10 Minutes To Monarch Mountain, the Arkansas River and 10 Minutes To Salida!

This is a beautiful 2100 square foot Colorado home with new paint inside and out and new furniture. The kitchen was remodeled and added top of the line Kenmore appliances, granite and tile. Starlink internet was just installed with 200 MB's. Just 10 minutes from the Monarch Mountain ski area, historic Salida and the Arkansas river nestled in the shadows of Mt Shavano.

This property is centrally located just minutes away from hundreds of hiking, biking, ATV and Jeep trails and to the Arkansas river with over 9 rafting companies that specialize in navigating the river up to and including class 5 rapids. The Arkansas is also known for fishing and kayaking and hosts many competitive sporting events a year.

Walking distance from the front door is the Mountain Spirit Winery, a lovely must visit located on the south fork of the Arkansas River.

Please keep in mind that in the winter, front wheel/four-wheel drive vehicles or vehicle chains may be required to maneuver not only the short gravel road leading to the house, but will certainly be required when traversing the pass to get to Monarch Mountain.

Outdoor security cameras are on the property and include a doorbell camera and eve cameras facing north and East. These cameras are for the security of the property and at no time do we keep or store footage of any kind.

Great location

We had a group of 6 friends going ; wheeling for a 3 day trip and enjoyed being all together. We enjoyed the house. It was neat and clean and very easy to work with them. The only thing that I would recommend is that there needed to be better lighting in the living room.

Convenient stay for day trips. Comfortable deck for meals. Close to town for supplies and eats. Overall worked for three different units. Loft a little scary for youngsters. Maybe consider protection for bedroom window upstairs.

Monarch Mtn. Ski Trip

Overall, the stay was an OK experience. Property was clean and centrally located between Salida & Monarch Mtn., however, the property is in close proximity to a KOA campground, which would not be enjoyable in the summer given increased activity. Unfortunately, I think VRBO is pricing themselves out of the market when one considers the fees, taxes, cleaning fees, and the property manager expects the tenant to clean the house themselves. VRBO needs a better business model as compared to the price of a hotel room.

Perfect for Monarch Ski Trip

Cozy home with gorgeous views. Convenient drive to Monarch Mountain as well aa into the downtown part of Salida. All the cooking accessories we needed-and more-were provided, along with various condiments, spices, cooking oils. The only thing we were surprised by was how close a couple of the neighboring homes were. From the pictures, the home looks very remote; however, you are close to a main road with a few homes very close by. These factors did not obscure the view or give us any issues, but it’s worth mentioning. We loved our stay and are considering making it a yearly family trip!

Great house, convenient location

Lisa made pre trip planning and check in smooth and simple. Great communication and quick to respond. House was clean, well supplied, bed’s comfortable, and wow, what a view! The only minor complaint that has nothing to do with the property manager or listing, more the contractor or HVAC technician. Was that the forced air heat was unbelievably loud, and made it difficult to sleep next too. Other than that would highly recommend and will be back again.

Great location - even better Cabin!

The Shavano Vista was a fabulous spot for our family vacation. It was the perfect location to do all the things we had planned and the property itself was maintained perfectly. We were happy with our stay every single day. Thank you to Shavano Vista for sharing your "little slice of Heaven" with us. We loved learning the history behind the Angel of Mt. Shavano and the priceless memories will last us a lifetime!
