View from cabin 340 deck
Jamie M.

There is a lot of room for improvement needed here and a lot probably has to do with staffing or lack of. Arrived Saturday (check in was 3PM). We stayed in cabin 340 (2 bedroom: queen bed, bunk with full and twin). This cabin is located right next to the recreation building, dog park, & fitness center. There is a patio area off the bedroom containing the queen and also a large sit down patio with table, 6 chairs, gas fireplace pit, & gas grill. On arrival our gas grill looked like it hadn't been cleaned in some time. Here began our first encounter with maintenance. We later would find out our patio light was out (that took 3 attempts to get replaced). Kitchen comes with dining table, 4 chairs, full size fridge, stove top range, microwave, toaster, single cup Keurig, & stocked with the necessities needed for cooking and serving along with dish soap and paper towels. It shares space with mounted flatscreen and a 2 seater couch that is a pull out. Bathroom is single sink, small cabinet containing extra towels (think we had a total of 4 and ended up asking for more which was a 2 call inquiry). It's a shower only setup; there was wall mounted hand soap, body wash, shampoo, & conditioner. These were unfortunately empty on our visit; and part of the three tries to remedy. Before I move on from our cabin we spent the last day of our stay with a broken AC (this took 2 calls; first determined it was working, second overruled the first diagnosis and found the unit was completely unresponsive). They offered to move us but at this point it was our last night and seemed pointless. The pools (there are 2) were very much enjoyed but again staffing was close to nothing. We waited to attempt the pools after crowds started moving out Sunday. The pool did not feel heated beyond what the jacuzzi waterfall poured into it. This pool area contained the outside bar/food offerings. I found the souvenir kids cup drinks pricing very cheap (2 bucks and some change), you could get these at the inside counter. This pool stays open until 10PM. The water zone which is where there is another sitting/kids pool and water park has very limited seating (I'd hate to see this place at capacity). Our group rented a cabana for the whole trip thankfully. I have to say the food we tried from the concession area here was delicious (cheese stuffed bread sticks, funnel cake fries, Buffalo chicken empanadas) and prices weren't bad. The water zone was freezing, I struggled getting accustomed to the water. I also noticed one of the small kids slides was broken, no water pumped into it keeping the slides fully wet and water pooled at end (it did catch water from the drop bucket). This kept it slick so when my daughter went down it she went flying out over the end hurting herself. This area stays open until 6PM. Arcade; don't bother! More than half the games are broken, you can only buy a game card if you have cash from register (the machines that normally distribute those were broken). General store was disappointing in souvenir offerings. I'm sorry I like things more location specific. Golf cart, rent one. I don't know how you can get to everything this location offers without one. Unless your diehard walker (which we did quite a bit). Outdoor sports area; my kids loved the bouncy floor it just was a trek to get to on foot. Activities were very few and again lack of staff made it all very chaotic. Ice cream store (pop up located near recreation building and park) wasn't open Sunday/Monday during our stay. This was extremely disappointing. Not sure if this is normal hours; or just again understaffed. We saw Yogi bear 3 times during our 4 day stay, not once during the activities that were being held (I've heard he does a flag raising at other parks). Gem stone mining; our group purchased the 21 dollar mining bag it contained enough for 4 kids ages 4-10. The mining activity is basically an at your leisure (there are 4 sluice boxes). It's located near the red train and look out tower (both great photo ops). Sadly not sure my family will return to this Jelly stone location. We in total were a group of 18 ( 3 cabins & one rv site). Aside all the hiccups it's a lackluster location in terms of scenery; if you like trains, coal trains are a plenty to hear and watch at ALL hours of the day, and being right off the highway. Trees are almost completely clear cut and gone with many young trees, so in 20 years+ might make this place feel more of a "camp" like location.

Great family friendly campground resort. Lots of deer and rabbits. They have a something for everyone here. I do though wish that they had an adults only pool area.

Oil on patio general mess!
Eric B.

Arrived to a spot that's a mess, what I presume is oil spilled on the patio and trash in spot. The staff speeds by the road in front of us and blows through the stop sign a regular intervals. Traffic is heavy on BooBoo street. I would stay away from this trashy place. For the money they should at least make sure the spots are picked up before you arrive. Oh if you like a train going by every hour so loud you can't hear a person talking and trash then you may like this dump

Found on loft ceiling.

Boo Boo Cabin Review - first, we rarely post negative reviews. The location in Larkspur is beautiful & the cabin roomy & comfortable. Unfortunately we were disappointed by the management & upkeep of the lodging: - visiting in March & there were living flies every where despite it being cold & not in season - the Loft floor was very dirty, kids swept it plus bed was not made & random packing tape found on ceiling (see photo) - floors were dirty turning bottom of our socks brown - disgusting hair & dead flies in silverware holder & bath wall scones - lots of black, brown & golden dog hair on bed covers - a variety of items Not Working - fire-pit & lighter, WiFi - the bath door doesn't stay closed - lots of dust & debris including dirty, dusty, buggy window sills & blinds, floors, etc... - Arcade prize dispenser not working - Amenities not open like Clubhouse pool, fitness center & cafe despite having to pay 'amenity fee'!!! - bedcovers are old, thin & quite frankly disgusting - phone at front desk never answered, we called several times & calls not returned!! In summary, we were disappointed after spending a good amount of money for spring break trip with grandkidsl

There is bear alert. They put a sign up. Call animal control. Someone could get hurt. People are important too. Not just animals.

