Great

Loved the property. Loved the host. The power went out for nearly a whole day. The host re-located us to another vacant property until the power came back on. She was super accommodating to help us even though the power was not their fault !

A amazing location on the river. Great space for hanging with family/friends. The place is not brand new or stocked with the latest the greatest but it’s a classic mountain retreat that is comfortable and convenient. Will return.

Beautiful Christmas

This is our second time staying at Elk House and we love it! The house is a perfect size and in the BEST location. We had a minor issue with the TV as soon as we arrived and Joyce I startle took care of us. She also checked on us regularly! Just some other minor issues that need to be fixed to make it over the top. We will definitely be back!

Family trip to South Fork

Although the showers have been updated, it was clear upon arrival that the house needs some attention and tender loving care! This was our third time to stay at the house and we were surprised and disappointed to see there were issues that had still not been resolved since our last visit in 2019. I’m not comfortable posting them all here but am sending a private message to the host. Despite our disappointment with the house, we enjoyed our time in beautiful South Fork.

Beauty of the Rio Grande and Mountains

We had a wonderful stay at the Elk River House!! It had such a beautiful view of the mountains and the Rio Hrande River was right out the back door. We enjoyed fishing in the river and the kiddos enjoyed the hot tub and making smores in the evening. It was so relaxing and the weather was so comfortable to sit out on the porch. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Elk River House!!

Great House!

Elk River House is amazing! It is in a beautiful location right on the river. Very spacious and it worked out for all of us. The decor is spot on for the area and that staircase is a work of art! The kitchen and dinner room is spacious and fully equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub and watching the river flow by. JoyceAnn is a great host and communication was flawless. Noticed that we were out of propane for the BBQ the first night and they ran over to make sure we could BBQ our steaks. I highly recommend booking this house! You won't be disappointed.

The pictures do not do this house justice

This house was beautiful and spacious. My husband and I along with my son and my in laws a total of 15 people had plenty of room. The view of the river is amazing. If you meet our little chipmunk friend he likes sunflower seeds, peanuts, and trail mix. You can’t get a squirrel in Texas to trust you like that little chipmunk did. We recommend and would stay here again.

Pictures don’t do this house justice. It’s beautiful inside and out! Plenty of room for our family. Garage is huge and has plenty of space. We used the hot tub each day which was overlooking the river. And it’s only 20 minutes to go ski! Might come back down in the summer to use the back deck and do some fishing. Definitely recommend.

Very relaxing

We have stayed at this property several times and have always enjoyed. This time was no different except that the property definitely needs some maintenance. Dishwasher needs to be mounted, deck needs repair, window shade replaced and window in kitchen repaired. This really did not affect the quality of our stay but at $500+ a night I expect upkeep. I was impressed with new showers and the fire pit. The dog pen was a great addition as well. I also enjoyed the newly planted flower beds. The dog next door was annoying but I understand you have no control over that. Maybe the pooch will be moving because that property is up for sale. House heats up during the day but cools off enough to sleep at night but must keep the windows open. Kitchen was stocked well with utensils and cookware. Overal we really love this property it just needs some tlc on the outside and a few things on the inside. Also could use a good power wash on the outside. The hot tub wired fine but again could use a new cover and some maintenance to the surrounding box thing. We will stay there again.
