We really enjoyed our stay. We loved sitting on the front porch looking across at the mountains. The kitchen was very nicely equipped which was nice because we decided to eat in a couple of nights. The suite upstairs would be great for a couple with kids.

Fun Getaway
Very clean and comfortable with plenty of room for 2 adult couples. Kitchen is well stocked. Hosts very responsive.
My family of 4 really enjoyed our stay here. It is close to both Monarch Mountain and Salida, which had several great dining options. Even though it looks and feels remote, it's also within walmart delivery range. Beautiful views and comfortable accommodations.
Everything was clean and the house was well stocked. The location is awesome, close to Salida and Monarch. We loved the double shower heads in the master bath and blackout curtains in the bedrooms.
Perfect place to stay, location right between Monarch and Salida was awesome! Great place to relax after a day on the slopes! Kitchen was well stocked and we were able to pack a few things to prep easy dinners.
Good location relative to hiking trails, downtown Salida, Buena Vista.
Modern amenities ( TV, internet, kitchen).
Very nice home away from home.
Dog friendly!

Great stay!
We loved our stay! House was very clean. Jessica was extremely responsive to any needs that came up which were so few because the place was just that great! Very much appreciated the fragrance free laundry soap and that they did not use air fresheners (plug ins) in the cabin. Would highly recommend this place!

Great home base
We really enjoyed this house. Made a great place to stay to enjoy Salida, Buena Vista, Leadville, Fairplay, Canon City. It had everything we needed and more. Extra pillows, hangers in an accessible closet, a brownie pan and cookie cooling rack... it was great! Communication on what to do on check out was clear and easy. Will definitely be back if we need a place to stay in the area!
I took my family to the Salida Area for Spring break to ski at Monarch Mountain. This home was perfect! It has plenty of room, great layout, very clean and excellent location (15 minutes to Monarch Mountain and 15 minutes to town). But - we felt like we were out! The location also had beautiful Mule Deer hanging out on the property and great views. Property Manager was awesome and communicated very well; very responsive. I would highly recommend it - but - I don’t want it to stay booked up and unavailable for us the next time we travel to the area (this Summer)! lolGreat place; great experience!

Monarch Mountain Blissful Retreat
We rented this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home within 10 minutes of Monarch Mountain for my husband's birthday weekend. Jessica (host) and her team were incredibly responsive and helpful with any of our questions/concerns prior to the rental date. The home was easy to find based on their instructions and tucked away a bit from the main highway (so road noise and traffic/safety for our fur babies was not a problem). The home was incredibly clean and well-stocked with all necessary items for a weekend getaway. The king beds in rooms 1 and 2 were very comfortable, which can be hard to come by in a short-term rental. We loved the views, wide open spaces, and quick drive to ski. Highly, highly recommend, and we cannot wait for the next long weekend when we can come back and enjoy the home again!

This was the 2nd summer in a row that we have booked the Monarch Family Getaway home for our summer vacation. Again it was a fabulous place to stay! We love the location it provides, with easy access to both town activities and mountain trails. We look forward to staying here again! The only suggested improvement: We noticed that there was no lightbulb in one of the living room lamps (on end table), and we could not find any supply of extra bulbs in any of the closets. Thanks for providing such a clean and comfortable home for our family to gather and for great customer service. Deirdre
This place was brand-new level of clean -- virtually spotless, very spacious, very well-stocked with all of the stuff we needed to cook. Very comfortable. The only minor quibble -- which ended up being NBD -- is the location. Judging by the images and descriptions, the property looks to be in the middle of nowhere/remote. In fact, it faces a major highway into Salida and sits next door to a KOA campground (which was deserted, due to the time of year we stayed. So not an issue for us, but may be for someone looking for more peace and quiet at a busier time of year). The location, otherwise — ease of getting in/out of Salida, to Buena Vista, proximity to great hikes — was perfect for us.

Disliked: Location
Decent Rental - Location Not So Much
If you're visiting for the skiing, this location would probably suit you just fine. If you're wanting to get away with some isolation and habitat to explore, this isn't quite your place. The house is just a couple hundred yards off of a main highway, so you do hear the cars, trucks and motorcycles zooming by. The house itself is fine - clean and ample for a family, but not much on nicer amenities and features. Furniture and kitchen items were good so you'll be comfortable, but this is not a place where you'll want to kick back around the cabin and enjoy nature unless you are cool with sitting on the front porch and watching the cars drive by.

Perfect Stay!
Jessica was an amazing host. Our group set out to Ski Monarch and her home was a great place to stay and relax after a day of Skiing. Her place was clean and conveniently located between Monarch and Salida. I would definitely book a stay ar her property again.

Perfect family getaway
This place was just perfect for our family! Felt secluded but still close to town. Great price and location. Easy to clean and such fun features like the fire pit out back and best deck for some morning coffee!
Host was easy to communicate and quick to respond, kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with, check in and check out was easy, beautiful patio, plenty of space for my family and some friends.
