This clean, well stocked, open floor plan condo is situated perfectly; next to and above the Arkansas River and within a short walk into downtown Salida. We parked in the garage Tuesday afternoon and did not get back in the car until departing Friday morning. Even the Salida mountain trail network was within an easy reach on foot.The property management associate assigned to us was polite, professional, and super responsive. We would come back to this property again in a heartbeat.
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
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.
