Great mountain retreat!

House was as described, and private stream and pond in back, with acres of property to roam and backed up to national forest land. Great for hikers and adventurers and people who like to get out and roam mother nature! Secluded, private, and awesome and amazing view of the stars far away from city lights! Hot tub was actually hot, unlike many other hot tubs. A little low on water, but other than that, very relaxing and therapeutic on the back deck with glorious scenic views! We would definitely stay here again, and it is professionally managed with very responsive and timely help and assistance with any questions or needs.

Lovely place

We had a great time at this beautiful place nestled in the mountains. Unfortunately, the hot water was out and we weren’t able to shower over the weekend. The heating for the house requires hot water for the floor so it could be a bit chilly at times. Thank goodness for the fireplace! A few other small things could be addressed to truly make the Retreat at Cochetopa remarkable!

Beautiful Mountain Home

Wonderful home and location. Perfect for our family. The tankless hot water and radiant floor heat went out the second day we were there. Pinon Vacation Rentals/Mgmt were extremely helpful and moved us to another location that was just as nice. Also highly recommend the grocery pickup they offer. Special thank you to Amanda, Molly and all the wonderful ladies on the management team.

Christmas at Cochetopa

We stayed at the Retreat at Cochetopa over Christmas and it was perfect! The house is well appointed, homey and spacious yet very cozy. We loved cooking in the chef’s kitchen and having a fire every night. The hot tub was a treat. The best part was the gorgeous, expansive property! My dog and I loved going for long walks and exploring in the snow! The property manager was very responsive and eager to help. We had such a lovely holiday and look forward to another stay in the future!

Sweet Retreat!

This home is absolutely stunning! Thankful this host opened it up to others. The scenery and accomodations were incredible. Beautifully decorated, well stocked kitchen (and not junk), and comfy befs. We stayed with our 14 month old pup and I cant tell who loved it more! He would shake his tail in pure joy every time we came back from an adventure. Close to town and a plethora of attractions. We loved visiting the llamas and hot tub every evening it wasnt raining Just an amazing place and wonderful time.. Can't wait to return!

Solitude Solace

The property, check in and information provided was very above average. We wanted for nothing. Artfully decorated, comfortable beds, plenty of towels. You can hear the stream all night. Perfection. Fall aspen time you’d have gold! (Road in is not great for low cars)

Beautiful House for a Mountain Getaway

The house was a good size with open concept, and had everything we needed for a cozy weekend mountain retreat with our dogs. Hot tub, pond in the backyard that is fed by a sweet little mountain stream that gives the sound and sight of running water, Mountain View, hiking trails, indoor fireplace/outdoor fire pits, board games, a nice eclectic collection of books, starlink WiFi, Roku tv we didn’t use, and all the necessities. Management company was super efficient and easy to work with. We also had a small issue with the hot tub and maintenance was there within the hour, and fixed it immediately. House is 10 minutes away from everything you need… Coffee, booze, groceries, restaurants. 20 minutes away from downtown Salida. We would definitely stay here again.
