This BRAND NEW 2,000 square foot contemporary home with 3 BEDROOMS and 2.5 BATHS sleeps up to 10 people and sits in an amazing location – across the street from the beautiful Arkansas river and within a 10-minute walk to historic downtown Salida. World-class fishing and an amazing array of mountain bike & walking/running trails are accessible from the front door, and Monarch Mountain is a short 25-minute drive.
This bright and spacious home features an open floor plan with comfortable indoor and outdoor dining and lounging options. The many large windows look out over the town baseball fields and onto the celebrated “S Mountain” and surrounding hills. A short walk across the street leads to a number of incredible fishing holes, and a beautiful riverside walking path that heads to nearby Sands Lake or towards town.
The fully-stocked kitchen features a large island with bar stool seating for four, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of countertop and cabinet space. A black walnut dining table comfortably seats eight and adjoins the living room, which includes a cozy sectional couch, two comfy armchairs with ottomans, and a flat screen television. The first floor also includes a long window seat (a perfect nook for relaxing with a good book), several large coat/shoe closets, and a half bath.
The upstairs includes three spacious bedrooms with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills, two large bathrooms, an office space, and laundry room. The master bedroom includes a king-sized bed and en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the “bunk room” features a queen-over-queen bunk and a twin XL trundle. A toddler mattress and/or pack n play fits in the office space for additional sleeping. All bedrooms include big closets with lots of storage space. Additionally, the bunk room has a wall-mounted flat screen TV for getting cozy and watching movies in bed. The shared guest bathroom includes a shower with tub, and a “bonus” sink area that allows for additional use and privacy. The upstairs layout is perfect for families, families traveling together, multiple couples, or multi-generational family gatherings.
Heading outside, there are large decks at each end of the house, perfect for relaxing outside. The front deck, which features a porch swing (with an amazing view of "S" mountain), will soon include built-in benches and a dining table– a perfect spot for enjoying your morning coffee or afternoon happy hour! Large sliding patio doors open onto the back deck, which includes a seating area with couch, love seat, chairs, and coffee table.

We have stayed in this house several times. We always have the best time. We ski at Monarch mountain, walk to town along the river for dinners and just love Salida.
We would definitely stay at this house again. The location is great and it was perfect for my family. The property manager was easy to work with and all instructions were clear.
We stayed in this beautiful home for 3 nights with our adult children and their spouses. It was spacious, clean, modern, and across the street from the river. The kitchen was well stocked so it was a joy to cook dinners for the family. We will definitely be staying here again!
This house is clean, beautiful, and equipped with everything you need! It’s walking distance to downtown and also has plenty of outdoor and parking space. Highly recommend!
My family of four had the absolute best stay in this house. Lots of room for everyone. We really enjoyed the kitchen and the backyard grill. We also really liked having a garage to park our vehicle in at night. The location is perfect for getting on the hiking trails and walking to downtown to eat and shop. Really recommend this house.
This was our third time staying at the house! It continues to be a perfect setup for our family. The stand alone garage for bikes and gear, the decks with scenic views, the privacy of the location, inside the house is beautiful, and the turf grass field for our kids to play! So many great things about this house!
This property in Salida has a great location, nice space for a family both indoor and outdoor great location to Monarch Ski Resort. Everything is provided for you-they do a fantastic job of stocking bathroom needs, cleaning and washing needs, extra blankets, pillows. We had kids and very much enjoyed their games and toys. That is a a much needed perk when you are traveling and can’t bring toys along. I would definitely stay there again.
I just stayed for almost a week here with my in laws, two boys and husband and had a wonderful time. It's great location to downtown and we would walk or ride bikes there daily. We used ark anglers fishing guides for a fly fishing day and the house was perfect to come back to. My in laws were so obsessed they started looking at a ailable properties near by to buy! Thank you!
This property was very nice for our weekend trip to Salida. Clean, modern, and pretty close to downtown. I would have preferred a place closer to downtown as in the winter cold it was a bit too far to walk. But the beauty and the comfort of the home made up for this. We loved having game nights in the living room and we had a fun going away dinner at the table, which was convenient because all of the restaurants had 1 hours wait times due to ski traffic!
This place was bigger than I expected. It was perfect distance to bike downtown. The town bike was a hit. With the park next door it was a great chance to family games Thank you the Larsen’s
Modern, spacious, and clean near Arkansas River, paths, and parks
My family and I had a wonderful stay! The house is well-appointed, and all the amenities in town are just a short walk away. Every window had a mountain view, and the Canada geese and deer were outside. Skiing, biking, hiking, and hot springs... all within a 30-minute drive. Wow! We will be back!
We could not have been happier with our stay in Salida - we loved the town and this home was perfectly suited to us (as it would also be for families with young children!). It was super clean and we loved the well stocked kitchen - they have thought of everything! The home was full of light and gorgeous mountain views and we really enjoyed the deck and yard. We never got back in the car as everything was so easy to access in town via the road or river trail. Great excursions locally too (a family member drove outside Salida - loved the Leadville train ride!) Could not have been more perfect for us!
We loved the stay at this property. The home is a great size and very comfortable. There are plenty of towels, comfortable beds, great linens. The kitchen had what we needed to cook. Lots of outdoor spaces. It is a short walk to the river and nearby waking trail around a beautiful pond. We also walked in to town for shopping and restaurants. We had a toddler so the booster chair, port a crib, and baby gate was very much appreciated. The property does not have ac so it was a little warm in the late afternoon and evening before the sun went down. But it is summer, so it is expected. The mornings were nice and cool. Salida is a great town and we will be back for another get away.
