Super Salida sweet spot!

Overall, this place was great, good location and the dogs loved it. We had fun with the unique, older home and the extras, like the bikes and fire pit. When we come back for a Salida visit, we will consider staying here again!

AMAZING!!!

When I booked this property, the managing group was very accommodating. The house itself was amazing with tons of amenities, and it is located only a couple blacks from downtown Salida. If you have a chance to stay here, I highly suggest it.

Salida

The house in Salida was perfect for our trip. Great location, beautiful grounds. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very well stocked. Check in /check out instructions were very easy and clear. The house could use a bit better cleaning and this was noted to the owner with their assurance that it would be taken care of. We would stay again.

Great location, wonderful back yard

The property is a very nice little house, perfect for groups of 6-8, or 5 if no sleeping partners. The back yard is a great retreat, with plenty chairs, a nice patio family table, andboth a fire pit and a standard grill for outdoor cooking. Only thing to be careful if is that the house is older, so the stairs are fairly shallow and steep. As long as no one in your party has issues with stairs, I'd recommend this property and will look to stay there again on any future trips to Salida.

Sweet Spot

We only stayed a few nights while we skied at Monarch, but the home was nice and well located. The only issue we had was the coffee maker didn't work well. Other than that, everything was great.

Fishing trip

We were in Salida to fish the Arkansas. Unfortunately for us, the river flow had been increased substantially a couple of days earlier, making wading almost impossible. But we adapted and had a good time fishing. The house was perfect for us to bed down at night.

Quaint Getaway

Very clean, great location near F street but in a quiet neighborhood. It's a old home, very nicely renovated, but is drafty. We were glad for the space heaters provided. The listing says it sleeps 8, but we only counted room for 7 plus a crib. Beautiful outdoor living space in the back.

Change of location - no problem

Due to a frozen pipe we were immediately informed about 2 substitute locations. Both looked great and the one we chose was fantastic. Our Pinon rep was super helpful and so nice to work with. We would book through them again for sure!

Nice house close to everything

The house was as described. It is in a great location that allows you to walk anywhere downtown. It was cold so we did not use anything outside but that area looked like it would be great in the Spring. We had no problems. We would stay here again. My only suggestion which did not change the enjoyment of our stay is to move the check out to 11am. 10am is very early for any hotel or house.
