What a beautiful property. We stayed in the Mt. Harvard Chalet, a one bedroom cabin. It was plenty spacious for our group of 2 adults. The cabin is very clean, that means a lot! It has a long half covered wrap-around porch in front, inside is a large living area with vaulted ceiling. The living area has a reading table and big screen television, a fold-out couch, loveseat, and a chair for sitting; my friend slept in the murphy bed which drops from the wall. A full kitchen, microwave, coffee maker, outside grill and picnic table allow guests to create imaginative meals. Jason was working on the property clearing brush; he acquired the property last December and I expect good things to happen under his ownership. The bedroom can be closed off from the living area and bathroom for privacy and has a chest of drawers and a second television. A door leads to an outdoor deck and hot tub. On our stay it was very private. Sidewalks and double chairs are great for reading or outdoor conversations. A tributary of the South Arkansas River flows not far from the cabin. The property has many trees, is well maintained and parking is assigned. We hiked to some waterfalls the first day on a trail starting at Angel of Shavano Campground. From the property turn right/go west onto Highway 50, then another immediate right onto the first county designated road. I wish we could've stayed another week because there is so much to do and see. The phone service is sketchy at best - newer Iphones (7 series) seemed to work the best. The resort provides wi-fi and are attempting to upgrade and normalize the service. In conclusion, this resort is a must stay for anyone serious about exploring in and around Central Colorado and Salida Valley. Both of us will be back soon and often. read more

We love staying at Creekside Chalets & Cabins! We first discovered these cabins in 2010 when it was Riversuites, and have been going back every year since. It feels like coming home every time we're there. The cabins are very clean and nicely appointed. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we need to cook meals, the bedding and linens are great, and of course, the hot tub is wonderful. Since Jillian and Jason became the new owners of Creekside Chalets, there have been new improvements each time we're there; upgraded mattress and bedding, new kitchen appliances, new pots and pans, better charcoal grilling equipment, and this year new wood flooring! Even though the cabins are near the highway, they feel secluded because they are surrounded by aspen trees, and the way they are laid out add to the privacy. It's very relaxing to hear the water rushing in the creek nearby while soaking in the hot tub or enjoying our morning coffee on the deck and watching the birds and animals feeding. We saw three deer grazing in the yard last week. The location is surrounded by beautiful mountains, near the Monarch ski area, great rafting on the Arkansas River, and dining and shopping in Salida. It's the perfect setting! The website makes checking availability very convenient, and one of the things we especially like is talking to the property manager directly when making a reservation rather than going through VRBO or a similar company. Marlene is always very personable and helpful whenever we call. Please keep that personal touch. One last request before closing: please, no more thinning of the trees on the property. They lend to the privacy and feeling of being in the woods. Thanks for the memories. We'll see you again in 2019 if not sooner! read more

Omgggg! This place is heaven on earth! My whole family came out for a family reunion and rented out just about all the cabins, everyone had a amazing time and stay! They had everything you could possibly need or want! I very much enjoyed having breakfast with my family every morning around the table and evenings calming down in front of the TV in living room The king size bed was made of clouds and the windows helped open up and make it a bright living space it had air conditioner But we did not need it as you can just open all the windows and let the airflow through!! the hot tub was our favorite part ! along with the creek that ran through our back yard;) Will definitely be coming back here for many many more years to come it's perfectly situated about 15 minutes down the mountain from Salida or Monarch ski mt and its just 10 minutes up the mountain but if you ask me I would've been fine just staying at the cabin the whole time! Absolutely worth the time and money to find this place it's a must must go top 10 summer adventures await you! read more

This is the second year that we scheduled an extended stay at Creekside Chalets. Jason and Jillian have done a great job addressing the issues noted in others' reviews and some from our previous stay. Our cabin had new living room furniture. We also noted that the refrigerator had an ice-maker, there were new window coverings and a new microwave over the stove. While we were there (early to mid July), new air conditioners were being installed in all of the cabins. We stayed in Mt. Shavano, and enjoyed sleeping to the sound of the creek. Overall, we had a great vacation. We enjoyed Salida, but also took numerous day trips to Buena Vista, Leadville, Gunnison, Crested Butte, Creed and Lake City. We love to go four-wheeling, and found many trails where we could park our trailer, off-load the ATVs, and spend the day enjoying the beautiful "off the beaten path" scenery. We would definitely recommend Creekside Chalets!! read more

