The multi-level layout provides privacy across bedrooms and living spaces but does require using stairs.

Great location and access to Arkansas River fishing out back door, close proximity to town, clean, excellent communication from owner. Decks were awesome for relaxing after hiking, fishing etc. Riverwalk and access to river/wave and park is perfect. This is the perfect rental for family trip and a variety of activities.

This is our second time in 5 month staying at this unit in Salida. Each time we've had two couples. The unit is divided with upstairs and downstairs bedrooms and baths, and each bedroom has a private deck overlooking the Arkansas river--so everyone gets spoiled! Easy 5 minute walk to F Street/shopping/restaurants either along First Street, or along the river. The unit garage has been converted into a pool room, which is super fun in the warmer months to just throw the door open and enjoy the evening. There is a second garage too across the parking lot for your car and bikes, and the unit comes with two townie bikes to pedal into town for dinner at Amica's or coffee at Brown Dog. The unit feels private, even though it is in the middle of the building (i.e. not an end unit) and you never/rarely hear anyone else. We'll be staying here again for sure. Karen is a lovely host!

The property was great! The host is very responsive and friendly. We enjoyed the views from 3 balconies of the beautiful Arkansas River. There are several scenic trails to walk/run/bike near the house, and the beautiful downtown is within walking distance. We only used our car a couple of times. We would absolutely stay again!

This became our new favorite place to stay in Salida! A five minute walk to downtown, this townhome is close to shopping, restaurants, hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking-all the fun things that Salida is famous for. The decks are perfect for enjoying that morning coffee and planning the day’s adventures. Everything about this home screams comfort and coziness.

Rio Vista is a lovely 3-story condominium with a deck on each level. It is a short walk to town and has a great view of the river. The entry is on the main level, which has a living area and kitchen. There is no powder room on this level, so you must go up or downstairs to use a bathroom. If this is not an issue, this unit is perfect for a group who’d like 3 private bedrooms with their own bath. The queen-bedroom faces the street, but the other two have decks and views of the river. The decor, cleanliness and linens are top-notch. The game room in the attached garage was really fun. There is plenty of parking on the street, so we never used the other garage.

We all had the best time & were so comfortable in your beautiful riverside condo. We fished along the river walk, skied twice at Monarch, walked the quaint town of Salida, & enjoyed the hot springs. Best of all was sitting out on the decks & listening to the river. The condo had everything we needed, was professionally cleaned, and the beds were very comfortable. The decor & art work throughout is outstanding. The bonus of a pool table was fun too! Karen is an excellent communicator & made our trip perfect. We will be back again!

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!

This was the perfect getaway for a weekend in salida, the worst part was having to choose which of the three beautiful decks to sit on each day! Super nice house with all amenities. Location is great with an easy walk downtown and it’s right next to a river path we used daily. We knew people at a lot of the other rentals in town and this is by far the standout property in the area.

The wife and I spent 3 weeks in August of '25 in this beautiful condo on the river in Salida. Just a few blocks from the main business district, close to all the bars and restaurants. We also had some friends and family stay with us while there. The place was very clean. It was all as described. The owner was very responsive to any concerns (virtually none). I caught fish right in front of the condo. Saw several others do the same. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

Easy 5 minute walk to F Street/shopping/restaurants either along First Street, or along the river. The unit garage has been converted into a pool room, which is super fun in the warmer months to just throw the door open and enjoy the evening. There is a second garage too across the parking lot for your car and bikes, and the unit comes with two townie bikes to pedal into town for dinner at Amica's or coffee at Brown Dog. The unit feels private, even though it is in the middle of the building (i.e. not an end unit) and you never/rarely hear anyone else. We'll be staying here again for sure. Karen is a lovely host!

Pool table room big bonus for kids/teens. Right on the river, which was beautiful and walking distance to everything. We have owned a home in Salida and have stayed in several rentals-this is one of the best for sure!

Our adult family gathered from nearby states to relax and spend some time together for a long weekend. Salida is a favorite mountain town for us. The condo was spacious, very well equipped and relaxing. 2 BRs each w/baths on the upper floor, living area on the entry level floor between, and 1 BR w/bath on the river level floor (so all need to be able to walk stairs.) Good communication with host. Not lacking one thing. We hope to be back some day.

Our adult family gathered from nearby states to relax and spend some time together for a long weekend. Salida is a favorite mountain town for us. The condo was spacious, very well equipped and relaxing. 2 BRs each w/baths on the upper floor, living area on the entry level floor between, and 1 BR w/bath on the river level floor (so all need to be able to walk stairs.)

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!

Great location and access to Arkansas River fishing out back door, close proximity to town, clean, excellent communication from owner. Decks were awesome for relaxing after hiking, fishing etc. Riverwalk and access to river/wave and park is perfect. This is the perfect rental for family trip and a variety of activities.

The wife and I spent 3 weeks in August of '25 in this beautiful condo on the river in Salida. Just a few blocks from the main business district, close to all the bars and restaurants. We also had some friends and family stay with us while there. The place was very clean. It was all as described. The owner was very responsive to any concerns (virtually none). I caught fish right in front of the condo. Saw several others do the same. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

The property was great! The host is very responsive and friendly. We enjoyed the views from 3 balconies of the beautiful Arkansas River. There are several scenic trails to walk/run/bike near the house, and the beautiful downtown is within walking distance. We only used our car a couple of times. We would absolutely stay again!

This became our new favorite place to stay in Salida! A five minute walk to downtown, this townhome is close to shopping, restaurants, hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking-all the fun things that Salida is famous for. The decks are perfect for enjoying that morning coffee and planning the day’s adventures. Everything about this home screams comfort and coziness.

Rio Vista is a lovely 3-story condominium with a deck on each level. It is a short walk to town and has a great view of the river. The entry is on the main level, which has a living area and kitchen. There is no powder room on this level, so you must go up or downstairs to use a bathroom. If this is not an issue, this unit is perfect for a group who’d like 3 private bedrooms with their own bath. The queen-bedroom faces the street, but the other two have decks and views of the river. The decor, cleanliness and linens are top-notch. The game room in the attached garage was really fun. There is plenty of parking on the street, so we never used the other garage.

This was the perfect getaway for a weekend in salida, the worst part was having to choose which of the three beautiful decks to sit on each day! Super nice house with all amenities. Location is great with an easy walk downtown and it’s right next to a river path we used daily. We knew people at a lot of the other rentals in town and this is by far the standout property in the area.

This condo was perfectly located just outside of town (easy, short walk to DT) right on the Arkansas River. It was beautifully appointed and we would highly recommend it!

We had an excellent stay at this riverfront townhouse in Salida. The location really stands out because it is just a short walk to F Street, where you’ll find great restaurants, local shops, and art galleries. It made it easy to get around without needing to drive, while still feeling tucked away in a quieter, scenic spot along the Arkansas River.The townhouse itself was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully set up for an active getaway. The three decks overlooking the river and Tenderfoot Hill were a highlight because they were perfect for relaxing after a day outside. We also appreciated the garage space for storing bikes, along with the easy access to nearby trail systems. Whether you’re into mountain biking, hiking, or just exploring the area, this place makes an ideal base camp.Overall, it’s a great combination of convenience, comfort, and access to everything Salida has to offer. We will absolutely stay here again.

The place is just as described. Very close to town but in a nice quiet area of town. Right on the river which was great for the sounds as well as fishing. Beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of space. Loved the pool table room.
