SALIDA, Colorado – As summer travel plans take shape across Colorado, Creekside Chalets is welcoming guests to one of the Arkansas River Valley’s most scenic and accessible lodging destinations. Located just west of Salida and a short drive from Monarch Mountain, the property offers pet-friendly cabin rentals, creekside accommodations, and a laid-back atmosphere designed for travelers who want more than a standard hotel stay.

“Many travelers are looking for more than just a place to sleep,” said Jillian Chernofsky, Owner of Creekside Chalets. “They want a comfortable home base where they can relax, bring their pets, spend time outdoors, and create real memories with family and friends. That’s exactly what we’ve built here.”

Lodging Options

• Pet-friendly cabin rentals for guests traveling with dogs and family pets
• Creekside cabins and camping options for travelers wanting a closer connection to nature

Year-Round Recreation

Winter: Monarch Mountain sits just minutes from Creekside Chalets and offers something increasingly rare in Colorado — uncrowded slopes, affordable lift tickets, and a laid-back atmosphere that families and ski clubs keep coming back for. Beyond the resort, the valley delivers cat skiing, tubing, snowmobiling tours on Monarch Pass with Monarch Snowmobile Tours, and cross-country skiing on Old Monarch Pass Road, making it one of the most well-rounded winter destinations in the state.

Summer & Fall: The Arkansas River Valley is bucket-list territory for outdoor enthusiasts. The Monarch Crest trail on the Colorado Trail is widely regarded as one of the greatest mountain bike rides in the country, while nearby 14ers draw climbers of all experience levels throughout the season. Add world-class whitewater rafting and fly fishing on the Arkansas River, and a thriving live music and arts scene that has earned Salida a reputation as one of Colorado’s most vibrant small towns, and you have a destination that rewards every type of traveler.

Creekside Chalets sits at the center of it all — a peaceful, creekside home base that returning guests rely on season after season, whether they’re coming for a family reunion, a ski club weekend, or a solo adventure in the mountains.
