About this property
Enjoy year round activities. Colorado’s finest outdoor activities nearby.
We are ready for you.u
The area provides winter activities for all ages and skill levels. Monarch Mountain ski area is only 10 minutes away, and snow mobile rentals are also conveniently located. You can take simple walks or hike nearby trails most of the winter. Create your own adventures.
Biking, hiking, and off-road trails are just minutes away from the cabin.
Cozy Colorado cabin, on one acre, centrally located in the Heart of the Rockies just 9 miles from Monarch Ski Area. Mt. Monarch Cabin is a convenient, clean and comfortable vacation rental right on a river and close enough to Salida for easy access to restaurants, art galleries and shopping.
Summer activities in this area are endless… ..whitewater rafting, golfing, biking, hiking, off road adventures and so much more.
Soak in the creekside pools at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs-just 35min away-offering full spa services, or Joyful Journey, just 30 min to the south over Poncha Pass.
Salida is a delightful community known for having Colorado's largest historic district. Monarch Mountain Ski Area is one of Colorado's gems reminiscent of how skiing use to be.
Mt. Monarch Cabin offers convenience yet privacy with star gazing from the private hot tub.
Celebrate anniversaries, honeymoons, or just get away. Mountain Spirit Winery is just an easy 5 min. Or dine at one of Salida's restaurants and let the chef cook for you. Enjoy unique riverside dining or quaint restaurants unique to Salida. Convenient grocery shopping in Poncha Springs or Salida
Incorporated in 1880, the charming historic town of Salida was named as one of the 'ten best places to live' by television’s Fine Living program. Salida is known for its mild climate, plentiful outdoor recreational opportunities, and burgeoning arts scene, including the well-respected Salida Museum. 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.

'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.

About the host
Hosted by Leona Taylor
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.
