Step outside to breathe in the fresh alpine air, listen to the water flow, and watch the light change over the mountains. This is where relaxation begins.
A Touch of Colorado History:
Creekside Retreat sits in a small historic settlement dating back to the Colorado Gold Rush. You’ll even find old Prospector’s Cabins nearby — a reminder of the miners who once searched for gold in these same hills. If you’d like to try your luck, you can still pan for gold in the creek! Because the creek runs through private property, guests are also welcome to fish without a license — a unique and peaceful experience you won’t find often in Colorado.
