We received great instructions from the host, and so the check-in was smooth. This is an excellent location! All of the downtown businesses are within walking distance. We were fortunate to be at this location on a Saturday morning when the Salida Farmers Market was right across the street at Alpine Park! We loved our stay.
This house was located within a few blocks of the downtown Salida area. It was clean and had everything we needed for a nice relaxing stay. We would definitely stay here again.
The house is very inviting, comfortable, with a lot of character. We enjoyed being able to walk to town and a special surprise was the farmer’s market across the street in the park. The communication with Amanda at Piñon Rentals was fabulous and she was so helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Hi Jenny! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Parkside Cottage. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Property was the perfect location & had all we needed for cooking on-site, good laundry facility & loved that it was across from Alpine Park. It was easy walking distance to restaurants, shops & river. Great bike riding right out the front door. We would stay at this location again.
Flexible peppery manger, excellent location, cute place
There was extremely flexible with my mom, changing her mind when she would arrive or leave. The flexibility communication was appreciated. The place was very cute and check-in was very easy.

Agnes, thank you! We are thrilled to hear you had a successful stay at Parkside Cottage. We would love to have you come back again soon!
We had a wonderful time at the Parkside Cottage. The property is nicely located in residential Salida, across from a park and easy walking distance to the downtown shops/restaurants and the river.
The property itself was clean and well equipped.
Perfect little house on a quiet street close to downtown
What a quaint little place! Great two bedroom house with everything you need, located close to downtown Salida. Well decorated with lots of cool stuff. Just what you need and no more or less. We loved it!
Stayed here with our 5 year old daughter. House is on the park and easily walkable to downtown so that was great. Place is very cute as an older house. We were fine but just as a warning to parents with more rambunctious kids- there is a lot of breakable things throughout the home. The place had a hair dryer and coffee maker- there is some shower soap, but most folks probably want to bring their own shampoo and conditioner. We stayed over Labor Day weekend, and were just fine without AC. Would recommend staying here.
