Historic mountain view home just two blocks from downtown Salida and the river..
Plan your escape to the Centennial State and book your stay at this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Salida home, which sleeps 4 comfortably! Offering cozy accommodations, terrific amenities and an unbeatable location in the Rocky Mountains, this property ensures the Colorado escape you have been looking for.
UNBEATABLE LOCATION We are peacefully located just two blocks from the heart of the downtown Salida. This is the ideal location for exploring Colorado’s largest historic district. Take a stroll downtown to check out various art galleries, breweries, restaurants, shopping district and summer festivals.
An endless list of outdoor activities are within arm’s reach of this property! In the winter, you will be within 20 miles of Monarch Mountain for prime skiing and snowboarding. During the summer and winter, explore a variety of hiking, running and mountain biking trails, accessible within three blocks.
Summer months offer adventurous opportunities. For a fun afternoon, grab a cold one at a local brewery and catch some live music at Riverside Park. The river walk is just one block away where you can enjoy swimming, and inner tubing. For a bigger river adventure, join an outfitter for a rafting trip through the scenic Royal Gorge or Brown’s Canyon.
To cap off memorable days, dine at tasty local eateries, like Amicas and the famous Boathouse Cantina on the river - both within walking distance.
We constantly update our property to make things more comfortable for our guests. Upon entry of this historic home, you will immediately notice the authentic 1890’s hardwood floors and abundant windows, allowing natural light to flow through the interior.
Look forward to unwinding in the open, well-lit living room, where you can kick up your feet, sink into the comfortable sofa, and watch TV on the flat-screen television where you can stream your favorites from Disney, Netflix, and Hulu.
When the weather is nice, relax on the front porch while gazing at the Sangre De Cristo and Saguache Ranges, including the 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks. Or on the private back patio.
Back inside, the well-equipped kitchen has all the essential cooking tools, so you can whip up tasty meals and snacks throughout your stay. These home-cooked meals can be enjoyed in the adjacent dining area or out on the back patio, featuring a covered outdoor table, bbq grill and a small flower garden.
THE ONLY BATHROOM This full en-suite bathroom is located in the second bedroom and is shared with the guests staying in the master. We get it; this is potentially an awkward location for the only bathroom. Our guests comment that the house is Comfortable, Cozy, and Clean. We feel these far outweigh the Character of the bathroom location.

Very convenient location just couple blocks from town center, yet quiet neighborhood. Very comfortable free standing cottage. My Sister and I really enjoyed our stay. Renee is a great hostess!
A wonderful stay in beautiful Salsa! Rene is a top notch host. Very responsive and easy to communicate with. Location is central to everything we needed. Home is super clean and as advertised… the beds are VERY comfortable.Will definitely stay here again when visiting Salida. Thank you, Rene!
The house is cute and clean. Very convenient walk to the main downtown/river access. The property was accurately discribed in the listing. Manager is very accommodating without intruding. We enjoyed our short stay very much!
A cute original mining home updated and conveniently located 2 blks from downtown Salida. It was our base for a two-week stay and the host(ess) answered any requests promptly. We walked from the house to shop, eat, drink and hike nearby trails along the river. The owners live next door and both properties are well kept.
Perfect spot for us during our recent visit to Salida. Close to “ downtown” Salida, Sweetie’s and The Biker & the Baker, multiple walks & trails. Well-equipped kitchen, outside patio & bar-b-q. One item to note: the one bathroom is only accessible thru one of the bedrooms. Just make sure layout works for your travel configuration. Love the place-we’ll be bacj!
Clean and well-equipped. Easy keypad entry. Full kitchen plus a very nice Weber gas grill that worked the 1st time. Short walk to downtown shops and easy access to Hwy 50 for fishing or sightseeing. Fenced in back patio, but our favorite was the front porch, where we had afternoon tea and cookies, and later--a glass of wine before dinner. It worked out great for us.
Great location, complete kitchen, everything you would need to cook. Host available and responsive. Comfortable bed, high quality linens, plenty of shampoo, soaps, ect
The house was fantastic and an super close walk to the town and grocery store. Loved the back patio. Rene was very helpful during our stay. Would definitely book again.
This home is in a very nice location just blocks away from downtown Salida. The house was very clean and very comfortable. There was great communication with the host throughout our stay. We would definitely stay at this property in the future.
The home was perfect for the two of us. We were able to easily walk to restaurants, the river and parks, grocery store; etc. it was super clean and unlike many rentals, we were provided with some basic kitchen supplies, bathroom supplies; etc. it was bright and airy.
We really enjoyed our stay for the Salida Fiber Festival. The property was clean and cozy. It was a perfect distance from downtown for walking. Salida is a really cute town. Definitely would come back and book this place!
We really enjoyed our 7-day stay. Everything is to the 9's. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a washer and dryer. All instructions and information are well organized.I would highly recommend this house for a vacation.
House was built probably late 1800's and recently remodeled. It was nice. As stated in the description only one bath and it is accessible through one of the bedrooms. Not a problem for us. Enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Owners are next door and will take care of any problems.
