Exceedingly clean and true to period, this beautiful Victorian duplex surpassed our expectations. Five stars.

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!

Our big family has stayed in Salida often and Swallow House exceeded our expectations! Its prime location proved to be perfect for all our needs, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone. The spacious and well-appointed accommodations left no room for discomfort, providing our family with everything we could possibly require for a memorable stay. Swallow House truly enhanced our Salida getaway, making it a remarkable and satisfying retreat for all.

Great location and nice house

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!

Enjoyed the property. The location was great. Beautiful staircase and wood floors . 3 different deck spaces.

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!!

We had a great stay!
