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.

Overall great property and great location. We would have appreciated blinds on the lower windows in master bedroom. Also, the whole house was very dusty and needed a deep clean.

The house and property were well suited for our multi-generation family, with plenty of privacy when desired and good communal space when we wanted to gather and visit. The rural setting belied the fact that we were only minutes from the heart of downtown Salida, and we enjoyed being close to the river and all the activities it provided. The property will only be more desirable to some when the on-site wedding venue is operational. The host was accommodating to our particular needs and easy to communicate with. We would recommend staying here.

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!

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.

This is a great house with lots of space indoor and outdoor. We did not do any cooking, I would say the kitchen is small and that might be difficult. The kitchen is well stocked, more so than other places I've stayed. The space to gather as a family is outstanding. You're very close to downtown, with some really excellent restaurants! Mount Princeton also not far! The beds were all comfortable. I'm sure we will be back!

Good stay overall

Tony's house was great for our group of 8 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of space. Tony was friendly and helpful. The location was nice and quiet, pretty close to downtown, biking distance from S mountain trails, and walking distance to public fishing access on the river just below the house. It did get a bit warm in the house late evenings in July but cooled down overnight. We did see a mouse while we were there but no droppings or evidence that it had been in the house a long time. We would consider staying here again.

Great house for everyone

We had a multi-generation group - from 30-90 yrs old and the house was perfect. It was huge and had plenty of room for everyone. The master suite was beautiful and had incredible views. It was nice to be outside of town with great views. But, also very close to enjoy any activities. Tony was an excellent, informative host.
