Perfect Location

Loved this little cabin. It’s the closest rentals to Wolf Creek Ski resort that we could find. It was enough space for our family of 4. The living and dining room could be bigger, but it worked. The only complaint I had was there were no coffee filters. Seems small, but that needs to be noted if the coffee maker is listed as provided.

Well-apoointed cozy cabin with great view

Loved the location, view and appointments at this cabin. Easy access to Hwy 160 and close to Wolf Creek Ski area. Clean and well-stocked with plenty of towels, basic amenities (like TP, dishwashing tabs, etc.) and the woodburning stove and hot tub are great perks. Beds were comfortable and central heat was appreciated during the cold week. Would stay again!

I loved the quiet mountain views. The hot tub was a nice touch as well. We had a great time there! The cabin was very clean and friendly with lots of space. We brought some DVDs and had some movie nights with the fire it was a good time. Would recommend and even come back!

Great Getaway

This place was just what we were looking for for our weekend away! The space was very clean and homey. We loved sitting on the front porch in the morning to enjoy the view and watch the blue jays. This place is also a short drive from Big Meadow Reservoir which was SO beautiful. We will definitely be back!

Ponderosa in south fork

Overall a pleasant place to stay for a few nights. The little cabin was clean and cozy. The down side is the traffic on Wolf Creek pass can be heard inside the cabin. There is a black widow living under the wood burning stove. The bathtub is very slow to drain. I would book this for a weekend getaway again.

Drafty windows/ Heater issues

All, The place was in a great location and very clean. The windows are very drafty need to be replaced or sealed. One room had no heat (not even an electric heater) and there were no extra blankets. The temps during the weekend were around -12 to 12 deg. It was very cold.

The Ponderosa

We recently rented the Ponderosa. The location was great! There was a pond and access to the river in walking distance. The pond had two peddle boats. The cabin was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen needs a facelift. We took food to cook, relax and enjoy the cabin I expected better pots and pans. I get that it is a rental, but for the price, it should have better cooking accessories. Other than the kitchen, it was a great place to stay.
