Comfortable, spacious home

My family of 8 enjoyed our stay in the Mesa area of Salida. It's away from town (quiet), but easily walkable to Safeway and the shops/restaurants on Main St and the riverwalk. The home had plenty of room for our family, and the beds were very comfy. Basic amenities were all there; the small back patio is nice, as is the fenced back yard. Excellent communication from the owners.

Great stay

This house has a great location and is close all the awesome things Salida has to offer. The house also seems to be magic as it’s much larger on the inside than it looks when you drive up. It was also well stocked with so many small things you tend to forget like ziplock bags, pens/markers, miscellaneous kitchen items and bathroom items. Very happy with our stay.

Mesa Location

This is a clean and lovely place to stay. It is in a quiet area that is close to downtown and the golf course. Great place to be if you want to walk or ride bikes. We especially liked the garage where we could safely store our bikes, chairs etc. Two bathrooms are upstairs and one is downstairs. Some rentals are not very clean but this one top notch. Thanks.

Spacious and charming Salida home in great location.

We stayed in this Salida home for a long weekend during our Spring break in March. It was great for 2 families with 4 adults / 5 kids, plenty of room for everyone. Only a 5-10 minute walk to downtown Salida and all the restaurants, galleries, and shops. The top notch mountain biking trails were only minutes away. We also skied at Monarch which is a short/easy 25 minute drive, this lovely ski area is smaller then most in summit county / Vail, but no lift lines or traffic! The home was very clean and well equipped in a quiet residential neighborhood. The star gazing was amazing and we even saw a bunch of deer roam through the yard. We want to come back in the summer and go rafting on the Arkansas.

Very nice, spacious house, everything we needed.

We stayed here while skiing at Monarch with family. This house had lots of room, and a nice floor plan. The basement was nice for the kids to have a place to play. It was great to have access to the garage, we kept our skis, boots, and poles in it at night. The house was clean, and had everything we needed from towels to bedding to dishes. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again. Thank You

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Hughes

Host profile image
My wife and I live in Denver and spend as much time as possible in Salida. We've been visiting the area for more than a dozen years and were married at St. Joseph's Church in Salida. Our first destination after the wedding was the Brewer's Rendezvous in Riverside Park (just a brief stop). We have a house in the perfect Salida neighborhood for kids -- safe, quiet, and with little traffic. Our children can enjoy all the area has to offer and experience life in a real mountain town.

Why they chose this property

This house is perfect for us and our friends and family. It's more than 3,100 ft2 with plenty of room for large families. The location on the Mesa is ideal -- walking distance to everything including downtown, the river and the Salida Golf Club. We can even walk to Safeway for groceries without the need to get in the car.

What makes this property unique

The attached 2+ car garage offers great space for bikes, ski gear and vehicles. The wide concrete driveway has plenty of space for your cars/trucks.
Our house is the only rental available on the Mesa. We have no neighbors on 3 sides of the house, so the home offers wonderful privacy. The fence surrounding the back yard is a stucco wall -- more privacy and safety for the little ones.
