The Lodge at Poncha Springs is a wonderful boutique roadside hotel in the Salida/Chaffee County area in Colorado. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. Its husband and wife owner/operators made every effort to make our stay a 5 star experience. The room we stayed in was Butler Cabin at the Masters Golf Tournament. All that could have been added was a pimento cheese sandwich and a refreshing beverage in a Master’s cup! We would definitely stay there again. What a cool unexpected experience! Thanks to the owner/operators for a wonderful stay.
