About this house rental
Welcome to Big Sky, a spacious mountain retreat just outside Salida, Colorado, thoughtfully set up for families and groups who want room to gather and room to spread out. With multiple living areas, a dedicated game room, and a private fenced patio with a gas fire pit, the home works equally well for active days outdoors and relaxed evenings at home.
Big Sky is located approximately five miles from downtown Salida and about twenty-five miles from Monarch Mountain, offering easy access to hiking, biking, rafting, skiing, dining, and local shops while still providing privacy and open mountain surroundings. The property sits in a Dark Sky–friendly area, making stargazing, meteor showers, and clear night skies a memorable part of each stay.
The home features a smart two-wing layout connected by a long hallway, allowing groups to comfortably share space without feeling crowded. One wing centers around the kitchen and main living area, ideal for cooking, dining, and conversation. The separate wing includes the game room and an additional living area, making it easy for kids, teens, or night owls to play games, watch movies, or stay up later without disturbing others. This layout works especially well for multi-generational trips and larger groups with different schedules.
The house includes four bedrooms with eight beds plus a queen-size sleeper futon, three full bathrooms, and two living areas. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and ample space for group meals, with bar seating and a dining table nearby. Smart TVs are located in the main living area, game room, and upstairs bedrooms.
The lower-level game room offers a pool table, ping-pong table, dart board, cornhole, board games, a wet bar with beverage and wine coolers, a second living area with a Smart TV, a full bathroom with shower, and a queen-size sleeper futon.
Outside, guests can enjoy a spacious private patio with seating, a gas grill, and a gas fire pit with propane provided. The fully fenced yard is well suited for kids and pets, and the open setting provides mountain views and expansive skies in every direction.
Additional amenities include a workspace with desk and chair for light remote work, a two-car garage with additional driveway parking, and dog-friendly accommodations. Up to two dogs are welcome with approval and a non-refundable fee. Essentials such as towels, linens, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, dish soap, paper goods, trash bags, coffee, tea, and filters are provided. TVs are located in common areas and upstairs bedrooms; not all bedrooms include TVs.
Big Sky offers a comfortable, well-designed base for groups looking to enjoy Salida, the Arkansas River, Monarch Mountain, and the surrounding trails while having a relaxed, functional place to come home to at the end of the day.

Big Sky absolutely lived up to it's name - the 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains were stunning. In addition, the home was clean, well-appointed, and so fun for a group!

Great house in a great location, especially for a big group. The house is spacious so it doesn’t feel crowded even with lots of people. There are lots of games, books, and movies, including for kids, which was great for keeping everyone entertained. The view is amazing, and it’s a quick drive into downtown Salida. The property manager was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. I would definitely recommend the house and plan to stay here again!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
We loved the space, but didn't notice it was by a county highway. The headlights and the sound of cars driving by made it hard to have a good night's sleep with the window and shades open to cool the upstairs. If there had been air conditioning, the issue would have been avoided, or if the temperature had been cool enough to keep the windows closed, but it wasn't. The air fryer was also dirty when we arrived, and we couldn't find a shovel to pick up our dog poop, and there were no bags per the welcome sign in the house for dog poop.We liked that we could have family playing pool and other games in one area of the house, and the other side of the house was quiet when needed. I appreciate the hostess, who always answered my questions in a prompt time frame.
