This property was perfect for our Christmas trip. It was like we where staying in a hallmark movie! The kitchen was well stocked for anything you needed to cook with. Very impressed. The guys loved the fact it had horseshoe pits!! It was also great to have the hottub to come back to after a long day of skiing.

A beautiful property that is big enough for 12 people. Great views on the Arkansas! That said, bring plenty of bug spray.

Another Great Vacation!

This was my family's third time at this house and it was great, as usual. Plenty of room and bathrooms for our family of 10. The views from the back porch are still spectacular and the kitchen was well equipped to handle all the cooking done during the week. A good base for exploring the area, from Salida to Monarch to St. Elmo.Try the pizza at Amica's and Moonlight. Our family is divided on which is best.

Perfect Place to stay in Howard

This was an awesome place for our family to spend my parents 50th wedding anniversary weekend. The views were beautiful and the house was perfect for us. The back deck was the perfect place to enjoy breakfast and the view. We plan to book it again the next time we have a family gathering!
