Amazing get-a-way by the river

The home was very inviting, plenty of room for all. The home and property were dog friendly and that made our stay-cation (We only live about an hour away) easy and super relaxing.

Beautiful property!

We brought our in laws here for little getaway. The property was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. Proximity to salida and buena vista was great when we wanted to be in town and close to some of our note hikes in the area. Beds could use updating but overall extremely happy with our stay here.

Beautiful home that was a great base for exploring the area and plenty of space to hunker down and rest, read, watch a movie in a beautiful setting.Nice kitchen, we made good use of stove and oven, and charcoal grill.It’s a short walk down to the river, and you can see it clearly out the windows and from the many decks.

Lovely property

House was as described. Very comfortable. Took us a little bit to figure out where all the heating zones were, but once we did all was good! Views were beautiful and we had deer visit every day. Antelope in the field coming to the house. Would love to stay again!

Perfect Getaway

The location was perfect being about 10 minutes from downtown Salida, where we enjoyed shopping and watching the annual duck races, and 20 minutes from Buena Vista where we did a half day rafting trip. The location was very private and had several outdoor seating areas to enjoy the mountain and river views. Inside the home also had several seating areas, all of which were extremely comfortable! We ate at the house for a couple of meals and had everything we needed ( the kitchen was amazing). We will definitely stay here next time we want a weekend getaway!

Quiet Views

The house has great views of the river and surrounding mountains and is at the end of a dirt road with almost no traffic. As I was leaving a couple had parked near the property's fence and was walking toward the river. If I wasn't leaving at the time, I would have never noticed them.

By the river but that might be jusy our family

We were looking for a place to hang together as a family and enjoy the outdoors. We had good fishing, son in law caught and released 5 who fishes around Colorado a lot. Husband had difficulty wading but had several to release. Kitchen supplied well for our needs and we had a wonderful time browsing Salida and walking around town. Only suggestion you need a puzzle table. It is a perfect spot to watch the light change, sip beverage and puzzle away!

Complete Tranquility

Our family (myself, my husband and our 10 yr old son absolutely loved this cabin. It is set back in near the river with the closest house maybe 75 yards away. It was very clean and had most of what we needed until we went to the store the next day… we brought quite a bit of food but just needed items such as ketchup and mustard. My husband and son fished the river every single day and our son caught his first brown trout! The path to the river is a little steep but nothing unmanageable or inconvenient. We saw tons of antelope around the property with one buck even grazing at the driveway about 15 feet from the side porch! The only pests that we encountered were spiders (which is understandable with the cold moving in and being so close to the river) but I found spider spray and sprayed around the doorways and never saw one after that. The fireplaces were amazing and so cozy! The location was great and we can’t wait to come back next year!!!
