About this property

The Alpine Haven • Mountain Views • Near Wolf Creek • Fire Pit • Pet Friendly

  • Morning coffee on the porch as the sun lights up the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the distance. A day skiing at Wolf Creek, fishing the Rio Grande, or exploring mountain trails. Dinner on the grill and an evening around the fire table beneath the stars.

    Welcome to The Alpine Haven, our mountain cabin in South Fork, Colorado. With a main-floor king bedroom, an upstairs loft with two queen beds, and room for up to six guests, the cabin is a comfortable place to settle in for a family vacation, a couples’ getaway, or time away with friends.

    A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN

    Large picture windows bring natural light into the cabin and frame the mountain views. Gather in the living room after a day outside, stream a favorite show on the smart TV, or enjoy a quiet evening by the propane fireplace.

    There’s space to share meals, play a game or do a puzzle, or just plan the next day’s adventure. If you need to catch up on work during your stay, a dedicated desk and chair give you a place to open your laptop.

    Split-unit air conditioning helps keep the cabin comfortable during warmer summer afternoons.

    SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

    The main-floor bedroom has a king bed, with the convenience of sleeping downstairs.

    Upstairs, the spacious upstairs bedroom has two queen beds.

    The cabin sleeps a maximum of six guests and has one shared bathroom with a shower.

    The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, cookware, spices, and a coffee maker. Make breakfast before heading out, pack lunch for a day of exploring, or cook dinner together when you return.

    For an easy evening at the cabin, fire up the propane grill and enjoy dinner with a mountain view.

    MORNINGS AND EVENINGS OUTSIDE

    The front porch is one of our favorite places to spend time. Bring your coffee outside and watch the morning light move across the mountains. Depending on the season, you may see hummingbirds, deer, or the occasional fox passing through the area.

    After dinner, gather around the outdoor fire table, settle into a chair, and look up at the stars. Leave some time in your itinerary to simply enjoy being here.

    A BASE FOR EVERY SEASON

    Winter

    Wolf Creek Ski Area is approximately 22 miles from the cabin, making The Alpine Haven a convenient home base for ski and snowboard trips. The surrounding area also offers opportunities for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and sledding.

    Come back to a warm cabin, make dinner, and relax before another day in the snow. The washer and dryer are handy for longer stays and days spent outside.

    Spring, summer, and fall

    Spend your days hiking, mountain biking, fly-fishing, or exploring ATV and Jeep trails in the surrounding area. Fish the Rio Grande, plan an outing to Big Meadows Reservoir, or book a round of golf at the Rio Grande Club.

    Fall brings another reason to take your time on the scenic drives and spend a little longer outdoors.

    EXPLORE SOUTH FORK AND BEYOND

    The cabin is a short drive from South Fork’s restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores, making it easy to pick up supplies or head into town for a meal.

    For a day trip, explore historic Creede and check the performance schedule at the Creede Repertory Theatre. Other places to explore in the surrounding area include Wagon Wheel Gap, Lake City and Big Meadows Reservoir.

    Whether your plans involve early starts and full days outdoors or slow mornings and quiet evenings, you’ll have a comfortable place to return to.

    BRING YOUR DOG

    We know a mountain getaway is better when your dog can come along. Please review the listing’s pet limits and fees before booking and include your dog in the reservation.

    The yard is large and unfenced. Please supervise your dog outside, pick up pet waste, and place tied waste bags in the trash bin in the garage.

    A FEW DETAILS TO HELP YOU PLAN

    • Check-in begins at 3:30 p.m., and checkout is by 10:00 a.m.
    • The upstairs bedroom accommodates two queen beds.
    • All guests share one bathroom with a shower.
    • The yard is unfenced.
    • Bears and other wildlife live in the area. Please keep all trash bagged and inside the lidded bin in the garage throughout your stay.
    • Mountain weather and seasonal conditions can affect travel times and access to outdoor activities.

    We’d love for you to enjoy the things that make this cabin special to us especially the morning mountain views, time on the porch, and evenings together after a day exploring South Fork.

The cabin was perfect. Everything is in good repair and well maintained, beautiful decor and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of extras. WiFi, smart TV and no water tank system were all big pluses for us. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Views from the front porch!

Great cabin for 2 adults and our dog. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the sunrise over the beautiful Colorado landscape. Peaceful, quiet neighborhood, great place to be when exploring several CO mining towns. The views of the sky and the milky way are INCREDIBLE from this property. Everything was clean and we felt very comfortable staying here.

Relaxing in Mountain Air

My wife and I really enjoyed the cabin and the beautiful 70 degree weather.The Rio Grande River was just a short walk from the cabin, and the Aspen foliage was glorious. We saw deer and wildlife while sipping coffee sitting on the front porch. The Host, Karen, was wonderful to work with and the communication was excellent.

Pretty, peaceful cabin is great basecamp to explore South Fork

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It's clean and nicely furnished, decorated and updated. It has comfortable beds (two in the upstairs bedroom and one in the main floor bedroom). The kitchen is well-stocked. It's in a quiet area where you can see wildlife and have great stargazing but yet it's easy and convenient to get to all the great things to do in the South Fork area. We had fun hiking at Penitente Canyon, Big Meadows and Deep Creek. We had a great time railbiking with Revolution Rail Co. from South Fork into the Coller Wildlife Mgmt. Area (do the longer ride - it's worth it). The scenery is gorgeous on the drive up to Creede and Lake City. We had one great day trip to Great Sand Dunes, Zapata Falls and Monte Vista and another beautiful day trip through Wolf Creek Pass to Pagosa Springs to soak in the hot springs. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at this cabin again and I would love to visit South Fork again since there's so much to do.

Basecamp

Just as described in VRBO. Perfect basecamp location. We were celebrating our 28th anniversary by visiting the area. Cabin is well appointed and the kitchen is exceptional with any and all items you could need. Nice to have WIFI. We went to Pagosa Springs, Creed and Lake City. Although a lot of businesses have closed for the season the drives were outstanding with the beautiful cottonwood trees glowing, mountains and rivers. We saw mule deer does and bucks, RM sheep and the scampy little chipmunks! NO BEARS oe ELK!!! Planned to fish at Million Reservoir but hubby took a tumble on our way down to the lake and our trip was immediateky cut short. Thankfully no broken bones but he has a few souveniors on his body! All is good and we enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Thank you for sharing. Be sure to visit Basecamp Sweets (their lemon blueberry mini loaf is SCRUMPTIOUS)

Wonderful cabin home in a quiet area.

My husband and I plus our small dog found this cabin/home to be very clean, well appointed, and organized. The kitchen lacked nothing in appliances, dishes, and serving items. That was important since we made several meals. There were an abundance of household supplies and towels for our daily needs. There was a new cooling unit that cooled the entire cabin. That was important on those warmer, sunny days. We were able to walk our dog peacefully without worry from vehicles since there was little to no traffic. There were other vacation houses around and some may have had permanent occupants but it was noticeably quiet and peaceful all the time. The homes are spaced appropriately and there are many areas not built upon. I loved this rustic area that backs up to the national forest. The location makes it easy to drive to the main highway and access town. We were able to have a wonderful time catching trout at Big Meadows Reservoir. The drive and the water was beautiful. The fishing was very good. We’d like to come back and would eagerly stay at this vacation home where the owner easily communicates and answers any questions you have about the property.
