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!

Clean, tidy house with good location

Location was really nice. Bedding (sheets and pillows) felt cheap but other than that a good overall find.
