Creekside Chalet review: 5 stars. Honestly, 6 if I could. The hot tub alone deserves its own…read moreaward--basically a therapy session with jets. The place was so clean, I half expected a cleaning fairy to waltz in and curtsy. The furniture and beds? Comfier than a post-Thanksgiving nap. Pillows? Fluffier than a baby alpaca. And those clear plastic boxes for extra bedding? Pure organizational wizardry. Marie Kondo would weep. Cozy blankets made me consider quitting my job and becoming a professional blanket burrito. Pet friendly too--complete with poop bags and couch covers so my dog could live her best life and I didn't have to wrestle her off the sofa like a WWE match. The smoking station on the back porch? Genius. Keeps butts out of nature while still letting smokers feel fancy. The kitchen? Huge table, solid chairs, and a crockpot that made me feel like I'd been transported to a cooking show. Quality pots and pans for days, but only four coffee mugs. FOUR. For a whole chalet. Are we hosting an exclusive espresso club? And one dish towel? My sponge practically filed a complaint. Here's the kicker: it snowed overnight the first night, and by the time we came back from skiing, the walkway was shoveled and the hot tub lid was cleared off like some magical snow-removal ninja had swung by. Honestly, it felt like Santa was moonlighting as chalet maintenance. We did lose heat the first night for a few hours, which gave us an unexpected "polar survival" experience, but those thick duvets were life-savers. Overall, 10/10. Already plotting how to make this my permanent address.

Love this place. Would go back in a minute. The campsites by the river are so well kept and…read morepeaceful. I loved the sound of the river through the night. The entire place is immaculate and plenty of things to enjoy. Kids have a nice play area as well.

The location was perfect--quiet, convenient, and an easy drive to some of the best trails in the area. After long days of riding, it was a treat to relax in the beautiful garden, which gave the home such a peaceful and welcoming feel. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. What really stood out, though, were the hosts--they were warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a place to stay near Salida or Monarch Pass, whether for biking, hiking, or just enjoying the mountains, this is a fantastic choice. We'd love to come back!

Perfect location between the slopes & downtown attractions. And what an amazing host! All messages are answered in seconds, always available, welcoming and accommodating! We felt right at home. I would not look for any other place in Salida.

People were fairly quiet but it is next to the river and highway so it can get somewhat loud at night. For some reason I heard a lot of bikers zooming by.

We had our dogs in the car at all times and never broke protocol. She would randomly pop up and try and catch us doing something "against policy" in which we were complying 100%. I will never stay here again and will tell all of my family and friends to never give this person a dime! Oh also, she charged us $160 two weeks later without even notifying us! If you choose to stay here, have fun getting charged for some mysterious fee later. Never again.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY!!! Thank you, as always, for a wonderful stay at Ski Town Condos Gigi!…read more The condos we stay are always clean, cozy and had everything we need for the weekend. It is our home away from home!! We appreciate your recommendation of the snowmobile trip -- we had a blast and now we own two snowmobiles after that trip. We will be coming down again for some more snowmobiling and skiing/boarding at Monarch and staying at Ski Town Condos. Its awesome that your condos are located so close to the ski mountain. I also appreciate Gigi telling us about the winery that we visited. All of this made our weekend complete -- along with Gigi's pleasant and friendliness with all of her guests. It was like visiting with a friend! Thank you Gigi!

We had the most awesome experience with Craig and his team at Rocky Mountain Jeep Rentals!…read more My family and I had never been to the area, and had never rented a Jeep so a totally new experience for us. Craig listened to what we wanted to do, offered a couple of options for things to see and took his time to explain the maps so we wouldn't end up in Albuquerque. It was quite the rush and an experience we will never forget. He mentioned we may see a moose along the way, and to our surprise my Wife spotted him. Icing on the trip cake! Thanks so much!
