10 Minutes To Monarch Mountain, the Arkansas River and 10 Minutes To Salida!

This is a beautiful 2100 square foot Colorado home with new paint inside and out and new furniture. The kitchen was remodeled and added top of the line Kenmore appliances, granite and tile. Starlink internet was just installed with 200 MB's. Just 10 minutes from the Monarch Mountain ski area, historic Salida and the Arkansas river nestled in the shadows of Mt Shavano.

This property is centrally located just minutes away from hundreds of hiking, biking, ATV and Jeep trails and to the Arkansas river with over 9 rafting companies that specialize in navigating the river up to and including class 5 rapids. The Arkansas is also known for fishing and kayaking and hosts many competitive sporting events a year.

Walking distance from the front door is the Mountain Spirit Winery, a lovely must visit located on the south fork of the Arkansas River.

Please keep in mind that in the winter, front wheel/four-wheel drive vehicles or vehicle chains may be required to maneuver not only the short gravel road leading to the house, but will certainly be required when traversing the pass to get to Monarch Mountain.

Stayed here early March for a weekend ski trip to Monarch. Worked out perfectly for our adult group of 7. Right off the main road, short trip to Salida to eat dinner, made it to the mountain in 10min in the mornings.

Host was great! Allowed us to check in early, which was really nice and allowed us to prepare dinner for guests who were arriving later. Home was in immaculate condition and a perfect location for quick access to skiing at Monarch and amenities in Poncha Springs/Salida. Will definitely be booking again!

The host was EXTREMEMLY accommodating and let us check out whenever was convenient. The location was so much more than what the picture showed. The location was awesome, right next to My. Shavano (Bluebird) rentals, and only a 15 minute drive from Monarch Mountain. Our stay was awesome!
