Minutes to town but feels a million of miles away!

If you would like to get a real feel for our property visit us at Shawsriverranch.com We live on 75 acres with access to both Green creek and the South Arkansas river, our home is up on the ridge that overlooks the meadow and mountains. Down by the meadow we built a Lodge with a luxurious suite attached. This is brand new construction with 12 foot ceilings and everything you need to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The Lodge and outdoor beer garden are private, but guests of the lodge suite can enjoy the outdoor bocce ball court and 9 holes of disc golf along with private access to fly fishing on the south Arkansas, and fishing (catch and release)on the two stocked trout ponds. Our property is just down the road from Green Creek hiking trail, it is only 7 miles to Salida and only 13 miles to Monarch Mountain ski resort. The property sits between two wineries, Mountain Spirit Winery (close enough to walk or bike ride to) and Vino Salida. If you love the outdoors then this majestic property is for you. Very private yet close to everything! This is truly a one of a kind property. If you would like to see flyovers and updated photos of the ranch please visit us at Shaw'sriverranch.com We live on the property so you may or may not run into us and our dogs. While the bar is private and for the use of us, our friends and family and other lot owners of the Ranch developement, if we are there, we are not there late at night.

Amazing place just outside of town!
Our stay was perfect! We loved waking up to the Mountain View. The accommodations were upscale and super comfortable. We went skiing, snow shoeing, hiking (all within minutes) and also shopped/dined in Salida. Mary Ellen and John were great hosts! Always there for us when we had a question but didn’t see them at all (except for the night they invited us to the lodge-NYE-and served us delicious lobster pizza and cocktails:) Great people, great place. Highly recommend.

This cozy cabin is located just off the main highway in the area. It was super easy to find and get to with the property managers directions. The electric fireplace gave off a comfortable amount of heat and was great for helping dry out our ski boots and gloves. The bed was VERY comfortable and the extra blankets were appreciated. Mary Ellen was very accommodating and made sure that if we needed anything to not hesitate to reach out.

This cabin was perfect for a long weekend get away! The property is in between the ski mountain and Salida so we were only a short drive to everything. Mary Ellen was great about communicating with us and proving suggestions for things to do. We loved walking around the property and playing frisbee golf as well. The cabin was the perfect size for two people and very clean and cozy.

Wonderful weekend getaway!
We had a great time at the Shaw’s Lodge! It was peaceful and the fall colors were gorgeous. We loved walking the property and found the lodge relaxing and quiet.

Amazing property, we can't wait to visit again!
We LOVED our time at Shaw's River Ranch. The property is spectacular. From playing frisbee golf to exploring the meadow and river to simply enjoying the views with a book and beverage in hand - we didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back. The rental unit is perfect with beautiful finishes, very comfortable bedding, and all the kitchen supplies you could need. The location is great, very peaceful and quiet but also a quick and easy drive into downtown Salida, up to Monarch, or to the many recreation areas nearby. Mary Ellen was so friendly and easy to communicate with, and we greatly appreciated her local tips on hiking trails (including Greens Creek just up the road!), restaurants, and more. It's clear that Mary Ellen and John work hard and take a lot of pride in their property, and we are so grateful that we were able to experience it. Hope to be back again soon!
