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!

Love this house

We loved staying here. The house is very comfortable and even better than represented on line IMO. Terrific location, walking distance to all the restaurants and pubs, as well as the river. We would stay here again.

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.

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.
