Very nice rental in a great location. Everything was well stocked and as a Colorado Trail through hiker, I appreciated the bathtub and the laundry facilities. Would definitely stay here again.
Such a nice, clean place to stay. Location is excellent, communication with the owner is good. A great place to land after a 28 day road trip.We will be back!Thank you!
I literally love this cottage by the river! Salida is a home away from home and this little bungalow has become a favorite! It's always my first choice!!!!
We loved our stay and really enjoyed our time in Salida. The communication was great as were the on-site guidance and directions. The house was very comfortable and had everything that we needed!
This property located within easy walking distance to downtown and the river walk. We had everything we needed to cook many meals. Great layout in the home and the art on the walls is like sleeping in a gallery.
Kids enjoyed playing at the Riverside Park playground before and after meals. Quick and easy access to Monarch. We will be back next year for more fun and relaxation. Location and price of this place are unbeatable. Host is quick to respond to questions.
Great location for walking around town, quiet, well stocked kitchen and bath.

About the host
Hosted by Dvora Kanegis
Our family owns and runs this guest house as well as a house that sleeps 8 in Salida. We have lived in Salida for over 25 years enjoying the outdoors and our creative community. We are lovers of Argentine tango, so we built a dance studio here, and teach classes to build a tango dance community. Dvora is a well known artist. She paints in our new studio attached to the dance hall. You will see her work on the walls of your vacation home. Steve is a retired ski instructor. He enjoys Monarch Mountain Ski resort which is an easy 25 minutes away. Our grandkids love having a private ski instructor. Nicole and Harry own Riveting Experience Jewelry on 1st St downtown, where you can make your own jewelry or purchase theirs and drink wine and soft drinks. . It’s a great place for date night or family parties. We welcome you to Salida and hope you enjoy your stay, Dvora, Nicole, and Harry
Why they chose this property
We saw the potential in this 100 year old brick row house by the river. Renovating is like a three dimensional art project. It has been fun restoring the old wood moldings, keeping the charm, making it comfortable and beautiful.
We love it here so much and want to share it with our friends, family, visiting tango dancers, and you.
What makes this property unique
Salida has developed the trail system that begins 2 minutes from our door. You can wake early to hike or jump on your bike and head up 'S' Mountain'. The view of the valley is spectacular. Afterwords, walk to brunch by the river or sip coffee at one of our great coffee shops.
Salida is quite flat and delightful to see by bicycle. We have 2 very good adult mountain bikes for your use. They have quick release seats to adjust to your height.
There are several hot springs near Salida, and a hot springs pool in town They are perfect for after skiing or hiking. Mount Princeton Hot Springs and Salida Hot Springs Pool are great for kids as well as adults.
Riverside Park, which is just around the corner, has a playground, a climbing wall, amphitheater, and many summer events: live music, carnival, dancing, etc. The river is available for tubing, kayaking, swimming and rafting.
