It is a lovely, spacious, quiet place next to the Arkansas River. The garage is an added benefit. The downtown area is a short walk from the condo. What a peaceful get-away! We would definitely return.
Great property, great view, very clean, easy to walk to downtown. Everything you would need for a lovely stay. Excellent communication from host. For awareness…the new AC works like a champ in the bedroom, but there is not AC in the rest of the place. I’m sure this is generally not an issue but our timing was bad relative to this year’s heat.
Had a great overnight stay. The patio is 5 stars. Garage parking a big plus! Loved my stay. And will be back soon!

Great to hear you enjoyed this property and the patio over the river - such a nice place to sit and relax! We'd love to host you in the future when you return to Salida!
Great townhouse / condo with cantilevered deck over the River. Easy, responsive check-in and check-out plus easy walk along River to center of town - 4 to 5 blocks
Highly recommend this unit. Very spacious, wonderful location on the river, and an easy walk to downtown. We will be staying here during our next stay in Salida.

Thanks Bonnie! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Nice place this is the second time we have stayed in this condo. Perfect location as you can walk to town and you're right on the river. Only suggestion is to have some drapes or blackout Shades and bedroom as it is very bright in the morning.
