We had the best time; absolutely lovely property. One of the ac units didn’t work, so, that was disappointing for the couple that got that room, but, they managed to use the window unit and it was ok. Otherwise it was absolutely lovely!

We had a wonderful stay- I would give an overall 5 star rating except that Salida can get warm during summer, and there were only 2 fans in property (no AC). The house was extremely hot in the afternoons/evenings when outside temps were 90-94° (it would cool down dramatically overnight, but was hot until after bedtime). The host was very gracious, and ordered 2 more fans to be delivered via Amazon during our stay, which arrived on our next-to-last night. Our only other minor issues were running out of TP, and the entrance was difficult to find in the dark when we arrived. There was construction to an outbuilding at back of property. The keypad instructions were given, but not that we would need to enter through a gate, not what the gate code would be, nor which side of property to find gate (we arrived at night, so was tough to see with insufficient lighting in alley). Otherwise, this is an excellent property and is one of my favorite VRBO rentals thus far!! The bedrooms were spacious, beds & pillows comfortable, bathrooms clean, great kitchen (!!), lovely front stoop/back patio/bedroom balcony. We were within 3-5 min walk to the main shopping & eating area of Salida. Also within walking distance to trails, River activities, and hiking/running trail up the mountain with the big “S.” Love Salida, enjoyed this home very much, will definitely look to rent it again!

We loved this house and the location was perfect. Very spacious for our large family. We really enjoyed reading about the history of the house and the family, and appreciated the beautiful design of this old house. The house is very well stocked with extra bedding, space heaters, lots of kitchen supplies, towels, etc. We had everything we needed. It's a two minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants but it is not loud. About 25 min drive to monarch ski area. We had an awesome time. Thank you!!

As long-time VRBOers, this very special house has got to be one of our all-time favorites. We felt completely at home, welcomed, and comfortable here; every need was provided for, the house was well-stocked with every conceivable amenity, and the location was a perfect home base for our Salida vacation. We definitely hope to return--thank you so much for sharing this wonderful family home with us!

This was my second time staying at this lovely historic home. I've done both winter and summer and they're both wonderful times to visit Salida. The home has everything you could need: stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, recreation toys, and incredibly proximity to downtown shops and restaurants. Thank you!

The Swallow House in Salida was wonderful. I can highly recommend it.

The Swallow House is extremely comfortable, with all of the amenities one would expect, and more. The kitchen was especially well appointed, with so many extras, like all of the seasonings one would want to use for cooking, as well as plenty of dishes and cookware. The location is superb, close to the center of activities. I will most certainly return.

Great Salida Vacation

Great Salida Vacation

We've stayed at this property multiple times. Sharon is a great host and communicator! The property is in a great location across from a park our kids love to play at. It's a block away from Moonlight pizza and brewery, which we love, and a 3-4 blocks from downtown Salida (lots of restaurants, shops, and the river and the downtown park our kids really love). It's also a 25 min drive to Monarch mountain, which is great for family skiing.

Home Away from Home

Home Away from Home

This home was everything we expected and more. It was our home away from home the week of Thanksgiving. We prepared many meals in the well-stocked kitchen, including a Thanksgiving meal. We were walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and even a grocery store. Our highlights were the after-Thanksgiving activities that kicked off Christmas. The arcade was a big hit too. We had so much fun talking with the friendly locals. Salida is a very welcoming community. This beautiful and very comfortable home is the perfect spot to spend time in the heart of Salida.

The Heart of Salida

The Heart of Salida

My extended family and I rented the house for a week as a base camp for our jeeping and hiking excursions. The house is in the heart of downtown and steps a way from food, drink, music and shopping. The house itself is very well stocked and extremely charming and well taken care of. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to come to Salida.

Can’t imagine a better location in Salida - right on F Street but just outside the main drag. Loved being able to walk to everything. We had young kids, and it was also nice to be right across from a playground. Beautiful old house, tastefully appointed and well-equipped in the kitchen.