Our family has been staying at the chalets for years and it just keeps getting better. The cabins are beautifully maintained and roomy with all of the comforts of home. The grounds are gorgeous and hearing the creek water is the most relaxing sound. My husband fishes the creek throughout the property with success. The location is fantastic, close to all attractions. We have been river rafting, zip lining, royal gorge, buckskin joes (when it was open), golfing, 4 wheeling, and fishing local lakes. It is our go to place to get out of the heat of Texas summers. The management is superb, they are always available to assist you with all of your needs. Highly reccommend the Chalets for small or large groups. Very nice to travel with friends and family when at the end of the day you can return to your own cabin. read more

We Loved our mini retreat! We chose Mt. Shavano (closest to the creek) The Chalet was clean and had so many comforts! The bed was amazing... we had plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, etc ... The hot tub under the stars was great! Also... we had a surprise visitor every morning. There was a Robin bird that literally knocked on our front door every morning! At the bottom of the door is a gold kick plate... maybe it was drawn to the shinyness... or maybe he just was welcoming us! It was so funny. We left some seeds for him. The property is peaceful and feels secluded. The hosts Jillian and Jason were very respectful of our privacy and booking is easy and convenient. Thank You for providing a place to get away... and... feel at home all at the same time. We can't wait to return... Kelley and Dan Piz read more

This place is worth every penny. Thank heavens its priced so that most travelers can afford it. :-) We had the Mt. Princeton cabin. The cabins are inviting, spacious and have a warm, homely feeling. The tall ceilings and skylights in the living room are gorgeous. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need- pots, pans, plates, silverware, coffee pot, microwave, freezer, etc. The flat screens in the bedroom and living room are massive. The gas fireplace makes it feel like a cabin. The jacuzzi is perfectly private and well-maintained, ready for you to jump in. The fact that we could bring our dog made the experience so much more enjoyable not having to kennel him. The grounds are secluded in a grove of Aspen trees and have serene walking paths. We LOVED THIS PLACE! Can't wait to go back! read more

We have stayed in these cabins since 2010, probably at least 15 stays. Every trip has been great, anytime of year. Since Jillian and Jason took over last year, things have only gotten better. Our recent stay was April 28-30th 2017. They added in a Wi-Fi network, which worked great! Part of the allure of the cabins was that you HAD to disconnect from cell service and wifi, but adding wifi did make things a bit more convenient as far as dinner reservations and texts. Overall this is the absolute best spot in the Salida area to stay! Even if it is only 2 nights, the space and comfort is well worth the price. I have recommended these cabins to several of my friends and they all agreed it is a fantastic get away! Highly, highly recommend you give them a try if you have not already! read more

These accommodations exceeded our expectations in every way. The care and oversight the owners put into the property is clear at every turn. They go to extra effort to accommodate dogs and have provided thoughtful touches for this purpose. We stayed two nights while we skied Monarch. We appreciated all of the hooks for ski gear, backpacks etc. as well as the well- appointed and spacious pantry. The notes offering tips through the chalet showed particular attention to detail. Linens were clearly freshly laundered and sealed in bags for hide-away and Murphy bed. The chalet was immaculately clean and the hot-tub very obviously regularly maintained. We will recommend this property to anyone who needs lodging in the area and will most-defiantly be back! read more

We had an amazing time at Creekside Chalets, staying for one week with our two teenage sons. The chalets are in an idyllic setting, in the mountains close to the charming town of Salida and close to lots of great activities, such as hiking, biking and rafting. The chalet was excellently equipped and had everything needed, and to a high standard. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub and bbq/picnic area. The owners, Jason and Jillian, went out of their way to ensure that we had a great stay and were very helpful for tips and local information. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay and as a base for doing the various mountain activities. We will hopefully visit again in the future, maybe to try out the skiing in winter. read more

Last minute decision to go to Salida for a couple of days to celebrate a birthday, and found this gem while searching for a nice place to stay. Was happily surprised over and over by the small touches included in the set up of the chalet, and the king sized bed was comfy. Enjoyed the private hot tub, kitchen had everything we needed to cook the breakfast fixings we brought, and the couch was also very comfortable. It was a quiet, warm (in November) and peaceful stay. WiFi not great, that's the only downside...maybe not since we really were able to soak in the beauty of the place and not waste too much time on our devices. Looking forward to going back again next time we visit the area. read more

