The Mountain Goat Lodge offers casual and comfortable rustic-style Salida lodging with all the modern conveniences of home. Wi-Fi access is available throughout the lodge, making the Mountain Goat Lodge an ideal destination for business travelers. Each room has an HD flat-screen television with Satellite premium channels, DVD, telephone with free long distance, private bath, rustic log beds, and individual balconies. Of course, the mountain views are awesome from every room in the lodge!
Unlike most Salida hotels, the Mountain Goat Lodge is located on 19 acres of rolling pastures with our resident goats roaming the meadows that provides a beautiful and peaceful getaway. The Lodge rests at the foot of the famous Sawatch Mountain Range in central Colorado, just 8 miles from historic downtown district of Salida.
Known as the Heart of the Rockies, Salida is a major recreational center located just east of the Continental Divide along the Arkansas River. Salida sits at an elevation of 7083 feet and has a population of over 5,500. Salida has grown from a railroad and mining town into a respected art community and significant historical district.
Today the most prominent business in Salida is tourism and can satisfy almost any outdoor adventure preference. Salida is home to the annual FIBArk kayak race, one of the oldest whitewater races in North America. Salida's downtown historic district has enjoyed a rebirth of development over the past few years.
Salida has been ranked among the best small art towns in the United States and was recently named as one of the 'Best American Dream Towns' by Outside Magazine. Although flanked by majestic 14,000-foot snow-capped peaks, Salida enjoys a surprisingly mild climate that some refer to as “The Banana Belt.”
Colorado Springs is just two hours away, and Denver International Airport is three hours away. Salida is also home to the newly built, state-of-the-art, Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center.

Today is a great day as we are finally getting our barn! Planning started back in May and I really had hoped it would be up before the cold weather came. However, the company Barns.com didn't seem to be in any hurry to fill my order! Also, I felt they really didn't provide me much in the way of professional advise or service. Being that my dear husband is out to sea most of the time, It was up to me to plan this project. Being my first barn, I was pretty terrified of making a mistake and forgetting something. So, that is why I relied on the "experts". Well, just as I feared, a large mistake was just noticed as they brought the pre-cut barn pieces to put on my cement slab. The orientation they had was East West, not North South as I had planned! Well maybe if I had looked closer at the blueprints this would have been obvious - but, at any rate we are adjusting our expectations and the placement of the stables and doors and corrals to fit the new orientation.
On another topic........I just returned from a two-day intensive cheesemaking workshop up in Massachusetts! The information was invaluable and I hope to be incorporating the cheddars and camembert cheese into my classes and cheese offerings at the inn. Happy fall everyone!
