THE PONDEROSA ON CHALK CREEK Creekside Mountain Home

Great house! Plenty of spaces for hanging out and playing games inside the house. The layout was great for seeing everyone. Outside had several wonderful places to hang out by the river. Awesome firepit area. So much wildlife to see including deer and turkeys. The host was receptive when we had questions. Highly recommend!

The house was just as described. It was very roomy and the kitchen was top notch. The outdoor seating and amenities would have been wonderful but in November it was too cold to enjoy them. We did see deer and wild turkeys on the property while we were there.Make sure you read the manual, closely, otherwise you won't find the WIFI password.

The whole environment is pleasant and comfortable

The directions and check-in info were very complete and easy. The house was well-equipped and furnished. The property was inviting and comfy. The beautiful Chalk Creek prompted us to sit outside and enjoy the weather and the peaceful sounds of the water.

My family enjoyed the facilities and convenient location. There were 10 family members and the house had ample room inside and out. We really enjoyed the sitting areas outside. The property was beautiful comfortable.

The backyard of this house is beautiful with the creek running through it. There were multiple sitting areas available to enjoy it. Very quiet and peaceful location about a mile from the Mt Princeton Hot Springs. The kids loved playing pool when they weren’t outside. The house itself was nice. The only downside was that it got pretty hot in the afternoon with no AC, but most houses in Colorado don’t have AC. It cooled down pretty quickly in the evening when you open the sliding doors and windows. We really enjoyed our stay!

The property is wonderful. Creekside setting, fire pit, well-equipped kitchen. My wife and I brought daughter and son-in-law and five young adult grandchildren. We will definitely come back. Property Manager Renee was a delight to deal with.

Home was exactly as advertised. Excellent kitchen and amazing game collection.Perfect location for enjoying fishing and ghost town nearby. Host was extreemly helpful and no problems getting into home or internet connection. Home uses starlink.

Highly recommend this stay. Large, comfortable house is located a short walk from Mt Princeton and nestled right on the river. Our group enjoyed the house and the area. Very nice host answered all my questions. I will likely rent this property again.

The home was clean, but very limited linens, sparce and seemed only used as a rental and did not give a homey feeling. The location was our determining factor.

Property is amazing and the house has everything you need. My group loved it so much!

We enjoyed our stay overall. The amenities were amazing. The creek, fire pit, black stone grill, etc were perfect. The location was nice and quiet and easy access to Buena Vista downtown life. However, there’s a lot of reading when it comes to the manuals left on the counters. We felt like walking on eggshells a bit due to all the rules and notes to keep track of. We had the hardest time finding the WiFi network name and password. Typically it’s readily available on a counter. However, we had to dig through pages and pages to find out it was labeled as an “SSID code”. When I asked the property manager directly for the information she did not give it to me, but instead directed me to the binder. Also, they could not tell me what page it was on since they made it years ago. Lastly, we felt like a cleaning crew towards the end by washing dishes by hand since the dishwasher would not latch closed. We were also asked to do a load of towels for the cleaning crew and make sure all the trash was taken out before checkout. I really wish we could’ve just enjoyed our stay and left but we needed to clean more than I’d like. All in all, we did enjoy the stay and there was no significant issues. But with my feedback and some slight adjustments I believe another family would enjoy the stay even more. Thank you!

The property was beautiful, exactly as pictured. The outside areas were stunning. Very upscale appliances, every single kitchen tool you could possibly need was there. Very clean andcwell put together. The one thing is there were no mirrors in the bedrooms. But really a fabulous property. I have never had to pay the entire amount at the time of booking, and i booked this last November, so they had my money for nearly 8 months.

We loved the central location with our favorite activities: Salida, Buena Vista, St.Elmo, Chalk Creek/Lake. Nice kitchen, sitting areas inside and outside with the fire pit and sitting area by the creek. Very roomy house for everyone to enjoy without feeling cramped at all.
