Lovely cabin on the banks of the Rio Grand.
The cabin was lovely and comfortable. Plenty of seating outside to watch the river roiling and the wildlife wandering. River was high and swift from snow melt and daily rains, but beautiful in its’ own way.

Great Spot for Wolf Creek Access
This is a nice cabin/small house just of Hwy 50 and right on the river. It is well appointed and kept. It's on the east side of town away from the traffic and the pricing is great for what you get. I'll stay here again.

Great location for area activies
Great cabin with plenty of sleeping options, well-stocked kitchen, grill, deck, and fire ring near the river. Our group of 5 men cooked plenty of meals, used the grill, and chilled on the deck...after 2 long days of fly fishing in the area. Would definitely come back.!

Wonderful Cabin
I booked this cabin for friends of mine that were married in Creede and spent their first night here. They said everything was perfect and having the Rio Grande right there to listen to was magic. Thank you for the great communication and the help making their stay so special.

Relaxing stay
The cabin was perfect. The proximity to the river is a big plus. We spent every morning drinking coffee by the river. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. The fire table on the deck was a nice addition. If we come back to South Fork we will definitely stay at this cabin. Mellisa and Dan have done a good job in makeing your stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Nice little cabin
Having now stayed at both the lodge and the cabin, I can say the Rio River Retreat properties are top notch. Have everything we needed and the feel of being “by yourself” while still being close to everything. Highly recommended. Michael

Wonderful cabin by the river
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Plenty of space for the family and was so comfortable. The gas fireplace was a nice add as it was too cool and windy to have a fire down by the river. Kitchen was well equipped as we cooked all our meals vs going out. Recommend South Fork! The owner was very responsive to our questions.

Beautiful cabin right by the water
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!

A delightful time.
We stayed at the cabin for a few days of downtime as a family before Christmas and it was perfect. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked for simple meal prep, and plenty of space to kick back on the sectional sofa for games or a movie. We will definitely return for a more skiing and making great memories as a family in South Fork. Thank you Dan and Mellisa.

Quick Weekend Trip
We loved this property! As my teenage daughter said ... cutest cabin ever. The location is perfect for getting to the ski area quickly and we loved that it was on the river. We hope to go back when the weather is a bit nicer (less windy!) so we can enjoy more outdoor time by the river. This is also the cleanest cabin we have ever rented and the property manager was great with a ton of helpful information.

Tranquil Beauty
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!

Rio Retreat stay
This was such a perfect experience for us. We only stayed two nights to help break up our trip home from Montana to Missouri. I’ve stayed in lots of cabins throughout Colorado and this one was by far my favorite. Right on the river and with glorious views. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the more south western region of Colorado, but it was absolutely breathtaking. The drive to Pagosa Springs was absolutely gorgeous. The cabin was spacious well priced and had more than enough amenities. I try to stay at different places every time we go, but I could definitely see myself staying here again.

Amazing Cabin
Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed staying at the cabin. We experienced significant snowfall for two days and with young children, we were limited to skiing partial days. However, we made the most of our time at the cabin by playing games, watch John Wayne and Hobbit movies and just hanging out with no agenda. Due to illness, we ended up staying an extra day. Kids loved staying in the loft and we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. Melissa was very responsive and accomodated all of our needs. Highly recommend staying at this property. View was fantastic.
