Great property.
Enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings and watching the sunrise. It was gorgeous. The later afternoons and evenings on the porch we enjoyed the cool breezes of Colorado. There were at one point 15 of us at the house and there was plenty of space. Will visit again.

Our go-to place to stay!
This lodge easily houses our group of 15-20 every year for our annual ski trip, and it has plenty of space to relax, play games, cook, and eat together. The owners are easy to communicate with and friendly people. We hope to return year after year!

Great home base for skiing at Wolf Creek
We had three families with a total of 12 people stay here and there was lots of extra room. We played games and cooked dinner each evening in the dinner/living room. Pool and foosball tables were fun additions that are downstairs. On top of this, we got lucky with a lot of snow to play in. South Fork is a relatively easy drive up to Wolf Creek each day.

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Melissa Jones

Host profile image
Hi! We are Dan and Melissa Jones and just recently moved from Texas to South Fork full time to manage our beautiful group retreat cabin. We love the mountains and enjoy all of the outdoor activities that they provide such as Jeep trailing, riding atv's and snowmobiles, camping, kayaking, hiking and skiing. We live just 1 mile from the cabin, so if you ever need anything or just have questions on where to go/ what to do we are happy to help. We look forward to meeting our guests and hope you will feel right at home at Rio River Retreat!!

Why they chose this property

We have always loved coming to the South Fork area for summer vacations and just recently started skiing at Wolf Creek. Dan even camped here as a kid and always dreamed of one day living in the mountains. After we got married we dreamed together of owning a retreat center in the mountains and this cabin was everything we were looking for. Riverfront with beautiful views of the mountains and would sleep large groups. What more could we ask for?

What makes this property unique

You will absolutely LOVE relaxing on the large porch and hearing the sound of the river just a few feet away. Nothing beats morning coffee on the deck while watching the sun rise against the mountains! The log work is absolutely amazing- quality craftsmanship by all means!
Located on the Gold Medal fishing waters of the Rio Grande River!!! This is a perfect location for river fishing!
