My girlfriend, brother, and my two sons truly enjoyed the Chalk River House during the July 4th week. The Buena Vista-Salida area is spectacular; even though I've been visiting Colorado for over 25 years, I had never seen the Arkansas River valley and the Collegiate Peaks, and we all agreed that we must return ASAP. The house itself was very comfortable and clean. Three full, private bathrooms and a half bath in the loft were key. The location next to a roaring creek, and the firepit by the creek, were special. A few minor things were lacking (e.g., a cutting board in the kitchen, girl shampoo in the bathrooms), but overall a wonderful and memorable vacation. We'll be back. Thank you. DAC
