This was our first trip to South Fork and staying at this cabin on the river was a blessing to my kids and grandkids. Our family enjoyed the outdoor living area and great access to fish the river. We’ll be back this summer

This was our second week-long stay at the cabin and it was even better than our first stay which is saying a lot. The kitchen was sparkling clean and it is such a pretty setting right on the river. We slept with the windows open and listened to the river and heard owls and the geese. As the snow wasn’t great for skiing my husband only skied three days. The last two days we went into Creede annd South Clear Creek Falls and the final day we spent going to Treasure Falls. We sat on the porch and down beside the river every day. Great star gazing as well. We are already looking for future dates.

Property was great location for our ski trip to Wolf Creek. Easy drive to the mountain. Being on the river was another perk. Cabin was perfect size for my family of five, plenty of the room. Hope to come back.
