THE PROPERTY This Colorado mountain home offers stunning views of Mount Antero, frontage on Brown’s Creek, a mosaic of Ponderosa pines and Aspen groves, and open meadows of native wildflowers.
This 2,350 square-foot home has gorgeous post & beam construction with overload of windows and skylights. Custom-crafted, quintessential and uniquely Colorado! The whitewash beams contrast beautifully with dark hardwood floors. Vaulted ceilings and a balcony give it a light & bright feel, while thoughtful room partitioning makes for living spaces that flow nicely together.
Enjoy the ease of a fully furnished home. The kitchen and dining room are stocked to accommodate whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner, grilling on the deck, or just taking a picnic to-go. And it’s ok to get dirty while having fun, the stocked laundry room will make cleanup easy.
You won’t want to miss the mountain views while enjoying the 1,000 square feet of patio space, or walking the trails down to the creek to find a dreamy spot to hang a hammock. Throw some horseshoes in the pit or have some playtime in the tree fort! There’s no doubt that you’ll want to make the most of these outdoor spaces. At night, you’ll experience a jaw-dropping dark sky with stunning stars, with just the sound of the creek and maybe a few hoot owls to break the quiet.
Three beautifully-appointed bedrooms await for a peaceful night’s slumber! The master bedroom features an en-suite bath, making it your private oasis. You’ll wake feeling refreshed and ready for the next adventure!
THE LOCATION This home is situated between Buena Vista and Salida - two of Colorado’s premier outdoor adventure mountain towns! Check out Buena Vista’s microbrews and distilleries, trendy food trucks, outdoor equipment shops and river play. Head to Salida (the heart of Colorado) to enjoy the Art District, fine wine & food, and evening music on the Arkansas River. Only 12 miles to each town, this property is the perfect home base.
Outdoor enthusiasts will be thrilled to find mountain trails just 2 miles from the home, ranging from short destination hikes to 14’er treks! The entire Collegiate Range is right here at your fingertips.
The Arkansas River has activities for everyone, including fly-fishing, white water rafting, SUP’ing, or just a leisure-river float and picnic. The local guides and rental shops can equip your next adventure, or if you come with gear the property has plenty of space at this property to accommodate.
Hit the slopes at Monarch Mountain, the perfect getaway for skiers and riders looking to avoid the crowds of the I-70 mega-resorts. Located 30 miles away, this resort features amazing tree skiing, wide open alpine bowls and long intermediate trails.
After a day on the trails, plan a trip to Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort (6 miles away) for a day of swimming with the kids or take a relaxing spa day and soak in the geothermal water’s of Colorado.

This mountain home was perfect in every possible way. The attention to detail in both design and functionality made for luxurious escape from the woes of the world. Starting with the planning stage to finishing up our check out communication with the owner could not have been better. She anticipated every desire, ranging from pellets to feed the potbelly stove to fresh coffee beans to be ground for a French pressed coffee. Thank you Ms. Chanda for sharing your beautiful home with my wife and I, we will forever be grateful and Monarch Mountain will always hold a special place in our hearts.
I have only good things to say about this property. They seemed to think of everything. A wonderful getaway with plenty of places on the property to relax and explore.
Had an amazing time. The views are incredible, every detail of the place was curated and we could tell how much love and effort went into the place. Thanks for having us!
This was our second time staying at this amazing mountain getaway. A great place to base camp out of to explore Salina, Buena Vista, & Mt Princeton Hot Springs. The cabin was quiet & peaceful with amazing wildlife— we loved the hummingbirds
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed! The home is well thought out for a stay, such as laundry hampers and hot tub towels. Communication is top notch and we hope to returm!
We throughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and the beds were super comfortable. It had everything we needed for our family of four. We enjoyed our down time in the family room with the view of the mountains. The property was beautiful and well kept.
This is a beautiful property. Our family of four had plenty of room. The three bedrooms were large and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, the large deck in the mornings and the stream in the back!
Exceptionally beautiful house that is very thoughtfully and creatively decorated! The outside is just gorgeous as well. House was one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in, and even had baby gates!
We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin in Nathrop with a view of Mount Antero. The layout of cabin was very comfortable, cozy and roomy. Very clean! Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Kitchen was nicely stocked and a real cook's kitchen. We loved strolling down the paths to the rushing burbling creek, so relaxing! Thanks so much.
The cabin is very peaceful and perfect for our family getaway. We used this as a base to explore Salida, spend a day at Noah's Ark aerial park, hit the Hot Springs, & go Hiking (Brown's Falls - a nice 6 mile out-and-back hike and the trailhead is only 12 minutes away). New hot tub was a perfect way to end the day. The cabin itself is so tastefully well-appointed and comfortable we were sad to have to leave it. Definitely looking forward to a future stay. 5-stars for sure!!!
Chanda's place was absolutely amazing! I have stayed in many vacation homes in Colorado, and this was easily one of my favorites. The house itself just wowed our group, and there were so many little extras that make the place unique. Everything was so clean and so well thought out, the comfortable rooms made it easy to relax, and the location of the house felt secluded even with neighbors. The outside hot tub and trail to the stream and firepit put this place in a different league for me. Plus you get great mountain views from the deck. 100% would stay here again when in the area!
so clean and so
This property is amazing! After hiking Mt Princeton we came back and jumped in the ice cold river on the property and then got in the hot tub. We sat and gazed at the stars while enjoying the gas fire-pit, they also have a wood burning. We enjoyed the porch swing while watching the hummingbirds dance. We made dinner while there and wanted for nothing as the attention to detail is like no Vrbo I have ever stayed in. The only negative to this property is that we didn’t book enough nights, we were all bummed to leave. We will certainly be back.
Lovely home with lots of extra touches. We loved the property and amenities the house offered. Hot tub was fantastic after a long hike or river rafting on the chilly Arkansas. Check out was easy peasy too. Only negative was the a/c was only a first floor window unit and the upstairs king master suite got quite warm. With windows open and two fans going, it would cool off around 3am. The queen upstairs room was a great temperature as it was on the side of the house that got the breeze. That being said, we had a great stay and would definitely come back.
We were so impressed with the property, it’s proximity to many attractions, and the responsiveness of the property owner. We had an amazing, relaxing vacation.
Very well maintained beautiful property. The house is perfect for an escape to the mountains, complete with a hot tub. Owner was amazing with communication. Great place to stay!
We have stayed multiple times as a family and have loved it each time. Chanda is quick to respond and is always helpful. It is better than the pictures! We can’t wait to go again!
