About this farm stay rental
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.

Good communication with owner. Nice stay

The house was perfect for our stay and close to the places we went. Enjoyed being close to town but still close to nature and all its beauty. The views were incredible! Would highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

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.

Location was great for our family reunion. Beautiful mountain views, especially from the master bedroom. Tony, the host, was nice but not at all responsive through the VRBO app. We had to contact him by phone directly to get check-in instructions. And while his voicemail says he checks messages frequently, it took a day to get a response from him when the WiFi went down and we discovered a mouse in the house.
