About this property

Enjoy Your Stay in Salida at this Family-Friendly Home Near Downtown! Lic #0229

This historical house was built in the early 1900's; it has been completely re-done including a new heating system, a new kitchen with new appliances, new carpet, and fresh paint. Despite all of the updates, you can still see the vintage charm of the house in many of its details and its unique architecture.

The main level of the house has 2 full bedrooms (both with queen-sized beds) and 2-full bathrooms. The kitchen is fully-equipped and has everything you need for a 2-night to a 2-week stay. There is an enclosed back porch/sun room that opens up onto the back-yard deck. The back-yard is fully enclosed with a privacy fence and is a perfect place for barbecuing. The upstairs loft of the house is a very spacious and unique space! There is a side room with a built-in desk and shelves that creates a perfect work station. In the main portion of the loft there is a full-size bed and two twin-sized beds. The living room couch is a brand-new sofa sleeper and comfortably fits two.

Free Wi-Fi is included!

Everything you need is within walking or biking distance to the house, including a major grocery store. There is plenty of parking on premises and available parking throughout the town. We expect most guests to likely have a car, however if you prefer to bike, we do have a few extra bikes available for guest use in the garage; there are also several bicycle shops nearby where you can rent additional bikes and accessories.

Guests will have access to the entire house and yard, including the garage. We ask that guests do not access the basement beneath the mudroom, and guests will not have access to the storage shed located in the backyard.

We encourage guests to come and go as they please. We will provide contact phone numbers and VRBO messaging will be available if guests have questions or concerns. We will typically not be present for guest arrival or check-out; access to the house will be via a lockbox located on the front door (lockbox information provided upon booking).

Salida is a beautiful mountain town in the heart of the Rocky Mountains with countless things to do during any season! The downtown proudly supports local shops, restaurants, micro-breweries, and there are festivals throughout the year! In the summer there are countless trails to bike or hike, there is gold-medal fishing in the Arkansas River along with exciting river sports such as rafting and kayaking, a beautiful golf course, and even nearby places to zip-line! In the winter there is easy access (30 minutes) to Monarch Mountain for skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. Our neighborhood specifically is rich in history with historic homes, buildings, and monuments for all of the history buffs out there too!

Great stay in Salida.
Our family had a great visit to Salida. This house easily accommodates a large family and is in a terrific location. So many thoughtful touches made us feel taken care of (examples: lotion in the bathrooms, hot cocoa packets, plenty of towels, useful kitchen tools, bikes available). Thanks!

Fantastic Stay
Beautiful home, yard for the kiddos, and the bicycles that were available were a huge bonus as we rode as family every day! Great property, look forward to staying again.

Great House and Location
This was our first visit to Salida and we picked the perfect house and location for our family of 4. It's located in a quiet but central neighborhood, walking distance to all the downtown shops and restaurants. It's also convenient for taking day trips and great hiking all around. The house had a great layout, nice kitchen and dining area with a very comfortable living area. Everything was very clean and in order when we arrived. We really enjoyed relaxing on the front porch in the evenings. The bikes in the garage were an added bonus for a ride to the river area. And lastly the owner is super friendly with quick reply's to any questions we had. Looking forward to a return visit next summer.

Lovely house in a country setting
It was lovely and very comfortable for the most part. I had a problem entering and leaving the home because I walk with a cane and there are no hand railings available in the front or the back. My family helped me up and down the steps.
