The house was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and cool. The fishing pond was wonderful and the location was great! Local wildlife visited (deer) every evening and such a diverse variety of birds to watch and listen to while eating meals on the porch.

Fantastic location and fishing pond!
Our stay was an excellent experience for the entire family! This house has everything we needed to enjoy the Colorado Mountains including the fishing pond with lots of fish. The location is great for the nearby hot springs, rafting and towns of Salida and Buena Vista. The beds were comfortable and the back deck was a great place to enjoy coffee in the morning and the stars after dark. If you are looking for a great place for your family to relax and un plug, this is the place to go to.
