This was probably my favorite house I’ve ever rented. It was in a great location with walking access to downtown and everything we wanted to do. It was very comfortable and has great outdoor areas for sitting. I will definitely go back whenever I go to Salida.

Samantha, Thank you for taking the time to write a nice review of the Sunflower Cottage and how you enjoyed the deck and outdoor space. We look forward to hosting you again when you venture to Salida!
We came to Salida for a friend's wedding and couldn't be happier with our stay! Doug was quick to communicate. The home had everything we needed. The kitchen was the best stocked VRBO we ever stayed at. The backyard was beautiful, our dog Fynn loved it too! We grilled lunch one day. Hope to come back next year! Erik and Tina

This was a great home base for our visit to Salida! It was so easy to walk downtown to great coffee, restaurants and parks that we did it multiple times a day. We loved sitting out on the back patio and front porch, and seeing deer wander through the yard. There was plenty of space for us and our baby - the layout worked fine for our family, but just know that one of the bedrooms needs to be accessed by going through the bathroom or the other bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook and stay in as well. Overall, a really charming old house that we loved staying at and would stay here again!
We absolutely loved our stay at The Sunflower Cottage! The house is very clean and comfortable. It has been very well taken care of and is just darling! Only a few blocks to the downtown area, where you can shop, eat or take a walk along the Arkansas river. We would definitely come back for another visit :)!
Cute little house and a fabulous location close to downtown. Nice yard, too! Enough space to play frisbee with our dog. The house stays pretty cool considering how warm the days got when we visited. One note: the big bedroom can only be accessed by passing through either the smaller bedroom or the bathroom. It would work well for a family/parents and kids, but it’s a consideration. We had a great time and would love to come back!
Doug Lampshire (host) was very communicative and informative. Every step of the way was handled with grace and professionalism. I love the location of this property and the space provided for my friends and I. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here and accommodate us.
The minute my husband, pup and I walked into your cottage in Salida, we felt at home. You provided all of the amenities that we needed for our 3 night stay. Your home was located centrally to everything, store, river, gas, entertainment and restaurants. The beds were comfortable, the back porch was amazing for an evening drink and the front porch - just amazing. We met the most wonderful people walking the neighborhood and sitting on the front porch drinking our coffee. We also met a few deer that came by for a surprise visit. Thank you so much for making our visit one of the best ever. Until the next time, our best to the owners.
It was a great location in town to walk to everything. It was clean and had everything we needed!
