Thge main living area on the first floor will be a dream for those that like that rustic feel of a classic cabin, as the wood stove, high vaulted ceilings, and mounted furs will get you into the simpler mindset in no time. After a full day of hiking and exploring the surrounding area, there will be no better place to reminisce than out on the back deck with a glass of wine in hand. When everyone works up an appetite, the fully equipped kitchen has everything needed to prepare your favorite recipes and the whole gang can gather nearby at the breakfast bar or dining table. Don't hesitate to kick back on the plush sofa and watch a favorite show on the cable TV as the stars come out!

Just okay
We cut our stay short because it was not a great. The hot tub did not work and was dirty (had bugs and sediment in it). We called to have it fixed. They said they would send someone out the next day but it still did not work. Only a half roll of toilet paper in the main restroom and no extra. The shower curtain had what appeared to be purple shampoo splattered on it.

Cute property
The property was nice. It was great for what we needed & was easy, comfortable and clean. It was in a little more of a residential area than expected, but overall a nice place to stay.

South Fork Cabin
We loved the cabin. It was better than advertised. The kitchen was well stocked. Our only complaint about the cabin was the flimsy floor mats that easily rolled up an tripped you. Better mats should be put down before you have an injury because of them.
We had an issue with the coffee maker and the fact that there were no trash bags. We contacted property management, they were quick to respond via text, but did not follow through.
Overall, we would love to stay here again. The cabin was very nice.

Overall great! Great drive up to the mountains.
Had a great time! The Air Bnb was overall awesome! My only tip would be to invest in new beds as they are awful, feel like they’re spring loaded and 25 years old. But that didn’t stop us from having a 5star time! The food around the house isn’t very good but there is a grocery store to make your own food and if you drive to pagosa springs you can get AMAZING food! (Alley house). Would definitely stay again, the hot tub is great! We spent every night in it. Just buy new beds, you can get some nice ones for like 600-1000.

Family Vacation
This cabin was perfect for our family vacation. There was enough room for the 5 of us to have our own space but still enjoy time together.
