Rustic Cabin
This is a cute rustic cabin away from everything. Property was nice but overgrown and could use some good landscaping with solar lighting to the hot tub for safety. Master bedroom bed was a little too soft and uncomfortable but overall the house is nice and spacious.

Salida Slice of Paradise
Without question will be returning as this stay was everything we expected and more. Nestled amongst a dense wooded area, the stay provided us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the serenity that only nature can provide. The cabin was exactly as described and Jean was very responsive and accommodating. A much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Ohh, especially enjoyed the hummingbird nest at the back of the cabin....and can't forget the hot tub (I'm not normally a hot tub person) - but took full advantage of the relaxing opportunity. Thanks Jean for allowing us to enjoy your cabin.

Slice of Heaven
Two old classmates of mine came out from Ohio for vacation. We haven’t seen each other in over 40 years. They absolutely loved it. We went to St. Elmo and visited the chipmunks, drove through the Moffat Tunnels, and had a snowball fight at the top of the Continental Divide in June. The creek by the cabin was mesmerizing. Thank you for another amazing stay!

Great secluded spot for the family
What a fun cabin to stay at while visiting Salida and surrounding areas. Our family was there to ski at Monarch. The cabin is an easy drive to the ski area. The hot tub was a big hit with the kids. Secluded, with a beautiful woods area behind the cabin. Easy drive to Salida for supplies or dinner. Owners were EXTREMELY responsive and very welcoming. Some of the best we have had. Thanks for a great stay.

Amazing little cabin in the woods!
Staying at this property was truly magical. My sister and I had an amazing time. It took us a few minutes to figure out the remotes, the fire place and a few other things but oh my gosh of all of the vacation rentals we have stayed at this is by far the best. It was clean, the beds were soft and comfortable, the hot tub was immaculate. Be warry when washing dished you run out of hot water quick so don't let it run. Lol Jean you were an amazing host, thank you for sharing your home with us!

Rustic made sort of classic
Inside decor was nice. Uneven floors were a stubbed toe or a fall looking to happen. Cheap kitchen floor covering curled up at the corners. Apparently temporary to cover broken tile floor. Lack of bathroom privacy is unacceptable. Where are the doors? Priced at new built rental rate but not close in comfort. Master bedroom slant toward the creek is just uncomfortable. Not worth the money

Remote Hideaway
Every VRBO is different. This cabin was clean, well stocked and as pictured. We had two large trucks and trailers towing off road vehicles. Parking and turning around was an issue. For the normal traveler it would have been fine. The property manager could be very condescending. She implied we didn't know how to drive and back. I owned a boat store...I think we can put that criticism to rest. Sadly, it appears there is an ongoing dispute between the surrounding property owner and this VRBO owner/manager. For the normal traveler without trailers it would be a nonissue. Once again, it was a great cabin. I asked before booking about parking for our vehicles and was assured there was plenty. I also asked if our friends in an RV could park there and if there was room. I was told there was room and it would be $50 a night more for two additional guests. They choose not to take that option. Good thing...there was no room and they could have never been able to get up the road or park. She had no memory of that conversation. Funny, how would I have know the price? In closing, great property, just beware when booking any VRBO. Honesty and ethics are hard to judge in pictures.

Lovely cabin
We loved this cabin. So spacious and peaceful. In the middle of the woods and secluded. However, if you are looking for a place to wake up and hike or walk, this not the place, as it is on one acre and the surrounding property is off limits. This was fine for us, as there are so many amazing places within an hours drive to hike, fish, enjoy nature. We highly recommend.
