My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here. A short drive from many great hikes and super convenient to downtown. The house had everything we needed and more. Check-in and out was a breeze. Would definitely stay here again!
We absolutely loved this home! The communication was great, this home is well-maintained and spotless, beyond comfortable, well stocked kitchen, and the location was perfect. When we come back to Salida, we would love to stay here again!
Our family of four loved this log home and Salida. Lori was wonderful to work with before and during our trip and provided a very helpful manual and list of things to do. The house is lovely - comfortable, we’ll equipped - with beautiful views all around. We appreciated being able to use the two sand-boards for our trip to the Great Sand Dunes, an easy day trip from Salida. We enjoyed the hot tub every evening after our adventures. The downtown is a short drive and a really fun family spot. The kids floated the river and we loved the shops and restaurants that we visited. My husband biked the Monarch Trail and was able to rent and shuttle with a local shop. We spent time in Breckenridge before coming to Salida, and although Breckenridge is also lovely, Salida was much more our pace and style! Highly recommend this property and area of Colorado. Thank you, Lori!
Property was awesome. So much space and fun to unwind after a long day out exploring. Sitting out back and watching the stars come out was great. Only issue was that the house hold heat really good so at night it stayed warm even after the windows were opened. Upstars got a little hot but not unbearable. Lori was great to deal with the place has it all. My wife enjoyed the sauna after morning yoga on the front deck as the sun came up. Would definately stay there again.
This place is stunning, especially at night. It's an excellent place to star gaze and lay in their hot tub. Everything was so clean and comfortable. Thank you Shawn and Lori, we had a blast!
Epic place to stay!
What a lovely weekend in Salida! The house was so comfortable and clean with a fantastic kitchen and hot tub. We loved making fires and looking at the mountains! The owners were also so kind, responsive, and clear with how to get around the house. We can’t wait to come back!
Checked two items off our bucket list...perfect
Place was actually on some acreage, which gave a nice seclusion mountain feel. Host addressed all of questions promptly.
This home was amazing! I can honestly say the best Vrbo property we’ve stayed in. Exceptional in so many ways starting with communication from owners, cleanliness, well stocked kitchen as well as toiletries for BR, hot tub, sauna, fire pit, fireplace, beautiful views from the property. The extra touches such as diffusers throughout were thoughtful and much appreciated. We had such a great time we didn’t want to leave!
We loved our stay here so much and definitely plan to book again. The location was perfect for my husband and friends to head up to Monarch for CAT skiing and perfect for us to relax, head to Salida and walk around, and enjoy spectacular sunsets in the hot tub. This was my husband's surprise 40th trip and it couldn't have worked out better for our group of three couples and one baby. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!
Comfortable. Lovely manager. She bought pickleball supplies for us when we learned we could not check them out from the club.
Very comfortable home, good communication from Owner/Property Manager
Great amenities and all around beautiful cabin. Beds we’re comfortable and very convenient to skiing. I highly recommend
The house simply put, is amazing. Everything you see in the description and more. The location is in the middle of everywhere, close to Monarch, short scenic drive to Crested Butte. So much fun.
This may well be the best VRBO experience we've ever had, and we've used VRBO for many years. The hosts Lori and Shawn were all over my every question before we arrived and took care of all the details. The home is beautiful, spacious and quiet which is exactly what we wanted. The hot tub is amazing, and the stargazing was really great. It's close enough to Salida (10-12 minutes) but you are really out in the country with just a few neighbors. We didn't hear a peep from anyone the entire time. The spacious kitchen was perfect for our family meals and we had everything we needed to prepare them. Will definitely be back!
Gorgeous property that delivered everything we wanted and hoped for for our first trip to Colorado. Nestled in a little valley area with mountains on pretty much all sides, it was perfect after two days of driving to get there. Comfortable and clean with everything you'd need for a getaway. Particularly loved the heated floors, porches, fire pit and the hot tub. (My first hot tub I've been in!) Lori was amazing, always kept in touch with us and was responsive if we had any questions or concerns. Shelso provided us with helpful guides about local attractions, food and more. It offered us way more than we could do in the time we had, and her food recommendations were absolutely on point. Would love to come back. Nearby Salida was beautiful and charming, so if we ever make it up that way again, I know where I want to stay. Highly recommend!
Excellent! I needed to change dates and the owners were very accommodating and quick to respond. The communication through the VBRO app was very easy and informative.
We had a wonderful, peaceful family weekend at this property. It was exactly as listed. We went for a long weekend with our 3 twenty-something sons. Great views and a really nice property with a ton of privacy. Really only saw neighboring cows (no people). Downtown Salida with grocery and restaurants only 5-10 minute drive. We used the home as a jumping off point for daytrips and hikes in the nearby Mt Shavano, Mt Antero College Peaks area. Hosts were super nice and welcoming. Since it was only 2.5 hours from our Denver home we will definitely be back.
My family and I absolutely loved staying at Moonlight Acres! The property is a stunner both inside and out! We were blown away by the gorgeous views of the mountains including breathtaking sunrises/sunsets-enjoyed on the sprawling porches. We also enjoyed family time at the fire pit and hot tub. Extremely clean and comfortable-stocked with any amenity one might need. We absolutely would recommend Moonlight Acres and hope to return someday!
Amazing views, hot tub, sauna, workout equipment and anything else you could want or need! Beautiful home, I would say the best vacation rental we have stayed at.
I can't say enough good things about this property. The house is absolutely beautiful. The pictures probably don't even do it justice for how much space you have. The setting is amazing. The views are spectacular. You are close to Salida, but still have privacy surrounding you. The area is perfect for day trips, as we took drives to Gunnison, Aspen, and the Royal Gorge. The communication with the host was excellent, even throughout the week. The house had everything you could possibly need. Anything that I needed I was able to find easily. The hot tub is enormous and offers amazing views of the sun setting over the mountains. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone.
