The fall colors are amazing in October. The house is laid out a little funky but it was very nice. There is zero cell reception which was also very nice. Loved the house and will definitely recommend it.

Hi Patrick: We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us at Chalk Creek Meadows. I would agree that the house is "funky", which lends to its charm and suitability for multiple families or groups. We hope that you'll keep us in mind the next time you wish to visit Buena Vista. BTW, if your cell has wifi ability you can use wifi to make calls. This is also why the owners provide a landline for guest use.

Beautiful, Spacious Oasis

This home is perfection for a family get away. It has a little bit of everything, and so much room to spread out, explore, and be in nature. We loved absolutely everything about this property, it’s amenities, all of the room to spread out inside of the home, the location, the VIEWS, the creek…I could go on and on, but I wouldn’t do this place justice. We’re truly hoping to return in the years to come. You won’t regret staying here!

This is our favorite getaway. We’ve been twice now, and are already planning round three. This property and home are unmatched in space and beauty. Literally everyone in your family can be appointed their own “wing” to sneak away to. The setup is phenomenal, I can’t rave about it enough. The views, the way the light shone through the house windows…just GORGEOUS. We enjoyed nights outside by the fire, exploring the water & nearby trails. We hiked, read, completely disconnected, and retuned home to the city completely refreshed. The home is so well appointed, and we had everything we needed and more. Also, the deer, bunnies, and hummingbirds were pure magic. Thank you for hosting my family once again. We cannot wait to come back!

Best property in the Chalk Valley

Great house with a stocked kitchen. The house was very clean. The huge field out back was great for watching the herds of deer. Chalk Creek runs behind the field. It’s a very pretty stretch of water and one night we saw a moose walking through the creek. Amazing stay. My out of town friends were blown away at the beauty of the valley.

I booked this home for my entire family for a 90th Birthday party for my dad who lives in Buena Vista. The home was perfect for us. We had 6 adults and 4 children. Each couple had their own bathroom plus a 1/2 bath in the main area. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have privacy. The setting was beautul. Outdoor activities for everyone. It couldnt have been better. Highly recommend this place. We will come back!

A++ rating!!

Our group loved this cabin and we would definitely stay here again! Our favorite area was the big backyard and patio, and we really enjoyed the bocce ball and shuffle board that was provided. There’s plenty of seating for everyone, inside and outside. The kitchen and bathrooms are very well stocked. Plenty of parking for trucks and trailers. The cabin is in a great location. The scenery around the cabin is breathtaking and it’s easy to get to. There’s plenty of shops, restaurants and grocery stores close by. Our group came to the area to ride utvs and there’s a good selection of trails close by! We enjoyed our stay and we hope to make it back in the future!

Many great things

We enjoyed this location and the outdoor spaces were wonderful. Our family had a great time. We did feel, though, that it is not accurate to represent the house as having five bedrooms. It has three bedrooms, it has a bed in a second kitchen and it has a pull-out couch. The Master Suite is terrific but is located right off the main room, can’t be locked, windows on door with curtains offering no privacy. Suggest some changes to make that a more private spot.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Oct 2020
Jeff, thank you for taking time to review the property. The owner is always open to client feedback. Since your stay the master suite has had blinds installed for those who don't enjoy the private views and morning sun. As with most mountain properties that are on the creek they are older and have been added on to. Again they are working on remodeling and they have also updated many things inside. We hope you come again and and see the updates.

We found the accommodations more than adequate.

Great place. Perfect for two couples and three kids. How can’t tell you how excited the kids were to run in the snow outside. We had two living quarters that allowed both families to have their own space and meet in the middle for meals and games. We found it especially convenient for skiing. Monarch was forty minutes away. Ski Cooper an hour away and Copper less than an hour and a half. We had our choice of towns to go eat dinner plus the hot springs were only three miles away. What a location!! Thanks Renee for helping make our spring break so wonderful.

Nice, quiet and spacious

The owners were very easy to communicate with when I had questions before our stay. We had a problem with the lights in one of the rooms. I sent a text to the owners at 9pm. He came right over to fix it. No issues at all. Very kind of him! This house had a ton of room for all of us and we never felt like we were invading each others space. Plenty of room to spread out. Lots of walking space around the outside and a nice little trail and stream behind the house as well. Very pretty land!

Family vacation

Plenty of living space! Two kitchens two living areas but only one of each was used. The master bedroom/bathroom was good except the entry to the room had full windowed double doors with sheer curtains on the doors. Those doors opened to the main living area. The bedrooms on the other side of the house were odd in that they didn't have proper doors either. The house really needed another bathroom to match the sleeping capacity. We had six adults and six small children. The kitchen was great and the pantry was awesome. The location, setting and privacy was first class. It has the potential to be a homerun place if some of the odd quirks inside were addressed. The bedroom/bathroom situation probably would not have been OK if the children were older. The location was 20/30 mins. from Buena Vista. Not bad. Lots of hiking trails near by. Plenty of mowed area behind the house for the kids to play. It was quiet with no close neighbors and little traffic. My suggestion would be to turn the older extra kitchen into a bathroom, put proper doors on the secondary bedrooms and widen the hallway where those rooms are.

Thanks for your feedback which will be passed along to the owners. We realize that this may not be a space that you would choose to live in, however, it is very functional as a vacation rental which is what the property is intended for. Adding a bathroom is not a simple procedure here in Colorado as the property is on septic which would require a complete redesign of the septic system and leach field. In spite of the eclectic features this house has to offer, we anticipate that you did enjoy your stay and will consider returning in the future.

Chalk Creek Cabin

My family has been coming to this area for over 70 years and were thrilled to return again this summer. The Meadows cabin was very spacious for our group and we all had our own little areas, but spent a lot of time gathered around the big table. It does get warm during bright sunny days and temps over 80, but just remember to close all the blinds before you leave for the day. Nice little walk to the creek- but only saw deer in the meadow once and they were just running through. We had everything we needed - and really like this location close to fishing, OHV trails, Buena Vista, and Salida. One bedroom floor is a rough concrete slab and the adjoining bathroom has a slanted ceiling and a bit claustrophobic. Lots of windows which made for nice sleeping when open- but very bright beginning at about 5am and warmed up quickly. We were also disappointed to learn that Buena Vista/Chaffee County have removed all their public recycling convenience centers in 2021 and the property owners do not pay for recycling services.
