Two families were able to enjoy this house and each other for a week in this home. There were 10 adults and 2 teens and plenty of space for everyone.The view if the mountains and access to the Rio Grande made this the best place we’ve stayed while in South Fork. We especially enjoyed the large family and kitchen area for our group, and the kids took advantage of the game room and games. The kitchen was well equipped for our family needs. We made all of our meals in the house. There was plenty of room for parking, and checking in and out were easy! We will definitely try to book this place again!

Great place to stay particularly if you have a large group. Ample room for all!

We really enjoyed our short stay, great location with easy access to world class skiing at Wolf Creek and close enough to spend a relaxing evening in the historic mining town of Creede. We had so much fun and definitely will return next year!

This is a wonderful house off the Rio Grande river for retreats, vacations, family reunions, and more. The owners are very hospitable and eager to help.
