Loved our stay

Salida is one of our happy places and this stay is a treasure! The charm of this historic house was everything and the location can't be beat! We sat on the porch and the kids played at the park across the street, then wandered into town for restaurants shopping and playing by the river. We hope to stay again!

A quick 5 minute walk gets you to the beautiful historic downtown, and a 30 minute drive allows you to be on the ski slopes in no time. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you!

Repeat visitors - love this place

We have stayed in this house at least 3-4 times over the past two years, when we come to ski Monarch. It is always perfectly clean, cozy, and comfortable, with everything we need. The fenced back yard is lovely for our dog, and the park across the street is our kiddo's favorite. We'll keep coming back!

A piece of heaven

We rented this property because of its proximity to other family members who were vacationing in Salida. This adorable house is located across from a park, and an easy walk in to the quaint town of Salida. We loved the charm of the house and the owners were wonderful! There is a large back yard, which is great when the weather is pleasant.

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.

Excellent location and accommodations

We had a wonderful spring break stay at the cottage. The house is charming and well equipped with everything you need. We were very pleased with the short walk to the grocery, the parks, the river, shopping, and restaurants, with a short 30-minute drive to ski Monarch.The pet-friendly accommodations were very important to us, and our dog appreciated the large yard.We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the sun. We will definitely return in the fall for hiking.

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.

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!
