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.

What a beautiful and cozy spot. The owners were so polite. They had a lovely fire going with a breath taking view of the mountains. This type of place is what I wanted out of a retreat to the mountains. The room was clean and very comfortable.

Cozy Quarters

Cute rennovated Motor Lodge close to the hot springs. Cozy room with comfortable bed. Nice and clean, but not particularly quiet. If you are planning a romantic get away be aware the walls are very thin. 😉
