The cabin is 10 mins from the ski resort. Super easy access and great deal for a long weekend. I will definitely use it for future trips to Wolf Creek area. Highly recommended.
Pros- You can not beat the location if you are skiing or riding at Wolf Creek. A quick 10 minute drive to the mountain. So much more convent than staying in Pagosa Springs. Plus you are less than 10 minutes from South Fork which has a handful of restaurants and a small grocery store. Finding a stand- alone cabin that can sleep a family of five is really nice. 2 full bathrooms, amazing. Cons- We are not picky, hard- to- please guests but I will say that the cabin does feel like it needs a good, deep- clean. Additionally it is a fully furnished cabin but only by the barest of minimums. There are no extra blankets, or an iron, or a hair dryer, has very basic dishes, etc. All of the dishes felt just a little bit dirty. The hot tub needed some attention and created a super-thick, sudsy foam when you turned on the bubbles. Like frat house, foam party suds. It was kind of a bummer. We couldn't get the disposal to work and so the sink filled with yucky water ever time we turned on the water in the sink. Are these deal breakers for a return visit? Probably not for us but a more decerning customer might be dissatisfied. Again, can not reiterate enough the great location, the two full bathrooms and the beautiful mountains surrounding the property!
Property was wonderful
One of the main reasons we picked this property was for the Hot Tub, however when we got there it was not working. Reached out to CS and they were very unhelpful. There was no complimentary wood, when I asked CS about that they said that didn't come with it.. FYI their website says it comes with complimentary wood.. Mentioned that to CS and sent them a screen shot of the website.. They ignored.. Also, there was mouse poop in all the bedrooms, sent CS pictures and they ignored...They told me they would reach out to the local property management to resolve all issues.. no response or call back... I would never recommend this place to anyone..
There was a trout pond. Saw a fish caught but we didn't. Did use lake boat on pond. It was a comfortable cabin. Had a slight difficulty with parking having a trailer to turn around. Really missed having the hot tub working....
Everyone just completely enjoyed their stay, the location and hot tub.
