Map & Owner's Profile
On the Arkansas River in Downtown Salida!
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Salida
As we said earlier, we wanted a place to get away to that was within a reasonable distance from our home in Manitou Springs. We fell in love with Salida and were fortunate enough to find one of the very few available homes on the river. We just couldn't pass it up!
The Unique Benefits at this House
The house and neighborhood are surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to downtown. All the traffic turns before they come down Sackett unless they live on that street, which is only 3 blocks long. We have the Arkansas River in our backyard, and all the downtown shops and restaurants are a short walk away (one block). We are 20 minutes from Monarch and less than a mile from the Salida Golf Course. There are no limits to the things you can do in and around Salida and we think that we were more than lucky to have found a house in this particular location. We love it there.
Owner's Map of Salida
We live in Mantiou Springs and work in education. Although we love Manitou, we also love being able to get away to Salida for nice relaxing weekends when we are able to.

House on Sackett

Date of Stay: 10/20/11
Review Submitted: 11/07/11
Had a wonderful time in Salida,the house was very comfortable, there was some street construction going on in front of the house, but it wasn't really an inconvience, the contractors fixed our driveway so that we wouldn't have to park on the street.. This was a hunting trip, we weren't lucky this trip but will be coming back to try again next year. We seen alot of deer, more in front of the house and around town than anywhere else, but this is hunting. The owners of the house are wonderful people to deal with, I wish that we had been able to have met them, we did speak on the phone several times. As soon as we plan the trip next year and get our vacation dates figured out, I'm sure we will try and rent this property again.

I recently stayed here at Rio Perdido with my daughter, daughter-in-law and three pre-school grandchildren. The location is fantastic. You can easily walk to town and enjoy shoppping or dining. The kids really enjoyed the hot springs pool, the fish hatchery, and all the wonderful playgrounds in town. After a day of being tourists it was so delightful to come home to the house on Sackett St. This is an ideal base for all activities in Salida.

Down Home Comfort In Salida

We chose this property because of its walk-ability to downtown Salida, the whitewater kayaking course, and great Internet connection (we could easily use Skype for work). In our opinion, the house is quite comfortable for work and pleasure. We do month-long adventures that include work and play while we're away from our mountain home in the Smokies; so this house is perfect for that. This Salida house is perfect for just about any family, group or work venture. Thumbs up all the way and thanks for everything. If you do plan to visit, we suggest bringing your rollerblades (there's a cool bike path within 100 yards), your rock climbing shoes (we forgot and there's a cool bouldering section in the park about 10 minutes from the house) and mosquito spray (we are by a river after all). Plus, the owners are so great -- they get back to you quickly and efficiently, answering all your questions either by phone or email. Of all the VRBO places we've rented around the world, we'd highly recommend this as a must-stay - even if you're not looking at Salida. (It's that comfortable.)
