The experience
A place worth getting to know.
Three private cabins (Hortense, Cottonwood, and Chalk Cliffs Chalet) along Chalk Creek in San Isabel National Forest, each with its own private hot-spring pool fed by the property’s mineral waters. There is no public day use — the entire experience is an overnight rental with unlimited private soaking between Mt. Antero and Mt. Princeton. Guests report great privacy and wildlife sightings, though reviews are mixed on cabin upkeep relative to the price.
Plan your visit
This property is an overnight stay rather than a public day-pass stop. Compare the full lodging rate, inclusions, and minimum stay before booking.
No day use — you must rent a cabin (~$350+/night minimum)
