Cozy cabin in winter for family of 6

The kids enjoyed seeing deer and wild turkeys everyday in the neighborhood. Great location for skiing at Wolf Creek. The space was fine for 3 adults and 3 small children (under 7) but would have been too small for bigger kids/teens. Cleanliness of the kitchen and common areas was mediocre.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

What makes this property unique

We love that this true log cabin backs up to the national forest. The views from the back sitting area looking out into the aspens and pines in the national forest are stunning. The side and front porches also have great views. The kitchen has been updated, and the cabin is wonderful.
