My friends and I take an annual retreat vacation, and we stayed at Whispering Willows this year. It was one of the best spots we've experienced yet! The house was scrupulously clean and well-stocked, and we got so much use out of the hot springs pool. We loved staying here, and have put it on our list for sites to revisit.
Wonderful property, the beds were comfortable, the deer were friendly, the sounds of Chalk Creek through the windows was perfect. Add the pool and hot spring and it could not have been better.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The geo thermal pool and hot tub were perfection. The river access, pool table and piano were icing on the cake! Thanks for sharing your wonderfully charming home!
This was our second year here with our grandchildren during their spring break. Still a great house and swimming pool for our family. We would like to come back again next year.
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The house was cozy and clean, and we absolutely loved the pool and trout ponds. This property has so much to offer, we will definitely be back again.
What a lovely place for all to enjoy. I didnât even want to leave the property! Thank yâall for the perfect Colorado vacation. Iâm booking again right now.
Amazing river side property with natural hot springs feed pool. Spacious house, lots of kitchen supplies, and very quiet (except for the roaring river!). I would only say not good for toddlers and small kids - lots of amazing collections and breakablesx I would have been nervous with my kids there.
We had a very nice stay at this house. The pool was a full size, heated pool. We swam several times a day even though the weather outside was cool - it snowed and was below freezing in the morning two days. But, it was warm and pleasant in the pool. The area is beautiful and not far from St. Elmo Ghost Town. We also enjoyed the herd of deer and rabbits in the yard while we had our morning coffee.
The house and property exceeded my expectations. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with cooking equipment and utensils. Only downside was that there was a wedding reception at the event center next door on one night of our stay. The music was so loud that the windows were rattling and we could hear every word of every song, even with the windows closed, until 11 pm.
This place is wonderful. Ropmy close enough to town of needed, but of the beaten path. Spacious and beautiful house. The pool is the crown jewel of the property. We'll be back :)
We had a wonderful time in a beautiful place! The Hot Spring pool was amazing and the natural spring was incredible! The place was gorgeous with an amazing view and the host awesome!
the pool was so nice,,, the only issue was the lack of air conditioner... we broiled on the hot days and had to leave until the sun went down then sit outside opening all the windows to cool the house off enough to sleep at night. the house got cold at about 3am/night with all the windows open The house temp was okay until about 3pm when it was too hot to hang out on deck or in the house the weather was hotter then usual in late july
The home was peaceful, clean and had many activities to keep us entertained. The property was close to town and trails. We were very comfortable staying and would recommend families with kids of all ages.
Wonderfully huge house! Loved the furnishings and decorations! And the pool - it is the masterpiece of the property! Plenty of eats within 15 minutes in Buena Vista. The views are incredible! Really enjoyed our stay. Would have stayed for a week of we could have. We're considering coming back again, it was that good!
I really loked everything except for the cameras. I get they want to make sure their house stays good but I really could have gotten out of the pool better without a suit that instantly was ice cold. Naked right into a towel would have been much better, it was so cold! Pool was great!
Family house, Our folks bought the land in 1972, lived in campers on the property while building the house. we swam in the pond as it was a hot water pond, until we let the water from the creek flow into the pond so fish could survive. As time went on our parents passed on and now we have made where all can come to enjoy as we have and continue to do. We come from a family of construction workers and understand what hard work brings so we ask all to show respect and safety.
Next door to the world-renowned Mt. Princeton Hot Springs which is open to the public, this property is PRIVATE! Guests have private access to a 22,000-gallon geothermal heated swimming pool, a natural rock soaking pool, two ponds, and over 300 feet of riverside frontage along with a greenhouse and a spacious 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house with a two living rooms, a dining room and eat-in country kitchen, a game room with a pool table, as well as a sunroom.
Private geothermal pools are rare which makes them unique to this valley. Even though this location is 15-20 minutes from Salida or Buena Vista, Mt. Princeton Hot Springs is right next door and they do have a restaurant/bar as well as a small grocery store and gas station.
