Cozy perfect cabin, loved the river out the back door. Enjoyed just hanging out playing games and puzzles. Would definitely make this a stay again with more of our family.
Pros - beautiful location, friendly neighbors, good sledding area nearby, close to Monarch, very spacious. The only real con was the heat varied quite a bit throughout the cabin. We had to use blankets and wear hats one night at the dinner table while my daughter’s bedroom upstairs was very warm. We would stay here again. The check in process was easy.
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.

We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the views were amazing! also quiet and peaceful! We want to come back soon to experience another tranquil getaway at your wonderful cabin! 💜
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 views. Quiet area. Great place to relax. Plenty of room. Beds were comfortable. Wifi was solid.

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.
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.
