Just as wonderful as first visit
So close to Salida, but you feel miles away. The pond and river and surroundings are very peaceful. The house is very comfortable and the bookshelf has a wonderful mix of books. We also enjoyed the hot tub.

Beautiful Location
This is an adorable guest house on a ranch property. The house was comfortable and clean. While we didn't have an opportunity to take advantage of all the fun activies on the property because of our schedule, they all looked amazing. Also, very nice owners!

Love this place!
We have stayed here the last three summers and will continue to do so! We have 2 dogs who love the outdoor freedom and swimming in the pond. The cabin is adorable and very cozy. The fire pit gives the camping vibe but you can then jump in the hot tub and sleep in comfort. You do share the property with the owners and their home but they are great! I only mention so you know and make your decision accordingly. You have plenty of space and privacy. It’s a great space for small family.

Perfect Peace
The guest house is perfectly located and well maintained. You are within a few minutes of downtown Salida and all the wonderful hiking, biking, and river activities one could want. The guest house has a great view of the mountains and sits on a lovely landscape of trees, trout streams, pastures, and well kept grounds.

Beyond What We Expected!!!
The pictures do not do this place justice. The mountain views, amenities and property are better than displayed in the listing. The guest house is nestled in the trees with a stunning backdrop of the mountain peaks and feels very private. The guest house probably needs a few upgrades, such as the tub and shower and there is no dishwasher, but provides everything needed. We were able to walk the acreage, enjoy the private pond with paddle boards and zipline, and walk along property's riverside. The rooms were spacious and cozy. The dining nook was adorable. The owner provided nice robes, towels and blankets. We would definitely come back and stay longer next time now knowing how quaint, yet complete this location is!

A Gem!
This place is a true gem with beautiful views and an idyllic setting. Our two dogs loved swimming in the pond and we spent many hours just sitting outside listening to the river (raging in June). The guest cabin is close to the main house but the owners did a great job of making it feel private with trees. It is on a working ranch so the neighboring cows walked by the property every morning and also hung out on the other side of the fence. Lots of calves this time of year. Our one dog could care less, our other was a bit too interested. The cabin itself has a king bed on the main floor and two twin beds in the loft. We found internet access to be fine and had 5G in certain areas. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the grill and hot tub are nice to have. It is 10 mins outside of downtown Salida. We loved our stay and will absolutely book again!

mountain valley fun
Perfectly sited cabin for jumping off for fabulous spring hikes. The cabin is quiet, private and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Chip fixed the water heater immediately when the pilot light decided to extinguish itself and it was great to chat with him. Would stay again for sure!

The cabin is perfect for a quiet weekend away. Its easy to get in and out of Salida and has great access to the beautiful outdoor spaces of the Southern Sawatch range. It is very clean and everything was easy to find and operate.
