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.

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.

We wanted to take a long weekend away from Colorado Springs and this was perfect! Hiked, explored, and just hung out. The property was exactly as described and the overstocked kitchen was very much appreciated as we had forgotten a few items!

Incredible week @ Mt. Monarch Cabin!

Everything we needed seemed to be at the cabin and in good condition. We were unable to enjoy all the amenities with such a short stay. Thinking of a longer stay in the future. Thanks for having us.

This is a comfy, rustic cabin with the perfect location for a few days away. We loved the hot tub and the fire pit, the well-stocked kitchen, and proximity to hiking and all the other things Salida has to offer. Already thinking about when we can come back.

Great Getaway

We came for our anniversary and we’re very pleased with the cabin: very comfortable with everything we wanted, especially the gas fireplace and the hot tub. The location gave us easy access to Salina, Buena Vista, Monarch Pass, and the beautiful surrounding areas. The hosts were great and very responsive. We would definitely stay there again, and highly recommend it for a romantic couples getaway.

Awesome Cabin and Amazing Host

Great place for a getaway, even better host. Leona is a Top Tier Host, she was very accommodating making sure we had an amazing stay. The cabin is so much nicer than the pictures let on. Very cozy and comfortable. Best part is the hot tub that is literally two steps from the back door. This was our first time using VRBO and this stay didn't disappoint. We are already trying to plan our trip back. Thank you again Leona, hopefully we can visit again in the summer.

Summer vacation in Maysville

This property did not dissappoint. We were looking for a cabin out of town and this was perfect. It's right by a creek, on the way up to Monarch pass. It is higher altitude than Salida and was nice and cool the entire time. Lot's of outdoor activities close by and Salida is only a 10 minute drive away. I will definitely stay here again. Jack

Cozy Cabin

We had a great time at this cabin! It is so cute and cozy and the hot tub was a great addition after a long day of skiing. It's close to Salida and Poncha Springs and the views on short walks down the road were amazing. There is some road noise when you are outside of the cabin but we didn't notice it when we were inside. We will be back!

Men's Retreat

Great property located far enough out to be secluded but close enough to Salida for restaurants, coffee houses, and breweries. The cabin was spacious, clean and the perfect setting for two buddies from two different states to have a couple of days to hang out and catch up without our families. We enjoyed the hot tub and time spent sitting by the creek. Highly recommend.

Cozy Cabin for Ski Trip!

This is my family's second year staying in this cabin. It is conveniently located between Salida and Monarch Mountain. My family enjoyed coming back to the cabin after a long day of skiing and relaxing in the hot tub. While in the hot tub you will notice the honking traffic that passes by. Please look into the story behind this because it's pretty interesting!

Perfect Getaway

This cabin/location couldn't have been more perfect for our anniversary trip. It was so clean and stocked with everything to make us feel like we were right at home. Despite being along the highway, it was very quiet and peaceful. The creek on the property was beautiful and made for the perfect white noise while sleeping with the windows open. We will definitely be back! Also, Leona was awesome! Super helpful and quick to respond.

This property is perfect for those of us who want slightly more than a local hotel offers (privacy, kitchen, pets, outdoor space, etc). After reading the reviews, my wife and I booked 2 nights with our small dog over the 4th of July weekend 2025. Everything was great and the price was very reasonable. The king bed is comfortable. The living space was cozy. The creek is a nice addition. We sat on the front porch a lot and saw deer on the property both days. Although the property is private, there is some noise from the main road on the other side of the creek but it didn’t really bother us. I have no complaints. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
