Great stay on the river!

This property is a great place to enjoy the river--great deck and water view. Very spacious condo with everything we needed. The property management company was also very helpful. We recommend the property and the management company.

Will return!

This was our second time. We love this condo. Their deck is awesome. Suggestions: It would be an upgrade if there was the possibility of another place to sleep. I had a cold and had to sleep separate from my wife for one night. The couch is not comfortable for sleeping. It’s kind of broken down. The coffee maker was unusable. After making one pot of terrible tasting coffee, we went to Walmart and got a coffee system of our own. It was not operator error; we brought our usual coffee and filters that we use at home with a similar machine. The coffee maker was really dirty and may be uncleanable.

Quick Off to Summer

We had a wonderful stay in this spacious, clean condo! We loved relaxing on the back deck overlooking the Arkansas River. Beautiful view! The condo was close to several hikes and an easy walk into downtown Salida to shop and eat at restaurants!

Several visits

After several visits we know we enjoy it. The price increase this year is steep. Not sure we’ll return. Couch cushions are worn out and lack proper back support. The sound bar for the TV in the living room has not worked for three (3) years. The kitchen knives and silverware need to be upgraded. We brought our own pillows for the bed this time and very thankful we did because they are much better than what’s on the bed. Otherwise, we obviously enjoy it enough to return over the years and bite the bullet on the price increase this year.

Ski week

We really enjoyed our stay at River Aerie. The location was great, set along the River and within walking distance of all the restaurants in the historic downtown area of Salida. The condo was well appointed and very comfortable. It was a bonus to have a garage to keep the car in. We certainly enjoyed our time skiing at Monarch Mountain and returning each afternoon to River Aerie to relax. We will be back!

Just so relaxing and peaceful.

This location is everything you need to be a hermit holed up by yourselves, mentally recharging your batteries or to walk the incredible river to all the food, drinks and entertainment you want! The Arkansas River is our go to in Salida and has been for 20 years. This condo is very comfortable and beautifully furnished with everything you need. Communication is outstanding. They go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy while also clarifying obvious responsibilities on our part as renters.

Perfect One Bedroom

Our stay was all PROS…no CONS. The location was wonderful, the patio and view were delightful and the condo was comfortable with a great roomy floor plan. Well stocked and decorated. We watched the world float by on the river and took quick walks into town to dine at restaurants, shop, grab coffee/ice cream and watch the river surfing. We had a most enjoyable stay.
