Update 11/7/24: We are closing our calendar for the winter. If you are in a bind or have stayed with us in the past, message us to see if we are able to accommodate you. We have highway access and several mostly-level parking spots on our small acreage surrounded by much larger ranches. The highway can be busy during the day, but it is usually very quiet at night. Monarch Ski area is within 20 miles. Poncha Springs is the closest community, for minor shopping and some dining. Downtown Salida is 6 miles away. There are several breweries, wineries and a distillery. Outdoor activities in Chaffee County include river-related (fishing & rafting), hiking the numerous peaks and trails, mountain biking, 4-wheeling, and general sightseeing. Municipal water and a pay dump station are at the Poncha Springs Visitor Center. Wildlife in this area ranges from mice to moose. While we have never seen a moose or elk on our property, they are nearby. We often have deer, racoons, foxes, coyotes, bears and mountain lions visit. We have multiple species of birds, from hummingbirds to red-tailed hawks and owls. Watch for deer on the roads, especially at dawn and dusk. We are part of Boondockers Welcome and this is not a Harvest Host location. We do not expect any payment, donations, gifts or purchases of any kind. Please be considerate. We are not paid AT ALL for this service - our only compensation is a free membership to BW!
