Great location on Poncha Springs/Salida line making the major state and US highway routes accessible. Views from the home are outstanding, deck is placed well with view of the mountains. Salida itself is pretty cool! While we were staying here more for its proximity to various National Parks/Monuments and some of the scenic railroads, we found the city quite vibrant.

Had a great experience at the house. Perfect location, amazing views, tons of deer and turkey almost every morning and afternoon. There's tons of space so no one felt on top of each other. Nice hiking area right behind the house. Less than 10 minutes from town and the closest grocery store (Walmart) and still feels super rural. some really cool towns within 30 minutes and the sloops. We would definitely stay here again.

COZY AND CONVENIENT

We stayed here Fri & Sat night for a ski trip at Monarch. Wendy (the host) was wonderfully communicative! The house was super spacious, beds were comfortable, kitchen and all rooms were perfect! We especially LOVED the wood burning stove where we made smores! The ping pong table was a bonus too!**Highly recommend staying here!**

Great Base Camp for Skiing

This was the perfect rental for our family as we skied this weekend! Sweeping views of Poncha Springs, Salida, and the whole Sawatch Range! The home is great with five bedrooms that easily slept our family and my in-laws. The basement has a ping pong table and tv that kept us entertained during our down time, and the best part was it was only 20 minutes to Monarch! Definitely would recommend this property for a ski trip stop!
