Prestige Mountain View with a relaxing Waterfront at Arkansas River.

Unfortunately we arrived that evening to uncleaned home. I called the host and did not receive a call back, until noon the next day. That night we were on our own. We stripped the beds, washed all the sheets and towels, vacuumed and spot cleaned the restrooms, ourselves. the house cleaner did come the following day for all the rest. There was NO hot tub, as stated in the listing. It is “tired” property, my guess run by a management co.... the heat is very uneven from room to room. The pluses were; Beds were comfortable, spaces large were large with plenty of room, and the restroom supplies were generous. In the end they did compensate us some. if the Hot tub mentioned was there it would have made the stay much more tolerable.

The Good: - 3 car garage - Comfortable beds - Scenic view - Proximity to Salida/Monarch The Bad: - Low water pressure - Tempermental hot water - Condition of the exterior of the house Pictures of the house online are obviously outdated. When we drive up to the property, we honestly all thought it was an abandoned house. Metal fence/gate broken and falling over, paint peeling off the house, broken window in the garage, metal railing around perimeter of the back deck looks dangerously unstable, metal staircase down to gazebo/lawn seriously dangerous in cold weather. Was relieved that the interior was more as represented online. Somewhat dated, but clean. Heat works fine. Beds were comfortable. Internet signal was strong. Water pressure was low but thats probably nothing they can control. Water was sometimes hot but other times just warm regardless of what order you took showers. Could have been better stocked for those that want to cook. No dish cloths, one dishwasher pod, no papertowels and only cursory toilet paper. Had to figure out that the water taps to the washer had been turned off before we could do the laundry. Property was adequate but would not stay again.

Perfect getaway vacation home for families! The home is beautifully furnished and provides plenty of space for a large group - both inside and outside on the gorgeous deck! Had a few glitches (mainly just bad luck) and found the host (or hosts) to be a bit slow in responding to questions or issues! All in all, a great trip and would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed our time in Howard while skiing in Monarch. The house worked well for our family! Loved the setting on the river!

This property is perfect for people wanting to stay ON THE WATER and have easy access to Salida. There is even a breakfast diner two minutes away in Howard! The views off each side of the house are absolutely incredible. The river is not only fishable from the property’s private beach, we caught trout right right away on my birthday! The check in and out was easy and the house is secluded from neighbors but not far from civilization. Perfect for a unforgettable vacation!

We had 3 families together for the FibArk weekend in mid June. This property was great and comfortably fit everyone! Celica was very easy to communicate with and we got in no problem. We spent most days in and around Salida to watch FibArk festivities downtown as well as doing some biking and rafting ourselves. This home was great to come back to at the end of the day. We cooked breakfasts and dinner together too. We used the grill one night and all watched the Avs playoff game. Would definitely recommend! Clean and comfortable home in quiet area.

Such a LOVEly view of the world in the beautiful peaks of Howard. The Mediterranean vibes of this classic estate allowed stories to unfold. The privacy within this living space was accentuated by the expansive porch and the river front. Each amenity added a comfort of living in luxury. The intricate woodwork design unified this cool property! Gratefully—

The house was nice but it wasn't set up for groups that want to cook a lot.

This was an excellent location and we enjoyed our stay very much. Our group were five adults in the same family here for a fishing/guys weekend. We hung out on the deck at the end of each day and enjoyed the scenery and company. Bring bug spray during mosquito season. The only concern we had was the low water pressure in the bathrooms made it difficult to take quick and thorough showers as the spray was very light. Especially for the price we paid, this should not have had this issue. If this was fixed, it would have rated 5 stars. The property was clean and the setting superb. Overall, it was just what we needed for the long weekend. Thank you.

Large house, large deck with beautiful views, and fishing. It's close to shopping, River rafting, and many other activities. Will definitely stay there again.
