Spend your days rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking, or biking, and in winter, head just 25 minutes up the road to Monarch Mountain for skiing and snowboarding.

After a full day of exploring, unwind in your private hot tub under the stars, grill dinner in the courtyard, and relax with family and friends.

Location, Location, Location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Frontside Hacienda. We were initially concerned about the lack of air conditioning, but there were plenty of fans to keep us cool at night. The hosts have taken great care to make sure you have everything you need - from linens to paper goods - which is an added bonus.

Great location, great property manager, clean house

We loved our stay and you can't beat the location. House was clean and the property manager was very responsive. Only nitpicks with the house were there are only two fairly small parking spots, the kitchen is kind of awkward to use due to everything being cramped in the corner, and both bathrooms have VERY dim lighting. However, all in all it was a great place to stay.

Long Weekend in Salida

Recently stayed at the Frontside Hacienda with my wife, adult children and their significant others. We’ve stayed in Salida several times before and FH is the best place we’ve stayed. It is so convenient to everything Salida has to offer, especially the river. We loved the layout of the property, especially the open concept kitchen, and took full advantage of the hot tub. Kristan was very responsive to all communication and helped with a couple questions we had. I would definitely recommend this property and hope to return!

Lovely home in a great location

Great location very close to everything. Very walkable to lots of nice restaurants and pubs. The vic was a short walk and very fun. Felt very safe. The courtyard was very nice. grass back yard and with a lovely hot tub that was definitely a highlight of the place. The kitchen was lovely although we did not cook as we were there for just two nights. The livingroom nook was cute and cozy with a nice big TV. Never heard any noises from the duplex neighbours so that was nice. Lovely and convenient stay for skiing monarch.

We actually had to rent 2 homes but this was the favorite. Our stay brought so many together for a memorial and a wedding. Travelers from MN, NM, WY and CO. The home was great, the access to park, downtown and eating facilities was awesome as our group was 9 years old to 73 years old - hot tube to bikes. Convenient for shopping.. Totally consider this one again.
