The cottage was the perfect place to explore Salida. Only a few minute walk from downtown. It was nice being able to walk to the bars or grab a morning coffee. We had an issue with the heater in the unit, but Beth and her husband were quick to respond and get it resolved. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay over the long weekend. The cottage has everything you need in a small package and the location is unbeatable. I highly recommend it for couples who plan to spend a lot of time downtown. 5 minute walk from the heart of things, letting you eat, shop, browse the art galleries and enjoy the river park on foot.

Beth and Dave were great hosts and accommodated our needs! Their cottage was great for our two-night stay in Salida. Everything needed to cook dinner was available, and the location near downtown and grocery stores was amazing. Parking and check in were convenient and easy. Finally, their back yard was a wonderful place to eat and relax outdoors. We’d stay with Beth and Dave again!
