Great stay

The house was very nice. Updated and comfy beds. I even looked up the bed in the Master and tried talking my husband into buying me one :) My sister and her boyfriend stayed in the other king sized bed and she said it slept good too.

Fabulous spot

What a unique property! Everything we needed and some extra perks that we loved. Close to Wolf Creek. Plenty of room for our family of 4. Clean, comfortable, felt like a home. Full kitchen, king sized beds plus a fold out couch, and heated floors in the bathrooms. We absolutely loved our stay and are excited for our next visit! Lauren was very accommodating and helpful! Highly recommend.

Excellent Stay. Thoughtful Hosts.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The owners were incredibly responsive and made sure everything was perfect for our visit. The kitchen was stocked with all the usual amenities and a ton of extra thoughtful touches that made cooking and dining so convenient. What really impressed us was when we accidentally left something behind— Laura went above and beyond to promptly arrange shipping for it. Truly outstanding hospitality. We highly recommend staying here!

Everything you need and more

This house has everything you could need. The beds were very comfortable. Shower had great pressure. Fenced backyard for our pup to enjoy the cold weather. Large fireplace and plenty of wood. Privacy with excellent window coverings. (I always hate staying somewhere where I have to end up putting a blanket over the windows - this house was perfect!) very easy to commute to from Texas. 25 minutes from Wolf Creek Ski area and about an hour from Pagosa Speings for the hot springs. Inspired us to find a house in the area - we fell in love with South Fork.

Beautiful, Peaceful Place

My spouse and I are senior citizens who were looking to escape the summer heat in Tucson. This was perfect for us. We’ve stayed in many rentals in the past. This was by far the nicest. What was especially nice was the quality of all the furnishings and decor. This is the 1st place I’ve stayed that had beautiful dishes in the kitchen and great linens. Our dog loved the fenced backyard. When I had questions, the host was always available and fun to talk to.

Loved the vibe!

We loved everything about the place! The rugs, the decor, the vintage/boho vibe, the plants and the fireplace were amazing. The beds were super comfortable, slept great! Kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of space to cook. Only thing I regret was not being able to play ping-pong or darts, just too cold in the garage. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

The Best in South Fork

Our host was very nice and communicative. When we arrived at this handsome house located in a beautiful wooded lot everything was superb. Very clean. Many new appliances and features to the house. You can tell they did a major renovation. Everything was easy and the host was extremely helpful with questions about the area. We are going back soon. We highly recommend this ideal vacation spot.

Great spot, relaxing and quiet!

We loved our stay! Lauren gave very clear instructions for check-in and was quick to respond to any questions we had which we really appreciated. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful with big trees and views of Beaver Mountain, also great proximity to Wolf Creek Ski Mtn (20 min drive). The house is lovely, very clean, well stocked - especially the kitchen - with some really nice amenities (king beds in both rooms, electric recliners, and we loved the fireplace). It was just the two of us but the house could easily host a group of six. We will definitely stay again and would love to visit in the summer too! We highly recommend this place and Lauren is a great host!

Didn’t want to leave!

I’ve stayed at lots of rental properties and this was my favorite by far!!! The details in every room were incredible. They didn’t miss a thing! It cozy, comfortable, and clean! All the appliances were top notch and easy to use. The windows and lighting were perfect. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook and make a great meal or bake. The plants throughout the home were a nice touch and made it feel so homey. The deck outside had a great table with an umbrella, as well as an easy to use fire pit for those cold evenings! Also, it constantly smelled amazing thanks to all the doTERRA! I would 100% recommend this house to others and hope to stay here again soon!

Tranquil, Cozy & Well Appointed Home in South Fork

My family loved our stay! The home is in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space for parking, we had 2 cars. we are fairly discerning when it comes to comfortable beds and these were top-notch with memory foam and lots of pillow options. This is especially appreciated after a hard day of skiing in Wolf Creek, which is a short 20 minute drive. It was fantastic to wake up in the morning and have coffee available for guests, a nice touch. We cooked dinner one evening, and also surprise to find that the kitchen is extremely well stocked with utensils, as well as spices and olive oil and other basics that are really appreciated and often not available in most rentals. We enjoyed gathering around the woodburning fireplace in the living room in the evening and relaxing on the huge recliner. It was also super convenient that the host provides access to a washer and dryer. The house is very spacious, but super cozy. Highly recommend if you’re coming to the area to ski! hope to be back in the summertime to check out the mountain biking.

About the host

Hosted by LAUREN STEEL

Host profile image
Aloha and Welcome!

Originally from Hawaii, I now proudly call Colorado home. My husband and I have been coming to Southfork, Wolfcreek, and the San Juan Mountains for over 25 years, and it's become a special retreat for us. We love spending time outdoors with our two dogs, exploring all the adventures the area has to offer. In the winter, you’ll find us snowboarding and cross-country skiing, while in the warmer months we enjoy mountain biking, hiking, and backpacking through the stunning landscapes.

Beyond outdoor activities, I have a passion for cooking, gardening, and, of course, champagne! Hosting has been a joy of mine for the past decade, giving me the chance to connect with wonderful guests from around the world. I personally manage our properties to ensure every stay feels welcoming, and I’m always happy to provide recommendations to make your visit even more memorable.

Thank you for taking the time to check out our home and photos. I would be honored to host your stay and am here to answer any questions you may have.

Mahalo,
Lauren

Why they chose this property

It's a quiet and established neighborhood. The proximity: It is the one of the closest neighborhoods to Wolfcreek Ski/Pass (only 20 mins!). We can walk or a quick couple mins drive to the Rio Grande River. I like there is a public river docking area where you can drop off/of load your boats/raft/kayaks. We are only 3 mins from restaurants and local grocery store. We are also only a few minutes from the Rio Grande Golf and resort. There is much wild life in the neighborhood where you can regularly see: Deer, wild turkey, birds, and a large tree nearby with a committee of Turkey Vultures!

What makes this property unique

This is a one level rancher surrounded by large trees (not many properties in South Fork have treed lots). It is convenient to all the outdoors has to offer but still close to local restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and rental/outdoor outfitters shops. We have a long U shaped driveway for easy parking for multiple cars, RV, boats, etc... We have a garage to park one car.
