Everything was very clean, but without air conditioning at this time of year, it was quite uncomfortable at night. Thank you!

Comfortable and Convenient Home

We stayed here while our family of 5 visited the adorable town of Salida. The house was comfortable, well-stocked and just steps from the town - restaurants, river, park, etc. Enjoyed having our morning coffee on the front porch and occasional visits from deer. There is no A/C but if you open windows at night and close up house during heat of day, was perfectly fine for us - and it was super hot during our stay (90 during the day). Could not believe how quiet the town was at night - so lovely!

Starlight Cottage

We loved the open floor plan of the house and the proximity to the downtown area and Riverside Park. All very walkable. Dog-friendly was also a plus. Will definitely reserve again in the future.

Family Ski Vacation

Family of father, son and grandson (2 adults and 1 teen), each had a comfortable bedroom. House was nicely updated with modern conveniences and located only a block from downtown. We enjoyed skiing at Monarch Mountain and then taking walks downtown for dining and shopping. Parking behind house had easy access to back door. All in all an enjoyable stay.

Perfect for a Family

This property was conveniently located close to downtown, the river and a great park for the kids to play. The place was neat and clean and included everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We really appreciated the attention to details such as a can opener, coffee, laundry detergent, plenty of toilet paper and paper towels, etc. Our children were able to watch their favorite shows on tv and we found board games. Our host had thought of everything to help us enjoy our stay in a lovely little town.

Perfect Place

We had such a wonderful time staying at Starlight Cottage with our children and a couple friends for a wedding. The layout of the house is excellent and the location could not have been better - just steps from the park! The manager Wendy was very responsive and accommodating and we even got to meet the owner when he stopped by to fix the bathtub and was lovely as well. I would recommend this house to anyone and hope to come back to stay again!
