We had a great visit in Salida, it felt like a home away from home. This house is very spacious and lovely. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is large and easy to use. We were able to cook some meals and also go out to eat. It was very nice that the owner allows dogs, so we were able to bring our dog who enjoyed the nice sidewalks for walking and the fenced in back yard. Lots of nice shops and restaurants to walk to. Only about 30 minutes to drive Monarch mountain for skiing.

About the host

Hosted by Kristi

Host profile image
I'm Kristi. My family and I moved to Salida from he East Coast and we're not looking back! There are so many things to do here in all seasons. Reach out to ask about places to visit and things to do during your stay. Let me know if you think the house is lacking anything and I'll be happy to consider adding it.

Why they chose this property

This is one of the few larger, 4 bedroom homes right near downtown. With 4 private bedrooms, 2 with en suites, everyone can join on the vacation. Walk or bike to downtown Salida, Riverside Park, Alpine Park, or the Riverwalk, which is just across the street!
