Very good

Everything was great, however the trash bins were never emptied from a previous stay and the water never got very hot for the master bathtub. When I asked they told me to turn the faucet on. On fully hot, it was only lukewarm. The access/entry code given didn’t work either, had to call management for a new entry code.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re glad to hear that overall your stay was great, but we’re very sorry for the issues you encountered with the trash not being removed prior to arrival, the entry code not working, and the hot water not reaching an adequate temperature in the master bathtub. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating those issues would have been—especially at check-in.
We also apologize that the initial guidance regarding the faucet was not helpful in resolving the temperature concern. We’ll be reviewing each of these points with our team to ensure better preparation, clearer communication, and proper maintenance moving forward.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to host you again for a smoother stay.
Loved the river, the views, quiet, beautiful sunset, great proximity to other activities, ie horseback riding, rafting, fishing, beautiful scenic drives through the mountains!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay.
Once you notified us about the door code and ice buildup, our team was contacted immediately to address both concerns. Guest safety is very important to us, and we take reports like this seriously, especially during winter conditions where ice can develop quickly.
We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention so they could be acted on, and we’ll continue working with our team to ensure systems and exterior areas are monitored closely during colder weather.
This was our third trip to south fork. This property was amazing and very spacious. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

The house was a great place for our family vacation. It’s located right on the the Rio Grande River. We were able to fly fish and kayak right from the house. I would rent this house again.
This place was very nice! There were a few minor issues we noticed upon check in but nothing that affected our stay and we let the property manager know as we found the issues and always received a response.

Hello Jeremy! Thank you for staying with us and for your kind feedback. We hope to host you again!
This house had everything that everyone wanted for their vacation! Family of 8 adults enjoyed every minute. For the loungers the oversized living room with picture windows right out onto the river or the full length porch with river views was the perfect book reading and crocheting spot. For the active, walking the 30 steps to the river to fish or hike on nearby walkable mountains was any easy fit. The kitchen was ample for cooking all our meals including a grill out back and having full size laundry facilities available was a welcome bonus. 5 rooms was plenty with a room to spare. House was clean and well kept and we'll be back.
Beautiful location ! Beautiful home . Just a few hiccups that could have made our stay nicer , trash cans were already full when we arrived which made in very inconvenient. The balcony railing is broken which is very dangerous

We loved hosting you at Due North, Natalie! We value your feedback about the trash and railing. Our team has been notified of these concerns. We hope you’ll stay with us again in the future!
The mansion had room for everyone and 3.5 baths! It was really clean and had everything you would need for staying there. It was situated right on the river. Wildlife (Deers) was seen everyday. Not even a mouse to be found, so no worries. Everyone enjoyed the Cabin/Mansion :) Would definitely stay here again!

This was a great place to crash while we were enjoying local snowmobiling great set up. It’s worth noting two of the bedrooms are access through the garage, which was fine we just did not realize that was the case.

Hello David. Thank you for staying at Due North! We appreciate the feedback, and we will be sure to make note of the bedroom configuration in our listing description. We hope to host you again soon!
We enjoyed our stay! The property worked out great for our large group. Conveniently located close to town, right on the river & a short drive to Creede.
The only thing I would recommend would be a few more accessories for the kitchen-serving utensils, bowls etc.
Otherwise, the property was wonderful!
Great location and facility! The river is right outside your back door. Also reasonably priced. We had two couples and one single so each group had a floor to themselves. Close to Creed where they have top notch professional theare. We went in mid August so just know that at the end of the summer there are very few restuarants open in the evening at Creed or South Fork. I would definately suggest this place for families and large groups.

Hello Angela-I hope to provide more info for you here about what you experienced for future guests. We have a year-round pest control contract and they are always willing to come out and treat for pesky critters that find the home inviting, which has been treated again since your stay. The visit from the chief was regarding a permit process already in progress with the city and not of concern. We regret that you were visited in that way, and would love for you to come again to scenic Due North!
Cabin was a nice surprise. Great view of the Rio Grand River. Cabin was extremely clean and well equipped kitchen for meals. Maybe replace hand held can opener lol! Beds were very clean and comfortable. We had no issues so no need to call/notify management.
Bring at least one large container to store bread, chips and things of that nature. There are mice (never saw one) on the property, but that is no surprise since there are 2 structures being built a little ways from the cabin. Plenty of towels and other supplies. Will most definitely rent this cabin again. The river view is wonderful with really nice fire pit and seating!

We couldn’t checking intel 3 hours later, no heat from the fireplace or heater a week later someone came and fixed the fireplace, heater was never fixed, The master bedroom saw dust falls all the time, you wake up with saw dust in your mouth and ears. Unwind doesn’t want to refund one day since we left early due to the issue or discount. Do not rent anything that is managed by Unwind.

Hi Linda. We value your feedback about the home. We have addressed all concerns with our management and maintenance teams. Safe travels!
Beautiful location on the river. A large cabin that was perfect for a large family group. This is a newly built cabin built with unfinished wood. So be careful about getting splinters when holding onto handrails. The other concern was several mice in the cabin. We understand we’re out in the wilderness, however, a recommendation would be that plastic storage bins be provided to prevent mice from getting into food in the cabinets. These concerns did not prevent us from enjoying our vacation. The rental company was also quick to respond to the concern about the mice and scheduled a treatment to take place right away in addition to the monthly treatment.

Thanks for your review, Rebecca! As you stated, we have remedied the pest issue with our additional service call for our year-round contract. Thanks for allowing us the chance to take care of you and we are so glad you enjoyed Due North!
The bottom bedroom with the queen bed was awful. There were obnoxious clicking noises all night long, I’m assuming from either the water heater or room heater. The house could use an iron, strainer and ice cream scoop. The fire place was not working and not mentioned beforehand. Not only was it not working but a really cold draft blew through it, so much so that they tried covering it with plastic wrap.

Hello Jennifer. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced and we appreciate your suggestions!
Great looking log home in outstanding South Fork location just steps away from the Rio Grande. Spacious living room and veranda. Easy access off highway. Very clean.Disappointment: Microwave did not work; gas fireplace did not work; Signs in garage said it was not to be used even though the listing said garage available; Electric blinds did not work and were stopped in down position so views could not be fully enjoyed; Outdoor gas grill could not be used as it had not been cleaned and was disgusting. Many light bulbs not functioning including master bath vanity and light fixture over master bath garden tub. Drawers in kitchen and bath cabinets were very difficult to open and some did not have knobs or pulls. Downstairs bedroom did not have a closet. Upstairs closets did not have rods for hanging clothes. Non master baths had only small pedestal sink with no counter space. Certainly a great location but not a very accommodating layout for our group of 8. We would not return to this property.
