May not be able to find a better location within Salida. River & Wildlife in the back yard and an easy walk of just a few minutes into town. Sleeping situation left a little to be desired, and be careful of the TV remote if in the front bedroom as it will also turn on the TV in the living room.

House is walking distance to downtown Salida. Very convenient to walk to shops and restaurants. It’s larger than it looks with nice and updated amenities. Beautiful view of the river. The bedroom I stayed in with my husband has a bed next to wall. I prefer beds where you can exit on both sides and larger bedrooms. Other than that there was room in living rooms and dining room. Great for a larger crowd which we had.
