This cozy cabin was perfect for my husband and our pup. We had a very pleasant stay and the white noise of the rushing water was great for sleeping. It was perfect for our stay.

Quaint and cozy

My sister and I lived staying in this little cabin. We appreciated the ability to bring her dog with us. It's the perfect cabin for 1 or 2 people. Great amenities and use of the space. It's close to Monarch pass, Salida, and Mt. Princeton. We visited all of those places with ease. Thank you!

Simple and great

This little cabin was wonderful. For as small as it is, it’s well planned out for everything you need. Cozy and beautiful views. Highway can be noisy which was listed on the description, but with white noice maker it was not noticeable. It’s very close to monarch crest trail parking lot and also only 15 min to Salida. Great location and easy check in.

Cute & cozy cabin in a funny location

This place has everything you need! It’s little but uses space very efficiently. It seems brand new. The only downside is it’s right next to the highway. You can’t hear any traffic from inside the cabin, thankfully, but it would have nice to sit outside the place without hearing it.

Everything you could need

Very thoughtfully laid out and furnished home. It had everything we could have wanted for a Monarch ski weekend. We used the smart tv to watch nfl playoff games and didn’t have Wi-Fi issues. Also was surprised not to notice any road noise given proximity to main road. Easy access to Monarch ski area, Salida and nearby hiking. Would stay again!

Small but cool…

Cabin is small, but very cool. It has everything you need. Negatives: -VERY close to the highway, some road noise from big trucks. -you have to hand wash all dishes at check out (no dish washer and why am I paying a cleaning charge?) -you are supposed to take all trash to a locked dumpster about 200 yards up the road, but they must have changed the lock because the combination does not work.
