My family and I had a great tme at this beautiful condo. It was located close to the downtown area, within easy walking or biking to the shops and restaurants in Salida. The condo is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Very spacious for a 1 bedroom place. We woulld highly recommend staying in this unit or others in the same building.

As wonderful as this condo looked on VRBO, it actually exceeded our expectations. As the other reviewers have mentioned, it is extremely well-maintained, comfortable, spacious, well furnished, and so much more. We highly recommend staying here. It was the perfect weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary!

Beautiful Condo!

My husband and I just returned from our trip to Salida and our stay at this beautiful condo on the Arkansas River. To say that the condo was everything I hoped for is an understatement. Everything about the stay was perfection. The furnishings were lovely, the view and sounds from the river were amazing, and the space in the condo generous and well laid out. Nothing, though, compares to the thoughtful touches that Maureen and Dave have placed all throughout the condo. It is obvious that much thought, love and planning has gone into making sure that their guests have a memorable, comfortable and relaxed vacation. We will definitely return to the Riverfront Condos!

Owner response:So happy to hear you were so comfortable, we look forward to seeing you again. Be sure and check the calendar, people are telling their family and friends about the best place to stay in Salida, so we are having to turn people away, book ahead :)

River Front Condo

Guest: Linda (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
Date of Stay: 06/08/11 Review Submitted: 08/01/11

Our daughter and son in law live in Salida and we visit frequently. We discovered Riverfront Condo's last New Year's Eve and stayed there during our visit. We returned with our grandson in June for another week at the condo. We feel like the condo is home away from home. Maureen and Dave have thought of everthing to make ones stay comfortable and memorable. Everything from the luxury linens to the fully appointed kitchen is appreciated. The views of the river ( and all its activities) make for a leisurely morning of coffee or a relaxing dinner using the gas grill. The condo is within biking and walking distance to everything Salida has to offer. We plan on making this our "home" everytime we visit Salida.

Owner response:Hey Linda, we loved watching Doug and your grandson watching the construction going on. Thank you again for staying with us and we look forward to seeing you again! You missed out for a August visit, we are booked the whole month but one night in both condos :) Rentals have kept me very busy this summer, I've had a lot of fun keeping up. Come back soon!

Great place & great people!

Guest: Loved every minute! (Castle Pines North)
Date of Stay: 05/27/11 Review Submitted: 06/01/11

We loved every minute of our stay! We were so thankful to get a last minute rental because someone had to cancel. We went with our 5 yr old twins and had an amazing time. Mareen and Dave are such nice people and they run a great business. He is an amazing builder and she is an amazing realtor/host. She gave us a lot of information about the town as well as a wonderful babysitter to use while we were there. The place was amazing as well. The beds were comfortable and my husband & boys said the cookies were great. I'm not sure if I will be able to stay off the river because waking up to that noise was nice. Thanks again!!

Owner response:Dave and I are so pleased you were happy with your stay. We love what we do for a living and especially living in Salida our paradise. We enjoyed hearing all the adventures you and the twins were up to each and everyday you were here. It is amazing how busy you can be with how many different things there is to do in Salida. Come back again soon!

This unit is my idea of heaven. Right on the River!! It is beautifully, comfortably and thoughtfully furnished. Within walking distance of town (easy walk) but with everything you need to have a great week, weekend heck the rest of your life! It is like staying in a 5 star hotel wherre your mom has gone ahead of you and made sure there are the little touches that will make you comfortable and at home are there. Of course I highly recommend it and hope to get back very soon.

Owner response:We love to see it when our "guests" have a huge smile on their face after walking to town to browse the stores. Seeing you toting your "buy local" bags after a shopping trip makes us happy that you are buying local! We look forward to seeing you on your next trip. Dave and Maureen

The Best in Salida

Guest: diva (Dallas)
Date of Stay: 02/23/11 Review Submitted: 04/28/11

We stayed for 10 days. The minute we walked in we felt immediately at home. It was furnished with everything that we have at home. The heated shower floor was a plus. There was lots of storage and closet space, the bed was extremely comfortable. The two bacolnies, front and back, were a real treat, great for morning coffee and the evening cocktail. Next time we ski at Monarch, we will definitely book this place. As an aside, the owners are great, and their dog is the best. Our thanks to them for providing a great escape. P.S. the fridge and cupboard is filled with enough that you don't have to go shopping when you arrive -- a great bonus.

