Great house for everyone

We had a multi-generation group - from 30-90 yrs old and the house was perfect. It was huge and had plenty of room for everyone. The master suite was beautiful and had incredible views. It was nice to be outside of town with great views. But, also very close to enjoy any activities. Tony was an excellent, informative host.

We loved this house so much! It's a beautiful location and a comfortable, well-stocked, inviting home. We almost didn't want to come home. We will be back. Tony was wonderful; it was an added treat getting to meet him.

Ski Trip

We had a great time, Tony was great with any questions we had and the place was perfect for our Ski Trip. 1/2 hr from monarch and only a hop skip and jump from downtown Salida. Would definitely stay again.

Good stay overall

Tony's house was great for our group of 8 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of space. Tony was friendly and helpful. The location was nice and quiet, pretty close to downtown, biking distance from S mountain trails, and walking distance to public fishing access on the river just below the house. It did get a bit warm in the house late evenings in July but cooled down overnight. We did see a mouse while we were there but no droppings or evidence that it had been in the house a long time. We would consider staying here again.

Unique, beautiful stay near Salida!

We really enjoyed our stay!! The property is great and there was plenty of space for everyone to hangout inside (and outside); the outdoor porch and fenced in yard area was ideal for sitting outside with our dog. Tony was great and met us upon arrival - would absolutely stay there again!

Amazing Time!

The property was roomy and had little extra things in case you forgot something. The Owner was great and checked in to see if we needed anything and was great to talk to. The property is conveniently located to everything so it was super easy to get to and from everything we needed to do.

Wonderful weekend! We ran out of time to do all the fun things available.

Four generations of our family enjoyed this well appointed mountain home for a long weekend wedding. The rooms were all clean and very comfortable and the children loved exploring the grounds. Our host was welcoming and available and we are already talking about our return next summer!
