Enjoyable Stay

Vicki’s and Scott’s place is ideal for a family retreat. The home is situated on a large lot and beautifully nestled in nature. All you see around you are trees, mountains, and, quite often, a family of deer. Inside, everything is of top quality, with cozy heated floors, lovely bathrooms featuring high-end fixtures, a beautiful master bedroom with a well-organized walk-in closet, and a well-equipped kitchen, among other things. The tasteful decorations reflect the spirit of the local culture and the love the owners put into building and organizing this home. It was a great pleasure returning to this place after a full day of skiing.

A Little Slice of Mountain Heaven

We had an absolutely lovely time on this property! We wish we'd had more time to enjoy all the deck space. We found everything very comfortable and were impressed with the thoughtfulness of design, decoration, and house provisions. The "neighborhood" was so quiet, it was easy to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and stargaze. It was great to have a small trail on property! We'd certainly book again if/when we come back to the area.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I was looking for a comfortable place to spend a few weeks during the summer, a place where I could prepare my own meals I a well stocked kitchen, and be close enough to Salida and Buena Vista to take advantage of all they have to offer. The hosts were welcoming and accessible, and it was a wonderfully relaxing time for me. It was perfect!

Absolutely perfect!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. We loved the location because it was private and quiet, but very close to town and everything Salida has to offer. The owners have thought of every detail to make you feel at home. My favorite is the wrap around porch with the mountain view and deer that frequented the property (so many hummingbirds this time of year too!). It was quiet and absolutely perfect. Owners were kind and communication was quick and easy. We wouldn't hesitate to rent again - highly recommend.

Wonderful hospitality!

We so enjoyed our stay in your home. This was one of the most well equipped homes we have stayed in - from games, blankets, outdoor seating, welcome snacks, soap & shower items to all you would need in a fully equipped kitchen. You surely have a gift of hospitality & we felt so much at home. Thank you!

Great Cabin

Wow! This property was perfect. The cabin was very clean and is decorated very nicely! The kitchen has everything you need, from the great selection of spices to utensils to the filtered water, and is well organized. The heated floors were a nice surprise. The location was secluded but close to Monarch. If you stay here do not miss Mountain Spirit winery just a mile or so away, try the port dessert wine!

Beautiful Place of Silence and Solitude

This property is the best of all worlds. Its location in a quiet valley just miles from Salida is a stunning landscape of mountains, farms, and ranches. Tucked away on a wooded patch of ground, one can forget that there's a hectic, demanding world beyond. Everything about this property is just as described. Clean and inviting, it is well-appointed with everything one needs for a quiet (very quiet) stay. If you're traveling to the area, you should definitely consider this as your place to stay.

Perfect home away from home stay

Everything about Scott & Vicki’s place is even better than the listing details show. We couldn’t have picked a more peaceful setting to enjoy our stay in CO. The house is well cared for with so much more than expected. Easy in/out and great communication with our hosts. They have things very well covered with all that is provided. We enjoyed the house layout to gather or enjoy quiet time alone. The large deck wrapped around three sides of the house was so nice to enjoy the views and outdoor resident deer, rabbits, chipmunks, and variety of birds. The flowers around the house were a perfect fit to showcase the house in the quiet wilderness surrounding it. We hiked the trail around the property, enjoyed the hammock/picnic area, and had some rousing matches of corn hole as a family. WI-FI was good with multiple devices online and streaming/surfing at times when we weren’t enjoying everything else about the property or our CO stay. The location is a great point to start from in multiple directions. Everywhere we went, we saw different character showcasing the beautiful state of CO. The mountains, the basins, the rivers, the waterfalls, the sunrises and sunsets - all fantastic! Thank you Scott & Vicki for offering your wonderful property and home!! We are very thankful to be able to stay with you and will keep it on our favorites to visit again in the future!

perfect blend of seclusion and proximity to activities

Our stay at this beautifully appointed home was a highlight of our Colorado summer travels. We appreciated the thought and care that went in to preparing the kitchen and the spaces for relaxing and for meals both indoors and out. The private location in a draw with mountain views in both directions was really inviting, and great to return to after the many activities in the area. We definitely want to stay again.

Bed styles

House is very nice, well equipped with items that you use. I didn’t notice when looking at the pictures of the rooms that the single beds are close to the floor. .It was a challenge getting out of the of bed for the senior citizens which was in our party. The knats invaded the bathroom on the main floor. Lots of black bugs on the sink and tub. Loved the location, easy to get to

Perfect home away from home

This house was exactly what we were looking for during our stay. We came during the FIBArk festival weekend and it was close enough to get to downtown Salida but you also got to come back to a peaceful, secluded spot to relax. You can tell the owners take great pride and care of the home and thought about what guests might want/need. I would highly recommend this property and we would love to come back another time!

About the host

Hosted by Vicki M

Host profile image
I am a happily transplanted New Yorker since 2000 and consider CO to be my "true" home. My husband is a native and has spent many years living, working and playing in Chaffee county. He worked ski patrol for Monarch in the 80's and 90's and held many odd jobs including photographer for a rafting company, wildland firefighter and Salida hot springs pool manager. We met each other for the first time while skiing with mutual friends at Monarch. He introduced me to telemarking and backcountry touring. Fittingly, we tied the knot at the top of tumbelina lift a few years later. We both love Colorado and everything it has to offer. We currently reside full-time outside of Colorado Springs with our lovable dog and feisty cat. We spend our free time enjoying the great outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property several years back after falling in love with the trees and mountain views. Before building, we enjoyed our property by camping under the stars and riding bikes every weekend. The build took 2 years and was truly a labor of love that allowed us to become good friends with the neighbors who helped us build our dream home getaway. The proximity to all things amazing is why we love this property. We are minutes way from riding epic mountain biking trails (monarch crest, cottonwood to name a few), skiing, backpacking and climbing 14ers.
