We enjoyed our stay at this cabin—it was very clean and well-kept, and had a small, private deck on one side that is surrounded by beautiful aspens and pine. The South Arkansas River flows nearby and the sound of the water through the sliding deck doors is wonderful. The cabin is part of a little neighborhood that makes for pleasant morning or evening walks. Salida is about 20 minutes away, and Buena Vista is about 45 minutes. We enjoyed it as a home base for 11 nights. There were a few minor issues during our stay: We were never able to get the smart TV to work—the property manager kindly came by on the first full day and got it working (the new owner had not set it up), but the next time we turned it on it required the whole setup process to be repeated, so we just never turned it on again during our stay. The internet at the cabin is pretty slow, and we had zero Verizon cell service, all things the property manager had alerted us to. Again, not a big deal for us, but just know that working from the cabin would be difficult. The driveway is steep, narrow and short—we had a Ford F150 truck and it was difficult to park in a way that both sides of the truck could be accessed when parked. The cabin is situated right below the banks of CO 50, which is a major road for traffic going over Monarch Pass, including lots of 18-wheelers; we got used to the traffic noise but light sleepers might want to bring ear plugs. Overall though, this cabin was a pleasant experience and fairly priced, and we would stay there again!
