Great location and nice house
We had a wonderful stay- I would give an overall 5 star rating except that Salida can get warm during summer, and there were only 2 fans in property (no AC). The house was extremely hot in the afternoons/evenings when outside temps were 90-94° (it would cool down dramatically overnight, but was hot until after bedtime). The host was very gracious, and ordered 2 more fans to be delivered via Amazon during our stay, which arrived on our next-to-last night. Our only other minor issues were running out of TP, and the entrance was difficult to find in the dark when we arrived. There was construction to an outbuilding at back of property. The keypad instructions were given, but not that we would need to enter through a gate, not what the gate code would be, nor which side of property to find gate (we arrived at night, so was tough to see with insufficient lighting in alley). Otherwise, this is an excellent property and is one of my favorite VRBO rentals thus far!! The bedrooms were spacious, beds & pillows comfortable, bathrooms clean, great kitchen (!!), lovely front stoop/back patio/bedroom balcony. We were within 3-5 min walk to the main shopping & eating area of Salida. Also within walking distance to trails, River activities, and hiking/running trail up the mountain with the big “S.” Love Salida, enjoyed this home very much, will definitely look to rent it again!
Enjoyed the property. The location was great. Beautiful staircase and wood floors . 3 different deck spaces.
We loved this house and the location was perfect. Very spacious for our large family. We really enjoyed reading about the history of the house and the family, and appreciated the beautiful design of this old house. The house is very well stocked with extra bedding, space heaters, lots of kitchen supplies, towels, etc. We had everything we needed. It's a two minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants but it is not loud. About 25 min drive to monarch ski area. We had an awesome time. Thank you!!
We had a great stay!
Beautiful older house, well stocked and just a short walk to the older section of Salida.
Charming, spacious and super clean. We were four friends gathering to relax together, play a bit of bridge and enjoy some good meals. Sharon the host was easy to work and the home is every bit as charming as the photos. Great location, a short walk to restaurants.
As long-time VRBOers, this very special house has got to be one of our all-time favorites. We felt completely at home, welcomed, and comfortable here; every need was provided for, the house was well-stocked with every conceivable amenity, and the location was a perfect home base for our Salida vacation. We definitely hope to return--thank you so much for sharing this wonderful family home with us!
This was an extremely charming, Historic and comfortable place with all of the amenities one would expect and more. The kitchen was especially well appointed, with absolutely everything one would need. The location was suburb and within easy walking distance of the historic downtown and riverwalk. Would definitely stay here again
Absolutely love this property! Spacious and well-appointed, it has everything you need. Park your car because you won’t need it-everything is within walking distance. Sharon is a joy to work with!!
This was such a great place to stay. The location couldn't be better and the unit is beautiful and full of interesting history. The outside patio is lovely, same with the 2 balconies and the front porch. I'd definitely stay here again!
This was my second time staying at this lovely historic home. I've done both winter and summer and they're both wonderful times to visit Salida. The home has everything you could need: stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, recreation toys, and incredibly proximity to downtown shops and restaurants. Thank you!
Excellent, well-managed property in ideal location only a short walk from Salida's vibrant downtown.
The Swallow’s Nest was perfect for our family. What a lovingly maintained piece of Salida history. Well equipped kitchen and lots of extras throughout the house. All the stars!
