Great place and great management company
We just stayed four nights at the Blue Bottle Trout Camp and Cottage and we had a wonderful time. The home was immaculate, comfortable and well-stocked. The proximity to the river made it easy to try our hand at fly fishing just a few steps away. It's closer to town than the listing shows - only about a 15-minute drive into Salida. This made it convenient while still being out in the country and away from traffic. The skies were clear and the stargazing was an added plus. Would definitely return. Pinon Management was super-helpful and responsive to our needs and questions too. Highly recommend them as well.

Beautiful home and location
The home felt very luxurious but still rustic. It had amenities that I would expect at a hotel or resort. My spouse, our 3 kids, my parents and I stayed in the main house. My aunt and uncle stayed in the cabin. Overall perfect for our family. My aunt and uncle could easily join us for meal but still escape the noise from the kids.

Beautiful property and wonderful accommodations
The overall experience from finding the property online through check-out was extremely pleasant with no issues. The property was immaculate and the location was pristine. It was a short drive to Monarch Mountain also. All of us had a wonderful stay.
