The house and property is lovely, inside and out. Easy check-in and check-out process, the guidebook was helpful for my stay as well. Beautifully decorated home and nice outdoor area to relax and enjoy a meal with others. The neighborhood is quiet and it's about a 10-12 minute walk to downtown which added to my experience. Would definitely recommend!
We have always enjoyed our stay at the Sunflower House. Great location and privacy, very comfortable and quite. Would like another stay if it will get posted again when available. Thanks Caran!
We left a review on top of the guest book in the kitchen. We also washed our towels before we left, but they are still in the washer and not the dryer. We did not feel comfortable having the dryer on and no one was there.
We had a wonderful time staying here. Its a great location and in walking distance to shops, restaurants, and trails. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of some odds and ends they had avaliable and we were comfortable throughout our stay. We will stay again!
Traveling through Colorado and exploring some places weâve never been. The town of Salida is very cute. We enjoyed being close to the downtown to meet up with friends. Had a little trouble with the mini-split AC when we arrived and it was quite warm. The house is very cosy with charming artwork. We only had a 2 night stay but very much appreciated being able to stay with our dogs and explore the town and surrounds.
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as advertised in the description. It is a very comfortable house. We like cool bedrooms so we appreciated having A/C, that is hard to find in the mountains. Our small dog loved the enclosed backyard. Old house charm with modern amenities. We would stay again and would recommend.
Loved this property. Cute house, had everything we needed for a weekend. Great outdoor space was enjoyed by all of us, including our dog. Extra toiletries were a nice touch. Cruiser bikes were an awesome amenity for easy town access. Would definitely recommend!
We loved the house! It was the perfect location, great size and comfortable backyard/courtyard. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the beds were so comfortable! We would stay in the house again the next time we ski Monarch or want to come and fish and ride mountain bikes! The kitchen had everything we needed!
We have stayed at this listing 3 times during the winter. Every time has been a wonderful experience. The host is always available for questions and the house has everything you could ask for! We will definitely be back again.
Another lovely stay at the Sunflower house. Enjoyed a couple days of skiing at the wonderful Monarch Mountain. Got out for a fun bike ride on the Monarch Spur Trail, the bikes are such a great perk of the property. Such a nice walk into town to enjoy some holiday cheer!
Bill, our 5 year old son Max and myself (Caren) live in Breckenridge CO. I moved to Breckenridge in 1985 from Michigan and fell in love with mountain life immediately. Bill is a physical therapist and Caren is the owner of Blue Sage Spa in downtown Breckenridge.
In the mid 80's I found myself in Salida working for Rocky Mountain Outdoor Center (RMOC) as a photographer. I would drive up and down the river with my Mother's old Cutless Supreme and take photos of the rafters, then drive back the RMOC and develop the film in a darkroom aka closet, give a slideshow to the guests and sell them prints. Did I mention I lived in a tent by the river as well? These were fond memories for me so when Bill and I had the opportunity in buy a place in Salida we jumped on it. Downtown Salida used to be a ghost town back then, but now it is thriving and it is so nice to see the transformation. The community of people are friendly and laid back and we love spending time here. When looking to buy, we tooled around with our real estate agent on our bikes and we must have looked at 35 properties until we found the house on Teller St. We love it because of it's fun and funky touches outside and in, but mostly because Bill and I have created a great outdoor living space that provides comfort and relaxation for all to enjoy!
I would say the unique benefits of this property is that we have all brand new furniture in the home with a mid century modern flair. We do accept most pets and have an enclosed backyard so guests can let Rover roam around without the worry of him getting loose. The outdoor living space provides ample room for guests to relax and enjoy themselves, and the hot tub helps guests melt away any tension or stress!
