Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Kenny & Kathy-working in Houston, TX, married since 1977, visiting the Wolf Creek Pass area since 1992 and the state of Colorado since the year that we were married and went on our first vacation together.
Why the Owner Chose South Fork
We love the mountains of Colorado and the South Fork, Creede, Wolf Creek Pass area. The feeling of peace and majesty driving into the area is so comforting. We found ourselves going back year after year. We now find that it is a great place to bring family and friends or just visit by ourselves.
The Unique Benefits of this Home
There are also fun activities, excellent dining, cute shops, awesome views, and wildlife galore. We hope that you will enjoy staying in our home and visiting the area as much as we do. We look forward to you coming back to visit year after year.
Wishing you safe travels,
Kenny and Kathy

Guest writes, "From one fellow Texan to another thanks for your southern hospitality. We had a wonderful week in South Fork staying at your home. We fished the Rio Grande and took three trips to Creede. We are not known as 'Creedeons'! We couldnt get enough of the homemade ice cream and fennel cakes from the Firehouse in Creede. The shopping was great too. We enjoyed an outstanding dinner at the Swiss Chalet in South Fork. Our weekly wildlife sighting included elk, deer, turkeys, prairie dogs, big horn sheep, coyotes, and several chipmunks."

Our other two children and their familes had nearby houses and we ate dinner together and had much fun! The house was very comfortable and we know it must be a joy to own!"
