A Core Trail In Oak Creek? Welcome News for South Valley
As Steamboat continues to pave the way for development for both the city and the ski area, Oak Creek has jumped on the bandwagon and is proposing a wonderful idea to develop the creek that the town shares its name with. This greenway and walking path will enable access to the creek and offer a walking path through the town behind the existing businesses. The business will be able to open up back patios and offer a more appealing aesthetic as the town continues to grow and change.
The south valley continues to create a special place for the citizens of Routt County. The south valley is working extra hard to attract long-term residents and make each small town unique. We implore you to visit the shops and restaurants that the south valley has to offer. We may be a small valley with a skiing problem, but we are continuing to elevate each and every local center that the County has to offer.

Oak Creek votes to place cap on short-term rentals
As its neighbors to the north are six months into a debate over how, when and where short-term rentals should be allowed in Steamboat Springs, the town of Oak Creek is having its own conversation, hoping to get ahead of what town board members said is not currently a huge issue but could be in the future.
Town Board member Bernie Gagne first raised the issue with his fellow board members in 2019, as he noticed more short-term rentals popping up in the city and wanted to avoid what he called “a problem as big as Steamboat’s.”
Then, at their Aug. 26 meeting, board members voted unanimously to enact a series of rules about short-term rentals in town. An ordinance now breaks the town into three zones, and only allows five short-term rentals per zone, effectively limiting the number of short-term rentals to 15.
Those who want to operate a short-term rental must also obtain an annual license from the town, and rentals may only be operated on the property of a primary Oak Creek residence, which the town determines based upon a resident’s address on their driver’s license.
Property owners will also have to provide parking, fire safety and snow removal plan to be evaluated by the Oak Creek Fire Protection District.
Oak Creek Mayor Nikki Knoebel said the ordinance aims to protect Oak Creek’s small-town charm and family appeal while still honoring the choice for residents who wish to leave town and rent out their house or who have an unused garage or basement that they see fit for a nightly rental. “With Steamboat starting the conversation, we wanted to make sure that we went into it educated and had these requirements in place before it became a problem,” Knoebel said. “We thought this was a good middle ground.”
