Great stay! Well appointed and fresh. Lots of great hiking trails near buy. Had a local doe visit us each morning. very private. The covered decks and comfy chairs were excellent for enjoying morning coffee and evening wine. We will be back.
Absolutely stunning home that offers quietude and a spectacular mountain view. Clean and comfortable. Well appointed and stocked with all essential supplies. Our only issue was we should have stayed longer! Hoping to return again soon.
The home is gorgeous, modern, very well-provisioned and thought out for visitors, and nice location for both Monarch and town. We loved our stay. Luxurious modern cabin - yes please!
Vickiâs and Scottâs 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.
This house was one of the highlights of our vacation. It was great place to come "home" to after our daily Colorado adventures. A very luxurious and comfortable place to enjoy the Rocky Mountains!
Our family enjoyed our stay at this house while skiing at Monarch. Close to the mountain and to town yet private with beautiful views. House was very clean and well appointed.
The place is beautiful and all the small touches make it very special. Checking in and out was easy and the owners very responsive. We enjoyed our time there immensely!
Thanks so much- awesome home, great location 10-15 minutes from town and trailheads for hiking at Monarch and Shavano (great view from back porch)
Weâd love to return soon!
This is one of the best experiences Iâve had in 15 years of avoiding hotels. Wonderful home and location, and responsive hosts. If we come back to the area I would certainly see if they have availability.
This property was exceptionally clean and was very nicely furnished. It was great that they had childrenâs toys and outdoor games. We will definitely visit the property again!
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.
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!
My family was looking for a place to get away from the front range for a few days. The house was great and perfect size for our family of four. Secluded location was great with plenty of room for the kids to run around. Canât wait for next trip to this property.
Well designed home, private location thatâs close to river rafting, hot springs and the restaurants and shopping in Salida. This home has everything you might need and then some.
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.
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.
