We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lookout. We usually stay in Salida, but our stay in the mountains, with just a short, easy drive to Salida was just what we wanted. We were able to enjoy a beautiful hike as the Angel of Shavano trailhead was very close by. The Lookout was well appointed with a complete kitchen, extra towels, blankets, and anything we needed. The hot tub was an added bonus! Pinon Vacation Rentals provided great communication and attention to detail. Thanks for a great stay!
Great Vacation Spot

5/5
Took our family of 4 (plus our dog) on a weeklong vacation to the Salida area. The house is conveniently located about 15 minutes west of Salida, and provides quick access to several great spots in the area. The home is well equipped, and was pet friendly, which was important for us. We were quite active while there, and the house was a great place for us to relax inbetween activities. Excellent views from the deck and the neighborhood is great for scenic walks. We made dinner and lunch there most days to save a little on our overall budget. It very much felt like a home away from home. Also - working with Pinon was easy and they were flexible with us moving our original reservation date. We would definitely stay there again - highly recommend!
Wonderful Stay!

Excellent stay at The Lookout

My family and I had a great stay at The Lookout! The property is easy to access from the highway, but sits back from the road and is very quiet day and night. The home has an open concept on the upper floor, which was great for family activities and also enjoying the view of the hills and surrounding scenery. The kitchen is open and has all the appliances you may need for meals. The bedrooms are comfortable and have plenty of closet space for clothes and luggage. The hot tub is easily accessible from the ground level and was really nice to have available after a day of hiking, snowshoeing, or skiing. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a quiet and relaxing stay in the mountains.
Love this rental!

Great for Family, Friends, and Pets

The property had a great location for our reunion. It easily accomodated 3 couples and two dogs. The entire house was super clean when we arrived, and we were able to use the hot tub and BBQ grill as everything was ready for us. Great kitchen and cookware provided.
The mountain view from the living area and deck was perfect. The house was not far from Colorado Springs, and central to Salida, Monarch Pass, and hiking and fishing areas. We discovered a access to the "Colorado Trail" just up the road from the house (on the way to the reservoir), and hiked a mile on it. Enjoyed seeing deer walk onto the property. We looked for the llamas mentioned in the notes but no luck.
The area for the pets was perfect. This made the stay enjoyable for our family members.
We plan to return for a family reunion in the future. Appreciate the property being available and in such good condition.
The Lookout-Great Stay!!
by Matt
5/5
We rented The Lookout for a four night stay with our dog and cat recently. The beds were the most comfortable ones we've ever slept in while on vacation! The hot tub was great and Buddy loved having a fenced-in yard. We hiked each day and our favorites were Waterdog Lakes and the Colorado Trail from the Angel of Shavano trailhead (go north). We went into Salida and rented bikes and rode around the town and by the river as well. Next time we'll definitely do some of the water sports. The house was well appointed and comfortable. There is a smart TV with Netflix, etc. which was really nice to relax to. The wifi worked great. I have Verizon and although the signal seemed low I was able to make and receive phone calls the whole time in and around the house. We did have a problem with keeping the upstair balcony doors shut when the wind blew. We wedged a chair under the handles. Other than that the place was perfect!
Great stay

We enjoyed staying at The Lookout. The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The Kitchen had all our needs and the hot tub is a bonus. The pilot light on the hot water heater went out but management quickly came out and fixed it. This is our second time staying here and we would do it again.
We'll back for sure!!

Loved the lookout! Could not have asked for a better escape. Lovely deck where you can enjoy morning coffee and stargaze in the night. (We saw three shooting stars!) The kitchen was fully stocked the bedding was quite comfortable. ( I slept in until 9 both days!) The hot tub was the cherry on top, so relaxing! We will be back.

The Lookout is a great homeaway from home. We saw all the beautiful Aspen colors, we made a Snowman from the first snow of the season, and did lots of scenic drives to all points of the compass. Would love to come back!!!

Cute cabin; location was deceiving
by Karen
4/5
Cabin itself was great. Accommodations were excellent. Loved the garage! That was a nice surprise. But what was also a surprise was how close the cabin was to hwy 50 and other neighbors. I was hoping to be a little more secluded. However, the location was great for getting to town and/or monarch ski area. Overall 4/5 stars.
