The mountain biking and rafting are great in the Salida area now. Or sit on our gigantic deck and enjoy the Mountain View.
Beer more your thing?: The Sunflower Cottage is located within just a few blocks of SoulCraft Brewery so after you walk along the river, have a brew and relax and enjoy the Salida scene.
If you live in the Denver area, you should skip the I-70 traffic fiasco and come to Chaffee County for a more realistic Colorado old-time experience.
A rare combination of vintage Victorian and modern amenities in a cottage setting. Perfect House to visit for those who want to enjoy the Heart of the Rockies, Salida.Wi-Fi included. Due to the antique furniture nature of the property, it is not recommended for rambunctious children. Short-term rental license number 0344.
This 115 year old home has been entirely remodeled with attentive care to re-use the original molding where possible. The two-bedrooms sleep six. The upstairs bath includes a claw foot tub and shower combination. The lower bathroom is a shower , sink and toilet only. The kitchen was re-modeled in 2006 as we popped the top to make the ceilings 10 feet tall. It includes a customer handmade, wood topped island. New carpet in 2014. Corner Lot. Huge deck in the back yard to sprawl out on and sit under the elm tree. Beautifully landscaped corner lot. Laundry facilities on-site.

About the host
Hosted by Doug and/or Leanna Lampshire
Doug and Leanna are Colorado Natives who fell in love with Salida and wish to share the beauty, charm and pace this gem has to offer. We love to ride downtown on bikes and go out for a glass of wine, eat at a great local restaurant and listen to a local band. Riding "duckies" down the river is a blast!
Why they chose this property
There is just something very tranquil about this house. You WILL feel it when you get here.
We invested in this property because we respect the style and grace of older homes, transom windows. The original parlor and 8" mouldings are very appealing to us.

What makes this property unique
Sit on the loveseat rocker on the front porch or grill on the back deck. The back deck is large and private. The backyard is big enough to play catch, croquet or frisbee.
