Everything was picture perfect. We loved it so much we have booked another stay already. Best part was the back "yard." Couldn't have asked for a better view.
Property was perfect for a relaxing getaway! The views from the entire back side of the house were amazing and I can’t imagine how cool it is in the summer!
Had a great weekend tucked in the mountains! The house was clean, open, and perfect for us. We went to town once and spent the rest of the weekend just relaxing by the river. Will stay again!
Wonderful home and location. Perfect for our family. The tankless hot water and radiant floor heat went out the second day we were there. Pinon Vacation Rentals/Mgmt were extremely helpful and moved us to another location that was just as nice. Also highly recommend the grocery pickup they offer. Special thank you to Amanda, Molly and all the wonderful ladies on the management team.
Love the location of this home, very private and comfortable.
My favorite part is how well the home is decorated. This is always the first thing I look for when looking on VRBO, and this place did not disappoint.
Thank you!
We stayed at the Retreat at Cochetopa over Christmas and it was perfect! The house is well appointed, homey and spacious yet very cozy. We loved cooking in the chef’s kitchen and having a fire every night. The hot tub was a treat. The best part was the gorgeous, expansive property! My dog and I loved going for long walks and exploring in the snow! The property manager was very responsive and eager to help. We had such a lovely holiday and look forward to another stay in the future!
House was as described, and private stream and pond in back, with acres of property to roam and backed up to national forest land. Great for hikers and adventurers and people who like to get out and roam mother nature! Secluded, private, and awesome and amazing view of the stars far away from city lights! Hot tub was actually hot, unlike many other hot tubs. A little low on water, but other than that, very relaxing and therapeutic on the back deck with glorious scenic views! We would definitely stay here again, and it is professionally managed with very responsive and timely help and assistance with any questions or needs.
The home was gorgeous, well stocked, and check in was seamless. Great base for exploring Salida and skiing. My only request/complaint is that the beds weren't very comfortable. It would be nice to have a king size bed in the guest rooms, particularly the master.
We had a great time at this beautiful place nestled in the mountains. Unfortunately, the hot water was out and we weren’t able to shower over the weekend. The heating for the house requires hot water for the floor so it could be a bit chilly at times. Thank goodness for the fireplace! A few other small things could be addressed to truly make the Retreat at Cochetopa remarkable!
The property is set back into the trees with fantastic views of the mountains and wildlife. Had no issues with getting in or lacating the property. Perfect location for a secluded stay but close to Monarch and Salida. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need and the living area was super cozy. Huge windows make is very picturesque during the day, especially of its snowing! Lots of space for a good sized family.
We loved it and will definitely be coming back!
This is a great place to come and get away from it all. It’s located within 15 min of downtown Salida. The house in the yard are absolutely beautiful. There is a pond and some trails to explore and the views are stunning. We had a wonderful time here! The inside of the home is beautiful and the kitchen has everything you need to make a nice family dinner. Thank you!
This home is absolutely stunning! Thankful this host opened it up to others. The scenery and accomodations were incredible. Beautifully decorated, well stocked kitchen (and not junk), and comfy befs. We stayed with our 14 month old pup and I cant tell who loved it more! He would shake his tail in pure joy every time we came back from an adventure. Close to town and a plethora of attractions. We loved visiting the llamas and hot tub every evening it wasnt raining Just an amazing place and wonderful time.. Can't wait to return!
The house was a good size with open concept, and had everything we needed for a cozy weekend mountain retreat with our dogs. Hot tub, pond in the backyard that is fed by a sweet little mountain stream that gives the sound and sight of running water, Mountain View, hiking trails, indoor fireplace/outdoor fire pits, board games, a nice eclectic collection of books, starlink WiFi, Roku tv we didn’t use, and all the necessities. Management company was super efficient and easy to work with. We also had a small issue with the hot tub and maintenance was there within the hour, and fixed it immediately. House is 10 minutes away from everything you need… Coffee, booze, groceries, restaurants. 20 minutes away from downtown Salida. We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect place to relax and feel like you have the whole mountain to yourself. The pond and stream are very comforting. Hiking trails all over the property are great! The house itself is very beautiful, and has everything you need and more.
The pictures online are fabulous, but when we arrived and walked out on the back patio, we could not believe how gorgeous the property is! We had a great time exploring and relaxing outside. We loved that it was close to trails and spent several days exploring those trails. The location makes you feel far away from everything, even though it is just a quick trip into town for anything you could need or want.
