Quiet Homey Neighborhood!
We were not disappointed with the location & amenities of this cabin. Very comfortable & great layout of the rooms. Back yard backs up to the national forest so we enjoyed beautiful views. Thank you, JoyceAnn for being such a gracious host!

South Fork Cabin
Our cabin was just as presented online. We arrived a little early to the area and the property manager allowed us to store our cold goods early. We purchased firewood and had many cozy evenings in the comfortable space. Already planning on coming again and will try to stay here first!

Ski trip at Wolf Creek
We took friends and teen boys skiing at Wolf Creek for the 1st time. We enjoyed our trip immensely with the exception of the altitude. Took a few days to adjust. The cabin was cozy and perfectly setup. The master closet was cold but we didn’t use it much. The host was so kind and helpful with our needs. We loved the town and hope to visit again next year.

Enjoyable stay
My family and I enjoyed our stay at your cabin. The space met our needs perfectly. We required wifi for work and it worked great. We were very pleased with the tankless water heater. With a family of 6, it was wonderful not to run out of hot water! Watching the deer roam the neighborhood was a highlight of our trip! The only negative was the overhead light in the kitchen being out and the light in the vent hood also not working. We were pretty much cooking in the dark all week. Overall a very pleasant time!

Clean and spacious cabin
While this cabin is on the older side, it was very clean and well cared for. There is a lot of space for a family or two to gather. Our son loved the kiddo room and we loved the remodeled master bathroom and closet. The towels and sheets were also nice quality, which is appreciated! We saw a lot of bunnies and deer grazing in the neighborhood, which is very quiet. I agree with other reviews that it would be an amazing addition to have a deck or patio on the back of the house to enjoy the forest view. The house also stayed nice and cool! Overall we really enjoyed it!

South Fork Getaway
Comfortable, clean. Everything we needed. Enjoyed seeing the deer in the evening when we walked or drove through the neighborhood. We were visiting friends in a nearby RV park. Did some fishing, took the rail bike group tour on the tracks, visited the Last Chance Mine, visited Pagosa hot springs and walked the shops in Creeds. Fun week.

Great Location! Cozy cabin!
Very comfortable, huge master bedroom. All the amenities you need. Very clean. Deer came to the front and back yards multiple days. Nice “neighborhood” to walk around or hiking right behind the house. All but the “backyard” was accessible for our daughter with a physical disability, but we knew that going in. We enjoyed the front porch sitting area just as well. Quiet area. Loved it. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay for skiing at Wolf Creek.
Property was just right for a family with small children. Easier to access Wolf Creek Ski Resort as opposed to coming from Pagosa Springs. Roads were good even though we got a huge amount of snow. Kids loved the snow and the wildlife. Deer came right up into the front yard several times.

Host? Not so much
Place needs upgrading. Oven was filthy, and on arrival the freezer and water from the sinks had a nasty odor. Host said “just run the water.” That fixed the water smell, but the freezer stunk as did our ice. But the worst was when Netflix locked us out and I asked for assistance - “just use your own account” the host replies. Nothing, not one thing on the living room tv worked. No big deal when out during the day but would have been nice in the evenings. Who tells a “guest” just use your own account? Really? What if I don’t have one? It’s an amenity, and it ought to function. We didn’t need to use it in August, but the fireplace is listed as an amenity too…with the caveat that it shall not be used under any circumstances. Guess it’s just there to look good. We won’t be back.
