      This house was a nice place to stay, and the realtor was very nice. The location was perfect for us. We love skiing Wolf Creek and staying in South Fork.

      We loved this property! It is off the main road with easy access to the highways. Set in a quiet neighborhood, it’s perfect for a getaway with all the amazing features. This place is very very spacious with a wonderful back yard for entertaining

      Lovely property
      Overall, the stay was very nice. But the stay was was marred by the initial check in. A week in advance, we received very detailed check in instructions. Key pad and code, lock box, etc. so after driving 14 hours, we get there after dark, primed with our detailed instructions. Key code did not work and there was no lock box. We stood in the cold just looking. Luckily someone thought to look under the mat and there was a key!? So we got in thankfully, luckily. We did call after hours and the owner, Beau, was extremely responsive and was able to get keys and help us get the guest house open, after a while. And while there were a few normal glitches with someone else’s house, the overall stay was lovely and very clean. But when I tried to communicate with the property manager Carrie, she was terse and extremely unapologetic regarding the debacle of check in. She had one job. Making sure we could get in to the property. A simple walk through after the last tenants left would have prevented this. Carrie, as clean as a property is does nothing if the tenants cannot access it. For others, I’m sure they have corrected the broken key pad and misplaced lock box so you can rent knowing the property is lovely, clean, and a great location.

      Winter getaway
      We stayed here for a week with another family and had 5 teenage boys!! The house was perfect for us! We had a few questions upon arrival and Beau responded immediately. There was an issue with the fireplace in the living room that we could not figure out and Beau came over and took care of it right away. I highly recommend staying here!

      Slightly disappointed
      The house started out overall great! Throughout the trip the minor inconveniences stacked up though. The washer didn’t work properly, we arrived with a stopped up sink, had to replace toilet paper, experienced a leak and a beeping fire alarm. Overall we were pretty satisfied with the stay besides these minor issues. Would probably stay here again

      My wife and I brought 2 teens and 3 20’s. We had plenty of room with all of our ski gear and plenty of room to cook for 7. Great experience. We will be back and may not wait until ski season!

      Great ski location
      Property manager was great. We had 2 issues one with the door to the mother in law suite and the other with a water-pump(we didn’t have water from about 9pm until 8am) and he fixed both problems. House was clean and quiet.

      Great place to stay!
      This house was perfect for our stay. It has plenty of space for all of us. We enjoyed the large kitchen and the three bathrooms in the main house. One of the couples with us stayed in the guest house which was perfect for them! We had a fire several nights and the large parking area was great for our two trucks and trailers to park and turn around in. We will definitely stay here again.
