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 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 werenât 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 donât 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.
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, thereâs 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 itâs readily available on a counter. However, we had to dig through pages and pages to find out it was labeled as an âSSID codeâ. 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 couldâve just enjoyed our stay and left but we needed to clean more than Iâd 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.
We got there and I have never used VRBO before I thought the property ID was our code to get in. We arrived late Friday and it was not. Call the property manager and she was rude and seem put out to help us get into our rental. Second, we found a DEAD MOUSE in one of the rooms. The we saw a live mouse couple different times during the stay. It is a mountain house there was no wood, they had whole tree they seem to start to cut up on the ground. Place and furniture were old and run down. Sectional couches we very uncomfortable and kept sliding apart. The Kitchen door by the grill was not locked upon arrival and we could not latch it the whole weekend. We reached out to the property manager through the whole weekend not a fun getaway. In addition, this a mountain house in winter it snowed a couple of time and got very icy, and they had not salt to lay down for our safety. Last they had 3 trash cans completely full we barely fit 2 bags of trash in them. We felt so unsafe this whole trip and afraid mice would get into our luggage.
I would never recommend this property to anyone.
Our family had a fantastic week a the Ponderosa on Chalk Creek. The cabin is very spacious and the outdoor space is beyond great. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
Amazing location. Right on the Chalk Creek. The kids fished and had plenty of water time. Kids loved the pool table and it got plenty of use. No A/C, but the attic fan makes it more than comfortable. Kitchen is pretty well stocked for your needs and the grill was in perfect condition. Would definitely recommend and we will be back for sure.
Our group consisted of ages 6-82. The house set up was perfect and spacious for all and the location offered a lot of activities. Would definitely stay here again.
This is our familyâs second year in a row at this cabin; we love it! The cabin is spacious and well equipped to handle a group of all ages. The outdoor seating options by the river are beautiful and serene. The cabinâs location provided our family with a variety of close options to hike, fish, kayak, swim and shop.
We really enjoyed our stay here from the comfy cozinessof the cabin to the nature scenery. From the moment we arrived it was beautiful and breath taking with everything available to us. The only thing that we were not happy with was that our vehicle got stuck in the driveway full of snow and ice. The driveway was not plowed or treated to have our vehicle to be parked downhill in the driveway. My only recommendations are for obviously one to have a 4x4 vehicle when renting in this location. Also getting a notification that the driveway was not treated or a warning that weather conditions didnt allow a 12 passenger rental van to be parked in the driveway.
