Great house in a great location, especially for a big group. The house is spacious so it doesn’t feel crowded even with lots of people. There are lots of games, books, and movies, including for kids, which was great for keeping everyone entertained. The view is amazing, and it’s a quick drive into downtown Salida. The property manager was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. I would definitely recommend the house and plan to stay here again!

We loved the space, but didn't notice it was by a county highway. The headlights and the sound of cars driving by made it hard to have a good night's sleep with the window and shades open to cool the upstairs. If there had been air conditioning, the issue would have been avoided, or if the temperature had been cool enough to keep the windows closed, but it wasn't. The air fryer was also dirty when we arrived, and we couldn't find a shovel to pick up our dog poop, and there were no bags per the welcome sign in the house for dog poop.We liked that we could have family playing pool and other games in one area of the house, and the other side of the house was quiet when needed. I appreciate the hostess, who always answered my questions in a prompt time frame.

Perfect house with a great view for a family vacation and trip to Mt. Princeton Hot Spring.

The house was very clean, perfect size and layout for a big family vacation with ages ranging from 3 to 70. Game room was so much fun for all of us!!! Beautiful views and close to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs and downtown Salida. Communication with the host was very easy, thorough, with quick response. Definitely 5 out of 5 experience in every way!!!

Family Vacation

An amazing home with plenty of space to accommodate my entire family! The large kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed to make meals for a large group. The game room was amazing to help entertain yhe kids and one of the main reasons we chose this home. Plus it's a separate wing of the home so noise was never a factor for those who stay up later. It was a short drive to Monarch to ski.It is outside of town with amazing views. A quiet neighborhood. We could walk the dog to his content.Great communication with the host.

Good stay in the Arkansas Valley

Had a good weekend stay in the at the New Big Sky in the Arkansas Valley near Salida. The home is relatively new, very clean and easily accommodates 8-10 people. The beds are very comfy and has a nice game area. The layout is bit jumbled with two building connected by a long hallway. We did note door lock did not work and had to used the garage key pad. There are a few eclectic issues with lighting, dead electrical outlets, and functionality of the TV.

Dream Mountain stay

The Hostess was as sweet as the day is long, the property is gorgeous and clean and in the perfect location. The views are stunning, even for a Colorado resident, I could sit in that living room all day and stare at Mt. Shavano. Loved having the garage to park the jeeps with the t-tops off, and the yard for Pearl our Great Pyrenees. This place is top notch, thank you for the memories!

Perfect house for our family reunion

House was perfect for our family. We had 6 adults, 4 teens, and 2 pups and were all very comfortable. The game room & entertainment space is in an area separate from the bedrooms so even when some were up playing pool and video games late, the others were able to go to sleep without hearing anything. The house was clean and comfortable. Kristan was a great host, super responsive to any questions before and during our stay. Highly recommend!

Wonderful views, plenty of room

We stayed here with our family group of 12…ages 11-71. The game room was well-used and enjoyed by all. We ate most meals at the home and the kitchen was large enough and well-stocked with appliances, tableware, and cooking utensils enough to make food preparation easy and fun. The views from this home are just fabulous. Our stay was during the hottest days of summer, and with no air conditioning, the upstairs bedroom occupants were pretty uncomfortable for the hours from 4:00pm to 11:00pm even though there were a few fans available and the windows and skylights were open and the ceiling fans were on. Most VRBO homes in this area do not have AC, and this home is so wonderful, clean, well-located and well cared for that we’d stay here again anyhow.
