We loved everything about our stay at Dunwell Cottage! It is incredibly charming and nothing beats the location. The park is only one block away, so it was easy for us to walk over multiple times a day with our baby and dogs. The neighborhood was also very quiet at night which we appreciated (no loud parties or groups passing by that might have woken our baby).I was impressed with how clean the cottage was (only because any pet friendly home can have its issues!), it was spotless and the carpet was super clean. The kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook, and the fenced in area in the backyard was perfect for our dogs to play outside off leash. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable place stay in Salida. We will absolutely stay here again next time we’re visiting!

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.

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.

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.

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.
