Pretty views

We loved the place. Amazing views of the mountains. Close to skiing and the town of Salida. Salida DT has lots of restaurants, hiking and is a pretty little town. The house was a nice place to stay, clean and well decorated. WiFi is fast, tv is a projector and has streaming. The master bedroom was large with a king bed that was comfy. Having our dog was awesome, pets were one of the reasons we picked this house. We loved the area and enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful, private cabin in the mountains

Whiskey River was as beautiful as shown in the photos. It was cozy, comfortable, and a wonderful retreat. It met the needs of my "I need to get up in the mountains!!" itch. Not a complaint, but an FYI: the outdoor 'Edison bulb' lights stopped working. We left them unplugged. Not sure if there was a circuit tripped (we couldn't find a breaker panel to check). The kitchen faucet is getting loose: may want to tighten it up, so it works better. The instructions for the pellet stove and projector are out-dated. We figured it all out, but had to do our own research. There is also no dishwasher, though the instructions say to start it upon leaving the premises. Again, not complaining -- just providing information on our stay. I gave only four stars for cleanliness: there were several dirty dishes in the cabinets and silverware drawer. We had to wash everything prior to use, because they were filthy. We were shocked to find these items in the otherwise clean, tidy place. We know we left the dishes cleaner than we found them (scrubbed off cooking/baked-on grime from several pots and pans). We left some of our own coffee for the next guest to use. (Only one pot was complimentary? Seriously?) Other than the dirty dishes and the FYI items mentioned above, we very much enjoyed our stay, and the service and communication we received from Pinon.

Awesome place to stay

We had a great time—such a cool cabin. Our favorite part was the big yard and deck. We played yard games and ate food outside at the big table. The inside was clean and well-decorated!

Amazing Getaway near the Arkansas River!

This was a perfect home base for fishing the Ark with views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and frequent wildlife visits. We were blessed with perfect weather and amazing fishing. This area of Colorado is really something special and it did not disappoint.

Perfect Summer Basecamp

We wanted a secluded location to relax and decompress, while allowing us to travel around the region. This was perfect. Exactly as described and excellent hosts. Could not have asked for a better experience and excited to get back.

Peace and quiet with a view!

This property was just as described. It was large enough for our family of four and our dog. The house was clean and the surroundings were peaceful. The only other souls we saw were the deer that walked quietly by the house each day. This is a wonderful place for a quiet getaway.

First Family Vaca

We had an amazing time. It was our first full family vacation, not just a weekend getaway. The views from the front deck make this cabin an amazing stay. The cabin is older so it has some creaks but had nearly everything we needed for the week. It was close enough to everything we had planned for the week to keep us busy. We did lose power because of inclement weather so it made things a little spooky out in the wilderness but we were able to get more supplies after texting which made things much cozier for the rest of the stay.
