Summary: Wold highly recommend!
Lydia B. Mar 13, 2025 05:19:33 AM
Summary: Had a wonderful time at this cozy, peaceful cabin nestled amongst beautiful aspen and pine beside a running creek. Only minutes away from great skiing at Monarch Mountain. Enjoyed the lovely décor with everything we needed for a great getaway with friends.
Shelly B. Feb 18, 2025 06:13:55 AM
Summary: Cabin was cozy, loved the fire and rustic over all feel. The back patio overlooking the stream was so relaxing even though we didn’t get to sit out there! The lovely snow made up for it. Only one note-not a complaint, very limited WiFi speed and no cell service. Actually helped me unplug for a while but important to note if you need to have a connection for work or any other reason.

Summary: The cabin was perfect in every way! We were able to unplug for a few days and have some family time. The property was stocked with everything you need to for your stay, plus extras! Shovels, supplies, wood, sleds, games, towels- Bruce really has thought of everything. The house was perfectly clean, 100 stars!

Summary: This is a great cozy little cabin at 9500 feet in the small town of Garfield. Perfect to get away from the big city life. The mountain stream behind cabin is beautiful. Bruce was nice. A great musician who plays in the town of Salida on occasion. This place was close to everything we needed. Would book again. Enjoyed the week we stayed here.
Rachel A. Jul 23, 2024 01:04:00 AM
Summary: We loved this chalet. We felt very comfortable and loved opening the sliding door to let the sounds of the river come through. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook meals. The back deck is large and we spent a lot of time out there. We will definitely be back!
Mike R. Sep 12, 2023 11:01:04 AM
Summary: the cabin was a perfect small and very clean place and had everything that I needed. Everything worked and I felt I had access to everything I wanted. It would have been nice to have some steps to the creek/river as it may be hard for an older person or a non-athletic person. for me it was fine, but you had to hold onto trees and carefully navigate the short walk to the water. Too many trees to fish, but the sound took care of being close to the highway. Salida was the closest town and was really a treat to go downtown to the river.
Pam B. Sep 5, 2023 11:00:22 AM
Summary: Property was clean with comfortable beds. Close to Salina and Poncha Springs. Off road trails for hiking and riding nearby.
Joshua Y. Aug 3, 2023 11:01:24 AM
Summary: 3rd time staying here. Always a great time in the High Country!
Tambra W. Jul 31, 2023 11:01:12 AM
Summary: Away from TV internet traffic and stress! The constant sound of the stream is so comforting!!
