Our favorite rental home

This was our second stay in this home and this home is one of the reasons we keep coming back to Salida. It meets our expectations of cleanliness and is very comfortable and we'll appointed.

Elk Ridge Home

Our family of 5 absolutely loved our stay at Elk Ridge! There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and the kids loved the ping pong table. It was close to both Salida and Buena Vista. I really enjoyed the large soaking tub in the master bath and spent alot of time on the back patio watching the hummingbirds and chipmunks.

Lovely home; dark skies at night

5 adults stayed here for a long weekend and we loved the house! Plenty of comfortable beds and bedrooms, nice big kitchen for group cooking, large dining table for means and games, and comfortable furniture in the icing room to seat us all. The sitting room off the master and several outdoor spaces gave us quiet places for reading and alone time. We also enjoyed doing astrophotography from the patio! We look forward to a full week here some time soon.

Just like home!

Spacious home with everything you need. We have never stayed in such a well-appointed VRBO home. Everything is provided for your comfort. Two lovely outdoor spaces with views of Mount Antero. Good quality linens, towels, etc. Nice dishes, flatware and cooking pans and utensils. Lots of extra “surprises” here and there. A very comfortable place to enjoy this beautiful area of Colorado. We used the big game room as the workroom for our crafting retreat. Great stay!

Amazing Place

We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful with gorgeous views! It was very clean, good layout, plenty of room! We appreciated the extra appliances, spices, etc. Love the floor heating! The location was close to Salida to go into town and to head to Monarch Mountain where we were able to go snowboarding. Easiest one of the BEST places we've ever stayed. One item of note just for the owners reference, the outside trash can is not bear proof. The latch does not reach the hook.

August SxS

We have stayed at this location before and loved it. The only thing this time that was a little frustrating was when I arrived I was told to text Check-in. I did that expecting a text with my entrance code and never received one. I called and was made to feel that I had done something wrong and I should have known it was the last four digits of my phone number. After looking at all of my communications I cannot find that I was ever told that. Otherwise things were great.

Great house for families.

The house was perfect for our family ski trip! Amazing scenery and great accommodations. So much space to get separation if needed, but also a large dinging area and table to come together. The kids loved the game room. Worked perfect for coming back from skiing to hang out, and not a far drive into Salida if we needed to go in. The beds were so comfortable, and they were all Queen beds or bigger. We’ll definitely be looking for future trips to this place.
