Fabulous location, right on the river. Holly provided everything we could need and was always really quick.to reply. We are from the UK and were originally booked to come when COVID hit . Holly refunded all our money, so I'm glad we were able to come at last. The property is very characterful and really well presented. Highly recommended.

Perfect location! The home had a well equipped kitchen although we only used the toaster. Why cook when you are so close to restaurants? I appreciated having plenty of bath towels and beach towels. When we arrived the house was nice and cool. Check in and out was super easy. I would rent again if in the area.

This home was absolutely perfect for our recent stay in Salida for a family wedding. We loved the close proximity to downtown businesses, restaurants and parks. We walked everywhere. The home itself is cozy and comfortable. Our favorite feature was the private area on the river. We spent hours there fishing (Walmart is a quick drive for a short term fishing license) and sitting in the fire pit area. The views were gorgeous. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Salida. I highly recommend this home!