I have lost count of our visits to this beautiful, quiet place, in all seasons. We take our cat Merry, she loves the big windows and watching the birds land on the porch as we feed the Russel Jays bread crumbs. This pas trip we enjoyed the hot tub, as we usually can not tolerate the heavy Chlorine used in most locations, but NO CHLORINE SMELL! It was so nice to enjoy that again! We noticed the upgrades, the added decor, and the grounds were beautiful! I have recommend this oasis in the mountains to several friends who have all visited over the years. Thank you Creekside Chalets for another wonderful weekend!! We shall see you in late Spring. Sandy McCoy-Cooper Canon City, CO read more

Creekside Chalets was a splurge for us, to make sure we had a special mini-vacation even if the spring skiing wasn't so great. The skiing was just fine as it turned out, but we still loved our two nights in the Mount Antero cabin, which accommodated our party of two adults, two kids and two small dogs with ease. The cabin's angular contemporary design suited us perfectly, especially the many large windows that let the light flood in and afforded generous views of the stands of pretty aspens in every direction. The cabin amenities and equipment were exactly as advertised on the website. If it looks good to you there, it will not disappoint you when you get there. read more

We had a great time at Creekside. The private hot tub was clean and super nice. The river and the Aspen trees were perfect. I recommend bringing tin foil, spices, condiments, etc for your journey. They do communicate this however, it's always nice to get a reminder. The staff was great. Wifi could be faster, so perhaps unplug while you are in the cabins. The wifi did work however, it was spotty day to day. Overall, we got what we needed. I will be going back. I stay in Salida often and have had a 2nd home there too and hands down by far this is my favorite place. The signs in the property are very well marked and the staff uber friendly. 5 Stars for sure! read more

We stayed there for 4 days the cabin was very nice the memory foam bed was very comfy. It is a good base to enjoy all the Arkansas River valley has to offer, hiking, biking, rafting, 4 wheeling even enjoying the hot springs in the area. The private hot tub was very relaxing at the end of the day. The walking path along the river was very relaxing and the benches to sit and listen to the river were an added touch. The new picnic tables by the cabins were installed on our last day so we didn't get to use them but for those staying in the future they are a very nice edition. We would definitely return and I would highly recommend the Creekside. read more

These cabins are very nice. The location is great, close enough to Salida in case you need to drive into town for supplies or eating out, but far enough away that you feel like you are in the mountains. The cabins are nicely decorated. The beds and linens are very nice. There is just about everything you would need for cooking. The wifi worked great and we had a lot of people in our party (5 cabins & some with teenagers). The grounds were very nice with lots of little touches through out the property. The creek that runs at the edge of the property is very nice. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the place. read more

I don't know very many hotels let alone cabins that welcome you the weekend of your wedding with flowers and a hand written card from the owners. To say Jillian and and Jason went above and beyond for our Labor Day wedding event does not begin to describe what an incredible oasis they created for us. Most people only see their friends and family for their wedding day, and for perhaps five minutes tops. Thanks to creekside, we BBQ, Hot tubbed, hiked, and had TIME to truly connect with so many of our guests that traveled far to be with us. We are so grateful to Jillian and Jason, and the amazing vacation they gave us!! read more

Beautiful location along the creek. We had the 3 adjoining cabins and loved it. it was very convenient to all be together as a family. The only thing we could have used more of were dish rags and dish towels. Also, our fans mysteriously would come on during the night. That made for a great conversation piece. The owners were very sweet. They came by to check on us, wish us a Merry Christmas and to give us a gift and card. There was a playground for kids to play on. it was perfect for my nearly 2 year old granddaughter. This was our 3rd time to stay here. We'll be back. read more

Just stayed in the Mt Shavano chalet for a get-away weekend. The cabin is located right next to the creek, which is lovely. The cabin is stocked with pots/pans/dishes to make meals, but make sure you bring your own spices and oil to cook with! The private hot tub was fantastic. The grounds crew kept the sidewalks clear of snow and ice and even shoveled our walkway to the cabin! Bring ice as the fridge is not equipped with an ice maker and the ice cube trays are tiny. We will definitely be back later in the year to enjoy the warm summer nights with a campfire! read more
