About this property

Where Victorian Meets Cottage Farmhouse

The 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 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 115 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 is 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. 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.

Clean Great Location with Big Deck and Yard
It was so nice to have a pet friendly home with a big fenced in yard and still close enough to walk into town. We had a wonderful stay in the clean home with a spacious and well equipped kitchen. It’s a 15 minute walk to town, where we enjoyed the restaurants, shops, drinks and coffee. It’s a quiet street and the beds were comfortable too! Thanks for being great hosts!

Great house and location
The house is very nice. It was very clean upon our arrival. Since we travel to Salida often, it was important to have a house where we could walk to various places like restaurants. The outside seating was a great place to get some warmth from the sun. The kitchen was well equipped which is important to us since we like to cook. The laundry room was much appreciated and well equipped also. The beds were very comfortable. The only negative point was having to go through the main floor bathroom as a passage way to the other bedroom and bathroom. The second bath is down in basement/lower floor which might be hard for someone with a disability. Bathroom linens were plush and clean. Our dog really enjoyed the backyard, but there are dogs next door so we kept him on a leash. All in all, we would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Doug and/or Leanna Lampshire

Host profile image
Doug and Leanna are Colorado Natives who fell in love with Salida and wish to share the beauty, charm and pace this gem has to offer. We love to ride downtown on bikes and go out for a glass of wine, eat at a great local restaurant and listen to a local band. Riding "duckies" down the river is a blast!

Why they chose this property

There is just something very tranquil about this house. You WILL feel it when you get here.
We invested in this property because we respect the style and grace of older homes, transom windows. The original parlor and 8" mouldings are very appealing to us.

What makes this property unique

Sit on the loveseat rocker on the front porch or grill on the back deck. The back deck is large and private. The backyard is big enough to play catch, croquet or frisbee.
