This is our 3rd time renting this property, and we love it more each time we stay. The house is comfy, cozy and so clean... and the beach area along the river is so neat. We will definitely be returning!

Had absolutely wonderful time in Salida! The property is much better than on the pictures. The house is old but beautifully renovated. It is generously stocked with everything you need and much much more, making the stay super comfortable. Will definitely come again!

My hubby and I met one of my HS besties in Salida to attend the annual Brewers Rendezvous in July 2024. The location of Holly's place was PERFECT! We parked on Friday and didn't touch our cars until leaving Sunday. We spent time down on the river soaking our feet and watching the rafters, tubers, paddlers, and surfers. And loved being able to walk everywhere in "downtown" Salida.
The best was a king bed in the main BR...rare in Salida rentals.
The three of us made one bathroom work.
And we were super happy to have central A/C and a couple of fans during a hot summer weekend.
The kitchen has everything you'll need. Plugs are in awkward spots, but it is an older, updated home. Easy enough to make it all -- coffee pot, toaster, etc. -- work.
The "hot tub" mentioned in the property details must be referring to the jetted bathtub in the bathroom? There is no true hot tub. We all only took showers so can't comment on the jetted tub.
The back patio is lovely; super hot when we were in town; look forward to staying again to enjoy a morning tea outside.
There is a huge space for parking that also provides a very short walk to sit right by/on the river. Complete with Adirondack chairs and fire pit. There are also PLENTY of towels supplied for all your river fun. Again it was atpically hot during our stay so we stayed in the shade dipping into the cool water. Bring bug spray.
Other features we ended up not using:
3 TVs
Grill, I assume gas
Couple of bikes
Highly recommend.

Clean, comfortable, compact inside. And delightful spacious lovely huge outdoor spaces. Walking distance to everything important downtown and on the river, as promised. Everything worked out beautifully.

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.

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!

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!!

Awesome location to watch fireworks. We enjoyed the house, very clean and comfortable. Parking was a problem but the close proximity to all the downtown activities that might be expected. We would only suggest that a backyard fence be constructed between a neighbor as it would have alleviated the problems when we arrived.
