Great Location
Home had everything we needed.
The closed in porch was perfect for our dog in the evenings, especially since he is an outside dog.
Was in an ideal location for four wheeling access to both sides of the highway.
We really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood in the evenings.
Thank You

Cozy and spacious for family of 4
We loved the cozy yet spacious cabin and the outdoor property! Our family of 4 had plenty of space inside and enjoyed the deck. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and serve meals, including appliances and a grill. I really liked the location- just on the edge of the town of South Fork with close access to fishing spots on the Rio Grande and Beaver Creek. a coffee shop, and a wonderful Mexican restaurant, and an hour drive to the Great Sand Dunes. It was the perfect location for our trip through CO. The host was quickly responsive to all of our questions!

Quiet and beautiful scenery
Beautiful home, plenty of room , very well stocked with EVERYTHING!! We were concerned with this being our first VRBO with no air conditioning but the nights were very cool and slept well! Check in and out process was great and host beyond accommodating.. the only thing that would make it more enjoyable would be having a washer and dryer but there’s a laundromat in town. Very quiet at night and beautiful during the day!!

Great for our Christmas vacation!
We had the best time staying in South Fork for our Christmas vacation this year. We went skiing at Wolf Creek Ski area 3 of the days- it was a short and easy drive to and from the mountain. Would definitely recommend!

South Fork
Everything was as advertised. Great scenery, cozy little warm house. Great walking area with lots of deer down out of the high range.
My only request is that the downstairs bathroom should have a tall oval toilet that would accommodate handicap and tall people better.
I would highly recommend this house.

Wolf Creek Ski Weekend
The cabin was as shown on VRBO. All the beds we used were comfortable and there was plenty of extra bedding if you would have needed it. There were many common spices available which I did end up using. We had no reason to contact the owner but my impression from his welcome email made him seem ready to help with any thing we might need. I would recommend this spacious mountain home to anyone.