Owner response:Dave and Linda, We knew you were having a relaxed time at the condo seeing you sitting in the sun on the front deck. So glad you are coming back, look forward to your return visit. When you return for a second time, we give a "special" surprise when you check in as a way to thank you! Dave and Maureen

These Condos ROCK!

Hi Maureen. We're back in sunny San Diego. Even though we're happy to be home (& sleeping in our own beds), we wanted to thank you again. We had a great trip & made lots of great memories! These River Front Condos absolutely ROCK! As a 23yr Real Estate professional, I can truly appreciate how well these condo were built. The condo was beautiful, clean & was close to everything. We will be back for sure!... Thanks again for personally making our time in town (& on the slopes) so nice. I give Salida River Front Condos & your hospitality a double thumbs-up!

Owner response:HI, thanks so much for the response to our vrbo. We are so pleased you and your family had a great time. Monarch just received 40" of fresh powder over the weekend! Please share our vrbo with family and friends. Look forward to seeing you in Salida soon! If you can make it in the summer, it is awesome here.

Great owner, great location, great condo!

Date of Stay: 02/13/11 Review Submitted: 05/04/11

We've stayed in Salida before but never in a place this nice, the condo is right on the river just south of downtown. It's the perfect location because it's a little quieter than in downtown, because you want to hear the river out your windows not cars. I think the condo is less than a year old everything is top quality and in great shape and the place still smells new! The owner goes out of her way to make you feel welcome with a well stocked frige and homemade cookies waiting for you when you arrive. I would highly reccommend this condo as the place to stay when you visit Salida.

Owner response:Hi, I always love to see the expressions on my guests face when I open the front door and welcome them into the condo. It is always nice to hear the positive response. We want all of guests to go home and think about how nice their trip to Salida was. Dave and I were thrilled to hear back from you with this review. As always, thank you for being our guests. We hope to see you again soon. Keep in mind, for returning guests, when you arrive again, you will receive a special gift from Dave and I.

Amazing Stay

Guest: Mary (Beverly Hills)
Date of Stay: 02/13/11 Review Submitted: 02/26/11

This place is amazing! Amazingly beautiful, sparkling clean, luxurious (and I am a major hotel snob) HUGE, and so well appointed it was better than being at home. Dave and Maureen have thought of absolutely everything. We loved the massive steam shower, major kitchen, impossibly large deck, huge bedroom, super comfy bed and, of course, the beautiful flowing river right outside our door. Salida is so charming and warm, just like the owners and this lovely home. A must stay, especially for the price!

Owner response:So happy you were pleased with your stay! We enjoyed meeting you and hope you come back soon. Summer is very special in our hidden paradise. Rafting and flyfishing right out your door. Come again soon, and be sure to tell your family and friends to come to Salida for a fantastic stay.

Salida Luxury

Guest: Freddie and Mary (Carbondale, Colorado)
Date of Stay: 08/19/10 Review Submitted: 08/25/10

If you are looking for comfort, class, and views you will find it at this condo. We just spent three nights at this Salida River Front Condo and we can honestly say after many visits to Salida that Maureen and Dave's condo was by far the most luxurious accomodation in Salida as well as in Colorado. The kitchen has everything you can imagine plus more and the master suite is so spacious with amazing furnishings. The historic downtown is two blocks away where you can find many awesome restaurants, galleries, coffee houses, and stores for all. Upon arrival there were even fresh cookies on our counter. One last comment, this condo is the cleanest accomodation we've ever had!

Beautiful luxury condominium with exquisite designer touches. The photos did not do the place justice! How often do you read that? We definitely will book in advance for next year. Proximity to town a huge bonus as you can walk anywhere. The large deck is awesome over the river. I literally cannot say enough good things about it, except to add that Maureen the owner is a joy and a pleasure to deal with as well.
