About this property

Riverfront Paradise - Minutes from Wolf Creek Ski Area

Private deck overlooks the South Fork of the Rio Grande. Take a short trail to scenic Million Reservior. Surrounded by national forest and hundreds of miles of trails for ATVs, mountain bikes, and backpacking. Gold Medal fishing in the area. Secluded atmosphere, yet just 2 miles from shopping. With new carpeting and wood floors, this cabin is clean, comfortable and well equipped, with lots of room to spread out in. Log beds, and new furniture, large outdoor deck, complement the mountain views!

Leave the crowds and high prices of the Summit area behind and ski Wolf Creek (20 minutes), the most snow in Colorado and still the cheapest lift tickets. Cabin is located 2 miles up Beaver Creek Road off Highway 160 at South Fork and only 1/4 mile from paved road...the road is plowed to the front door!

Response from VrboOwner on 8 June 2026
Matt claimed the cabin had mold from a small hole left from shower that leaked upstairs and his family had severe allergies. After talking to him he admitted he didn’t have any proof. In 25 years of renting we have never had anything close to mold.i offered to address any cleaning issues but he refused to be specific. I have more bookings than any cabin in the area and 90% are very happy with their stay. There are a few that have unrealistic expectations.

The house was perfect for our family. Being able to ride utvs right from the house was a bonus. The house was exactly as described and we didn't find anything wrong with it. The kitchen had everything we needed for our meals and we are a family of homemade meals. Check in was simple get the code and go inside and start enjoying. We would rent again and there are several lakes close by for fishing, win win!!

Short ski trip

The house was perfect for our big family. My only complaint is it didn’t seem like the floors were vacuumed before we got there! Not an issue with the stay though!

Perfect Location; Excellent Experience

The house was exactly what we expected and better. It’s unpretentious, not fancy, not overly modern, but just what we needed as a family on a vacation to southern Colorado. It’s within minutes of the Beavercreek Reservoir, and the Big Meadows Reservoir, great for fishing with Kids. One of our best experiences yet. We will come again!

Ski trip 24-25

We were here to ski Wolf Creek and explore. Location is great, it needs a deep cleaning, layout is good, strange to have the dryer in the beadroom away from washer. It will do. Pleanty of beds.

Loved how much shared space there was for our group to have dinner together, hang out in the living room, and enjoy the deck and fire pit outside. We didn’t spend a ton of time at the house during the day, but it was exactly what we needed at night, spacious and great for relaxing. That said, the house could’ve been a bit cleaner when we arrived, and the upstairs shower was really small, so most of us ended up using the one downstairs. Still, overall a great spot for a group trip.

Very nice

Eating and cooking. Plenty of pots, pans, silverware, dishes. Good stock of basic spices and accessories. Lots and lots of beds. Great location, e.g. national forest, South Fork, Pagosa Springs. Looking forward to returning next summer.

Nice location; needs cleaning

While the cabin was in a nice location and the owner was very responsive and helpful when we had some pre-trip questions, the cabin was not the cleanest, especially upstairs. Also, we had lots of snow/precipitation and there is no gravel/concrete parking so it turned into a sloppy mess.

Adventure Headquarters

Dan's place is the perfect size for our large group of ten to act as a base camp for exploring the area on our motorcycles. Fully stocked kitchen, variety of sleeping areas, and a large relaxing front deck. This is our second stay with Dan because it fits our needs so well. There was a surprise visitor, we're assuming a bear, that had knocked over the dumpster and spread trash everywhere before we got there. It just took us a little while to get everything back in order. Luckily, we had no run-ins with the bear while we were there!

Hunting and vacation stay

We were here to hunt and to have a vacation and enjoy the stay in Colorado. The cabin was nice, it was dated and could use some updating. We did find a few things that would have been a better opinion of the house, and that is, it could have been cleaned better and that the dishes were cleaned. I might find another house keeper. Just a thought. We did enjoy our visit and we always love coming to Colorado!

Wonderful location

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We had 2 couples & 5 children. The kids had a great time at the river. We rode our side by sides straight from the property to the trails and rode over 250 miles in the week we stayed there. There is a beautiful lake really close by and the fishing was excellent. South Fork was a great place to go if you want to get away from the crowds. The only negative was a few areas could have been cleaned better. The upstairs bathroom shower and the kitchen. I think people before us put away some pots & pans that were still dirty. Overall, I would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Dan Schmedeman

Host profile image
Dan has owned vacation rentals for 25 years. We know what people need when coming to Colorado, and we are always glad to help visitors make the most out of their vacation.

Why they chose this property

Dan Schmedeman (owner) has designed and built dozens of log homes through out the Colorado Rockies. There is no place in Colorado more scenic then South Fork, and our cabin is setting in the middle of one of the nicest location in the area. After a few days at the cabin, you will not want to go home.

What makes this property unique

My favorite time is the early spring or fall when i can get up early, get my cup of coffee and walk down to the river or Million Resevoir for some great trout fishing.
