It’s set beneath the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range to the south and the Sawatch Range to the northwest with its 15 peaks over 14,000 feet in elevation (which is why the region’s nickname is the “14ers Region.” The section of Arkansas River that runs near the town is world-famous for whitewater rafting and kayaking.

One of our guest said it best..
'It is much prettier than the pictures lead you to believe. Hot tub is right outside the back door and fenced on one side for privacy. Property manager was super and responded quickly to all questions. We saw llama, deer and wild turkeys wandering around the neighborhood while we stayed. Easy access to both the Monarch ski resort and the town of Salida.

Such a beautiful little place. Relatively private with the river going right through the property- the river bank seemed like a great place for fairies to reside! The cabin was very cozy and inviting, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our breakfast and dinners. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Leona Taylor

Host profile image

We live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It has been a long time dream to live in Colorado, this cabin is a start. We feel quite fortunate to be able to share this special spot with other travelers.

Why they chose this property

We loved the river, convenient location to year round activities and the town of Salida. This area offers all we were looking for and so much more.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has all the conveniences you could want, but the river and fire pit give a feeling of camping outdoors. We get the best of both worlds. It is peaceful to sit under the covered porch and watch the rain or enjoy whatever wildlife might happen by.
