    Pros - beautiful location, friendly neighbors, good sledding area nearby, close to Monarch, very spacious. The only real con was the heat varied quite a bit throughout the cabin. We had to use blankets and wear hats one night at the dinner table while my daughter’s bedroom upstairs was very warm. We would stay here again. The check in process was easy.

    Wrong key code provided. Area has no cell service. Had to drive 7 miles away for service to obtain correct key code. Embarrassing when traveling with guests and not knowing I was going to be able to get in

    We came to this home a week before Thanksgiving and we got to live our winter wonderland dreams. Just enough snow that the kids were able to sled and build snowmen the whole trip, but not enough snow to keep us snowed it. Not too far from town, but very peaceful.This home is a place we want to come back and see during Spring/Summer.

    This house was very nice and cozy. Getting there was easy until we actually got to the neighborhood. We had to drive around the area to find the street. The GPS stopped giving directions once we got to the general area. So heads up. Also, to lock the door you have to enter the code and then turn the dead bolt, another heads up. No dish washcloths were available so we had to buy some from the local grocery store. The upstairs bathroom shower curtain liner was dirty with mildew. You can smell it right away. The cleaning service needs to use bleach to clean that shower. Last but not least, the upstairs back bedroom had a creepy feeling to it, bad energy if you will, so nobody slept in it. Other than those little inconvenience, beautiful property, very quiet, beds were comfortable, and house was clean.

    Excellent accommodations except the bridge down to the stream was roped off. That was disappointing as we come to the mountains to see water flowing.

    What a great mountain cabin located close to many great trails. Pop into Salida or Buena Vista for a great meal.

    Forest Creek Cabin was a perfect homebase for my family's recent Colorado vacation. The layout of the home enabled each of us to have our own space but also included beautiful communal areas where we could gather. The porches and balconies were definitely a highlight! The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Even though there is no central air conditioning, we were plenty cool from the refreshing mountain air. Plus, you can hear the rushing river when you have the windows open! We also found that the location was perfect for our needs. We were centrally located, so daytrips to Great Sand Dunes, Royal Gorge, and Leadville were all easy drives. Yet the cabin still felt remote enough that we had a peaceful, quiet spot to recharge at the end of the day. Nearby Salida is a beautiful little town, with lots of opportunities for great dining, shopping, and outdoor adventures. The guidebook app provided by Pinon Vacation Rentals was extremely helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough!

    We loved our stay here. Super convenient location to the Hwy, but you’d never know you’re close. Definitely feel tucked away while still having walkable roads and little trails to explore. The river is just off the porch but down a steep embankment. Beautiful for looking and listening, but not for playing or fishing. We explored Monarch pass (gondolas were so fun!), Almont/Taylor Park Res for fly fishing, and Salida and BV for shops and restaurants. The cabin was clean, well stocked, beds were comfy, and TONS of great DVDs to choose from if you need some downtime. The area was quiet, safe, well-maintained, and we’d gladly come back!
