Clean and comfortable

Beautiful home, plenty of space for our group with young children. Beds were comfortable, and we really enjoyed the fireplace at night. Sunrise views are also stunning. If you are coming in the summer- the outdoor spaces look lovely! We couldn’t enjoy them as much because of the cold. House is about 25 minutes to monarch mountain and 4 minutes to downtown salida.

Great Family Getaway

We had a wonderful time during our stay and loved visiting the horses and seeing the cattle and all the roaming deer. It was a perfect layout for the 8 of us. We loved the outdoor space both on the front porch and the table on the side was large enough for us to eat outside. The house was very close to town and conveniently located to hike, mountain bike and go white water rafting. We will rent again when returning to Salida.

A real gem close to town

A comfortable and quiet place to stay while you partake in all the activities in the area. It will be my go-to place when I visit Salida.

Great Family Gathering

Great place on a beautiful property. Good communication and check in. The house is nicely appointed and spacious. The place was very clean. Family room is a little small with limited furniture, but otherwise the rooms are large and the kitchen and dining area had plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen could be a little better equipped for this price range- it had all the essentials but no big bowls for mixing or serving and very limited cleaning supplies (no scrubber for dishes, just a single cut in half sponge). Coffee machine was a little tricky to figure out. The ranch hand (or maybe owner?) was friendly as was Hank the dog. Great outdoor space with lots of seating. Grill is charcoal so you’ll need to provide your own briquettes. The only real con was the parking - all spots actually next to the house were blocked off with ropes or rocks so you have to park near the drive, which is basically down a small but steep embankment. Not a big deal at all, but you do have to carry all your stuff up or toss it up into the yard like we did. Overall this was a great place for our family and we would definitely stay here again. The ranch is beautiful and we would have loved to explore it more if we had the time.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Bott

Retired custom homebuilder. I re-built this old farmhouse into a custom home from the ground up. The only thing remaining was the four walls and the roof. after building 600 homes I built this one just for me and my taste and I think you will like what I did. I always wanted a sink in my bedroom, so each room has it's own vanity and sink.
You also have access to over 280 acres to hike and explore.
