Reviewer Comments:
We had a great experience in this rental. It’s located conveniently within South Fork and about 15 miles from Wolf Creek. Everything about the home was cozy and the amount of space was great for 10 adults. The management company was very communicative and helpful with every question we had. Would love to stay there again.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience and that the home was cozy and spacious enough to comfortably accommodate all 10 adults — that’s exactly what we hope for with larger groups.
Being so close to South Fork and just a short drive to Wolf Creek Ski Area makes it such a convenient spot for both relaxation and adventure, and we’re glad you were able to take full advantage of that.
We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication — it’s always our goal to be helpful and responsive. We would absolutely love to host you again on your next trip!

House is amazing. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The location makes it super easy to go do activities during the day and to sit on the porch in the evenings soaking up all of God’s beautiful creation. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely book again.

We had a wonderful stay here! Two families (9 people) and it was very spacious! Amenities included were great and the location is perfect! Easy drive to Wolf Creek to ski. The house was very clean and had plenty to do to keep our kids entertained indoors and out. We will definitely be staying again.

We had a great stay - great house for several families. Pleasantly surprised at the toys and books available for the kids and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need to feed a large group.

Thank you for that great review! We tried to think of everyone big and little. We are so happy that we could be part of your vacation and look forward to your future stays.
We rent houses through VRBO all the time, this was one of the best houses we have stayed in. Layout was great for multi family, large living area, use of garage and large decks. Very convenient to Wolf Creek and trails. We will stay here again for sure!

Very nice and clean property. Well stocked with all the comforts of home and a beautiful deck with the river flowing in back yard. We enjoyed our stay and will plan to return.
My wife and I brought our families to stay here for a ski trip at Wolf Creek, and the house was perfect for us! We had plenty of space, and we were all comfortable. I would highly reccommend this property to anyone going to South Fork.

We had our adult children and their spouses in addition to good friends (8 adults in all). The house is perfect for a large group and is only 20 minutes from Wolf Creek ski area. The house is spacious with an outstanding kitchen and a large great room. We’re already planning to rent it again next year!
