Creekside Chalets & Cabins — Hotel in Four Corners States

When we arrived the cabin was pretty hot inside. We had just got off an 8 hour drive and our Pug was dying. Went to go turn on the AC and realized the chalet didn't have it. If you're AC people like we are, you may find it too warm in the late summer afternoons. I think mainly the Mt. Massive chalet has this problem because It's on the far side of the property and has no trees blocking the sun like the others. I called and whined a little... sorry Jillian. Jason immediately showed up and discussed the problem. The next morning, he installed an evaporative cooling window unit. Didn't make it cold like an AC but definitely kept it nice enough. I'm quite sure the other chalets don't have this problem as they are surrounded with trees. The other issue we had with the Mt. Massive chalet is it really has no privacy at all. My wife and I were thinking we would have a private jacuzzi. Not the case. It's 10 feet from the neighbors with only a partial fence between the two. Their kids were playing in theirs so we didn't even use it. We didn't use the grill either because they were using theirs right next to ours. So it's kind of a community vibe with the far three units as they are all connected. Maybe wouldn't bother you, but wasn't our thing. Also, the kids were playing and screaming till late all around the cabin. Two feet from our bedroom window. We had to shut the windows and shades because it was dark outside and they could just see right in. If privacy is your thing, don't choose the Mt. Massive chalet. That being said, my wife and I plan to go back and stay at one of the other chalets. Most are stand alone and close to the river. Much more privacy and surrounded by trees. So beautiful. Not to mention true private jacuzzis. I think we just got the wrong chalet for what we were looking for. Now we know. Jason and Jillian are amazing hosts and will bend over backwards to make your stay as amazing as possible. We can't...

We had a small women's retreat using the connecting cabins of Mt. Oxford and Mt. Elbert. Although each chalet could sleep up to 10 people, we are thankful we only had 8 (4 in each), which was great. Ten (per chalet) would have been very crowded and impractical with very little privacy or room, due to the use of 2 queen beds in the small living rooms (taking away the use of the group areas), a nice rustic table made for 4 (could seat 6 if you had extra chairs, + 2 stools at the small kitchen counter would make a tight 8), and only one bathroom in each chalet. The connecting doors went through the master king bedroom in Mt. Oxford into the 2nd bedroom with 2 queens in Mt. Elbert. Therefore, in order to get from one living room (group area) to the other, or to one of the other bedrooms, you would have to go through the bedrooms. Each chalet would be perfect for 2 - 4 people. The small kitchen was well equipped, with a nice big storage pantry. Although (in Mt. Oxford) the bottom shelf in the refrigerator was broken, which made it difficult to use the drawers. It was nice to have a double entry to the bathroom between the master king bedroom and the kitchen. The cozy living room seated 5 on comfortable couches and 2 on a rustic wooden "love seat". We were able to pull over 2 of the kitchen chairs to seat the 8 of us. The fireplace was cozy in the living room with a large flat screen TV above it. It was a special bonus to have separate heat controls in each room and ceiling fans! The mountain scenery was beautiful and it was calm, quiet, and peaceful! We had a wonderful time! With the 8 of us, we were able to all join together or separate between the living rooms for a movie or games. The lock box for the key was a great way to check in. We would definitely stay again. It would even be a special place to go as a married couple or...

I first stumbled upon Creekside Chalets through Hipcamp, where I was acquainted with the beautiful settings and glowing reviews of their campsites in particular. After what I thought was thorough research, I booked the Mt. Pahlone campsite directly through Creekside. While overall, we fully enjoyed our visit and have a mostly positive review to share, I think there are some important things to note for others who may be considering a campsite here. This is specifically for the Mt. Pahlone site— Pros: huge pull-through site, expansive amount of water frontage (could also be a con for families with small children, as they’d need 100% supervision—it’s not just a babbling creek, it is decently swift and deep water), tons of trees to string lights or hammocks, included Adirondack chairs, furthest from the road, clean port-a-potty, decently canopied by Aspens Cons: We knew this site was near a work shed, but didn’t know it was overall very exposed and not private whatsoever, as opposed to the other sites. It’s also the only site that doesn’t get dark at night because there are nighttime lights on neighboring buildings that keep the site illuminated all night. Again, not the case with the other two sites. You can definitely still hear road noise, which is drowned out the closer you are to the water, but still noticeable. Found a large railroad spike in our site, which would have been absolutely devastating had it pierced either our trailer or tow vehicle. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and did enjoy our site, but there’s definitely a part of us that wishes we would’ve maybe booked differently—perhaps Ouray. You can’t necessarily go wrong, but depending on what you’re looking for, I think each site offers unique and different experiences for...
