Great house
My wife and I stayed here and loved the house! It is located close to restaurants and shops, a very easy walk. The house itself is really comfortable, and has a great yard. We would definitely stay here again, which is the highest compliment that I can give

Best spot in Salida!
I am so glad we ended up at this property! It was the absolute PERFECT location. You can walk or bike anywhere you could possibly want to go. The house itself is so cute. The kitchen was fabulous, we’d been camping about a week and I was so ready for a ‘real kitchen’. The yard was wonderful, we played croquet and bbq’d and watched stars and just enjoyed the breeze. Bathroom is new and really nice too. So grateful this is where we ended up.

Amazing stay in Salida
I was so pleased with my five week stay here. The home is clean, cute, and has absolutely everything you could need. It's obvious the owners care for the place and stay here themselves. They were also quick to respond with any questions I had. My dog and I both loved the back yard - spacious, well maintained, beautiful big trees providing shade and the occasional deer hopping the fence. The location is perfect with shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance and a great Farmer's Market on Saturdays in the park across the street. Salida is also close to so many great areas to hike! I definitely want to return!!

At Home in Salida
Our family enjoyed our stay in this lovely little house tremendously. The house offered plenty of historic charm as well as creature comforts. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen fully functional. The yard provided a great place for our toddler and dog to run around, and hosted local deer as well. The best part of the house for us, however, was the location. It sits right on the edge of a park with a nice playground, and just four or five blocks walk from Salida’s shops, restaurants and the river. We loved exploring Salida, and used it as a base to visit a number of attractions within an hour of town. We’ll definitely be back!

Spacious & Adorable Mountain Home
We loved our stay at this home. Despite it's overall small size, it felt incredibly spacious and filled with light. We loved the vintage charm. This home is very comfortable and feels like a true home rather than a sparse vacation rental (which many can be). It has anything you could need for cooking as well as doing laundry, which we really appreciated. It was a great place to stay with our young pup, as well. The yard was perfect for her to run around in and a lovely space on it's own. The home was walkable to everything in downtown Salida which we definitely took advantage of. We would love to stay here again should we find ourselves in the area (which has tons of hiking, mountain biking etc). We know we only just scratched the surface.

Great Historic House
We enjoyed the house and location very much and would rent this house again. Only minor complaint is the need for a real dish strainer as we cooked ‘at home’ most nights.

Great little place in heart of Salida
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was very clean, cozy and comfortable. Perfect location for walking to shops and restaurants. 20-ish minute drive to Monarch. Excellent communication from host and reasonable cost. Would definitely stay here again.

More than expected
Cozy house with all the comforts! Just as advertised and then some. It is so refreshing to find pots and pans that are in excellent condition and a high end grill. When I had an issue with a snowboard binding, boy was I relieved to find a screwdriver in the utility drawer. Just like home! The only driving we did was to and from Monarch since everything else was in walking distance. Watch out for ice on the sidewalks while staggering back from Benson's at night. The floors creek a little (as older houses do). Just something to keep in mind if you plan to sneak out undetected in the middle of the night. The owners are easy to contact and very helpful. Will definitely return!

Perfect!!!
Couldn't ask for a better property or better property owners. Went for a ski trip, however due to the COVID-19 we didn't get to ski. Still the location of this property was perfectly close to everything in town. We walked or biked into the downtown area, and hiking as well as just hanging out at the property. Steve was fantastic. Highly recommend this property. We will stay again in the future!

A great house close to everything!
We really enjoyed this house. It's a very short walk to downtown and was perfect for our group where some skied at Monarch while others just wanted to hand out and explore the downtown area. The front porch swing is a great place to hang out and read a book and there is a nice park across the street if you have small children. The house itself is very comfortable and has everything you need for preparing meals. We've used VRBO many times and this house was another great experience. Salida is one of our favorite towns to visit in Colorado and we'll definitely use this house again.
