About this property

Riverfront Paradise - Minutes from Wolf Creek Ski Area

Private deck overlooks the South Fork of the Rio Grande. Take a short trail to scenic Million Reservior. Surrounded by national forest and hundreds of miles of trails for ATVs, mountain bikes, and backpacking. Gold Medal fishing in the area. Secluded atmosphere, yet just 2 miles from shopping. With new carpeting and wood floors, this cabin is clean, comfortable and well equipped, with lots of room to spread out in. Log beds, and new furniture, large outdoor deck, complement the mountain views!

Leave the crowds and high prices of the Summit area behind and ski Wolf Creek (20 minutes), the most snow in Colorado and still the cheapest lift tickets. Cabin is located 2 miles up Beaver Creek Road off Highway 160 at South Fork and only 1/4 mile from paved road...the road is plowed to the front door!

Ski trip 24-25

We were here to ski Wolf Creek and explore. Location is great, it needs a deep cleaning, layout is good, strange to have the dryer in the beadroom away from washer. It will do. Pleanty of beds.

The house was perfect for our big family. My only complaint is it didn’t seem like the floors were vacuumed before we got there! Not an issue with the stay though!

Adventure Headquarters

Dan's place is the perfect size for our large group of ten to act as a base camp for exploring the area on our motorcycles. Fully stocked kitchen, variety of sleeping areas, and a large relaxing front deck. This is our second stay with Dan because it fits our needs so well. There was a surprise visitor, we're assuming a bear, that had knocked over the dumpster and spread trash everywhere before we got there. It just took us a little while to get everything back in order. Luckily, we had no run-ins with the bear while we were there!

Wonderful location

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We had 2 couples & 5 children. The kids had a great time at the river. We rode our side by sides straight from the property to the trails and rode over 250 miles in the week we stayed there. There is a beautiful lake really close by and the fishing was excellent. South Fork was a great place to go if you want to get away from the crowds. The only negative was a few areas could have been cleaned better. The upstairs bathroom shower and the kitchen. I think people before us put away some pots & pans that were still dirty. Overall, I would stay here again!

Perfect Location; Excellent Experience

The house was exactly what we expected and better. It’s unpretentious, not fancy, not overly modern, but just what we needed as a family on a vacation to southern Colorado. It’s within minutes of the Beavercreek Reservoir, and the Big Meadows Reservoir, great for fishing with Kids. One of our best experiences yet. We will come again!

Perfect location!

The perfect location for our family outing. Cabin was as advertised with plenty of room and amenities during our stay and great communication with the owner. The fire pit, gas grill, and backyard river access for fishing and wading was fantastic for all ages. Very close to town, stores, and several restaurants. But it’s all about the great outdoors and this place offers breath taking views and close to great hiking at multiple trails and fishing at Million reservoir. We will be back!!!

Hunting and vacation stay

We were here to hunt and to have a vacation and enjoy the stay in Colorado. The cabin was nice, it was dated and could use some updating. We did find a few things that would have been a better opinion of the house, and that is, it could have been cleaned better and that the dishes were cleaned. I might find another house keeper. Just a thought. We did enjoy our visit and we always love coming to Colorado!

Nice location; needs cleaning

While the cabin was in a nice location and the owner was very responsive and helpful when we had some pre-trip questions, the cabin was not the cleanest, especially upstairs. Also, we had lots of snow/precipitation and there is no gravel/concrete parking so it turned into a sloppy mess.

Great location - Dirty Cabin

Cabin location was great. Heaters barely work which wouldn't be an issue if the wood for the stove wasn't buried in snow. Cabin was almost unbearably dirty. Scum in all the bathrooms. Not acceptable, especially during the times of covid. Property manager rebuttal not necessary-we will not be back.

Dirty

This cabin is in such a great location, but we showed up to a disgusting house. There were crumbs on the tables, floors and couches. Stains on the walls, the showers were dirty (and the upstairs shower leaks down into the bedroom ceiling below). Just a general lack of cleaning and maintenance throughout. Patio furniture and chairs were falling apart and probably a liability for the owner. We spent a good 3 hours cleaning before we even settled in, not a great start to our get-a-way. Also there was a propane grill but there was no propane.

Highly disappointed!

Lots of dishes were extremely dirty, sheets on one of the beds were full of fiberglass shards and my brother woke up itching like crazy, mold in showers, stairs were not shoveled and we’re covered in a massive ice block, smoke backdrafts out of the chimney through poorly sealed window into one of the bedrooms upstairs.

Needs a little TLC

Loved the location of this cabin. The cleanliness of the cabin left a lot to be desired. Used contact lenses on dresser. Did not look like the floors had been cleaned upstairs or down. To the owners credit, I did call him about this and he offered to send the cleaning lady over in the morning. The picnic table needs some serious attention and the bench by the front door I would say just remove it as there is no seat left in it.

Should be cleaner

1). Started off with confusing booking dates. July 31 to Aug 5 was our dates. Three days before leaving, they send info, dates were through Aug 4. Another saying Aug 6. Being scare we’d be short on our vacay time. I’d booked another home from 2 nights. Finally calling the owner, he was confused on our dates too. Finally they got the dates right, had to cancel our home. 2). Arrived at the home, nice room and plenty beds, BUT it was dirty and needed maintenance on several things. Thinking this man needs a better housekeeper. 3) we enjoyed our family time between at the home ad Fun Valley.

Not the best for the price we paid.

The check in process was very easy. The door handle is missing some keys but the ones that are there are the ones you need so I guess not a big deal. This property shows way better in pictures than it looks. It is well use for sure. Nothing is updated. The washer is in the hall. The dryer is in the master bedroom closet. So if you short good luck at hanging cloths in there. All the bathrooms were old. They looked clean but the shower curtain in the big bathroom on bottom floor was moldy. None of the shower heads work. The need some serious cleaning or changed out. They sprayed every way but on you or they were pelleting you with the other setting. The water was good and hot though. The upstairs bathroom shower door was very hard to get open my mother in law almost got stuck in it because she couldn't lift it to open it. I think the upstairs shower is leaking into the the bottom room that doesn't have a bathroom. It was very hot when we got to the house there was 1 fan so we had to go buy some to cool house off. There are a few ripped screens so big got in at night. There are no instructions that are up to date about the house or what to do to check out. The carpeted stairs could use a vacuum they have hair pilled up in the corners. This whole house could use a deep clean from the ceiling that is covered in dust hanging to the corners of all the floors. It was ok for what we needed it for but not what we paid alot of money for. Also all the board games are dumped into a chest in the living room. You could have lost of fun figuring what puzzles the hundreds of pieces go to. I wish I could post pictures. We have stayed in other houses in South Fork and they have been way better taken care of with keeping the rustic older charm of the houses around them.

Why they chose this property

There is no place in Colorado more scenic then South Fork, and our cabin is setting in the middle of one of the nicest location in the area. After a few days at the cabin, you will not want to go home.

What makes this property unique

My favorite time is the early spring or fall when i can get up early, get my cup of coffee and walk down to the river or Million Resevoir for some great trout fishing.
