The cabin was very easy to find & hosts communicated often. Cabin was very clean and ample supplies: linens, towels, kitchen utensils, etc. We loved the outdoor space on the river with several chairs and lounge for outdoor seating.

Great Stay!
Wonderful location and beautiful setting. We really enjoyed sitting by the river.
Great place to stay with the family and look forward to staying here again. We only wish the fire restrictions would have allowed us to use the fire pit down near the river.
Great place perfect for a family getaway. Clean, spacious place with river access, grill, fire pit, lawn chairs, patio, board games, fully equipped kitchen. Perfect place for our anniversary with our dogs. Will come back in the future.
This cabin was a wonderful location for our family. The location is great right on the river and the cabin had plenty of room for us and our two kids. Would stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a cabin in the woods and right on the river.
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely, clean and well stocked cabin. Our hosts were super friendly and very welcoming. This is the perfect cabin to relax at after a day of skiing!

This is a beautiful well appointed cabin perfect for relaxing beside the Rio Grande river. The owner communicated very well making it easy to check in/out. Cabin had everything we needed.
Two night stay in a quiet cabin in the mountains. Cabin exactly as listed, no surprises. Instructions and communications with property owner were very clear and professional.
Amazing experience for our family! Well stocked and plenty of room for family! We cooked meals, played games,and fished in the river. Very nice fire pit b!!rubber and gas
Great stay. Best location for access to everything.
Very clean. No issues at all. Very friendly hosts. This is a great location for access to everything thag part of the state has to offer. We will be bookong again!
We came to South Fork for a wedding located in Creede; however, we wanted our stay to be a vacation as well. This cabin was perfect for us because it gave us the opportunity to enjoy the river between other activities around the wedding. The cabin was comfortable and we were surprised to see all of the fun outdoor seating options that were available so we can have fun outdoors during our stay! We had a great time!
This beautiful cabin along the tranquil Rio Grande river is such a relaxing retreat. The outdoor space and views were magnificient. Also, the cabin was very clean and comfortable. We saw a young mule deer, osprey and those adorable little prarie dogs as you turn into the driveway. Our biggest regret is that we did not book a longer stay. We will definitely be back. Melissa does an awesome job and is very easy to work with. Thanks for everything!

I’m blessed to have had this privilege to take this vacation with my amazing Husband.
This was the most relaxing place to stay. Deer upon entering,the sound of rolling water, the smell of a camp fire. No words can describe how excited and happy I was in that spot on the side in the river with the amazing views. I’m truly blessed and grateful for my husband for this trip.
