• Beautiful Mountain Getaway

  5/5

  Gorgeous views, lovely and spacious home, near fun little mountain town of Salida. We enjoyed skiing at Monarch and ringing in the new year in downtown Salida. Host was friendly, easily reachable, and gave lots of thorough instructions and ideas for things to do.

  This place was definitely created with a lot of love and appreciation for the natural beauty of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range and community. We were awe struck by the silence, views and comfort of this place. The silence was only broken by the occasional sounds of the neighboring horses grazing throughout the day, sounds of night crickets and an occasional elk bugle. The deer crossed in groups in the early morning light. We were there on a new moon so the star gazing and photography was spectacular at night. We experiences the wonderful fall colors of the area during the day. The cabin accommodates enjoyment of all of these amenities with comfortable outdoor/indoor sitting areas and a very complete kitchen for preparing good comfort cuisine. The indoor decorum also has lovely knick-knacks, hanging art and admirably crafted construction to admire while relaxing. Appreciated the cleanliness as well.On more than one occasion we took wonderful hikes on the Hayden Creek Trail in the San Isabel National Forest, trails within a 10 minute drive from the cabin. The trees in this forest area are diverse (Douglas firs, Ponderosas, Cottonwoods, Oak, aspen, spruce, etc.) all growing together healthy and very large compared to other Colorado forest areas we've been. We also identified many Ute tended trees, giving an historical element to the area.We slept well, ate well, relaxed well and played well. Our two well-behaved dogs thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness and smells of the place as well. They also slept MUCH. Definitely a place we would return to for another stay.

• Mountain Valley Paradise

  5/5

  We thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful stay at this Coledale, CO cabin! It is beautifully situated in a gorgeous mountain valley. We enjoyed waking up to snow on the mountains, beautiful sunrises, and coffee on the deck to take it all in. We also enjoyed watching and visiting with the horses, and the evenings gave us brilliant star-filled skies! The roads to get there and to visit the area follow the beautiful Arkansas river. We did need to plan ahead for food and gas, though, as there are not many amenities close by or open, especially in the “off-season” when we visited. Our host was very helpful, and checked in on his frequently. The cabin is very well appointed and well stocked, which we greatly appreciated! We definitely recommend this Mountain Valley Paradise to anyone looking for a wonderful stay!
