great location

Our 3-day stay was delightful. This small house within walking distance to restaurants and shops was the perfect location. Access to the river for my husband, the fisherman, was great as well as just sitting and watching the river and all the activities go by was perfect for me. The house is cozy but the bedrooms are large and the bathroom and kitchen met our needs. For anyone with mobility or balance issues the shower can be quite tricky to access since the tub is very deep and there are no grab bars. We would definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

A little slice of heaven!!

We could not have asked for better accommodations for our trip to Salida!! The little private beach/fire pit down by the river was so peaceful. We were a party of 5 and there was more than enough room. Great private parking in the back. We walked everywhere we went in town. No need to drive. The house was adorable! Two big beds, a comfy couch, enough room to put a blow up mattress with lots of room to spare. The kitchen had all the amenities. A full sized washer and dryer for doing a little laundry. I wish we could have stayed forever. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property!! Holly, the owner, was awesome and very responsive. Wish I could include photos for you. If you choose to stay here, you will not be disappointed! Cannot wait to go back to Salida. I could have stayed on the property the entire time and been happy as a clam!! Thank you, Holly!!

Fantastic location and charming, well stocked house

This was my family’s first trip to Colorado and we couldn’t have picked a better home to rent. The location to downtown was perfect. You could walk to numerous restaurants and shops. We loved the river in the backyard for fishing, swimming and relaxing. The home was immaculate and well stocked with everything we could have needed. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Bungalow

We had a wonderful stay at this cute waterfront bungalow, located on the corner fringe of downtown Salida. The place was clean with all the comforts of home. We enjoyed walking into town and along the river front right from this ideal spot.

Perfect location

We had a wonderful stay here. The location was perfect for our needs and the spot by the water could not have been nicer. We were able to go tubing from the property, sunbathe, and enjoy morning coffee by the water. So east to walk to anywhere you need to in town. Communication was very easy and quick. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Favorite Place in Salida!

We love staying at this property - I've forgotten how many years we've been there. The house is very nice and well kept and the owner is great to work with. The best thing, however, is the location. The back yard is on the river with a nice firepit and sitting area and you can walk to all the attractions in downtown Salida. We look forward to our next visit!!
