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.

The place was clean, but it was a no-nonsense hotel. Small and average. Bed was comfortable. Only stayed overnight. They usually have a campfire, but it was raining. No pool (which they never advertised). Older place. Also, it is called a lodge, but it was more like an older motel. Lady was both housekeeper and checked us in. Very polite and friendly.

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. 😉

Excellent lodge with great ambience!
I got a few rooms for my family for a wedding in Buena Vista! Both families couldn't stop raving about the owners, their rooms, the fire pits area, and I personally liked the price!
