We had a wonderful stay. The house was lovely, clean, well appointed and a perfect base for our activities in the area. The kids had a great time in the river and the fishing was far better than we expected. If we come back to Salida we hope to make this our home away from home once more.

Everything was great with exception of drinkable well water. We had 8 adults so bring 8 gallons of water and alls is good.Also. a queen and single bed in the one room would be ideal vs the 2 single bed. Best, Scott

The house is great -- spacious well-stocked kitchen with a dining table large enough to seat our group of six. The layout of the bedrooms was great as everyone had privacy and close access to a bathroom. Between the living room and the loft area, there was plenty of comfortable seating for reading or watching a movie. The deck had a great view and furniture - plenty of room for outside dining. It was also nice that there was off-street parking space large enough to accommodate our three vehicles. The only disappointment was the lack of access to the river. Although it looked great in the photos, the high water level due to the runoff eliminated that access entirely. For us that was a real letdown since that was the primary reason we selected this property. By the end of June, the water level will likely be lower and fishing from the property will be possible.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is spacious and comfortable. The view from the deck and the living room is gorgeous. We spent a lot of time on the deck, nice table and chairs, as well as additional chairs for lounging. Access to the river is somewhat difficult getting down the steps, for seniors and a toddler. Beautiful none the less.
