If you love the river, gorgeous views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and easy access to Salida, then Howard River Gathering is the place for you!
Howard River Gathering is a 2.5 acre property. The 1500 sq ft A-Frame is cute & compact and sits on the upper part of the property. The kitchen, dining area & living room flow into one space. Just beyond the living room is the master bedroom with a king bed & en-suite bathroom. Next to the kitchen is a full bath. Upstairs there is a landing with a full bed & twin. Beyond the upstairs landing is a bedroom with a queen bed & sliding glass doors to the top front deck. The back of the house boasts a spacious back entry way with laundry, an office work space and a 5x7 work out area with weights, bench & yoga mat. Off the back entry way is a deck with comfortable seating, dining table & BBQ. The house sleeps 6 people comfortably. There is plenty of parking available.
The lower part of the property is an open field with some fruit trees and a greenhouse that opens up to 150 feet of river front. The riverfront area has a beautiful deck with Adirondack chairs & smokeless fire pit. Fisherman can wade out in front of the property where there is an island, 1/3 of the island belongs to Howard River Gathering. Unfortunately, fisherman must stay in the river just near our property and not wade upstream or downstream due to private property laws.
The whole space was designed with "all the comforts of home" in mind. Next to each bedside is a charging station & reading light. There are three potential work stations, two lap top tables & one proper desk. All products used to clean are are organic &/or non-toxic. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of plates, glasses, cutlery... and essentials for cooking, like a toaster oven, slow cooker, pressure cooker & blender. There's also is a Weber gas grill & grilling utensils. Coffee pot, filters, beans & grinder provided, along with tea & sugar.
Guests can access the Arkansas River front.
-Guests are welcome to put-in for river adventures at the East Salida put-in or at Rincon and take-out on the property (take out on the property might be challenging during high-water or for inexperienced boaters. I suggest checking it out in person before attempting to take out.)
-Guests can also put-in at Howard River Gathering and take out further down stream (at low water, you must go around to the outside of the island to float downstream.) The next take-out is Vallie Bridge.
-Guests can also fish from the shore or wade out into the river to fish. The deck by the river is the perfect place to hang out. The lawn down by the river is great for kids or dogs to run around, although animals & children must always be supervised by the river. There is a green house in the middle of the lawn that is a work in progress, so that will be in the beginning stages of functioning this summer.
Jess, an old friend, is living next door & care-taking the property. She'll stay out of your way, but also be available if help is needed. I (Julie) will be available by text, VRBO message, phone, etc. I live 2 hours north of Howard and visit periodically. Otherwise, two of my friends (Shawna & Attila) who live in Salida are doing the cleanings & helping me co-host this property. They'll be available too if need be.
Something to note is that Howard is a close knit community that relishes peace & quiet, so out of respect for our neighbors, we encourage camp fires and chill activities, but don't encourage rowdy parties. Since it is a special place, we hope that our guests will love & care for the property as much as we do.
