We loved the outdoor view, enjoying the large patio and fire pit for the whole family, and the cozy indoor gathering spaces! Beautiful and peaceful area for a quiet get-away!
We had a great time at this property with 3 families with adult children. It was perfect to commute to Wolf Creek to ski. We enjoyed everything!

Close to perfect
This house was perfect for our group. It is spacious, clean and located very close to the healthy trout population in the Rio Grande. We enjoyed our stay very much
This was a fun trip for myself, and my six children, and some of them even have children of their own play Stadium, the majority of the time and enjoy each other’s company while cooking eating and having fun.
This is our second time staying here in the past few years and we would totally do it again! Beautiful property, great location, and plenty of space for kids of all ages or run and play. We enjoyed doing a campfire in the evenings. The kids rode the bikes all over the property. The big kitchen was helpful for preparing meals. Loved it!

Hi Amy, thank you for providing us with this valuable feedback, we are so glad that you had a wonderful time at our beautiful home!
The property was wonderful.The only big negative is that the commode in the bunk house stopped working. I reported it and the property manager reached out to me but then never did anything about it.

Nice place but serious problems such as no running water for 1 night. No appropriate compensation.
The house was great, but the problems outweighed the house. We didn't feel we were compensated for the loss of running water.

We appreciate guest feedback as an opportunity to improve, and your insights have been noted. It was a pleasure having you as our guest, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Our stay at the Cougar Canyon Main and Bunk House was fantastic. The venue and management accessibility exceeded our expectations in every way. Both homes were deep cleaned (spotless!) and well equipped to house and prepare/serve meals to our large group. It is truly a beautiful place to stay, both inside and out! We will definitely return.
Property looked abandoned and not like a vacation cabin.
There was no patio table or chairs anywhere.
Grill was dirty and on its last leg.
Bunk house had dead flies all over.
Great property. We had a large group (12 adults), the property had space for all of us. Beautiful area, deer and rabbits in the yard and on the mountain right behind the house daily. This was our first winter vacation. Would love to go back during summer for a completely different experience.

A perfect place for a large family to come together!
This beautiful, yet laid-back and cozy, home provided a great environment for adults to visit and children to play, both inside and outside. Arrangements were very comfortable for everyone. Great spacious location just outside of South Fork and tucked up close to the mountain.
We went as a family- our kids and grandkids to this beautiful cabin in South Fork!! We had an amazing time and the cabin was one of the main reasons for how nice our stay was!!

Great space!
There was ample space for our group! Lots of these places sleep a lot but feel very crowded. Cougar Canyon never felt crowded for us. Loved our time there.
Spacious, clean, great location to travel to Creede, Pegosa Springs, and Lake City. Lots of things to do in the area, great hikes for all ages, beautiful scenery, quiet and peaceful location.
This is our third time to rent this property! It is beautiful and spacious and the views are spectacular. It is a short 25 minute drive up the mountain to Wolf Creek Ski Area, our favorite!
Great place with close proximity to fishing and mountain trails. It was great because it was large and separated from neighbors. Had lots of grand kids riding their bicycles all over the property. We had camp fires and enjoyed smores and conversation. Also played all sorts of games. Hiking is right outside the back door. This property wqas great.
It is a great place to stay for large groups and we feel very much comfortable as it has enough room for all of us. It has nice scenery around the house with mountains and we can hike just in the back yard.
The bunk house was nicely decorated and it has separate kitchen over there as well. Water and WiFi facilities are perfectly provided and we did not get any interruption.
Also the groceries and gas available near by.
As it is summer, mosquitoes were everywhere outside. We should have carried the mosquito repellents. Except the mosquitoes, we had a very nice vacation!!
We enjoyed our stay. Perfect for a large family gathering. Equipped with everything you need. Beautiful country setting w/ easy access to main road for attractions and scenery, and shopping. Highly recommend this for a stay in Colorado.
