Mountain Cabin on River with Hot Tub & an Island
Permit# STR-1008
Whitewater Lodge is the riverfront vacation home that dreams are made of! With strong natural light and riverside views, this home features an array of amenities and features that will make your vacation unforgettable. From the spacious game room to enjoying the peaceful ripple of the South Fork of the Rio Grande on the private island gazebo, the Whitewater Lodge will make you want to come back to South Fork again and again.
You'll immediately feel at home within the open layout on the main level. The main level living room has vaulted ceilings and a warm gas fireplace that is the perfect place for your whole group after a fun day at Wolf Creek Ski Resort. The spacious kitchen layout has everything your group will need to whip up dinner in the gourmet kitchen while looking out onto the river vista, featuring stainless steel appliances and all the dishware you'll need for a perfect meal. The dining room seats up to 10 guests at the large table, plus three more at the breakfast bar. Off the main entrance, step onto the back deck to view the hillside and river ambiance. This is the perfect place to relax and stargaze. If you prefer to stay and entertain at the house you will find the detached game room which has exactly what you are looking for with a large fireplace, ample seating, large projector screen, dry bar, pool table, and shuffleboard.
Vacation Entertainment Options Situated at the gateway to the San Juans, Whitewater Lodge offers a perfect mix of privacy and seclusion while having all the conveniences of the quaint town of South Fork within a walk or brief drive. When everyone builds up an appetite from hiking or river activities, local hubs such as Rachel’s Keep On Keeping On Coffee Stand and Bar (a great stroll to start your morning), Two Rivers BBQ Restaurant, Ramones Mexican, and Mountain Pizza & Taproom will hit the spot in nearby South Fork. Guests can enjoy the close proximity of the Rio Grande Club & Resort with golf play and two restaurants open to the public. Enjoy nature with spectacular views when you take the mountain bike out on Beaver Mountain Trail, Tewksberry Trail, or Trout Trail. Need some bait for tomorrow's fishing trip, or just throwing some lines from the island? Just head over to Wolf Creek Anglers and Rio Outfitters (both just walking distance from the home) for all the bait and tackle you'll need.
This Property has a New Outdoor Hottub to soak and relax after a great day of Mountain Adventures.

We took our son and 4 of his friends to this cabin to ski Wolf Creek. The location is excellent, and the view from the back of the cabin is amazing. The interior space was amazing, and the hot tub was well-maintained.
The property was as advertised, spacious, in an attractive location on the river, with great amenities for diversion and relaxation: propane grill and hot-tub (operation took some getting-used-to), adjoining game room with pool table Check-in was easy and clear,
This is a really nice house in a very scenic yet convenient location. The property mngr. is local and very responsive. We enjoyed staying here and would come back again.
The location was perfect. We had a great time in the game room and hot tub. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. TVs and projector screen were easy to operate. Tankless hot water heater andboot warmer were pluses. No complaints with this home and would stay here again.
This is hands down one of the best places I’ve stayed yet. The game room kept us entertained the entire stay. The view is spectacular with the river and mountain in the back. The house was well stocked with pretty much anything you could need. The location of the house was also awesome. Ski rentals, restaurants, and grocery stores were pretty much walking distance. The host is very easy to communicate with and will help with any problems or needs. As long as this place fits your needs, I would go out of your way to book this beautiful place.

Needs a thorough cleaning
Unfortunately, the cabin was not clean. The kitchen sink had crumbs in it. The coffee maker and stove were dirty. There were a few cob webs but the worst part was all the dust bunnies. They were on the fans (especially the upstairs bedroom fan), in the window sills and on the ceiling above the stove. We also found trash in the house from previous people.
The entryway to the house and to the game room was not scooped and was very slick. This was an accident waiting to happen and a liability.
I booked this cabin because of the game room and thought by kids would enjoy it. The pool table was nice but the table video game and shuffle board were both not in operation, which was not mentioned in the listing. The hot tub was not operational either.
The location was nice and easy to find. The cabin would have been nice had it been clean.

The cabin was amazing. It was beautiful. The game room was definitely a bonus feature with shuffle board, pool table, an arcade game, a big projector screen, speakers for music, colored lights but we couldnt figure out how to work them. Then you had the river front with the island gazebo that was a gorgeous setting. The hot tub was great on the cold nights. The porch is a great place to just sit and watch the sun set. The inside of the cabin is beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes. And kathy at the reality office was super nice and easy to work with. The only reason this place did not get a 10/10 is because it was lacking in cleanliness. When we first walked in the cabin looked very clean. But when we were getting ready for bed our sheets and pillow cases were dirty. Then when we took a shower our towels smelled liked wet dog. In the game room, i started sneezing and coughing a lot and my throat became itchy and swollen, the blanket over the back of the couch was covered in animal hair, which Im allergic to. Inside the cabin when I took my socks off they were covered in animal fur. The reality company definitely needs to hire better cleaners. Other than that, this was the perfect cabin!.
It was the perfect stay for our July 4th weekend with family. We enjoyed waking up in the cool morning, drinking coffee on the deck, and listening to the river. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed.
We had a great time at this property, well suited to visit the Sand Dunes and Pagosa Springs. The game room and fire pits were a huge hit with the kids. Waking up in the morning beside the river was extremely relaxing. Would highly recommend!
Lots of accommodations are close to town and it is a beautiful cabin

The property on the river has so much potential but lacks serious pride in ownership. We have stayed at many of the hosts rentals and have to say this oneneeds LOTS of TLC 360 degrees.

It was a great weekend away but the heavy rain caused the river to flood. Therefore no fishing,just whitewater. The cleaning crew didnt remove a big pile of trash from the game room. The TV in the geroom was broken. When you pay this much for a weekend one would expect perfection. In a positive light the beds were very comfortable and cabin kitchen was well stocked. All in all we had a great time.
We stayed two nights and found the house to be well stocked and nicely located. We enjoyed walking to the funky local coffee shop in the morning. One thing that needs to be updated: the king size mattress in the primary bedroom sags terribly in the middle.
Great place to stay. Had a small issue , one call and management immediately responded.
Cons -house needs a deep cleaning. Dust, dust, dust.
Hot tub - out of order. Didn’t see that posted on rental advertisement. Was posted in info book of house.
