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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

disappointing
Adorable house and great communication with management but much busier area than implied with photos (could see and hear the highway) and kitchen was really gross. A primary reason for using VRBO type locations when we travel is the ability to cook our own meals and this place made that near impossible both nights. There are lots of cooking gadgets but if they didn’t fit in the strangely small dishwasher then they appeared to have not been cleaned, like ever. Greasy knives and skillets and baking sheets. The whole house filled with smoke when we tried to use the oven - - we had the doors and windows opened for more than an hour so we didn’t choke. And when we tried to adjust dinner plans and use the grill, the ignition switch didn’t work. Managements solution for that was to have someone drop off a lighter late the next day. Great place as long as you don’t cook.

Great time of year to be in the mountains
The property was beautiful and easy to find. Great views, fishing within walking distance, and all the stuff you need to cook, etc. Our only problem was the altitude which affected my wife near the end of the trip so we had to leave a little early. Lots of things to see and do in the area. On the whole a great trip.

Absolute joy.
Loved the week we spent at this beautiful mountain home. You can really tell the owners take great pride and it is managed very well. Our only small gripe is that the internet was very inconsistent and our cell service was even worse. This was not a surprise as it was called out in the literature we received/reviewed, so you just need to know this is for a more “off-the-grid” kind of experience. At that, this place really excels. Such a beautiful setting and we’ve never stayed in a cleaner or well furnished rental, at any elevation, let alone 9600 feet above sea level. Thanks for providing such an opportunity. Absolutely loved our stay!
