Where Victorian Meets Cottage Farmhouse

The hiking, 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 or Tres Litros 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 120 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, down a flight of stairs has 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 and 2024. 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 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.

The property was charming, well stocked with supplies, appliances, etc., and in a wonderful location with a 10-15 minute walk to town as well as breweries/restaurants on hwy 50.

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.
