Cozy Cabin

We loved the cabin. It is up in the mountains and very relaxing. Hiking on the property was even better than expected with many large boulder formations. The cabin was very clean and probably the best stocked VRBO we have been to

Mountain cabin

This cabin was very nice on the inside but the outside could use some attention. Still a nice getaway. The drive to Salida with construction took about 45 minuets so plan to bring food.

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

This is a comfortable home in an exquisite location. Each morning we awoke to birds singing, each afternoon the breeze blew through the pine boughs, and each evening we watched the stars. This is a wonderful place that is out of the way, quiet, yet offers quick access to Salida, the star town of the area.

Third Time's a Charm

This has been our go-to place the last three summers before school starts. Clean, spacious, quiet, and a well-stocked kitchen. Plus our doggo loves it. A great homebase for hiking in the Wet Mountains or in your own backyard; and the Arkansas River's at the bottom of the mountain, for fishing, rafting, or just dipping your feet. We go to just sit, read, stargaze, relax, and watch the dog chase insect wildlife. The perfect place . . . maybe.

About the host

Hosted by ZOE GRANT

Host profile image
I came to Colorado over 20 years ago after spending most of my life in upstate NY. Colorado winters are quite mild in comparison!

We enjoy spending quality time together as a family from game nights, our kids' sports, to visiting with family and friends. We have 3 kids with two in high school, and one in middle school. In addition to having 3 children, we have two dogs (both rescues.) We have been fostering dogs for almost 6 years and have rescued 25 and counting!

The picture is from us rafting on the Arkansas River. It's so much fun!!

Why they chose this property

Things can get a bit hectic and we have wanted to have a little slice of Colorado in the mountains for a few years now. A place to relax and enjoy. We wanted to have a cabin in the mountains that is far enough away from the city to enjoy the stars without light pollution, to have mature trees to look at and walk amongst, and close enough for family activities. We found all that and more in Cotopaxi!

What makes this property unique

The peace and quiet and not feeling rushed to do anything while at the cabin. You really are on mountain time and we always feel like we get to "reset" whenever we're there.
