Dog Friendly- The Retreat at Cochetopa

Beautiful home, beautiful view
The home was gorgeous, well stocked, and check in was seamless. Great base for exploring Salida and skiing. My only request/complaint is that the beds weren't very comfortable. It would be nice to have a king size bed in the guest rooms, particularly the master.

Beautiful Stay
The property is set back into the trees with fantastic views of the mountains and wildlife. Had no issues with getting in or lacating the property. Perfect location for a secluded stay but close to Monarch and Salida. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need and the living area was super cozy. Huge windows make is very picturesque during the day, especially of its snowing! Lots of space for a good sized family. We loved it and will definitely be coming back!

Peaceful
This is a great place to come and get away from it all. It’s located within 15 min of downtown Salida. The house in the yard are absolutely beautiful. There is a pond and some trails to explore and the views are stunning. We had a wonderful time here! The inside of the home is beautiful and the kitchen has everything you need to make a nice family dinner. Thank you!

Amazing home and property
Our family loved our 5-night stay at this amazing home and property outside of Salida. Although it was a bit farther from the Mt. Princeton Resort than we had originally planned to stay, the secluded location on a creek with a pond and various walking trails was the highlight of our vacation. The home was also beautifully appointed and comfortable for the entire family.

Mountain Respite
Lovely home. Great Kitchen for people that cook. Enjoyed evenings and mornings by the pond. It would be nice to have a vacuum cleaner to keep floors tidy. If your kids are older now , I might suggest using the middle bedroom as the second bedroom and putting another king bed in there since that bathroom is much larger than front bedroom. We hope to visit again.

Amazing short stay!
The house and property is breathtaking! The WiFi is spotty but I didn’t mind bc it got 3 teenagers actually playing board games and watching movies with us. It’s a great place to unplug and enjoy the views, they are amazing and the house is well equipped with hot tub towels, games, binoculars to look at the stars or spot animals on the ridge line, plates etc and complimentary hot cocoa. We’d definitely go back (even just to get the teens off their devices and to actually spend time with us again😅😉) highly recommend!

Loved our stay
We loved our stay! They house was the perfect size for our family and was decorated perfectly. You get the “I feel like I am at home” feel right away! The views from the back yard were spectacular. Our family would stare out the window for hours or we would enjoy sitting outside when the weather would allow. The kids had a blast exploring the property and loved making snow forts and messing around in the large front yard. We normally don’t rent the same house ever twice but we most likely will be coming back to this house! We miss it already!

Beautiful Property
My friends and our kids had a great stay here while skiing Monarch. Well described property and well stocked. Only issue I has was the wi fi - it has wi fi but as mentioned in the listing, it is very unreliable. I wasn’t able to check emails and work which was actually kind of nice. But just want people to know who work on vacation, this isn’t the place for that! But lots of games and movies to keep our teenagers occupied.

Birthday get away
We loved the house, property, location and the hot tub. We were not happy the heater went out in the house. When we spoke with the property manager, they apparently knew the heater wasn’t working before we arrived but they did not tell us. They did get a guy to come fix it twice but we had to call the property management company to get that done. And we had to go a day without heat during a snow storm. We also ran out of hot water. Thank goodness they had a fireplace!

Amazing Property
I'm not sure how many acres this property is, guessing at least 15, but it's really cool how they have timbers that mark the trails. The 9-year old, very quickly got his bearings, and both he and his 4-year old sister had a fabulous time roaming the property, of course under our supervision. The kids figured out very quickly, there was no point in side trips, we just wanted to enjoy the property. The house is great. We've stayed at a lot of VRBOs, and this one is better proportioned that most. Plenty of dishes, pans, baking dishes, glassware. Big kitchen, fun to work in. An actual games cabinet! A couple of bonus areas; a reading area, and a man cave with a chaise and a guest bathroom. Some suggestions. Wine glasses without stems; the ones there are lovely, but they don't fit in the dishwasher. Seems ridiculous to carry a stemmed glass in and out of the property. Saran wrap and aluminum foil? Sugar? Use of the garage, not sure why that's off-limits, a peak-in from a side window, only showed some minor equipment in there. Would be nice to have the cars free from hail damage. The washer and dryer are old and need to be replaced. I even tried running loads twice through spin, and they were still sopping wet. How about a 4th horseshoe? I tried like hell to find it.

Great secluded house with easy hikes
TL:DR: This is an amazing house. The views, proximity, hikes, and house amenities were all great. There are a few quirks about the house that are listed below, but considering I would absolutely stay here again, they are very minor and only listed as notables that might bother some people. Lastly, we saw a moose! Pros: Privacy: We never saw/heard anyone the whole time at the house Hikes: Easy hikes, the small mountain behind the house is easier than it looks with great views at the top More hikes: Drive down one of the other side roads to go a little "off-road" and hike other places without going far from home. Sound of the stream: Very relaxing to hear. Open/close the door to control the volume lol. Communication: They offered and sent out a hot tub service person during our stay to make sure it was clean for us during out stay. Check-in/Check-out: Very clear instructions and had 0 issues. Cons: Oven labeling was worn off. We never knew which burner we were turning on and as electric over users, we were hesitant to use the gas stove because we didn't know which knob did was and didn't want to blow anything up Kitchen stuff: Couldn't find plastic wrap or containers to save food. Furniture: A couple chairs were animal covered and the hair was uncomfortable to sit in. We had to put blankets over them. Beds: Described to me as a little firm, but I didn't think so and I had no problems sleeping. Hot water: Plan on turning it on and waiting 2-3 minutes before it is at a steady temp to fine adjust it. Outside table: Could use another table stand or 2 outside. So there it is. This was an amazing vacation and only made better by having a moose come and eat/drink from the pond for about 15-20 minutes the first day. He didn't care we stood on the patio and took pictures. We left the house and went in every direction to visit. St Elmos North, Gorge East, Great Sand Dunes South, and Continental Divide West (Monarch best gift shop!). Like I said above, we would absolutely stay here again and have no problems doing all the same things over again. Thank you for making your home available to us!
