This rustic, creekside cabin will take you back in time, and is perfectly located for access to the Arkansas River Valley or assaults into the fourteeners, just outside. Hortense is named after Hortense Hot Spring, just up the canyon from us —the hottest natural spring in the state. Hortense has three bedrooms, a kitchen, sitting porch and great room.

Hortense is about 15 minutes from Buena Vista, and 20 minutes from Salida. Chalk Creek Canyon lies between Mt. Antero and Mt. Princeton. The Colorado Trail is 100 feet from the front door.

Depending on spring flow, the pools may not be totally full upon arrival but should be full by 4 pm. However, even if partly filled, you can certainly soak when you arrive! We refill pools for your stay to ensure you have the purest most beautiful water in the world.
