This is the second time we have stayed at this home. Overall it is nice place to stay. The home has a nice kitchen and living area. Really like that is located on a large lot. Plenty of room to park and a great base of operations for off-road vehicles. All 3 bedrooms have queen sized mattresses with a full-sized foam mattress toppers, makes the bed a bit uncomfortable to for 2. Good Internet access via wifi.

Great house
I loved the house. It was perfect for what we needed. We would ride sxs all day long so coming home to a nice comfy house was awesome. Lots of room on the property for the kids to play and roam. The porch was so great to sit out and drink coffee in the mornings and look at the mountains. The two stories made a nice place for the kids to have their own space too. Lots of storage. The kitchen was fully stocked with all kinds of utensils and cookware. This house was just a beautiful place to spend a week in Colorado. Plus if you are a sxs rider you can ride to some of the trails from the cabin.

Good location to South Fork
Nice size home. Dogs allowed. Water pressure was super low. Did not leave any extra toilet paper or paper towels which was disappointing as that was not disclosed anywhere that we needed to provide our own. Disappointed you can’t use the wood stove. Beds were okay. Poor attempt to put an egg crate foam pad on the beds - wrong sizing on all beds. So unless you sleep dead center, you will be half on half off. Kitchen well stocked with cooking implements. Garage will not fit suv or full size truck.

Vacation
The listing said there was a new grill, it is not. The burners are shot. Needs new grill. We had to buy toilet paper because there was only one extra roll. The dish washing soap is very cheap stuff. Light bulbs are out in most of the house. No wash cloths in the upstairs bathroom. Overall it was a nice cabin. Too nice for the lack of items above.

Maybe AC?
Overall- nice stay- the AC doesn’t cool any rooms so we were sweating even when we gave up on the AC and tried to open windows at night. I would not stay here again unless the AC was working efficiently. Also, I feel that towels and rugs need updating overall and there are not a lot of dishes/utensils. Great location and very well built cabin that feels homey. Just needs a little fine tuning. Other than the ac and sleeping all week in heat…it was good.

This was OK, but...
First I would like to say I am a property manager in Colorado and we (wife, dog , son, etc.) have stayed in the South Fork / Creede area for years, and it's one of our favorite areas in CO. Second, Vacasa of South Fork is truly outstanding at what they do. Their communication is off the charts and they are responsive to a flaw. This is the case every time we stay with them. Regarding this stay, we came down for a weekend getaway. I don't mean to take my frustrations out on this place, we did have a nice stay, but I get frustrated with homeowners putting their homes up for short term rental, taking my money, (considerable amounts of it BTW) and not treating it like a business by putting money back into the property. Sorry, but I feel taken advantage of. Pots and pans are fairly inexpensive, make sure theres a full set, same with knives. Pillows are cheap, thin and stained don't cut it. If the screen door is often broken (based on prior reviews) replace it. Mattresses in a hospitality environment need to be changed every 5 years. If theres a light in the bathroom that does not have a switch and must be on 24-7, put a darn switch in. Overall we did have a nice stay, the lot and area afforded lots of privacy, which we like, but I would not go back at this prices.

Great location even if road needs help. Missed having a dishwasher but the views were the best. Great oversized property, even room for RV and trailers. Beds were the best. Would do it all again.

Cannot recommend
We stayed in this property a year ago and it was incredible. We had a fantastic time and rebooked for this summer. At that time it was just switching to a Vacasa managed property. This year, it was poorly stocked, the majority of cooking equipment was missing, basics like hand soap, salt, and sugar for coffee were missing or in very short supply. There were no dryer sheets for doing laundry, and several of the utensils in the drawers were dirty. We reached out to Vacasa by text and phone call (left a message) upon arrival at 4pm (they say they are in the office until 6pm) and never heard back the whole week. It's cold and sterile and not well stocked. We will not be staying in a Vacasa managed property again.

Overall disappointing
House needs some work!! Screen door broke, washing machine leaks, half of the blinds are broke, couch is shedding fake leather and gets all over you. House was not clean when we arrived, looks as if a 5 year old attempted to clean this place. No cleaning supplies in home except a vacuum so had to go buy cleaning supplies to clean it our selves. Look elsewhere definitely not worth what I paid for two weeks. Disappointing

Price and Furnishing Disappointments and Upside
I was unhappily surprised at all the additional costs to the base nightly cost. The furnishings were awkward: lack of outlets for electronics, uncontrollable vents and night lights, no end tables, dishwasher, or garbage disposal, operating problems with window louvers. Upsides: Nice views, quiet, comfortable beds, very clean.

The peace and quiet. Love the cool weather and rain showers. Nothing like the smell of spruce and aspen after a rain. Plenty of room to stretch out in this cozy cabin