Are changes about Health benefits we come for? Are they for the People? The Cleanliness of the waters? Available to constant use of locals? Do they remember who has supported CHS through the years? Are they continuing what made it a great place for all? Are they considering its' history? * My stay was really delightful! Their employees are the best, from front desk to the pool man who is the most important one... the water keeper. They are learning! I am reminding them to think of their client base and not to forget us as they make changes in soaking and room rates. Tourists come and go...locals use the health benefits and come often if it is reasonably priced. Only one negative, I am very, very disappointed the low cost dorm areas are gone now. For those of us that travel here they were a hidden gem. Why were they not advertised for more usage? The previous owner made sure the property and waters were available to all, and that cost would not keep people from the healthy, sacred benefits found here. *I adore CHS and will expect it to get better and better as needed improvements are made. I will have to come less often due to prices, however I am staying positive as this beautiful place is a gift to us from the earth and extremely important to me. Let's take care of it, support it, and give positive feedback. Thank you, blessed caretakers of this place of peace, beauty and health. Brenda Helms

Although all the hot springs around this area have been in operation for a long time, this location has not been updated. Changing, showering, or other locker room amenities are very minimal and when paying around $40 a person to soak, higher end services should be available.

If you want to feel connected to the Earth again, if you need some space from your regular world, if you need a spiritual boost- or if you just need hot water on your body and to look at some beautiful and epic views- this is your spot. I've always booked a room and that has been amazing! When I was there last month I saw a couple pull up with their teardrop airstream and camp for the night- making breakfast in the morning and setting out chairs to take in the glorious valley laid out before them. I was so inspired by this magical mini-vacation vibe. I'm going to try and do that exact style of trip one day when I can get my shit together a little more than I have it. They did an amazing job with Covid safety! I felt completely safe and comfortable. People need space and beauty. If you're feeling stuck or weird or struggling with your world, I believe this place will help you. Nature-lovers will feel at home. If you're not comfortable with nudity, probably not for you. Embrace your self and others and enjoy a nice nude foray into mountain side bliss! Or wear a suit the whole time. It really doesn't matter. What matters is looking up at the sky at night and experiencing how close we are to the beauty of reality.

Valley View is located on a land grant, so they can only accommodate 30 people (?) or so a day. Once they reach the limit, they no longer accept any more, so I loved how intimate and non-crowded it was. Will definitely be back!

The real star here is the private hot spring pool. It was the perfect temperature and the scenery is gorgeous. While soaking we were visited by a gorgeous doe, lots of hummingbirds and a variety of birds. Large towels were provided and there is a washer and dryer. The dryer was great for towels and wet swimsuits between soaks.

The cabin itself is a historic one that was moved to this location, that being said it is both incredibly cute and quirky. The log cabin itself felt cozy and rustic. The hot springs pool in the back was amazing and relaxing. It was clean, clear and warm the entire time we were there (they do give you a hose to cool it down as needed). I found it private. Now, that does not mean there is nobody around. The other cabin (Hortense) is nearby and you can see houses up on the mountains behind the house (plus a few more in the valley). We heard a couple voices from Hortense (nothing loud) and we did briefly see the dogs people mentioned (although it was like a quick run through the yard when we were eating lunch inside). We did not have a problem with privacy or noise - it was all peaceful. The cabin has a nice living room upstairs (and a bedroom with 2 twins we did not use). They also have a variety of board games and cards (which we definitely used). Downstairs is the queen bedroom, the kitchen (with stove, micro, dishwasher, fridge and all you need) and a very, very, very tiny bathroom with a sink, toilet and shower. It is a very old cabin and the floors are a bit slanted. I didn't think it was that bad, although around the bathroom a lot of different flooring met and there was some unevenness. The bathroom is the only thing I did not care for. It was impossibly small. Showering in that stall was downright claustrophobic. It wouldn't stop me from renting again, but it was what I took a star off for. Still, overall it was a wonderful stay. No TVs, just wi-fi. Plenty of beautiful views, hot springs and and awesome relaxing can be found here. It is also literally just down the street from Mt. Princeton. Love it!

Deer Valley Ranch was an absolutely beautiful place to get married, and we're so glad we chose it…read morefor our wedding. We booked fairly last minute, so the main lodge was already reserved for a family reunion, but we were able to rent Centennial Hall for our reception, and it worked out wonderfully. One thing to be aware of if you're planning a summer wedding is that Centennial Hall does not have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm during the reception. Even so, everyone had a fantastic time. We also experienced an unexpected issue with a neighboring property owner playing loud music during our reception. We later learned this has been an ongoing issue because he has expressed that he doesn't enjoy living next to an event venue. Fortunately, our DJ was able to drown out most of the noise, and, behind the scenes, Cammie handled the situation quickly by contacting law enforcement. Everything was resolved promptly, and it never became an issue that took away from our celebration. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Deer Valley Ranch is a gorgeous venue with an amazing staff, breathtaking views, and affordable value. We'd absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful mountain wedding venue.
