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.

It's a cozy gem!

The cabin location is great, midway between Salida and Monarch Mountain. The cabin is equipped with everything you need and more. In my experience no other VRBO property can compare in that regard. It was our second stay at this property and we will be back again God willing.

Fantastic as always

A great little cabin. We stay here every year on our annual ski and snowboard trip to Monarch. It is very convient as it is right between Salida and Monarch and our daughter loves the hot tub. It is clean and warm and comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and the bed is super comfortable.

Relaxing and cozy

This was our first Christmas to be just the two of us in 20 years of being together. The cabin was clean and well furnished. This by far was the cabin with more to offer than I have ever seen. There is a large book and DVD collection. The kitchen is stocked with dishes and spices and everyday needs. We hung out at the cabin on Christmas Day and then ventured into Salida on the day after Christmas. This is an amazing area and the views are just stunning.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Leona Taylor

Host profile image
We live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It has been a long time dream to live in Colorado, this cabin is a start. We feel quite fortunate to be able to share this special spot with other travelers.

Why they chose this property

We loved the river, convenient location to year round activities and the town of Salida. This area offers all we were looking for and so much more.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has all the conveniences you could want, but the river and fire pit give a feeling of camping outdoors. We get the best of both worlds. It is peaceful to sit under the covered porch and watch the rain or enjoy whatever wildlife might happen by.
