Wonderful stay at River Valley Retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River Valley Retreat — it was the perfect home base after full days of making unforgettable memories. The check-in process was seamless, and the property manager was attentive and responsive throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed getaway.

Excellent property!

This was a great property for our family. Everyone has room to spread out when they wanted and we had a great space for family time and meals too. The property manager was very responsive to the one need we had while we stayed there. We will likely stay here again when we're back in the area.

Nice getaway

Location isn't too far from Salida or Monarch ski area in a quiet neighborhood. Easy access and a lot of space for (4) adults and (2) kids and (1) dog. Walking distance to a playground and having a small fenced area were a big plus. Beds were comfortable and quiet rooms. Only complaints were dog hair on some of the clean linens (specifically when we pulled out the roll out bed under the queen) and it could use a few more basic cooking items (foil, rimmed cookie sheets, storage-ware). Host is very responsive.

Awesome Find

We ski frequently at Monarch Mountain. We needed a dog friendly property this year and came across River Valley Retreat. It was a great find! The location was the best part! We typically stay in Garfield but quickly realized, this spot in Poncha Springs was perfect. Quick trips to the grocery store for forgotten items, quick trips to downtown Salida to walk around or grab a bite and the drive to the mountain wasn’t bad either. Loved the property.

Great cozy home

"We had an amazing stay! The place had everything we needed for a perfect home away from home. We went skiing and had an unforgettable experience on a snowmobile for the first time. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the host was incredibly accommodating. We highly recommend this spot and can’t wait to return!"

Stay at riverside retreat

This place is always amazingly cozy and inviting!! We love staying in Poncha Springs - a little outside the hubbub of Salida. Nothing specific has come up other than the garbage bins - just a simple manner of leaving them in garage until garbage day.

Great little retreat near Salida

We loved everything about this property for our family of four (with a pre-teen and teen). There is plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was appointed with everything you might need to cook. The beds were very comfy and the whole unit was decorated stylishly with a chic mountain vibe. Would be back to stay any time!
