The house was very clean and filled with everything needed to call this place “home” for a week! The fenced in yard is what sold us, but the short walk to the creek was an added bonus! There were so many hikes around for our 9 month old pups, who loved their first of many vacations! The stars gave us a beautiful sight every evening and early morning while the cool mountain breeze filled our lungs. We loved the location and nearby food! Oh, and the changing Aspens, surrounding mountains, and wildlife .. just WOW!!

We love reading review like this! We are so happy that you had such a good time. The pictures you took are beautiful and we hope you host you again!
We had a fantastic stay at Aspen Creek. My favorite was star gazing from the hot tub! Kids loved exploring at the stream. Only thing we missed was shampoo in bathrooms and oil in kitchen - take your own.
This cabin is amazing! The location is great, it is beautiful outside and inside! We had a group of 2 couples, 1 adult, and 2 dogs and had way too much space! This cabin is very spread out and has everything you could need for your stay!
A few items could be improved such as a few upgrades to the interior, but overall a very enjoyable time.
Thank you.

Thank you Amy! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again in the Future!
This was my second stay at this property. As before, the house was very clean and the location is unbeatable. Nice path in the woods back to Chalk Creek.
Stayed at Aspen Creek with three other couples and we had an awesome weekend!
Very easy to rent. Management was very thorough on check in and check out. Fully stocked kitchen and plenty of clean linens and towels. Directions were sent via email and very precise. Enjoyed our stay and will be back

Glad you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hosting you again soon!
This was our second time staying here and it was just a good and the first time. The location and coziness of the house is perfect. It could use a good deep cleaning but it wasn’t anything terrible. Mainly just noticed the cleanliness of the floors. Will be back again hopefully sooner than later!
Nathrop property is a vacay and an experience rolled into one.
5 days, total of 7 adults and doggo. Plenty of space. Perfect fenced in backyard for dog. Best stocked short term rental (kitchen, linens, laundry) we’ve ever had. A few inconsequentials such as a few light bulbs burnt out and one door lock sticking but didn’t effect our stay in the least. Some reviews said negative about the hot tub but we had no problems and enjoyed it daily.
The house is in a stand of Aspen's with a small, fast running section of Chalk Creek behind it (overgrown but mostly accessible - too fast to fish when we were there), Mountains behind the property and the Chalk Cliffs directly across the road in front. You won't find a more picturesque location. It's a short 20-25 minute drive into Buena Vista but it's a beautiful drive and the town feels close. There is however a small convenience store near the Mt Princeton Hot Springs Resort minutes away. Be aware the springs are very commercial and busy, we didn't bother. A local said the closest natural hot springs are 2.5 hours and an eight mile hike away so don't come for that. There are also gorgeous fishing lakes full of trout a short drive on either side of the property (Alpine Lake is private). The house & beds were comfortable, there were a few things is disrepair but nothing that was a deal breaker. The hot tub was very nice but we did struggle with the controls at first (there were no instructions). We were five adults (42-58 years in age) and overall, loved the property & location and would stay here again.

I think the local you spoke to was keeping secrets about hot springs. We have 3 other hot springs within 60-90 min of where you stayed. Cottonwood Hot Springs is in Buena Vista Area. Joyful Journey is in the San Luis Valley
as well as Valley View(CAUTION: this one is clothing optional). Thank you for staying with us. We hope you come again soon! The Pinon Vacation Rentals Team
This was a large house with for a family gathering. It is in beautiful location, large windows that look out over aspens and meadow. We had a wonderful time, there was room for everyone, very close to Mount Princeton. We enjoyed the hot tub on the property. It just needs a little bit of maintenance.
We most enjoyed the spaciousness of the cabin, hot tub, and proximity to Salida for mountain biking and Mt. Princeton's hot spring resort. We were given plenty of towels, clean bedding and extra pillows and blankets. The kitchen was fully equipt. This property is not privately owned but by a rental group, however, they were still easy to reach and were good about checking in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything,which we really appreciated. There were a few things that would have been nice to have but it was not a big deal at all- hangers in the closet, a luggage rack for the bedroom without a closet, and cleaning products especially for the floors.
