Very cute home and excellent location

We only got to stay in the home for a bit because the water was not working, but the property manager was able to quickly move us to another home in the area. When we go back, we would choose this home over the one we were moved to. The other one was fine, but this one has more charm and had more space between the living areas and bedrooms so it would have been quieter for sleepers.

Great House - Even better location

The house is a good size and a friendly layout. Beds are queen sized and they’re on south side of house so it gets wonderful sunlight in the mornings. Kitchen has everything you would need for a short stay if you choose the cook. Location is a very short walk to the River and Downtown - perfect for walking dogs, people watching and shops and restaurants. Accuracy note: the location of the house is misrepresented in the Pinon online app but the address is correct and easily found using Google or Apple.

Wonderful Visit

Really enjoyed our five day stay in Salida. We’ve tried a couple of different rental homes in town over the past few years and Dunwell Cottage is the best. Great location, close to the river and downtown activities, and easy walking distance to the Little Red Hen bakery and the Farmers Market. The cottage is clean and comfortable, and the backyard is perfect for reading and socializing. Wish the TV had cable.

Interior Excellent, Exterior Needs Work

Inside was very nice and cozy, wverything we needed. The outside could use some TLC and curb appeal, not very inviting. Location completely makes up for it. Seeing the outside in person gave me some hesitation that the whole place was run down but once we were inside we could see that a lot of attention and upgrading had been done inside. Dogs are allowed but the fenced in area is very small and the fence is only about 30" high, something to keep in mind. Overall we enjoyed our experience, just wish there was maybe some front yard seating or an inviting patio i stead of dead plants.

Very attractive and comfortable cottage walking distance to everything Salida has to offer. But be forewarned, if you want to watch the big game, there’s no cable. ROCU and access to your own subscriptions are what’s available. Otherwise this is a nicely renovated and charming cottage.

Clean house in safe and central location. No great views from inside home but GREAT location 1 block from Arkansas river & park, 1.5 blocks or less than 5-minute walk from restaurants, pubs, cafes, etc. 5-10 min walk to grocery stores. Good communication from property management company including guide on checkin process, things to do and dining options in area, and other recommendations. Recommended.

Perfect little cottage in the heart of Salida

Great stay overall in an excellent location right in the heart of Salida. We walked pretty much everywhere in town from this location. The fenced in yard was great for the dogs. Inside, the house was clean, kitchen stocked with all the cutlery and cookware we needed. The heating in the house is very efficient, and as there are two thermostats, we were able to control the temp perfectly in the living area and the bedrooms. Only issue on one of the days was the water in the shower went to from hot to ice cold and the pressure wasn't super. But everything else about the property made up for it. Will be staying here again in the future.
