Planning Your Recovery Stay: Where to Rest and What Your Family Can Do in Creede

Riverside cabin at the Antlers Rio Grande Lodge near Creede, Colorado

Part of what makes Destination Surgery special is where you recover. Here is a quick guide to the three places to stay and the things your family can enjoy nearby.

Three Places to Stay

The Windsor Hotel, Del Norte: a beautifully restored 1874 landmark with private baths, complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi, close to Rio Grande Hospital and steps from downtown Del Norte.

The Antlers Rio Grande Lodge, near Creede: cabins and rooms on 70 acres along the Rio Grande, with a riverside restaurant, a hot tub on the river and Bristol Head Peak overhead.

Dragonfly Flats, Creede: a renovated Victorian with four flats in the heart of Creede's dining and arts district, within walking distance of everything.

Things for Your Family to Enjoy

Fly-fishing on the Rio Grande.

Hiking, jeeping and mountain biking in the Rio Grande National Forest.

Horseback riding and rafting nearby.

Creede Repertory Theatre, which stages plays in rotating repertory from late spring through September.

Shops, restaurants and the historic mining town of Creede.

Tips for a Comfortable Stay

Ask about ground-floor rooms and step-free entrances when you book.

Plan for a companion to stay with you for the first days after surgery.

Bring loose, comfortable clothing and supportive shoes.

Creede sits at nearly 9,000 feet, so pack layers: mountain mornings and evenings are cool, even in summer.
