6 Bedroom House in Salida

NO pets | KIDS OVER 13 WELCOME
Peaceful and serene, this private riverfront estate sleeps 12! The Poor Farm is a newly renovated, historic farmhouse perched on a bluff along the Arkansas River.
The home features 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, mini arcade, library, cedar sauna, and a private beach with access to Gold Medal Fishing Waters. The large Victorian-style rooms with vaulted ceilings offer plenty of space for friends and families to spread out. The beach is just a 50-second walk down the hill. Located 5 minutes from downtown Salida and 22 minutes from Monarch Ski Resort.
We're only 2 miles from downtown Salida, which is bikeable and walkable in the summer via a riverside path that leads into town. Taxi services are also available if needed.
Hosts live in a separate adjacent home and keep to themselves.
All bedrooms are on the second floor, accessible by a staircase with 22 steps. Each room has a private bathroom and individual A/C units in the summer. Organic detergents and cleaners are used for a healthy, minimally scented environment.
The spacious kitchen includes everything you need for cooking, with a 6-burner stovetop, 2 ovens, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, water filter, pellet ice maker, and a large fridge/freezer. We also provide organic coffee and tea.
This beautiful, peaceful location on the river is a perfect home base for your adventures in the Arkansas Valley. Rent rafts locally and use our private beach for rafting in or out. Enjoy a picnic by the river, bike to town, or relax in the outdoor seating area with a glass of wine and a crackling fire. The sunsets are breathtaking, and the dark, quiet nights offer stunning views of the stars. If you're an early riser, watch the sunrise from our cedar sauna.
The outdoor space features a large seating area with a wood-burning Chiminea fire pit, and a seating area on the river beach.
The Poor Farm was built in 1892 by Chaffee County as a home for the destitute, who worked the land in exchange for room and board. It originally covered over 100 acres, much of which is now the Mt. Ouray State Wildlife Area. Listed on the National Historic Register, it’s a cherished piece of Chaffee County history. Hosts spent three years lovingly renovating this property and are excited to share it with you for lasting memories.
A note to the nit-picky: As a riverfront property in the country, minimal encounters with bugs in the summer are normal. If that bothers you, this may not be the right booking for you. Across and down the river is a rarely-used, 100% non-toxic sand and gravel company, often mistaken for an active mine. It’s located near the historic Salida Smelter Tower, which has been inactive since 1920 and is open for public visits.
Important: Your reservation is only for the number of guests booked. No additional guests or visitors are allowed on the property. The exterior of the property is under surveillance for your safety and ours.

Summary: So nice to be out in the countryside, overlooking the Arkansas River and surrounded by the mountains, and still enjoy the hustle and bustle of downtown Salida, so close by! This house is beautifully kept and exquisitely decorated with antiques, and each room has it's own bathroom. The host is so friendly and helpful. Our stay here could not have been more perfect! Most memorable!

Summary: We came for a 50th bday friends trip. The guys wanted to fish and the girls wanted to hang out. This place fit the bill. Unfortunately the river was abnormally high and running too fast to fish but there was a small "lake" down the street that the guys really enjoyed. Salida is an awesome mountain town, great shops, good walking town, and very friendly people. It was wonderful having a bathroom in every bedroom, although we found that the downstair shower was our favorite. Be advised that only the upstairs bedrooms have AC (window units), it can get warm downstairs even with the windows open but as the sun starts going down the temp cools off inside as well. The house had everything we needed for cooking meals. Shae, the host, was exceptional and communicated often and easily. We loved the Poor Farm, inside and out!

Summary: This home was perfect for our family with each bedroom having a private bath on 2nd floor & the living area & kitchen is perfectly located on 1st floor. The kitchen was stocked with dishes so we could cook meals. We loved the "sonic ice machine" & use of a dishwasher. When we had a question the owners were fast to respond. Perfect location and property.

Summary: Beautiful property with all the lovely amenities and so many thoughtful touches. Oozes with character and a bit of mystery. Very comfortable for relaxing, cooking, cold plunging in the river! Would definitely recommend for extended family vacay or friend groups as all bedrooms have an en suite. Host was attentive and accommodating.

Summary: Beautifully decorated & maintained historical home in an epic Colorado setting. Our group had the best long weekend spending time together at the Poor Farm, walking around by the river, dining & shopping in Salida, and visiting the nearby hot springs and ghost town. The fire pit and game room are just the icing on the cake!
