to stay here again.

Very comfortable, great views

My group and I stayed beginning of October 2023. We were impressed with the views, privacy of the property, comfort of rooms and ample seating, as well as attention to detail of anticipation of our needs and wants during our stay. The kitchen had everything- including coffee, spices, and condiments in fridge. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and enjoyed the amazing views. The pool was not open, so that would have been the cherry on top! Thanks for a great stay!

a wonderful holiday

Our family of six adults and two small children had a special Christmas in this perfectly equipped, well-designed home. Our communication with the owners was immediate, and they were welcoming, kind, and accommodating. This home was all we could have hoped for.

Amazing Salida Experience

My family had a wonderful time staying here in Salida. The property was well maintained and had ample space for everyone. Being just outside the town, we had unobstructed views of the mountains to ourselves. Downtown was an easy 3-4 minute drive away which we took advantage of to hike, eat, and shop. We stayed over thanksgiving and having a fully stocked kitchen made everything super easy. We would definitely stay again!

Awesome mountain property

This is a great home with an amazing view of the area. It has many upgrades and improvements done, along with an indoor pool that will be incredible when finished. The owner was very communicative, and answered questions quickly. We will definately rent again!

Checks all the boxes for a private mountain getaway close to Salida - Spectacular!

Absolutely outstanding location and rental home. The photos actually do not do justice to the home, it is so much better in person. The home is beautifully maintained, and has all the amenities that you would want to make for a wonderful stay. We had plans to see some sites around the Salida area but wound up staying more at the VRBO location because it was such a great place to be. We had a family reunion of 4 siblings and spouses and everyone was comfortable with plenty of space and seating to enjoy the stay. The deck and hot tub area are fantastic with incredible views. The location is so secluded that you are almost overwhelmed by the quiet. The getaway is loaded with games and activities - check out the large table on the deck, you slide the top and underneath is a shuffleboard table! The kitchen is amazing, probably the best we have ever seen in any other stays, with all the appliances, utensils, cookware, table service (both ceramic and plastic for outside!), and plenty of different sizes and types of drinking cups and glasses (including plastic for outside). Everything was well labeled and made it so easy to use. So, if you are looking for a place close to Salida (a great town to spend your time, with lots of other fun places nearby), that feels like you have gone off to a secluded spot in the mountains, that is comfortable, with plenty of space, lots to do, and owners that clearly care for their guests needs and comfort, THIS IS THE PLACE! We will plan to return.

Everything about this property is inviting. The views are amazing. The furniture and bedding are so comfortable. The kitchen has all the amenities one needs to cook or bake. The deck has a large outdoor table that slids to reveal a game table AND their is a hot tub. We come to this area 4 times a year and have stayed many places and my family and I agree, this is our favorite. It has everything you need to spread out, relax and enjoy. The owner is also a really fun person to talk to. Every interaction we had left me feeling like I was visiting with a lifelong friend. This is a absolute 10 out of 10!
