PERFECT!

WHAT A GREAT PLACE!!!! We go to Salida often, and this was the first time for us in this home. My two grandsons and I loved this place. The furnishings were beautiful & the upgrades to make everything modern kept the historical style. PLENTY of room for everyone! Multiple TV's made it especially nice-the guys could use their video game consoles, and I got to watch sports! Check-in was a breeze-hosts and owners were especially accommodating to us. Great location-easy access to downtown. The many deer in the yard were an added bonus. We will stay there again if possible.

Misrepresented online!!! Filthy. Worn out.

Smoke detector went off first night and called property management; never responded. Carpet and floors were so filthy we had to wear shoes at all times. Stove and oven were filthy and smoked. Bathroom with shower was brown with dirt and hair. Never again.

Historical Home Enhanced Our Vacation Experience

I traveled to Salida, Co from the island of Kauai for a friend 's wedding. Other old friends joined me from Kauai and across the US. Being able to stay together in an awesome home rather than in separate hotel rooms was a blessing. And This home in particular, with its history, multiple living spaces and deer in the huge yard made for many great memories! We loved and made use of the console record player. The internet connection was strong and easy to access. The owners have wisely added a multi-plug charging station to make up for limited wall plugs. The beds were comfy and there were extra pillows and blankets for those of us who stayed up late listening to old vinyl in the basement. I love that quirky one-of-a-kind features were left un-updated in the home. And the renovations that have been done, do not detract from the 1940s original floor plan and architecture. I would have loved even more info and pictures in the information binder. If they could somehow turn the meat locker in the basement into a bathroom, maybe keeping the same freezer door? And turn the document safe into a place to display historical info about the home and Salida? That would be amazing! The home is really part house/part rime capsule/part museum! Other than that, a hand-held shower wand in the master bath would have been useful to us four ladies trying to glam up for a wedding. None of us wanted to take a bath in a bathtub but it was a small price to pay for staying in this historic home. We also liked that we could easily walk into town. It takes about ten minutes to walk to Riverside Park in heart of Salida or to the weekly farmers market at Alpine Park. Mahalo (thank you) to the owners of this property for making it available on vrbo!

Over all, we really enjoyed our stay

The large yard was perfect for outdoor games and the Heister House was perfectly decorated with period decor appropriate for the era. So fun. Easy walk into town for restaurants, Riverside Park concerts and the Farmers Market!
