Base Camp for your Adventures

We are located in the Big Horn Sheep Canyon. Just minutes from gold medal fishing, kayaking and rafting on the Arkansas River, hiking, mountain biking, mountain climbing, off-road riding trails, skiing and hunting. Our cabin will provide a base camp for just about any outdoor activity you want to do. We are 12 miles east of Salida, Colorado, the Heart of the Rockies. We currently have 1 restaurant and 1 food truck, which is walking distance from the cabin, in Howard. We do not have a grocery store or gas station in Howard. Most amenities are located in Salida.
We have a fully furnished 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin with a queen bed in each bedroom. We can comfortably sleep 4. We also have a pack n play available. We have a fire pit with a grill by a creek that runs next to the property that is available when we are not under a fire ban. Our area of Colorado is semi-arid, and we are frequently under a fire ban in the summer. We have a picnic table by the cabin next to a propane grill.
We live on the property behind the cabin and are usually available to answer questions or help you in any way we can.

Nice quiet clean place! Went to ride my side x side and fish on the Arkansas river. Plenty of access to both. Great stay! Much better than a hotel stay with better amenities and cheaper than a hotel.

We love staying here. I have lots of family that lives in Howard and this is the perfect place to stay when we go to visit. This was our second time staying at this property and we will stay again next time we are in town. It is a wonderful place to stay and has beautiful scenery right outside the door. I love being able to hear the creek when you step outside.

Excellent location for what we wanted to do. Very clean, everything in the facility works and operates like it is in new condition. Steve and Debbi are great hosts and always a joy to talk to, good down to earth people with a positive attitude that makes you feel good. Thank-you, couldn’t have been better.

Had a wonderful weekend at this cabin. The proximity to the mountains was key for us, but both the space itself and the owners were really nice. The stream that runs next to the cabin was a great place for the kids to play, the fire pit was a great early evening activity and the cabin had all the amenities one would expect. Will definitely consider staying here again the next time we’re in the area.

A very nice place. You can tell that Steve and Debbi take good care of their place. Really enjoyed talking with Steve about what is going on in the area and just general conversation. Is a great place to relax between sight seeing and going to the music festival. The beds are very comfortable, got a good nights sleep every night.

First off so easy to find. Debbi and Steve have decked this cabin out. If u need it it was there. We showed up with some food and needed nothing else. The flowing creek by the cabin was amazing back drop. Perfect for 4 people… Thanks for making a great trip! We will be back

Debbie and Steve's vacation cabin was perfect for our needs. The cabin is spotless on the inside. We appreciated the coffee and all of the brand new windows with screens which cooled off the cabin without letting in any of the bugs. The driveway was long, making it easy to park our SUV with ATV trailer.

first we had car trouble, they arranged for us to get to the cabin later in the week. when we got our van back, we had to get to the cabin late we were met outside to help us find where we were going. They are a great Christian Couple who made sure our time at the cabin was awesome.

We stayed during here during a ski trip to Monarch Mountain. The cabin was perfect for my family! It was very clean & spacious. We really loved the heated mattress pads & also the family of wild turkeys & deer that came by the windows in the morning!! Would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay! It was perfect for our family, and we plan to stay again next time we go to Howard to see our family. We were so excited to find a place right in Howard so we could be close to our family we were visiting.
