Perfect Family Getaway!

We were beyond impressed with this home and plan to rebook again for another summer family vacation next year! The river is just a few steps down the back of the property - perfect to sit, relax, fish, and swim! The gazebo, outdoor fire pit and cornhole boards were perfect pass time activities for the entire family to enjoy. Grilling made easy on the pellet grill. We did not have to purchase anything - the house came well stocked with toiletries and clean up supplies. The host was amazing to work with and immediately available when needed. Lastly, the location was perfect - not too far from Salida to access stores, shopping, etc. - and also not far from trail riding in our side by sides. We rate this property 10 stars!

Gorgeous Home Near Salida

My family loved this home! Amazing amenities, finishes, outdoor space, river access, entertaining space, parking space, appliances, heated bathroom floor (in the main house) and landscaping! Jose did not spare any details when designing, building and furnishing this home. It was spotless clean upon arrival in every room, including the VERY cute studio suite above the garage. All rooms have there own external AC unit, so we were able to cool each room individually to our liking. The cornhole game kept my kids occupied for almost the entire time that we were there. The covered gazebo down by the river served as a perfect cocktail/happy hour location for the adults while watching the sunset. Evenings for the entire family were held down at the custom firepit that was handsomely outfitted with awesome Adirondack chairs. All beds were very comfortable with good linens. The washer and dryer allowed us to wash our clothes before leaving home, which was nice (bring clothes detergent). The brand new pellet smoker was a bonus for our meat grilling needs (pellets were provided). The brand new LG refrigerator was very high-tech. It made regular ice and also large whiskey balls for cocktails. Each room had it's own new flat screen TV ready for your streaming needs. All bathrooms came with provided high end individual shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion (just like a swanky hotel). Upon arrival we were greeted with a complimentary welcome bag (both in the main house and the studio) that included a coffee mug with Jose's branded trout company, a sticker, a note pad and a pen. Very thoughtful items! To cap all of this off, this home is pet friendly, but you would never know that pets are allowed, it is very clean. Jose even provides one small dog bed. The main house common area is not huge but it is more than acceptable for indoor gathering and dinning. The main dining table will fit up to eight people comfortably. The kitchen is large with a bar top counter that fits another 3-4 people for dining (we put the kids up here for meals). The bedrooms are fairly spacious with a closet. Perfect for one large family and one small family to share (studio for a 2-3 person family). The studio was a cute space that included a small kitchen. The location is remote, but not too remote. 10-15 minutes from Salida and 7-10 minutes to the quaint small town of Howard. If you prefer privacy then this is your spot. Neighbors to the right and left were at least a quarter of a mile away. We were able to play our music at a higher level outside and not disturb anyone (we didn't hear anyone else either). The mountain backdrop over the river was picturesque. Every evening we spotted dear! A few items that I would not forget next time would be: *Lots of drinking water (As expected, the water is well-water and you can certainly tell that it is out of the faucet). *Laundry Detergent We will be back and I 100% recommend this to anyone that loves high-end mountain locations.

5 star accommodation and best property in the area.

Beautiful property, well equipped. The main house and the garage apartment are beautifully furnished. Evenings by the river with the breezes and sunsets were great.
