Massive", and found it sparkling clean, spacious, and welcoming. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We especially loved the gas fireplace, that added much to the overall charm. Our last day, we woke up to a lovely mountain view, with a dusting of snow on the high peaks. What could be better than that? Of note is a great guidebook (not just the one online) that helps to enhance your visit, and even offers some discounts at local businesses. We are looking forward to some time at Creekside again this winter. It's so convenient to Monarch Mountain, another gem in the Salida area. We are hoping to secure a chalet closer to the picturesque and peaceful creek. Another special bonus of this unique and special lodging.

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.

Then when we got to the property several days before our wedding it was not ready for us (I have several photos). the owner was outside the mornings of my wedding planting flowers because they were not done before my arrival. I had several family members help me pull weeds and sweep and clean the reception area because I could not set up without those things being done and the owner was not responding. even now 11 months after my wedding he has yet to return my security deposit. the owners was nothing but unprofessional when working with him. like I said, my wedding was beautiful but honestly I would have chose somewhere else to get married if I would have know the headaches and stress this man was going to cause.

The place itself is very conveniently located to anything in Pagosa and also to various hikes. The facility is visually appealing and the hosts are far and away the nicest, most accommodating people you could ever meet. Just so happened it is the beginning of the season and we were the only guests for two nights. We were downright spoiled with the attention we received. Took full advantage of the happy hour (two hours actually) which included some amazing appetizers and open bar. Our first night we decided to take advantage of the in house dinner menu and it was terrific as well. Tried the filet with mushroom risotto and also the beef stroganoff with rice. We both shared and enjoyed immensely. Dessert was vanilla ice cream with an amaretto/maple sauce. I would drink that with a straw by the way. I was even given seconds on dessert, thanks Jim. We had the loft room in the main house which has its own balcony, fireplace, bathroom, AC unit, sitting area, etc, etc, etc. They think of all the touches including drinking water, smart TV, a fridge, and even simple things like eyeglass cleaning wipes in the room. Very comfortable room, king bed, and overall feel. I should probably mention that each morning we had a custom gourmet type breakfast. Odilia likes to cook and she is good at it. Our last morning we even took our breakfast out on the main deck and enjoyed the breathtaking views. We went hiking that morning and they even let us check out a little late so we could shower up before moving on to our next city. Speaking of which, we were also able to request a to go lunch for our hiking days. Food was great and plentiful. Became lunch and snacks for the day. Big thanks to Jim and Odilia. Give them a chance if you are in the neighborhood.

She demonstrated no empathy of concern for issue and never once apologized for their error. The cabin assigned was not the cabin we requested upon making the reservation. A confirmation was never sent as promised so this created confusion upon our arrival. The cabin assigned was filthy, the bed was not made and there were used bath towels in the bathroom. The blankets were riddled with hair, pet or human. The utensils in the kitchen were filthy. We washed everything before using. The electric fuse box was not cover and hot wires were exposed. The propane stove and heater were not ventilated which required us to sleep with the windows open. Overall, the area is beautiful and I could anticipate at rustic cabin. However the is no excuse for rudeness and a filthy facility. Research other options, or bring your own sheets and blankets, a bar of soap and dish gloves because you will need to clean everything.
