About this property

Salida, every good thing those other great mountain towns used to be.

Have you ever been walking along in the woods and suddenly things are just different?
Good different. Greener. More alive. We call it Spruce Pocket. Spruce Pocket is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath ranch style home with a finished basement. We are about 2 miles from the amazing little town of Salida. The property is within 150 yards of the upper Arkansas River which is one of the premier white water rafting rivers in the US. This section of the Arkansas is also a Gold Medal Fishery. If you have a major league arm and the wind is at your back you can launch a rock from our spacious redwood deck into the river. The Salida Trail System is accessible within a mile challenging accomplished mountain bikers as well as road rookies. Chaffee County has the most 14000' peaks in Colorado. The master bedroom has a breathtaking view of some the most beautiful peaks of the Sangre de Christo Mountain Range. The house sits on 4 acres, but because of the proximity to an old 62 acre dairy, it feels like a whole lot bigger. We run our horses on part of the old dairy. If you bring your horses, our pasture gate accesses about 400 square miles of state and federal land. Then there is a 9 hole golf course about 2 miles away. If you are more civilized, there are some great art galleries in Colorado's largest historic district. Restaurants are good and a couple are great. Spruce Pocket is 22 miles from the Monarch Ski Area. It is also 82 miles (plus or minus) from Breckenridge, Copper and Crested Butte...pretty sure. The important consideration is that you never see I 70. The house is pretty cool too. There is a beautiful stone (real stone) fireplace in the family room and a large screen TV for those who are not into gazing into the flames. The master bedroom has those stunning views, access to the deck and hot tub and a tiled bathroom which is to die for. If you really like tiled bathrooms. There is a guest bedroom downstairs with its own bath. An "exercise room" is available for the gym enthusiasts. Spruce Pocket is beautifully landscaped. The hot tub is drained and cleaned after each group leaves. As a result, the tub is seasonal.
There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities including a hot tub and a fitness center.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great house in a quiet location and within walking distance of town. Looked at the stars, listened to the geese flying by, watched the deer browsing (on the lilac!) in the front yard. Wonderful host and highly recommend this place for relaxation and peace.

Wonderful place for our multi-family trip! We had 4 adults and 5 kids, and there was PLENTY of space, great amenities, and a safe storage area for our bikes. It was also a quick drive or bike ride down the path to the downtown area. AND it was pet friendly with a fenced in yard! Lastly, communication from the owner was timely, clear, and easy — some of the best I’ve had with a rental! We had a great time and highly recommend!

Unique, beautiful stay near Salida!

We really enjoyed our stay!! The property is great and there was plenty of space for everyone to hangout inside (and outside); the outdoor porch and fenced in yard area was ideal for sitting outside with our dog. Tony was great and met us upon arrival - would absolutely stay there again!
