July bookings: July through mid August is our busiest time of year for lodging and typically fills up with 5+ night stays. We ask for a four night minimum at that time. Two and three night stays may be taken at the last minute (within 7 to 10 days) or when a two or three night window is created by consecutive bookings. Thank you for understanding.

Cute, comfy and newly remodeled, The Townie is the perfect in-town home for a single traveler, a couple or a group of four to four and a half! The bedroom offers a queen bed, the sofa converts to a double and the futon chair could be just right for a small one in their sleeping bag. The kitchen is sparkling new and fully appointed for the chef in your group.

The Townie is just two blocks from Alpine Park and the Saturday Farmer's Market (June throught October). Historic down town Salida and the Arkansas River are 5 blocks away. Walk to restaurants, galleries and shops, or ride the two Town Bikes provided. The Townie is a tidy victorian on a friendly neighborhood block. High speed internet and cable TV add to your vacation comforts!
