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. ##### Shelly B.

We stayed here in June when the river was at its peak raging flow. It was a magnificent setting in a beautiful aspen grove that glowed brilliantly in the rain while soaking in the hot tub. Absolutely wonderful. The cabin was just right for four of us - only suggestion would be to add a nice table and chairs for 4-6 on the deck for outdoor dining. ##### Barbara F.

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. ##### Mike R.

At 9,500 ft. elevation just below Monarch Pass, it was cool all the time. A lovely creek is only about 20 ft from the back deck where we spent most of our leisure time in the hot tub, sitting in chairs, or cooking on the grill. So peaceful and quiet in the area, yet we felt it was very convenient to go rafting near Salida, tour ghost towns, and enjoy the mountain scenery. The cabin had everything we needed and it was spotless. Communication with Bruce, the owner, was simple and quick. Beds upstairs and down, same with bathrooms. No complaints whatsoever. I would happily stay here again. ##### Michael J. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Luna J. 10 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location ##### Luna J.

Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb M. 1 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved the Monarch Pass area Very nice cabin. It was exceptionally clean and the beds super comfortable with fresh and good quality linens and towels available. The cabin makes for a nice home base. It was cool enough that we enjoyed coming home from our adventures every day and building a fire in the woodstove (thanks for having so much firewood and kindling available) after relaxing on the deck by the beautiful creek that runs behind the cabin. The stars were amazing! We also enjoyed meeting Harry, the sweet neighborhood dog who visited regularly to hang out with us on the deck. The dogs (and even the humans) in the area were friendly but not intrusive. We tried the hot tub once, but it died about 10 minutes into the soak. It was back on the next night but the jets weren't very strong so we opted to skip it, though it is a nice amenity to have available and it's in a great spot to enjoy the scenery. We've learned after only two VRBO experiences that the VRBO definition of "private" is very different from ours, so we were a little surprised and disappointed that there were houses so close. Thankfully, they were mostly unoccupied while we were there so we only had to get used to the vehicles on the close local roads and the highway above Garfield. We live in a rural setting far away from roads and neighbors, so we tend to prefer that on vacation, so most folks would probably be ok with the Garfield experience. Turns out it was a very quiet area so our concern upon arriving was never a real problem, just not our personal preference kind of location. My only suggestion would be to replace the hard as a rock futon with something more comfy. Though there are plenty of seating options, most aren't conducive to sitting by the fireplace or curling up with a good book. We had bag chairs with us so that helped to provide better seating inside and on the deck and we never used the TV/DVD set up (though the DVD/VHS library is impressive!) so we didn't need to use seating facing that direction. The spiral staircase was solid and perfect for the cabin and just a fun and unique feature that reminding me of The Monkees TV show every time I came down it, so that was fun. Great time, great trip - thanks for sharing your cozy cabin. ##### Deb M.

It fit our needs for our family of four. It was stocked with every thing we needed. Hot tub was nice to sit in after hiking, fishing, rafting, etc.... and the deck is right on the South Ark. We slept with the windows open each night to the sound of the rushing water just below. It was great. One thing to note is that laundry must be done at the lodge, the machines only take quarters, and the lodge does not make change. We enjoyed our stay very much in this cabin and made some great memories. The only thing we might change would be the futon. The padding is pretty thin making it a bit uncomfortable. We would definitely book again. ##### Blake C.

Garfield is a quiet, charming and friendly small community. This place fit in perfectly with the area. The place is cozy and the sound of a river will sing you to sleep. If you like to fish it’s worth throwing a line in because there are for sure fish back there. After you’re done enjoy a soak in the hot tub and make the most of the place. It has everything you need and I would love to return again soon. ##### Matthew B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brennan H. 1 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great time! Our family really enjoyed our stay. The property had everything we needed, fireplace, hot tub, fire pit, and a creek right off the deck. Perfect spot to be right in the middle of the mountains. Highly recommend! ##### Brennan H.
