Awesome as always!
This is our second time to stay at the retreat, and we loved it as much as the first time. Plenty of room for 2 large families, and the view of the river/mountains can't be beat. Love this place!

Our go-to place to stay!
This lodge easily houses our group of 15-20 every year for our annual ski trip, and it has plenty of space to relax, play games, cook, and eat together. The owners are easy to communicate with and friendly people. We hope to return year after year!

Great Wedding Venue!
We thoroughly enjoyed Rio River Retreat for my daughters' wedding! The owners were great, friendly, and responsive! There was plenty of room for everyone and the barn was perfect for the ceremony and reception. I recommend this venue!
We used this property for our wedding. The lodge held all of our friends and family comfortably during the event (27 total), and 14 of our guests stayed with us at the lodge during the week with plenty of space for everyone to do their own activities. The grounds are beautiful with the river literally right behind the back deck! Melissa was very communicative and helpful before and during our stay. If you are used to having AC, make sure you bring a fan or two- we were not prepared the first night!
We had three families with a total of 12 people stay here and there was lots of extra room. We played games and cooked dinner each evening in the dinner/living room. Pool and foosball tables were fun additions that are downstairs. On top of this, we got lucky with a lot of snow to play in. South Fork is a relatively easy drive up to Wolf Creek each day.

Perfect Mountain Getaway – A Hidden Gem in South Fork!
Our group had the most incredible stay at the Rio River Retreat in South Fork, CO. This massive wood cabin sits right on the river, creating the perfect backdrop for a winter getaway. Whether we were warming up by the fireplace after a day on the slopes or just soaking in the peaceful surroundings, every moment felt like a dream.
The cabin itself is beautifully maintained, spacious, and well-equipped for a group stay. Plenty of room to spread out, yet cozy enough to bring everyone together. But what really made our stay special was the hospitality of the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel truly welcome.
If you’re looking for a stunning, relaxing, and well-run retreat in the mountains, this is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be coming back!
The lodge was great, fit 25 college guys in it comfortably. The hosts were helpful and communicated with me quickly. Would definitely recommend this lodge for a big group.
Accommodations were wonderful house very clean! Great access to South Fork and surrounding towns would stay there 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!
We had a large group of 22 people and were very pleased with the Lodge. We had part of our group stay at the cabin within walking distance and it worked out great for us!
The house was just right for our family of 17 people. It’s beautifully located on the river.

Wonderful Accomations for retreats and vacations
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. They paid attention to our group and noticed that we had a Kansas connection, which made us feel noticed and welcomed. Thanks so much for the stay!
What a great property for our group! The cabin is spacious and very open which allowed our large family (14+) to have enough room for everyone. The house was very clean and the owner's communication was very timely. We would stay here again.
