Nathrop, Colorado
Whispering Willows is a one-of-a-kind, a PRIVATE mini-resort, vacation rental located in the valley between Mt. Princeton and Mt. Antero. The views are spectacular! Ideally situated on Chalk Creek, this lodging features a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom sprawling house with a well-equipped galley kitchen, a large living room, and an oversized rec room with a regulation-sized pool table. Dine inside at one of the two dining tables, or move everyone outside to the deck, or even creekside to the gazebo. For those who love to cook outside, a gas grill is available. The Mt. Princeton Grocery Store is within walking distance and has a limited supply of groceries. If you don't wish to cook, the Mary Murphy Steak House is also within walking distance and serves 3 spectacular meals a day. There are many spa options available.
Guests love the amenities inside the house, but the outside of this property is what makes it so unique. Enjoy swimming year-round in the full-size geothermal swimming pool, which is surrounded by a pool deck and zero gravity deck chairs. The swimming pool is maintained at a warm temperature that is not too hot for swimming. A relaxing place to soak up the sun while relaxing in a private and peaceful environment. The natural rock soaking pool, also heated geothermally and creekside, will bring peace and balance to your life as you unhook and unwind. Temperatures in the soaking pool can be adjusted to the guests' desired preference.
As an added bonus, this private property has two freshwater ponds with Rainbow Trout (no fishing allowed from the pond), and large willow trees, which lend their name to the property. With approximately 300 feet of creekside frontage, guests can fish from the banks of Chalk Creek, however, Wrights Lake and Chalk Lake are both local favorites, and just up the road from the property. Our well-manicured lawn is somewhat of a rarity in the high Rockies.
We do provide regular pool maintenance, however, there is no lifeguard on duty. While children are welcome, guests assume all liability for themselves and those in their party. A rental agreement and waiver-release agreement are required when making a reservation. Guests are encouraged to bring their own water toys, beach towels, and any other accessories they wish to use in the pool as we do to provide those items.
Don't miss your chance to relax and recharge at a one-of-a-king, geothermal property, located in the valley between two world-famous 14, 0000-foot mountains in Colorado, USA. Contact the property manager today and we will make the process easy and seamless for you.

This was our 4th year staying at the house for our annual ladies getaway. Has everything you need and the pool and hot spring is such a treat.
We have stayed in many homes over the years visiting the Arkansas River Valley of Colorado. Mainly in the Nathrop area. Just want to take a moment to say we thoroughly enjoyed this place so much we decided 2 out of the 5 days we were staying here, not to leave the house and its beautiful yard, hot springs pool and the awesome hot spring along the creek, please respect this place -you can see the love & care that has gone into this property inside and out. going back for sure
Love the pool and hot springs.
Our stay was very nice and relaxing. The size of the house is great for a group. A little warm in the house for July without A/C but the fans helped. Property was beautiful and location was off the beaten path but close enough to activities and restaurants. Would definitely go back!!!
Whispering Willows is an outstanding private rental. The home is kept in exceptionally great condition and is perhaps one of the most cleanliness rentals we've booked. This home has all of the amenities throughout the kitchen, bathroom, and living spaces. Communication with the property manager was exceptional, as well as, the check in/out process. The property, itself, is amazing and the pool was exceptionally maintained. We cannot say enough positive comments about this rental. The description and pictures are 100% accurate and honestly doesn't provide justice to the beauty of the space and property. Outstanding vacation rental.
This was one of best vacations we have enjoyed in Colorado so far. The house felt like family and we were warmly welcomed by feel of the home when walked in. I was mesmerized by the beautiful landscape and rushing creek. Now I have to purchase a white noise machine so I can go to sleep with that wonderful sound. Every item in this home was lovingly displayed and I especially fell in love with the native american decor throughout the home. The most touching items were Rose's rosary and each door frame was blessed with a crucifix. We relaxed by the beautiful pool each day. I never feel this at home in a hotel no matter how wonderful the hotel may be. We intend to return as much as possible and as budget allows. I have two very tiny suggestions for the owners. As I am only 4ft.10 the upper kitchen cabinets were a bit difficult to reach. I would have loved to have a step stool. My other suggestion would be to consider replacing the carpets in the living room and den with hard flooring such as laminate. Easy maintenance. Would add a bit of elegance. All in all.....I want to thank the Detreman family for the won derful vacation we both dreamed about.
This property is amazing - super clean inside and out, warm pool, and beautiful surroundings! The kitchen has everything we needed when we wanted to cook and the restaurant next door was a great option when we didn’t. We loved it!
Property was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Couldn't ask for more. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone.
Well appointed home, great layout, amazing pools. Lots of space. Very clean. Perfect for our group. We look forward to visiting again!!!
This was our 3rd year in a row spending spring break at Whispering Willows with our daughter, son-in-law and two grand daughters. The pool and house are great and the craftmanship of the construction, cabinetry and mill work is almost a lost art. Full of collectables and antiques too. I am sure we will return again. Renee is a pleasure to work with.
Everybody liked the house, and it reminded them of a relative’s house from the past. Got to meet owner and learned some area history.
The ladies had another fun and relaxing stay. Three years in a row and already looking forward to next year.
We all loved It! Good location to ski MONARCH. The warm pool was the best!
The property is breathtaking. The house was immaculate and well appointed. The private pool was fantastic and the perfect temperature for November in Colorado. We will absolutely make this an annual trip going forward. What was the most remarkable about our stay was the care and service we received from the property manager, Renee. Without going into details, Renee went far above and beyond for us, and we will be forever thankful for her warmth and kindness. All we can say to her is Thank You!
Very nice my sister in law brother in law and me and the wife really injoyed the pool and outdoor grilling inside of the house was amazing great time would go again
Wonderful home with your own private hot spring and pool. Extremely relaxing and great hiking trails nearby. Our kids are 11, 10, and 3 and we found some great trails for all of us nearby and spent the rest of our stay at the home swimming and relaxing. Clean and kitchen is stocked with all you need to cook or prepare meals with. Lovely warm home.
We really enjoyed our time at this property. The outdoor space is fantastic--beautiful grounds, pool, creek, spacious deck. It's a great location between Buena Vista and Salida. The house is quite old as is the furniture, decor, etc., but it was very clean and comfortable.
Our trip was perfect ?
This house and property was AMAZING. The pool was huge and warm, perfect to wake up and warm up. We visited Bishop's castle and Royal Gorge while here. Total privacy in backyard :) The whole backside of the house has windows you can open and hear the creek. Very quiet and peaceful. We came in June and the weather was perfect, lows in the 40's-50's and highs in the 70's-80's. The house does not have ac, but when you open all the windows and use fans, the house was comfortable in June. The creek is cold and has small waterfalls. The soaking pool has hot and cold water running constantly, stir it to get the perfect temperature. We stayed at 3 private houses during this trip, and this house was our grand finale, and it was the best by far. All expectations exceeded!!! Highly recommend!!!
We had a wonderful time at Whispering Willows. The pool is awesome!
We were 5 ER nurses who needed a well deserved break from the chaos of thE ER and all of the Covid stress. The moment you walk in the door everything melts away! You are transported back in time with all the rich history of the house! We settled in nicely at the pool with cocktails! The views and sounds were refreshing! This was my most magical vacation ever! I will book this place multiple times a year now! Thanks for giving me such a beautiful retreat! We are grateful’
