A Great Hideaway...
Overall a wonderful place to stay while skiing/snowboarding up on the divide at Monarch. This space feels right at home and is nestled back in the Garfield neighborhood with privacy and beautiful views. I would highly recommend and we're planning on coming back for years to come!

Family Time
This cabin was the meeting place for our family for a long weekend. The cabin is lovely and well maintained. We had everything we needed. The sauna was a bonus that our adult children loved. The "how to's" of the cabin were clearly spelled out. The kitchen was well stocked. We had a lot of fun playing one of the games we found in the cabin. All in all, it's a great place to stay in a beautiful part of Colorado.

Nice out of the way place.
Great, comfortable house with great access the both San Isabel (technically right out back yard) and Gunnison NF, with many opportunities for fly fishing. Highly recommend this place. Its also right down the pass from skiing if you like that too.

Last Ski trip
We came out from the Midwest for one last ski trip. Had a good time and enjoyed the home. The snow removal guy did a nice job of cleaning up the heavy snow.

Great Place
This house is a great place to stay for skiing at Monarch. Well situated well stocked. Being able to drive home for lunch made for some cost savings at the slopes. Finding it is a bit difficult due to Google Maps not being accurate but we made it. You will enjoy your stay here.

Amazing property
Very peaceful setting and well appointed home. Grew proximity to Monarch ski area and Salida. Chains are needed to access in the winter, though we’re able to get to the bottom of the driveway without them. Worth it for the solitude!

Truly great place
This is a great place. The cabin had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed( even a coffee grinder). Beautifully decorated. Washer and dryer were nice to have. Great little hiking trails for kids in the neighborhood. Amazing views from the multiple porches/decks. Will come back!!!

We had a great time!
We were surprised to see the location is close to Monarch Mt.! The home was beautiful on the mountain and very nicely kept and clean! There was a lot of snow when we arrived Feb. 15-19th, 2023. The roads were plowed 2 times when we were there. We had no problems! It was a quiet location and sledding was fun! The Sauna was nice after our ski days!

Great Quarantine!
We rented this property to come skiing over spring break, however Monarch closed while we en route. We spent our time instead sledding, sitting on the porch and taking walks in the snow. It was beautiful and peaceful. When I had occasion to call property management they were helpful and prompt. Would recommend.

Disliked: Location
Access is Snow Challenged
This was a beautiful cabin on a beautiful property. The snow was gorgeous and kids enjoyed sledding. Property manager required AWD OR snow chains. We had AWD. The road leading to the cabin isn’t always accessible by AWD which dampened the times we wanted to go skiing or drive to town. Our vehicle got stuck in the snow and Pinion pretty much said sorry, we said you need snow chains - which it was either AWD or snow chains. The plow driver passed at odd times which made getting to Monarch early impossible. Overall a beautiful place but I would NOT recommend during winter months of heavy snow unless you have chains.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Never stayed. Frightening experience. Remote location of home never communicated. Arrived after dusk and was not prepared for switch back dirt road and dangerous driving conditions. If not familiar with area, it is not safe. I am very unhappy that I spent nearly $700 and could not risk my family's safety to stay at property. Unfortunately, no refund available. Had to seek other 2 night accomodations last minute. Major damper on what was to be an enjoyable ski trip with family to Monarch Mountain.

Perfect little getaway
This cozy cabin is tucked back in the Monarch mountains and is equipped with everything. If you want to stay in and cook the kitchen is fully stocked with the cooking essentials. If you want to go out and adventure you are close to hot springs, the ski mountain and the town of Salida. With COVID, I was a bit concerned with travel but the cabin was so clean it eased my worries. A few things to keep in mind when visiting the cabin - no cell phone service but there is WiFi. My husband and I had to make calls for work over the internet and when we were both on Zoom or Teams there was not enough bandwidth. Also, you will need to have a sufficient vehicle to get up the driveway in the winter. The cabin came with tire cables but you will need to be able to get there in the winter months. I gave this a 4 star review due to the fact that the pellet (fire) stove didn’t work. It snowed all 5 days during our stay and it would have been nice for the ambience. When we reached out to the management company (who was very responsive) they said It was broken but since the heat worked we should be fine. That was a big bummer for us. Other than that, I would have given this cabin 5 stars and if the fire stove works I would want to stay again. The pictures in the description do not do this property justice. This was a special place for us, a place to be still, be in nature and reflect. I hope to be back soon.
