What a beautiful property! Everything we needed and more was provided. It was clean, it was quiet, and the courtyard between the cottage and owners house was straight out of a fairy tale. Just about anything you could need in town was walkable, and a pleasant walk at that. Definitely my first choice next time we visit Salida.

A fabulous property in the heart of Salida. It truly had everything we needed. A great kitchen with good coffee. The bed was excellent with plenty of room underneath for storing suitcases. We really appreciated having plenty of nice towels, a closet to put our things away and robes for when we were just relaxing at the cottage.The outdoor space is beautiful, just like the photos. Our hosts were friendly and very easy to communicate with. This property is an easy one block walk to downtown Salida and the river. Leave your car right there in the provided parking spot and walk everywhere.Perfect spot for a trip to Salida.

This place is perfect for a couple needing a getaway. Fantastic location, walkable to anywhere in town you want to go. The building was a Mother In Laws quarters- it's not large, but entirely functional, and was perfect for us.Beth is super communicative and was a great hostess. She offered her patio to us where we were able to relax in the sun and enjoy the space.Without a doubt, would stay again.

This cottage is a true gem. It was cozy and quiet. The garden was a lovely to sit in at night with the lights and where we enjoyed the evening air. It was my husband’s birthday during our stay. I reached out to Beth to see if she would mind helping me put up a few decorations to surprise my husband. She said absolutely - I sent them to her and she and her husband put them up. So very kind of them! My husband was surprised! The cottage was clean. The communication with Beth was easy. She was very quick to respond. The check-in was easy. Overall we had an amazing stay and enjoyed our time there. Highly recommend staying there. It’s quaint, close to town and a joy to stay.
