Winter Wonderland
We came to this home a week before Thanksgiving and we got to live our winter wonderland dreams. Just enough snow that the kids were able to sled and build snowmen the whole trip, but not enough snow to keep us snowed it. Not too far from town, but very peaceful.This home is a place we want to come back and see during Spring/Summer.

Excellent accommodations except the bridge down to the stream was roped off. That was disappointing as we come to the mountains to see water flowing.

We loved this cabin in the woods. There’s so many places to explore at this location. There’s plenty of room for family and everyone to have their own space. We loved how remote it felt, the cabin had everything we needed.

Lovely, well equipped cozy cabin
The cabin was perfect for our needs. The property managers where attentive and helpful. Close to Monarch (4 minutes). Not too far off the main road but must have 4wd in winter as stated in info. Great experience.

We loved our time in the cabin! It was exactly (actually more) than we hoped for. We loved our time at the creek and the seclusion from the busyness of life. We hope to come visit again some day!

Great cabin with 2 beautiful creeks
This was a perfect cabin to stay at for a great get away from reality! The creeks were amazing to listen to as we sat on the porch and enjoyed the fresh mountain air. It is close enough to town if you need anything but cabin is away from it all. Just the vacation my family needed.

Beautiful cabin in the woods
We loved our stay here. Super convenient location to the Hwy, but you’d never know you’re close. Definitely feel tucked away while still having walkable roads and little trails to explore. The river is just off the porch but down a steep embankment. Beautiful for looking and listening, but not for playing or fishing. We explored Monarch pass (gondolas were so fun!), Almont/Taylor Park Res for fly fishing, and Salida and BV for shops and restaurants. The cabin was clean, well stocked, beds were comfy, and TONS of great DVDs to choose from if you need some downtime. The area was quiet, safe, well-maintained, and we’d gladly come back!

Wonderful cabin & well appointed
We were two families of four and this cabin worked well for us. The creek behind the cabin immediately makes you destress upon arrival. A little hard to find at night, so make sure to follow the directions provided. We will absolutely stay here again.

We found everything we needed at the cabin and had more time to make memories with our loved ones . Will definitely book again...Thank you.

Our visit to Colorado was made memorable with the stay at your beautiful cabin. Everyone enjoyed the stay and facilities. I have no complains. If I have to do some nit picking, the directions to cabin was hard to follow after sundown. We still made it without wandering.

Everything was clean and tidy and exactly as pictured. However it was difficult to get there and the directions were not great. We ended up getting stuck twice and had to ask a neighbor for directions.

Great cabin. Great area.
We enjoy going to this part of the state particularly more secluded areas but close enough to towns for access to groceries. This place was perfect. Had everything we needed. Could fit up to 10 people at least but we had a smaller group so more than enough room. Right by the river although the river was tough to access from where we were. No biggie. Overall great place. Look forward to coming back if it's available.

Perfect getaway for our family of 4!
Forest Creek Cabin was a perfect homebase for my family's recent Colorado vacation. The layout of the home enabled each of us to have our own space but also included beautiful communal areas where we could gather. The porches and balconies were definitely a highlight! The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Even though there is no central air conditioning, we were plenty cool from the refreshing mountain air. Plus, you can hear the rushing river when you have the windows open! We also found that the location was perfect for our needs. We were centrally located, so daytrips to Great Sand Dunes, Royal Gorge, and Leadville were all easy drives. Yet the cabin still felt remote enough that we had a peaceful, quiet spot to recharge at the end of the day. Nearby Salida is a beautiful little town, with lots of opportunities for great dining, shopping, and outdoor adventures. The guidebook app provided by Pinon Vacation Rentals was extremely helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Nice mountain house, but…
This house was very nice and cozy. Getting there was easy until we actually got to the neighborhood. We had to drive around the area to find the street. The GPS stopped giving directions once we got to the general area. So heads up. Also, to lock the door you have to enter the code and then turn the dead bolt, another heads up. No dish washcloths were available so we had to buy some from the local grocery store. The upstairs bathroom shower curtain liner was dirty with mildew. You can smell it right away. The cleaning service needs to use bleach to clean that shower. Last but not least, the upstairs back bedroom had a creepy feeling to it, bad energy if you will, so nobody slept in it. Other than those little inconvenience, beautiful property, very quiet, beds were comfortable, and house was clean.

Good little spot
The house was great and clean. My only complaints were that in the listing it looks as though there’s a creek close that kids can play in, which is why we chose it, but it’s definitely a rushing river. Not safe for kids to be around. Also, I thought the check out process was a bit tedious. Having to do all dishes and start the washer seems silly since we pay a cleaning fee. Other than that very comfy, clean, and convenient to BV and Salida.
