Annual Girls Trip

We are a group of 6 Moms who fly out to Salida to escape our real lives. (I work for Monarch, so we go up to the mountain). The house had the most incredible views of the mountains, everything you could possibly need, and plenty of space. It was quiet, quaint and pretty centrally located to everywhere you needed to go. The owners were quick to respond and available for anything we needed. You wont regret booking this home.

Perfect Place for 3 Generations

This beautiful property had everything we could have wanted or needed for our stay in Salida. We had our two kiddos and my in laws with us and enjoyed the stocked kitchen and cozy living areas whenever we were not out and about at Monarch or in the city. We had a very comfortable stay and would love to come back!

Amazing Home

We had an amazing vacation in this very clean and well stocked home! The location was perfect for enjoying the town in the evenings after skiing all day at Monarch. We loved watching the sunset from the front porch and visiting around the fire. This was one of our best VRBO experiences!

Best place to stay!

This place was absolutely fantastic. They had everything you could need from blankets to 3 different coffee makers to insta pots. The beds were beyond comfortable and the location is spot on. The view of the mountains is a 360 view. The place for seven of us very comfortable and they were great hosts. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay! We will be back!

Wonderful Friend Reunion

The location was wonderfully peaceful and scenic. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets and lightning shows from the patio and living room. Very comfortable for 6 adults. Gave 4 stars on “accuracy of listing” because the online photos don’t do the place justice. I was worried the living room was a dark space (and almost didn’t consider this home) but it was bright and cheerful. Could use a nightlight and hairdryer in the master bath but overall very well stocked home.

Wonderful vacation stay!

We had a great time in this beautiful home for our girl's getaway! The location is just a few minutes from downtown Salida but a world away in feeling. It was so quiet and peaceful at night and the views from the front porch were amazing. The house is spacious, with a very well stocked kitchen. I especially appreciated being able to use the garage to pull in my car at night. We all agreed that we would definitely come back for another stay in the future! Eileen S.

Buena Vista Salida does not disappoint!

From the spectacular views, fireplace (firewood), and warm inviting atmosphere, to the little things like leftover condiments in the fridge and staples in the cabinets, Don and Nanci have created a home that will make you feel totally comfortable in no time at all. Everything you'll need is here. Quick trip to town (~15 mins) for groceries, and you've got yourselves a home base without worry. Salida is charming, quaint, and super friendly with a Walmart and Safeway close-by. Very quiet neighborhood with calm, relaxed resident deer coming through every now and again. EASY check-in, and Don and Nanci were always a quick message away with any questions or concerns, rapid replies. I really can't say enough about this place, it was absolutely perfect for our trip to Monarch (~35 mins away). Lovely, lovely, lovely...one of our best VRBO experiences yet. Can't recommend enough.

Perfect "Home" for a Small Family Reunion

We stayed in Bella Vista during a small reunion of brothers and sisters that grew up in the area; it was a perfect property for the five adults who came from out of State. We hosted two evening meals and one breakfast with all of the siblings and spouses. The kitchen was well equipped and convienient for meal preparation. The large dining table seated 11 comfortably. We did not make use of the back yard space as it was scheduled for minor yard maintenance. We did gather after dinner on the front court yard and watched sunsets and enjoyed watching evening fall on the distant mountains. The neighborhood was quiet at night and we rested well in very comfortable bedrooms. Watching sunrise and the sunsets across the valley and Colorados's beautiful mountains was a treat from the livingroom, and watching the wildlife that happened by was a highlight. Bella's home owners are hospitable and accomodating. The property information was comprehensive and very helpful. We hope to return to this perfect property the next time our family gathers in Salida.

Fabulous view, comfortable home

We had a wonderful stay at Bella Vista for the month of June 2021. The view of the Arkansas River Valley spread out below the house is spectacular. The host was very responsive and gracious; the house was quite clean and comfortable for a month-long stay. The internet is fast enough for streaming and browsing and a printer is on the network. Roku is the gateway to the entertainment center, which was a very nice touch and allowed us access to our streaming services. The house is convenient to Salida, but certainly not walking distance. It is very convenient to Scanga's Meat Company, which we adore. We cooked dinner most nights and the facilities are good with a nice gas grill for cooking outside. An extra propane tank was provided in the event we ran out. Very thoughtful! Can't forget to mention that Salida has a lot of good restaurants. We particularly enjoyed 50 Burger, The Fritz, Uptown Grill and Sweeties Sandwich shop. Summer heat is a problem even in the mountains, and the windows facing the wonderful western view also faced the afternoon sun. Even with the blinds closed during the day, it would get quite warm in the main room/kitchen, and there is just not much ventilation in the great room to help cool things off at night. In summary, fabulous view, great owner, comfortable house for a month-long stay, but can be hot in the summer.

Bella Vista is 100% worth booking.

The property was clean and very spacious. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. They did not skimp on pillows or linens. There are thermostats in every room. The heaters are on the base boards so the floors are warm in the winter months. I cannot fine anything bad to say about the property. Don was very hospitable and a great host.

Clean and lovely home close to Salida

Beautiful home in a great location - everything was perfect, they even had a Christmas tree! We (6 adults) had a wonderful time: home cooked meals in the well appointed kitchen, a short drive to fantastic skiing at Monarch, and cozy fires in the wood-burning fireplace. Our only (extremely minor) complaint is that the lighting in the kitchen is too bright and harsh. But truly, everything was perfect - beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for our family with 4 adult “children” to hang out, play games, watch TV, and enjoy the fire. The views from the front window and primary bedroom were incredible.
