Salida STR 0284 STX-ID-03505718-0001
Right on the banks of the Arkansas River! Stay at the River Aerie, a beautiful condo perched above the Arkansas River. Aerie means "Eagles Nest." So relax on the deck and watch the river flowing underneath or scope out the wildlife, kayakers, and rafters! With a spacious master bedroom and wide open living area, this is the perfect riverside home base. Just a stroll away from Downtown Salida and all of its wonderful restaurants, shops and exciting night life. Twenty minutes away from Monarch Ski lodge and Monarch Crest Trail! We hope you enjoy your stay and look forward to coming back as much as we do!

Colorado Heat

The condo has a wonderful location. The property was perfect for the two of us. The weather was unseasonably hot and the main living area is not air conditioned. This was uncomfortable and a disappointment. Everything else was great.

Quick Off to Summer

We had a wonderful stay in this spacious, clean condo! We loved relaxing on the back deck overlooking the Arkansas River. Beautiful view! The condo was close to several hikes and an easy walk into downtown Salida to shop and eat at restaurants!

Perfect One Bedroom

Our stay was all PROS…no CONS. The location was wonderful, the patio and view were delightful and the condo was comfortable with a great roomy floor plan. Well stocked and decorated. We watched the world float by on the river and took quick walks into town to dine at restaurants, shop, grab coffee/ice cream and watch the river surfing. We had a most enjoyable stay.

Ski week

We really enjoyed our stay at River Aerie. The location was great, set along the River and within walking distance of all the restaurants in the historic downtown area of Salida. The condo was well appointed and very comfortable. It was a bonus to have a garage to keep the car in. We certainly enjoyed our time skiing at Monarch Mountain and returning each afternoon to River Aerie to relax. We will be back!

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
The property itself was pristine, spacious and had a beautiful view/location ride on the river. Unfortunately, the condo was represented as being on a completely non-smoking property, but when a large group of people were smoking, primarily in the mornings and evenings on a balcony, right next to our rental balcony, it made the availability to our balcony and the option to leave our patio doors and windows open untenable. Therefore, for morning coffee and evenings, we were trapped inside. The most disappointing outcome was when we reported the smoking to our property manager, we were told that they would notify the HOA but property owners were only under the jurisdiction of the HOA. The smoking was never resolved throughout the rest of our stay and the Property Manager insisted it was outside their control. I suggested to them that they advertise the property correctly because we would not have chosen to stay there if we had known that smoking was allowed on the property. They offered nothing except apologies.

Just so relaxing and peaceful.

This location is everything you need to be a hermit holed up by yourselves, mentally recharging your batteries or to walk the incredible river to all the food, drinks and entertainment you want! The Arkansas River is our go to in Salida and has been for 20 years. This condo is very comfortable and beautifully furnished with everything you need. Communication is outstanding. They go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy while also clarifying obvious responsibilities on our part as renters.

Several visits

After several visits we know we enjoy it. The price increase this year is steep. Not sure we’ll return. Couch cushions are worn out and lack proper back support. The sound bar for the TV in the living room has not worked for three (3) years. The kitchen knives and silverware need to be upgraded. We brought our own pillows for the bed this time and very thankful we did because they are much better than what’s on the bed. Otherwise, we obviously enjoy it enough to return over the years and bite the bullet on the price increase this year.
