Disliked: Cleanliness
The cabin is set in a beautiful meadow and close to Salida. All good there. Unfortunately, the cabin has a water pump situated underneath it which emits a low, pulsating hum. The noise disturbed our sleep for 3 nights and the landlord response was late and the lack of our sleep was treated with no real concern. There was no shower soap. Delivered later in the day. We had to cut our vacation short by one day due to our exhaustion, and on check out we did as asked: take out the trash, strip the bed, start a load of laundry. No laundry soap. Sent a request for one night's stay, was promised a check in the mail. No check after two weeks.

Absolutely Beautiful

We had a great stay. The location is beautiful and the cabin is very well stocked with kitchen/cooking utensils and extra bedding/blankets. The hot tub worked well and was very clean. Also, the wifi works great. The property is centrally located and makes a great place to basecamp your Arkansas Headwaters adventures.

Lovely location but best for a couple

The location and property grounds were fantastic and the guest house charming, but the accommodation's description was misleading in regard to the bedroom locations (bedroom number two is not similar to bedroom number one but is in fact twin beds in the loft). Property is in need of maintenance and cleaning.

An adorable guest house away from town for a quiet stay. The host was responsive even though she was away during our stay. We had a little confusion about the WiFi login, but it was resolved quickly. The host also recommended Dvorak Expeditions for the rafting trip we wanted to schedule. We had a great time doing that, so thank you!

The perfect spot.

The guest house is comfortable and cozy. We love the eclectic vibe and beautiful setting! The well appointed kitchen made meal prep easy. And, we especially enjoyed stargazing from the hot tub and fire pit. We’d love to stay there again!

So close to Salida, but you feel miles away. The pond and river and surroundings are very peaceful. The house is very comfortable and the bookshelf has a wonderful mix of books. We also enjoyed the hot tub.

Love this place!

We have stayed here the last three summers and will continue to do so! We have 2 dogs who love the outdoor freedom and swimming in the pond. The cabin is adorable and very cozy. The fire pit gives the camping vibe but you can then jump in the hot tub and sleep in comfort. You do share the property with the owners and their home but they are great! I only mention so you know and make your decision accordingly. You have plenty of space and privacy. It’s a great space for small family.

Perfect Peace

The guest house is perfectly located and well maintained. You are within a few minutes of downtown Salida and all the wonderful hiking, biking, and river activities one could want. The guest house has a great view of the mountains and sits on a lovely landscape of trees, trout streams, pastures, and well kept grounds.

Beyond What We Expected!!!

The pictures do not do this place justice. The mountain views, amenities and property are better than displayed in the listing. The guest house is nestled in the trees with a stunning backdrop of the mountain peaks and feels very private. The guest house probably needs a few upgrades, such as the tub and shower and there is no dishwasher, but provides everything needed. We were able to walk the acreage, enjoy the private pond with paddle boards and zipline, and walk along property's riverside. The rooms were spacious and cozy. The dining nook was adorable. The owner provided nice robes, towels and blankets. We would definitely come back and stay longer next time now knowing how quaint, yet complete this location is!
