We’ve stayed here multiple times and really enjoy all of its rustic charm and amenities. It’s great for a small family who enjoy a camping vibe and is very dog friendly.

This was our second time staying here and we thoroughly enjoy it. The property is relaxing and beautiful. We enjoy how remote it feels while still being close to all that Poncha/Salida have to offer. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

The cabin was clean. The bookshelves had a wide variety of reading material. Perfect for setting on the deck soaking up the Colorado outdoors and reading a good book. The hot tub was perfect for soaking weary bodies after a long day of hiking. The S Fork of the Arkansas runs along the back of the property and was fun to fish in the evenings. We would most definitely return. Fun trip!

We stayed here to get eloped in private and it was perfect. The cabin itself is so cute, rustic and romantic all at the same time. It is gorgeous and the wide open space its on gives an amazing view of the mountains. I wish we were able to stay here for more than a weekend, it was just so lovely. We got married here and I am so glad we did.The cabin is clean, the hot tub is great. The description is accurate - the photos dont do enough justice. It's so much more beautiful in person. The cabin is small but just perfect for 2. I would love to stay here again to enjoy the little town of Salida a little more.

The house was clean and cozy, the kids loved the loft and the hot tub. The location was great, close to skiing at Monarch while not too far to go back into Salida. Would highly recommend it for a family get away!
