About this property

River Retreat & Decked Out - Walk to town - 3BD

Relax and have fun right on the river. Enjoy yourselves on one of the three balconies and let the Arkansas River lull you to sleep. Just blocks to historic downtown with charming restaurants and boutique shopping. Spacious 1800 sq feet of living space with 3 bed/3 full baths with 2 master suites. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Enjoy some downtime playing a game of pool in the swanky game room or take a ride into town on our cruiser bikes. (6 max guests, 25 y/o to book).

RIO VISTA is situated on the banks of the Arkansas River just 3 blocks from historic downtown Salida. Whatever the season, there’s a ton to see and do in Salida. Skiing at Monarch (just 30 minutes away), tubing or paddle boarding down the river, soaking in the nearby hot springs, rafting, hiking, mountain biking, premier fishing, art, and music festivals and so much more. Salida is a dog-friendly, family-friendly (well, heck...we're just friendly) town and you'll feel like locals right out of the gate. STR License #0772

We manage the property so we're easy to get ahold of. Don't hesitate to contact us if you need us. We want your stay to be the best that it can be so we're a quick call or text away.

We want you to feel nice and relaxed while you're here so we provide a selection of TAZO teas, snacks for you and your pup, and Paul Mitchell Tea Tree hair products.

If you are planning on bringing your pooch, please let me know in advance. There is a flat $50 fee per dog and will send you the payment process. We LOVE dogs and want your friends to come with you but we do have a limit on how many and how big they can be. Please contact me in advance.

Perfect place

This was the perfect getaway for a weekend in salida, the worst part was having to choose which of the three beautiful decks to sit on each day! Super nice house with all amenities. Location is great with an easy walk downtown and it’s right next to a river path we used daily. We knew people at a lot of the other rentals in town and this is by far the standout property in the area.

Loved it...

Great location and access to Arkansas River fishing out back door, close proximity to town, clean, excellent communication from owner. Decks were awesome for relaxing after hiking, fishing etc. Riverwalk and access to river/wave and park is perfect. This is the perfect rental for family trip and a variety of activities.

Book this property NOW!

We could not have been happier with our stay. This well appointed townhome is well maintained, immaculate, in a perfect location on the river and close to town and the owner is delightfully helpful and quick to respond to any inquiry or need. It is, by far, one of the best properties in which we have vacationed.

Our new favorite!

This became our new favorite place to stay in Salida! A five minute walk to downtown, this townhome is close to shopping, restaurants, hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking-all the fun things that Salida is famous for. The decks are perfect for enjoying that morning coffee and planning the day’s adventures. Everything about this home screams comfort and coziness.

Wonderful stay!

From initial contact with Karen who answered all our questions in a timely manner to arriving to the beautiful townhouse overlooking the river, this was a great place. Each morning we would have our coffee on the balcony and evenings a glass of wine…so pretty! The location is wonderful…easy walk to shops and restaurants! Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic stay in Salida

My family and I really enjoyed this property. It was well appointed, clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with cooking supplies. The best part was the condo's location. It is right on the river and a short drive to Monarch Mountain. I highly recommend staying here!

Luxury Living and a Great Place to Relax

Our adult family gathered from nearby states to relax and spend some time together for a long weekend. Salida is a favorite mountain town for us. The condo was spacious, very well equipped and relaxing. 2 BRs each w/baths on the upper floor, living area on the entry level floor between, and 1 BR w/bath on the river level floor (so all need to be able to walk stairs.) Good communication with host. Not lacking one thing. We hope to be back some day.

Gorgeous patios and view of the river

My husband and two young kids absolutely loved this property. Very comfortable, clean, stylish and super close to the main street area. The patios overlooking the river was definitely the highlight for us- we enjoyed dining outside with the view, drinking a glass of wine in the evenings taking it all in and quiet coffee in the morning. Can't wait to stay again!

New Years Get Away

The property was great! The host is very responsive and friendly. We enjoyed the views from 3 balconies of the beautiful Arkansas River. There are several scenic trails to walk/run/bike near the house, and the beautiful downtown is within walking distance. We only used our car a couple of times. We would absolutely stay again!

You won't regret it!

This is a great place to stay. We lived in Salida previously and loved it so much we had to go back and visit. Staying on the river is a must! It really does relax you into sleep. The property is fantastic and the property owner is amazing. Well equipped, comfortable, everything you could ask for. You won't regret staying here.
