The property was conveniently located, the garden and area around the lodge had a very natural vibe. The creek that ran through the property was beautiful. The room was clean yet small. It worked for us for one night. The owner was very nice, accommodating and had a lot of information about the area, food, and breweries.

Pretty comfy and cozy stay in clean and well-maintained old motel. Walls are quite thin so bring earplugs.

Cute and cozy stay in Salida at Poncha!

Just booked a quick overnight trip for myself for a concert in Buena Vista. Such a cute and quaint spot to stay in Salida! Highly recommend, and the owner was very welcoming and friendly. The walls are very thin so if you are a light sleeper or don't want to possibly be heard yourself, just be mindful of how you are navigating the space with others around.

4 night stay

At check in the host was very friendly and suggested several places for breakfast and lunch. Room was pretty warm and window AC on full blast when I arrived. There was a steady stream of water, not just a drip from the bathtub tap. I tightened the handles and I think I stopped it. Bed was comfortable. TV worked. Nice towels. Quiet room except for trucks out on nearby highway.
