Creekside Chalets & Cabins

Creekside Chalets & Cabins sits on 10 acres along a creek a short drive from Monarch Mountain, which gets upward of 350 inches of snow most winters and has 800 skiable acres. The property is in Salida, Colorado, a small town known for restaurants, shops and a busy calendar of festivals. In summer the same trails that lead to the slopes turn into mountain biking and hiking routes, including access near the Monarch Crest and Fooses Creek trail.

The cabins range from one-bedroom units sleeping up to six to a three-bedroom chalet that sleeps up to ten. Each has a fully equipped kitchen, vaulted-ceiling living room with an LED TV, and a private outdoor hot tub, along with its own patio and dining table. Self check-in is offered, and the grounds include a playground, fenced dog areas, and common spaces along the river. Pets are welcome throughout the property.

Guests describe the chalets as clean and well kept, with owners who are attentive to upkeep and guest comfort. The layout keeps the property walkable and set back from the road, which repeat visitors note works well for families and groups traveling together, since friends can book neighboring cabins. Reservations run through the property's online booking system or by phone, and the office is staffed daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for questions about availability or cabin configurations, including converting a two-bedroom into a one-bedroom rental.
