Grandpa - Take Me Fishing
My 9-year old grandson asked me to take him fishing. The headwaters of the Rio Grande is my favorite in all the world. I don’t handle sleeping at high altitude these days, but the 8,000 feet of South Fork was okay. The cabin is nice. It’s still new and is comfortable. We went up high to fish but my son also found places nearby South Fork. Great vacation. My grandson caught his first trout and with a big, beautiful smile he held it up.You will like this place.

Sharing Colorado with Family
This year we celebrated our 55 anniversary and with this in mind we wanted to share our love for Colorado with our family members. Grande Bluff in South Fork, CO was the perfect place to do this. The setting of the house on the Rio Grande River in itself provided entertainment for all ages including fishing, skipping rocks, and playing in the river. The inside of the house was beautifully constructed and decorated. The house furnished everything one needed to cook and serve large meals, and provided a game room upstairs with fun activities for the family including games, puzzles, a pool table, shuffle board table, TV games, that the young ones enjoyed, etc. A huge TV in the gathering room downstairs provided a great place for all the family to enjoy watching our TN Vols win the NCAA Baseball Championship. The bedrooms and baths were very nice with everything supplied that one would need. Beau Meyer, the realtor and his assistant Kathy were always checking on us and immediately assisting with any problems (which were only a couple) and making sure we had everything we needed. With 19 family members joining us at different times through the month, this was the perfect spot with easy access to outdoor activities and overnight trips to other areas. I would highly recommend this house to anyone.

Family ski trip
We had a great stay at this cabin in South Fork. Plenty of room for 2 families. The views are amazing and the game room upstairs was a huge hit with the kids. House is clean and new. About a 25 minute drive to Wolf Creek and much preferred this side of the mountain to avoid the longer/steeper drive to Wolf Creek from Pagosa Springs. The town is small but has everything you need within minutes of the house. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Ski Getaway
Grande Bluff was a beautiful place to warm up after multiple days of skiing with my family. We’ve stayed at other properties in South Fork for our frequent ski trips over the years and this one has been our favorite by far. It was always warm with an easy to use fireplace. There was everything you could possibly need in the kitchen to make whatever meal you could dream of! We played pool every night and my nephews and niece enjoyed the x-box and shuffleboard. The host was extremely accommodating - we broke a glass and the host was very understanding of accidents little kids cause. All the beds were comfortable and there was always hot water for all 9 of us. Another plus for me personally was the really really short checkout list. We always try to leave a place clean, but it’s really annoying when hosts have a laundry list of to do items before checkout. This place had the very bare minimum- strip your beds, turn thermostat down, and empty trash. Easy peasy! This is now the only place for us for future ski trips in South Fork! Can’t wait to come back!

Excellente!
Wonderful home. It was perfect for our family. Kitchen had everything you need, lots of games for the young ones, and beautiful setting resting just above the Rio Grande. We were in South Fork for 3 days skiing. Just about a 20-25 minute drive to the ski area. Beautiful drive over. Would do this again!
