Base Camp for your Adventures

We are located in the Big Horn Sheep Canyon. Just minutes from gold medal fishing, kayaking and rafting on the Arkansas River, hiking, mountain biking, mountain climbing, off-road riding trails, skiing and hunting. Our cabin will provide a base camp for just about any outdoor activity you want to do. We are 12 miles east of Salida, Colorado, the Heart of the Rockies. We currently have 1 restaurant and 1 coffee shop/general store in Howard. We do not have a grocery store or gas station in Howard. Most amenities are located in Salida.
We have a fully furnished 2 bedroom 1 bathroom cabin with a queen bed in each bedroom. We can comfortably sleep 4. We also have a pack n play available. We have a fire pit with a grill by a creek that runs next to the property that is available when we are not under a fire ban. Our area of Colorado is semi-arid and we are frequently under a fire ban in the summer. We have a picnic table by the cabin next to a propane grill.
We live on the property behind the cabin and are usually available to answer questions or help you in any way we can.

Must stay !
First off so easy to find. Debbi and Steve have decked this cabin out. If u need it it was there. We showed up with some food and needed nothing else. The flowing creek by the cabin was amazing back drop. Perfect for 4 people… Thanks for making a great trip! We will be back

Good place!
Nice quiet clean place! Went to ride my side x side and fish on the Arkansas river. Plenty of access to both. Great stay! Much better than a hotel stay with better amenities and cheaper than a hotel.

Centrally located for what we wanted to do and see.
A very nice place. You can tell that Steve and Debbi take good care of their place. Really enjoyed talking with Steve about what is going on in the area and just general conversation. Is a great place to relax between sight seeing and going to the music festival. The beds are very comfortable, got a good nights sleep every night.

We love staying here. I have lots of family that lives in Howard and this is the perfect place to stay when we go to visit. This was our second time staying at this property and we will stay again next time we are in town. It is a wonderful place to stay and has beautiful scenery right outside the door. I love being able to hear the creek when you step outside.
