We loved everything about our stay at Dunwell Cottage! It is incredibly charming and nothing beats the location. The park is only one block away, so it was easy for us to walk over multiple times a day with our baby and dogs. The neighborhood was also very quiet at night which we appreciated (no loud parties or groups passing by that might have woken our baby).I was impressed with how clean the cottage was (only because any pet friendly home can have its issues!), it was spotless and the carpet was super clean. The kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook, and the fenced in area in the backyard was perfect for our dogs to play outside off leash. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable place stay in Salida. We will absolutely stay here again next time we’re visiting!

Adorable little house, but surprisingly roomy inside. (It widens out towards the back.) Two large bedrooms with comfortable beds and two bathrooms make it perfect for two couples. Very short walk to many good restaurants and bars and shops and galleries. And yet it was quiet and restful. Highly recommend!

Very cute home and excellent location

We only got to stay in the home for a bit because the water was not working, but the property manager was able to quickly move us to another home in the area. When we go back, we would choose this home over the one we were moved to. The other one was fine, but this one has more charm and had more space between the living areas and bedrooms so it would have been quieter for sleepers.

Great House - Even better location

The house is a good size and a friendly layout. Beds are queen sized and they’re on south side of house so it gets wonderful sunlight in the mornings. Kitchen has everything you would need for a short stay if you choose the cook. Location is a very short walk to the River and Downtown - perfect for walking dogs, people watching and shops and restaurants. Accuracy note: the location of the house is misrepresented in the Pinon online app but the address is correct and easily found using Google or Apple.

Wonderful Visit

Really enjoyed our five day stay in Salida. We’ve tried a couple of different rental homes in town over the past few years and Dunwell Cottage is the best. Great location, close to the river and downtown activities, and easy walking distance to the Little Red Hen bakery and the Farmers Market. The cottage is clean and comfortable, and the backyard is perfect for reading and socializing. Wish the TV had cable.
