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.

Karen was an amazing host! The house is beautifully decorated. The 3 private decks right on the river are amazing to watch the stars from. It’s perfect for family or a group of friends. The location can’t be beat. It’s less than a 10 minute walk from town. Can’t recommend it enough!

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!

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.
