Great secluded spot for the family
What a fun cabin to stay at while visiting Salida and surrounding areas. Our family was there to ski at Monarch. The cabin is an easy drive to the ski area. The hot tub was a big hit with the kids. Secluded, with a beautiful woods area behind the cabin. Easy drive to Salida for supplies or dinner. Owners were EXTREMELY responsive and very welcoming. Some of the best we have had. Thanks for a great stay.

Amazing little cabin in the woods!
Staying at this property was truly magical. My sister and I had an amazing time. It took us a few minutes to figure out the remotes, the fire place and a few other things but oh my gosh of all of the vacation rentals we have stayed at this is by far the best. It was clean, the beds were soft and comfortable, the hot tub was immaculate. Be warry when washing dished you run out of hot water quick so don't let it run. Lol Jean you were an amazing host, thank you for sharing your home with us!

Rustic made sort of classic
Inside decor was nice. Uneven floors were a stubbed toe or a fall looking to happen. Cheap kitchen floor covering curled up at the corners. Apparently temporary to cover broken tile floor. Lack of bathroom privacy is unacceptable. Where are the doors? Priced at new built rental rate but not close in comfort. Master bedroom slant toward the creek is just uncomfortable. Not worth the money

Remote Hideaway
Every VRBO is different. This cabin was clean, well stocked and as pictured. We had two large trucks and trailers towing off road vehicles. Parking and turning around was an issue. For the normal traveler it would have been fine. The property manager could be very condescending. She implied we didn't know how to drive and back. I owned a boat store...I think we can put that criticism to rest. Sadly, it appears there is an ongoing dispute between the surrounding property owner and this VRBO owner/manager. For the normal traveler without trailers it would be a nonissue. Once again, it was a great cabin. I asked before booking about parking for our vehicles and was assured there was plenty. I also asked if our friends in an RV could park there and if there was room. I was told there was room and it would be $50 a night more for two additional guests. They choose not to take that option. Good thing...there was no room and they could have never been able to get up the road or park. She had no memory of that conversation. Funny, how would I have know the price? In closing, great property, just beware when booking any VRBO. Honesty and ethics are hard to judge in pictures.

Lovely cabin
We loved this cabin. So spacious and peaceful. In the middle of the woods and secluded. However, if you are looking for a place to wake up and hike or walk, this not the place, as it is on one acre and the surrounding property is off limits. This was fine for us, as there are so many amazing places within an hours drive to hike, fish, enjoy nature. We highly recommend.

Cabin in Salida
There was only one full bathroom in the cabin. (Advertised as two). Window behind the a/c unit had a hornet's nest nearby and they got in and I stepped on 2 of them and they stung me. Window needs to be sealed. No dish towels in kitchen. No pillow cases on big pillows we used. No bathroom kleenex. Other than these minor problems, we had a fun time and enjoyed our stay. These are mostly minor problems that can be fixed except for the one bathroom. When we contacted Jean, she always got right back to us. Overall, it was a nice place to stay and we had a good week in Colorado.

Beautiful, comfortable and perfect for our needs! The kids complained about the internet being slow on our down time, but it wasn’t a big deal to the adults except when buying fishing licenses. The games were great to have - my kids played a ton of chess! The creek noise was so relaxing and the hot tub was very welcome at the end of our long days - thank you!

Overall comments of stay
The hot tub was clean and worked great. The overall cleanness of the house was good. There was not central heating for the house, each room had its own space heater. This was not a bad thing, just a comment. There were several small spiders in the house, understand this is a difficult time to control insects but may need to spray in the house more.

Beautiful Location
Positives: This cabin is in a beautiful location. The host had great communication. The hot tub was amazing even though there were people with flashlights walking around while we were in there. The beds were comfortable and the check in process was easy. Negatives: We encountered a few unwelcomed friends, mostly spiders that were all over the house, including bath towels, showers, in the rooms and in the kitchen. One actually landed on my wife's face while sitting at the table. After letting Jean know privately about the spider issue, she replied with its because of the location and she sprays twice a year. My father lived in the mountains, next to a stream and sprayed for spiders quarterly due to the amount that would take over the house. My opinion if you rent out a property it should not be ok that your renters are tormented by spiders the entire time. I gave her the opportunity to maybe do something about it before the next renters came but she truly didn't seem to care about fixing the problem, she just wrote it off to location and the previous renters leaving the back door open. The mouse in the house that ran around the kitchen twice is more understandable than the spiders are. I was overcharged for my 2 add. guests, I was told 1 price per guest, but when Jean sent over the request it was more. I went ahead and paid anyways. She did however refund half of that back for us coming into the house with it at a FREEZING 44 degrees due to the back door being left open. My wife and I own a business in Centennial. We know how important reviews are, so we tried to give her the opportunity to fix the issues we had without putting it out in the public but since she basically blew us off with just an apology and no intensions of fixing it so the next guest didn't have to endure the same things we did, I have decided to put it out in public so future renters can decide if they want to go rent a cabin to share it with tons of spiders and a very friendly mouse. Even with the bad that we encountered during our stay, we respected the property, the owners, we picked up after our service dog, followed the rules of the property and did all of our check out procedures to a T, in saying this I sure hope the next renter doesn't get told that I left the back door open when in fact the cleaners did it and that's why there's spiders everywhere...

Material Omissions, Rats & Rat feces in Dishes
The following: -Invasive and obnoxious Ring Camera in your face at the front door. Landlord watched us and offered unsolicited comments. Grossly invasive. -No Central Heat; space heaters that tripped multiple circuits and dried everything out. Fireplace not working upon arrival. -Rats got into our unopened food on multiple days that was kept in the kitchen. Rat feces in pans. We have pictures to substantiate. This was on the 4th day and we simply left due to all previous issues. We have rented multiple cabins in Salida and other areas of Colorado and have never had an experience like this one. Would absolutely not stay at this property again, nor recommend.

Great relaxing stay!
We came in from Iowa looking for a place to stay that was close to Monarch. This place was perfect! Only a 20-25minute drive to the Mtn. & close to Salida if you want to eat out a night or two. We made our own meals in the well equipped kitchen most nights. The fireplace and hot tub were great amenities. Beds are amazing! We will be staying here again. Make sure to read directions for entering property before arriving as it can be just a little confusing.
