Incorporated in 1880, the charming historic town of Salida was named as one of the 'ten best places to live' by television’s Fine Living program. Salida is known for its mild climate, plentiful outdoor recreational opportunities, and burgeoning arts scene, including the well-respected Salida Museum. It’s set beneath the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range to the south and the Sawatch Range to the northwest with its 15 peaks over 14,000 feet in elevation (which is why the region’s nickname is the “14ers Region.” The section of Arkansas River that runs near the town is world-famous for whitewater rafting and kayaking.

One of our guest said it best..
'It is much prettier than the pictures lead you to believe. Hot tub is right outside the back door and fenced on one side for privacy. Property manager was super and responded quickly to all questions. We saw llama, deer and wild turkeys wandering around the neighborhood while we stayed. Easy access to both the Monarch ski resort and the town of Salida.

    We had such a lovely time at the cabin! We stayed Tuesday-Saturday in mid October. The cabin was very easy to find and just close enough to town, but not all the way in town. We really enjoyed the cool nights and seeing the stars from the hot tub. Loved the dvd collection and we watched some classics. We have a 4x4 vehicle so we were able to easily get to St. Elmo then do tin cup pass and Cumberland pass before getting back to the cabin in a day. We also did a day trip to Leadville to ride the train and explore the town. We did do just some chill time at the cabin with the family and we mostly stayed outside by the creek, my girls made tiny forts for their toys along the creekside. There is a lovely area that’s all cleared out by the creek with a bench with the best seen view of creek and a picnic table for meals. Unfortunately we just didn’t have time to do a fire but there was a very nice designated fire pit area. This cabin is very clean, plenty of linens, and more than enough in the kitchen. This cabin was very thoughtfully stocked and cared for and it shows. I did need to reach out to Leona a day before our trip and she was very responsive and kind.

    This property is perfect for those of us who want slightly more than a local hotel offers (privacy, kitchen, pets, outdoor space, etc). After reading the reviews, my wife and I booked 2 nights with our small dog over the 4th of July weekend 2025. Everything was great and the price was very reasonable. The king bed is comfortable. The living space was cozy. The creek is a nice addition. We sat on the front porch a lot and saw deer on the property both days. Although the property is private, there is some noise from the main road on the other side of the creek but it didn’t really bother us. I have no complaints. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

    I would give Monarch Mt Cabin 10 stars if I could. The neighborhood is beautiful with mountain views every way you look. There is a delightful stream running behind the cabin and a fire pit and picnic table nearby to enjoy it. The cabin was spacious and clean. The host provided generous amenities, cookware, utensils, and much more. There are endless activities in the area. It's a short drive to downtown Salida where there is shopping and restaurants and the river runs through the downtown area. There are several hiking trails nearby as well. The whole place looks like a picturesque postcard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It is higher altitude than Salida and was nice and cool the entire time. Lot's of outdoor activities close by and Salida is only a 10 minute drive away. I will definitely stay here again. Jack
