About this property

Your perfect mountain getaway! Only 2.5 hours from Denver with amazing views of the Sangre de Cristo and Collegiate peak mountain ranges right from the front porch.

Only 3 miles to downtown Salida situated in a serene rural neighborhood with fully accessible paved (and snow plowed) roads and never ending views of the milky-way in the evenings.

Enjoy fishing, tubing or rafting the Arkansas river, skiing or boarding Monarch mountain (only a 30 minute drive) and quick access to Salida’s famous mountain biking / hiking trail system only a 1/4 mile from the house.

Enjoy coffee, breakfast, or cocktails on one of our three decks with 270 degree views of mountains and frequent visiting wildlife including deer, summer hummingbirds and pinon jays.

Amenities include : Hi-def Roku TV (with access to your subscription services - NO CABLE TV), flick-of-a-switch propane fireplace for warmth and ambience, ample outdoor parking on driveway (no covered parking), outdoor gas fire table, outdoor grill, brand new appliances and comfortable furniture, high efficiency washer & dryer and heated bathroom floors all add up to making your stay better than being at home. Please note for summer renters there is no central A/C, but with 50-60 degree nights it’s rarely needed with wonderfully cool evening breezes. We do have window and room fans for each room.

Sleeping Arrangements are as follows for 5-6 guests:
• Master Bedroom: Queen bed with USB charging lamps / outlets and newly remodeled ensuite bathroom with heated tile floors (Queen - sleeps 2)
• 2nd Bedroom: Queen bed with USB charging lamps / outlets and newly remodeled shared full bathroom with heated tile floors (Queen - sleeps 2)
• 3rd Bedroom: Full/Double bed with USB charging outlets. This smaller bedroom shares the bathroom with the 2nd bedroom. It is ideally set up for one person but can sleep two smaller people / kids (Full bed - sleeps 1-2). Winter Renters - please note that our home is heated with a propane furnace on the same level as the bedrooms which can sound like a large fan when it is running - the sound in the twin bedroom can be challenging for light sleepers. In winter, we recommend that guests who have sleep/sound sensitivities bring ear plugs.

This is a non-smoking property - this means no smokers.

Sorry, but we cannot accept pets.

Please note that there are Ring cameras on the exterior of this property for the protection of the homeowners and our guests.

Thank you again for your interest in Casa de Piñones and we look forward to you staying at our wonderful mountain getaway.

Considerable amenities, thoughtfully upgraded

The rental was just the right size for our group of four adults but could accommodate five. The home has been modernized and is very attractive with plenty of appliances, cookware and utensils for daily meals. I appreciated the local flavor of the furnishings and artwork, especially Austin’s, and the views were outstanding.

About the host

Hosted by Austin

My wife and I purchased Casa de Piñones (House of the Piñons - these are all of the trees surrounding the house) in 2017. After renting it full-time for a number of years we have
spent the better part of a year-and-a-half remodeling almost every aspect of it. We hope that you enjoy our little oasis in Salida and the surrounding areas.

Why they chose this property

There are a plethora of activities to do in our wonderful valley. Everything from dining, to running class 4 rapids, to skiing our epic mountains, hiking & mountain biking and fishing the Arkansas river. We encourage you to do them all. Thank you again for renting our house. We hope that you have a wonderful stay.
