South Fork, Colorado
PRIVATE, WHOLE-HOUSE VACATION RENTAL. 2 BEDROOMS/2 BATHS. The most recent addition to the guest accommodations on the Arbor House property is the Cottage on the Creek--the perfect accommodation choice for a couple, a small family, or two couples vacationing together. Situated on a beautifully maintained, three-acre property, it is bounded on the east and west by stately stone cliffs and has amazing river, forest and mountain views in the background. This mountain cottage is approximately 1350 sq. ft. of pure and peaceful riverside relaxation. The Cottage interior is beautifully decorated in a simple and casual mountain style with a spacious living area featuring comfortable seating and plenty of room to relax, watch TV, read, do puzzles or play games. Internet is a must, and it's high-speed wireless. The adjoining dining area is flooded throughout the day with beautiful, natural light and has amazing views out each window. Fully equipped kitchen comes with large and small appliances, pots & pans, cooking utensils, dishes, and glassware, etc. The laundry room, adjacent to the kitchen, has a full-size washer and dryer, ironing board, iron, and storage area for extra outdoor/ski gear, etc. The Cottage does an absolutely wonderful job of providing all the comforts of home, enabling guests to just settle on in or get out and get busy having fun. The large, romantic master bedroom features a king bed, private bath, comfortable seating area for two, gorgeous riverside views and streaming TV. The smaller, second bedroom has a comfy queen bed with full bath across the hall. Special touches of fluffy robes and complimentary bedside chocolates whisper a quiet "Sleep Well" to nightly bedroom guests. Outdoors, the above-river deck provides a perfect spot for breakfast al fresco in the warm, morning sun or for an evening respite of wine and cheese while watching the fish rise--perfect and peaceful in every way. Perhaps a juicy steak or maybe burgers on the grill is the order of the day, but whatever's on the menu, it's always better on the river. And may we add that the nighttime stargazing is, well, AMAZING! For guests needing wheelchair accessibility, the Cottage features a winding ramp up to the covered front porch entrance (as well as traditional steps), and all rooms and back deck are on one level--no interior stairs. The master bed/bath has 36" doors; large, walk-in shower with both standard and hand-held shower heads along with safety grab bars in the shower and at the toilet. Shower stool available on request. Riverside deck is accessed through the dining room sliding door, and just down the back stairs from the deck to the river is a private, aspen-shaded seating area with fire pit and picnic table. A lazy porch swing under an old river trolly and sparkling party lights complete the relaxing, riverside experience. Cottage guests are welcome to take advantage of the property's 480+ ft., private, on-site river access and enjoy some fishing in the Arbor House Inn's private portion of the South Fork of the Rio Grande. Catch and release as requested the the fish! Our goal here at the Cottage is to be the perfect choice of vacation accommodations for those few, very special guests desiring a private, peaceful and relaxing Colorado mountain getaway. **** As the Cottage is a separate facility from the main Arbor House Inn, GUEST PRIVILEGS DO NOT INCLUDE BREAKFAST SERVICE OR USE OF THE INN'S HOT TUB.

We stayed at the Cottage for a snowboard trip starting New Year’s Day. The house was great for me and my two boys! We will plan on visiting again. The location to the ski area was great and it is a quiet town which was perfect.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cottage on the Creek. It was very welcoming and had all the comforts of home. Would love to come back and enjoy it in the summer.
We have been coming to South Fork for over 10 years. This was by far the best place we have stayed! Laurie and Keith have thought of everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The porch is amazing for coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon. Loved watching the hummingbirds. This is an excellent location.
Peaceful and relaxing place. Deck with the river is beautiful. Very clean and comfortable.
This Cottage was fabulous. Right on the river, quiet and so roomy. Everything about our week here was wonderful. Many nights enjoyed on the back deck overlooking the river. We will be back.
We’ve stayed in numerous cabins on rivers and this one is well above the others in taste, hospitality, and cleanliness! It is the most quaint cottage with many personal touches from the owners. We will be back!
Lots of room for our group of 4. Fully stocked kitchen made staying in easy. Great place to relax after a long ski day. Easy drive to Wolf Creek. Probably 20-30 minutes depending on road conditions. Appeared to be one of the closest places to the ski resort that wasn’t just a hotel room. Located right at the end of town so close to every thing the small town has to offer. Place was clean and well stocked. Photos didn’t do it justice. It was much nicer than we expected. Highly recommend. We plan to stay again for future ski trips.
We stayed at the cottage for a ski trip to Wolf Creek. It’s a quick trip to the mountain and was very convenient. The cottage is better than the expected! It is spotlessly clean, the kitchen is well stocked with good tools, appliances, and pantry basics. The views are gorgeous. Our hosts were very thoughtful. Having a Christmas tree and decor was a very thoughtful touch.
We had a wonderful stay - the outdoor space was great
Super clean and well situated on the banks of the river. This is one VRBO where the pics don't do the property justice. The setting is perfect.
We could not have found a better place than the Cottage at Arbor House. Amazing accommodations and amenities with everything you need, and more, to make your stay perfect. Keith and Laurie are great hosts! The location on the river is so beautiful and relaxing. You will not want to leave!
Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing stay.
Beautiful accommodations and beautiful setting. We caught a fish right off the deck. Loved it.
We were so comfortable and relaxed. Everything was perfect. We interacted with wildlife and greatly enjoyed the deck. Do not hesitate to visit this very peaceful and very beautiful cottage.
Five stars...amazing location on the water in a beautiful and well-appointed home! The hosts are very kind and have thought of everything you need. We loved staying in Southfork and used it as a launching pad for various fishing, Alpine Loop, and hiking adventures.
The Cottage on the Creek was so relaxing and had all the comforts of home. We really enjoyed sitting on the back deck listening to the creek.
