This is a beautiful home on the river. We have stayed in the past and can’t wait for another trip out. My mother fell very ill while we were here and the host were unbelievably understanding. I can not say enough great things about this property and its owners!
This cabin was worth every penny! Absolutely beautiful! The cabin itself was roomy, fully stocked, and one of the cleanest cabins we’ve stayed in. The location of the cabin was perfect! Close to town with a deck butted right up to the river. Check in and out was a breeze. I definitely recommend this place!
Stayed for the weekend, just 4 of us so we had tons of space. Close enough for a visit to the sand dunes! The deck right on the river is really the highlight of the cabin, we had a great stay!
We have been visiting South fork for years to ski at Wolf Creek and we all agreed this was our favorite house we have stayed at. There were so many thoughtful touches and overall the cabin had a wonderfully cozy and comfortable vibe. We love to cook and the kitchen was great. Watching the river from the dining room table was lovely. Highly recommended!
The location for a guys hunting trip was perfect! Being so close to the river for occasional fishing was really fun!! After a long day in the mountains, we had the best trip hanging out at night in the cozy retreat. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen accommodated all our meal prep. Thanks for a fun get away!

What a nice way to unplug & become a part of nature!
Great house. Great location.. House was super clean and well stocked. RIGHT. ON. THE. RIVER.It is also close to the road. Would be sure to have a noise machine if you need it for sleeping.
The house was beautifully decorated and all the amenities of home. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. The notebook telling the history of the family cabin was an awesome read. Location was excellent. We rented our ski's from Rocky Mountain Ski & Raft, which was located directly behind the cabin. We are planning another trip for the summer to try rafting. Also, another ski trip.

The cabin is a dream! Right on the river, we could fish daily before or after the big hunts. It's comfortable and fully stocked with everything you need! It's our second year and we will be back! Definitely a bit of heaven!

I spent almost a week with my family in this beloved area of Colorado. The location of this house was perfect. secluded, yet easy to access roads for hiking and fishing adventures. My family truly felt at home and enjoyed eating some meals out by the river and sitting on the deck overlooking the river in the evenings.

It was lovely. Right on the South Fork of the Rio. Sits on the main road through town but traffic noise isn't too noticeable. Easy access to lots of activities. Kitchen very well stocked. We'd love to come back again!

This house was perfect for our ski vacation! The drive to wolf creek was only about 20 minutes. We had plenty of room for the 7 of us. The entry room was a nice bonus to keep our shoes/boots and ski gloves dry/warm for the next day. The kitchen had a great selection of seasonings, appliances, pots, wine glasses, etc. The 2 separate living areas gave us plenty of room to spread out! We would highly recommend staying here!

This property was a hidden gem. Despite it being off the main drag, the floor to ceiling windows in the back provides an oasis. The views of sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. We were very pleased with the communication with VRC and the cleanliness of the home. The kitchen was well- stocked with all of the essentials ...and more. Our family skied at Wolf Creek and this property was an easy 20 min drive. This property has a “warm room” for your ski gear that was fantastic. Don’t overlook this property for your visit. Just do your research since it is a small town.
