Very accommodating and enthusiastic hosts/owners at the office. Very nice and clean room, although small queen, it had everything you'd expect at a larger motel room. We loved the knotty pine throughout the room.

Uniquely re-done little motel. Quirky, cute and amazingly comfortable. Beautiful outside areas to relax in, as well. We would have enjoyed staying there longer. Will definitely stay there again.

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.

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.
