About this property
Vista Grande: Enormous, luxurious home overlooking Salida and the Arkansas River Valley. Epic views and decks on all sides of the home.
Just 1 mile from the town center, you can enjoy hilltop serenity and hot tub soaking (late September and after), yet have easy access to shops, restaurants, galleries and hundreds of miles of world-class hiking and biking trails. Hot tub with amazing views of the valley! The home comes with 3 large bedrooms, 3 separate living areas, gourmet kitchen, decks, beautifully landscaped garden courtyard, and breathtaking views! If you'd like to add use of the hot tub, let us know that upon booking.
Jess is just around the corner and never more than a text or message away. We'll keep a close eye on the comings and goings in the house to make sure the property remains in excellent shape, but we'll also respect your privacy and will stay out of your way unless you need something.
This is a quiet neighborhood. Please drive slowly through it, and respect our quiet hours, from 9PM to 7AM. Please keep outdoor conversations in the evenings to a respectfully appropriate volume level, understanding that voices carry surprisingly well out here in the hills.
You get this entire, breath-taking place all to yourselves! We keep two bedrooms and one garage locked off for owner's private use, but those spaces will be unoccupied during your stay. An oversized, two-car garage is at your disposal for parking cars and outdoor gear in. Thanks in advance for not bringing bikes or skis of any kind into the house, but availing yourselves of the ample, locked garage-space available. The home boasts multiple decks and a gorgeous courtyard so you have ample choices of where to sit outside and enjoy the views and the amazing weather. There is a gas grill available for your use as well. Please note that the main house includes 3 bedrooms (king master, 1 queen, 1 double bed, plus a pull-out couch in the ground-level living area). This can only accommodate up to 8 guests at a maximum. This spacious home has several separate living areas, including 2 main-level living rooms, one ground-floor living room with ping pong table, a gorgeous courtyard and 2 large patio/deck spaces. Unless you request otherwise in advance of your stay, the heat will be set at 72 degrees in the winter. With in-floor radiant heat, it takes hours for the temperature to go up or down, and the setting is locked at this selected temperature. We find it to be the most comfortable for the most folks, but if you have a different preference, please let us know a few days in advance of your stay, and we'll adjust the heat accordingly prior to your arrival.
We have upgraded our wifi service to the best available in the area: DOWNLOAD SPEED: 15 MGB/Sec UPLOAD SPEED; 3 MGB/Sec Can simultaneously stream “at least” 2 devices. Want to stay in and cook? You’ll enjoy the well-equipped kitchen. Or order curbside pick-up or delivery from one of Salida's many nearby restaurants.
You can bike into town quite easily, and if you're stout enough, you can bike back up to the house. Or if you want a lift, give the local taxi a call--they have bike racks! Chaffee County STR license #22892

Amazing
This house was more than advertised. The pictures don’t do the view justice, but my pictures don’t either. The home was so lovely, clean, and we couldn’t have had a better time.

Genuine cabin feel
What an excellent house with fabulous view and close town proximity. Great for a big family or friends together . Superbly equipped for cooking and living. Beds for 8 is a bit of a stretch if you don remind having 2 -3 people sleeping in open space. However highly recommended when the toilets don't plug which unfortunately did happen.
The views from this house are amazing. The property itself is amazing. This place is wonderful for a group of adults.

Great views and quiet location!
This location was perfect to catch early morning glow on the mountains and had spectacular sunsets. We have more than enough room for four adults and three kids with multiple living areas for some solitude. Nice well-equipped kitchen with more great views looking into town. No complaints here and would look into booking here again!
Beautiful views of the valley and mountain, comfortable couches and enough room for everyone.

Best place in Salida
The house is beautiful, with space for everyone to gather or have some down time apart, inside and out, with a wonderful large deck and peaceful courtyard. The kitchen was the best -equipped kitchen we've had in a rental, and all beds and furniture were very comfortable. The views are spectacular. This was a great vacation home!

Excellent in every way
Could not have been happier with the house. Views are amazing, distance to town is great, and making our way through town to get to Monarch was easy. Very pleased and would highly recommend.
We had a lovely stay ! House was comfortable and big, plenty of room for our family. Christmas tree was a beautiful, most welcomed touch. Thank you

We are sad to leave and we had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Your place was sheer perfection from the layout, th incredible views and sunsets from the wraparound porch and the peaceful courtyard. We would rent this place again!!
Why you ask? Ambiance galore. Views in all quadrants. Proximity to town is perfect. Perfect Hub for daily out and back trips. There are two very nice Mexican restaurants in Salada. Downtown Salida at the river is a pretty cool spot. Some people might call this house a Hacienda.

Great home in Salida
A wonderful home in Salida with breath taking 270 degree views of the mountains and the town of Salida. The kitchen is stock well with an abundance of cooking equipment and great views a truly beautiful space to cook in. The home has three living spaces making it easy to find a quite spot for yourself. This is the second time I have rented this home and plan to do it again in the future.

This place is wonderful. Location is excellent, only minutes from downtown yet in the county. Floor plan works great for extended family. We had the master suite while daughter and her family had the whole downstairs. Garage a big bonus with snow. Balcony or porch from every room. Panoramic views are amazing and even impressed local family who visited us. There is only one negative and that’s the mattress in the master. I have messaged the property manager so hopefully it will be replaced before other guests arrive. The property manager has been extremely responsive. I highly recommend this house. We will use again.
Excellent place for family or friend gatherings with lots of room to relax. Convenient to town and other attractions. Owner was great to work with and always available.

Breathtaking Views
We absolutely loved our stay at this home. It felt less like a vacation rental and more like staying in a friend’s home. The house was so warm, welcoming, and comfortable, with every amenity we could have needed.
