Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort
This 100-room lodge on the banks of Chalk Creek features 24-hour access to the hot springs. Guests have a choice of cliffside, poolside or lodge rooms, each with two queen beds. Cliffside rooms have back decks with views of the surrounding mountains. Poolside rooms are convenient to the family pool. Lodge rooms are convenient to the on-site spa and the Princeton Club restaurant.
The hotel was completely remodeled in 2004, and 10 log cabins were added along the creek, which are available for rent. The cabins feature kitchenettes and sleep up to eight people. Cabins have a king-size bed downstairs and two queen beds in the upstairs sleeping loft.
Recreation
Guests at the resort have access to three hot-springs fed pools, as well as numerous smaller natural hot springs pools along the river. Numerous hiking trails are within a three-mile radius of the resort, including the Colorado Trails and trails to the summits of Mount Princeton and Mount Antero. In winter, many of these trails are open for cross-country skiing.
Details
In 2009, rates at the hotel ranged from $75 to $400 a night.
