Mountain views and wildflowers greet you on your private front porch at this charming, new, one-bedroom guest cottage with a private entrance. Located three blocks from downtown with its historic storefronts, restaurants, art galleries, and the SteamPlant Theatre, and three blocks from the Arkansas River with its fly fishing, whitewater park, and shady Riverside Park, this immaculately maintained cottage is comfortably furnished for 2 or 3, including linens, cooking utensils, books about the local area, free wi-fi, and produce from the owner's organic kitchen garden in season!
Relax on the front porch and watch hummingbirds and butterflies, try out Chaffee County's only regulation petanque (boule) court (instruction provided by arrangement), write the Great American Novel, mountain bike from your front door, wine and dine at Salida's great restaurants, walk to the river to catch your limit in trout--this cottage is perfect for those looking for peaceful and inspiring getaways.
Well-behaved dogs permitted by arrangement.
Your hosts (a writer and a sculptor) live next door and will greet you, and are happy to offer suggestions on where to go and what to see.
