Country house along the Arkansas: Views and hiking included. | House in Howard
2 Bedroom House in Howard
Relaxing family getaway located in the Upper Arkansas River canyon near Howard, CO. This 2 bedroom 2 bath house is located at the end of a quiet dirt road and is only 20 minutes from Salida, 40 minutes to Monarch Ski Area, and a peaceful 15 minute walk to fishing and boating along the Arkansas River. A great location for family vacations, fishing/boating trips, or for getting some great R&R.
This is the house that we (Kate and Rick) hope to retire to, and we are excited to share it with some guests, so that we can afford to keep it and enjoy it when we have time to come visit ourselves, or with our family! This is not run by a vacation rental company, and therefore is not a "luxury" home, but it is very comfortable and we have endeavored to make it nice for guests. We are welcome to any suggestions and improvements, and hope to invest our rental money back into the house over the coming years to make it even better!

ATTENTION: Fremont County fire bans during the summer months are common in the area. When dry conditions abound, Fremont County fire ban information is sometimes difficult to find - but we encourage fire safety and often ask guests to refrain from smoking, using firearms, and sometimes from using the fire pit. At a minimum, the fire pit should always be supervised and should be extinguished fully before leaving the area or going to sleep. We will provide notes to this effect before check in, and encourage questions from guests regarding fire safety precautions.
