Dog Friendly- The Retreat at Cochetopa

STR 010454
Welcome to The Retreat at Cochetopa! Nestled in nearby scenic foothills, this is an ideal four-season get-away! Leave the hustle and bustle behind to relax in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Located on Cochetopa Creek, this secluded home is 15 minutes from historic downtown Salida and 15 minutes to all natural skiing at Monarch Mountain. Elegant western decor complements an open floor plan anchored by a large wood-burning fireplace and spacious living area.

The back patio and cozy outdoor seating areas are the perfect place to relax, enjoy a cocktail and listen to Cochetopa Creek after a day of adventure.

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!

This property was perfectly isolated, clean, and serene that left me with the sense of calm that I needed.

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.

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!

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 property, check in and information provided was very above average. We wanted for nothing. Artfully decorated, comfortable beds, plenty of towels. You can hear the stream all night. Perfection. Fall aspen time you’d have gold! (Road in is not great for low cars)

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 really enjoyed our stay at Cochetopa. It's truly a magical place. The snowy views outside were beautiful and the stars were amazing. We hope to be back soon.

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!

Our family loved our 5-night stay at this amazing home and property outside of Salida. Although it was a bit farther from the Mt. Princeton Resort than we had originally planned to stay, the secluded location on a creek with a pond and various walking trails was the highlight of our vacation. The home was also beautifully appointed and comfortable for the entire family.

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.

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!
