The rental property is as advertised, location to town can’t be beat, no air conditioning in warm weather is a challenge it would be nice if bedrooms had ceiling fans, house is clean and up to date, beautiful fenced yard is fantastic for those traveling with dogs, we did feel like the rental price was very high, but then perhaps it is the going rate for a place in town that allows dogs

This is a great rental if you are looking to enjoy the Arkansas River and the Creative District of Salida. It's a quick five minute walk to all the restaurants and bars in Salida, and it's right on the river (and the same five minutes to Riverfront park). The unit itself was perfectly appointed with everything that we needed, and the management company (Pinon) is exceptional in their communications and follow up before and during our stay. The unit is roomy and the fully fenced backyard is perfect if you are bringing your dog. I really enjoyed my stay here, and would recommend this place very highly.

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.
