About this property

River Retreat & Decked Out - Walk to town - 3BD

Relax and have fun right on the river. Enjoy yourselves on one of the three balconies and let the Arkansas River lull you to sleep. Just blocks to historic downtown with charming restaurants and boutique shopping. Spacious 1800 sq feet of living space with 3 bed/3 full baths with 2 master suites. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Enjoy some downtime playing a game of pool in the swanky game room or take a ride into town on our cruiser bikes. (6 max guests, 25 y/o to book).

RIO VISTA is situated on the banks of the Arkansas River just 3 blocks from historic downtown Salida. Whatever the season, there’s a ton to see and do in Salida. Skiing at Monarch (just 30 minutes away), tubing or paddle boarding down the river, soaking in the nearby hot springs, rafting, hiking, mountain biking, premier fishing, art, and music festivals and so much more. Salida is a dog-friendly, family-friendly (well, heck...we're just friendly) town and you'll feel like locals right out of the gate. STR License #0772

Awesome Stay

Karen was an amazing host! The house is beautifully decorated. The 3 private decks right on the river are amazing to watch the stars from. It’s perfect for family or a group of friends. The location can’t be beat. It’s less than a 10 minute walk from town. Can’t recommend it enough!

Great location and access to Arkansas River fishing out back door, close proximity to town, clean, excellent communication from owner. Decks were awesome for relaxing after hiking, fishing etc. Riverwalk and access to river/wave and park is perfect. This is the perfect rental for family trip and a variety of activities.

Our new favorite!

This became our new favorite place to stay in Salida! A five minute walk to downtown, this townhome is close to shopping, restaurants, hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking-all the fun things that Salida is famous for. The decks are perfect for enjoying that morning coffee and planning the day’s adventures. Everything about this home screams comfort and coziness.

This condo has the most accurate description I have EVER found of a listing on VRBO! It was very clean, comfortable beds, beautiful and in a great location. The owner and agents were very friendly and helpful with all our questions. Will definitely stay here as many times as it’s available when we head to Salida!

We could not have been happier with our stay. This well appointed townhome is well maintained, immaculate, in a perfect location on the river and close to town and the owner is delightfully helpful and quick to respond to any inquiry or need. It is, by far, one of the best properties in which we have vacationed.

Perfect place

This was the perfect getaway for a weekend in salida, the worst part was having to choose which of the three beautiful decks to sit on each day! Super nice house with all amenities. Location is great with an easy walk downtown and it’s right next to a river path we used daily. We knew people at a lot of the other rentals in town and this is by far the standout property in the area.

Wonderful stay!

From initial contact with Karen who answered all our questions in a timely manner to arriving to the beautiful townhouse overlooking the river, this was a great place. Each morning we would have our coffee on the balcony and evenings a glass of wine…so pretty! The location is wonderful…easy walk to shops and restaurants! Would definitely stay here again!

New Years Get Away

The property was great! The host is very responsive and friendly. We enjoyed the views from 3 balconies of the beautiful Arkansas River. There are several scenic trails to walk/run/bike near the house, and the beautiful downtown is within walking distance. We only used our car a couple of times. We would absolutely stay again!

One of the best places to stay in Salida!

Great experience overall. Had two adults and 3 teens with us. Plenty of space and so nice to have king bedrooms separated by kitchen/living space floor for privacy. Pool table room big bonus for kids/teens. Right on the river, which was beautiful and walking distance to everything. We have owned a home in Salida and have stayed in several rentals-this is one of the best for sure!

Amazing property

We went to Salida for a wedding this past weekend. We enjoyed staying right on the river. The views were amazing, the house was beautiful and clean, and we had everything we needed. Karen kept in touch with us and made sure we didn’t need anything. We were so impressed, and will definitely plan to go back again in the future. Such a great way to have a mini vacation. We were very comfortable and we didn’t want to leave! Thank you for such a great trip.

Luxury Living and a Great Place to Relax

Our adult family gathered from nearby states to relax and spend some time together for a long weekend. Salida is a favorite mountain town for us. The condo was spacious, very well equipped and relaxing. 2 BRs each w/baths on the upper floor, living area on the entry level floor between, and 1 BR w/bath on the river level floor (so all need to be able to walk stairs.) Good communication with host. Not lacking one thing. We hope to be back some day.

Outstanding

We stayed one month at this wonderful location. Karen was exceptional. She answered all of our questions and fulfilled all of our needs. The location was perfect. We could walk everywhere. The neighbors were great. It is a quite location, which was perfect. Sitting on any of the three river side balconies was a bonus. The pool table in the garage was FUN. We hope to return.
