We enjoyed our stay here. The accommodation was comfortable and convenient for our needs meeting up with family in the area. The only issue I had was my bad back had a hard time adjusting to the memory foam mattress.

Had a wonderful time at this property. Loved how easy it was to get to Monarch Mountain. Being close to the grocery store was a real bonus.

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.

Wonderful condo! Clean, spacious, well appointed, comfortable, homet feel. Nice kitchen, well equipped. Garage is a plus. Would stay here again. Great location, too.

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.

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.

This host spent a lot of time making sure that the condo was comfortable and that amenities were stocked. Would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat. The property management company was also very responsive and helpful with getting us booked for an extra night so that we did not have to rush out of there :)

We had a great time here! It was clean, organized, and just perfect for our family stay (4 adults, 2 kids, 1 dog). It was convenient for so many activities in the area. You can tell the owners take pride in their space and it felt so cozy with all the comforts of home. Check-in and check-out was easy. We'd love to come back for another visit!

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!

"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!"
