Howard House | Base Camp for your Adventures

2 Bedroom House in Howard

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.

Summary: We loved the 2 room cabin.The location allowed access to Salida and Cotopaxi along with longer trips to Leadville and Canon city/Royal Gorge.We used the full kitchen daily and enjoyed the intermittent stream in the mornings. We saw a doe and 2 fawns in the yard. Clean and felt like new construction.Warm evenings which require fans to cool off. Crisp mornings we fantastic. Started off with coffee and away for local adventures. We enjoyed the fire ring for marshmallows and brats and hot dogs before a fire ban hit. We would love to come back. Zero negative to say about the hosts or property. Steve pointed us up the mountain for a day trip we enjoyed. We never would have known. Thank you for the suggestions and great lodging.
