Where Victorian Meets Cottage Farmhouse

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.

Great Place to Stay
This is the third time we've stayed here at the Sunflower Cottage and it never disappoints in its overall comfort and spaciousness.

Wonderful home in Salida
We really enjoyed our time in Salida! The house was exactly as pictured; it was comfortable, stocked well, and had plenty of room to spread out. The outdoor area was very spacious as well - the deck was great for morning coffee and the yard was huge, and our dog had more than enough space to play outside. It was an easy 8-10 minute walk into the heart of town, which we enjoyed. We will be coming back again!

Excellent Salida Getaway
We loved our stay at the "Sunshine Cottage" in Salida. They house is lovely with thoughtful decorations and comfortable furniture. The large patio and yard is great to work remotely from or lounge in. Easy walking distance to downtown. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to going back in the future!

Great Salida stay
This is the second time we stayed in this house. It is a great house that is in a wonderful neighborhood. We stayed in the same place last year and found it just as clean and comfortable as in our previous visit. Acces was easy and we were a 15 minute walk from downtown. We visited in July and while it was very warm during the day the house stayed very comfortable. It has a great patio and we were even visited by a young buck one day.

Fabulously cozy
This property was the perfect stay for our wedding weekend. We were very busy the whole weekend - in and out of the home prepping for the wedding and it was so easily accessible. Beautiful backyard and large patio that allowed us to relax with family and also enjoy our morning coffee. Being dog friendly was just a perk! Can’t give this location enough stars!

Great house, great location
We had a very nice time at this house. It suited us perfectly and was a great home base to walk into town as well as skip up to Monarch for a day of skiing. We would stay there again.

Enjoyed our stay
This is a cute property in a great location. The beds are comfortable and the house is located on a quiet street. There was a maintenance issue in one of the bathrooms that keeps me from giving it 5 stars, but other than that, it was a very nice property.
