We spent Christmas vacation there and of the 7 day stay there were only 2 that we stayed actually at the cabin all day. The cabin is very pet friendly, our Yorkie goes where we go. The days spent in, we enjoyed the games available and TV for Christmas movies with the grandkids. Clear instructions posted on the fridge and states any problems the host can be there very quickly to help out. Within 10 minutes from downtown South Fork. We would definitely stay there again.

Great for our Christmas vacation!

We had the best time staying in South Fork for our Christmas vacation this year. We went skiing at Wolf Creek Ski area 3 of the days- it was a short and easy drive to and from the mountain. Would definitely recommend!

Shangri-La

Great home: Clean, comfortable, all necessities provided. Great host: Responsive, reliable, accommodating. Great value: Very reasonable nightly rate especially in comparison to other local rentals. Why would you choose a small cabin on top of other cabins and located next to busy main streets when you could rent this clean 3 bedroom home in a quiet neighborhood? I would definitely stay again if I was in the area
