Had an awesome time here. Pictures do not do it justice. It has been updated since these were taken. Only complaint is that the hot tub was not working. We did catch fish including a nice 16 inch brown. Saw deer on the hill on the other side of the river. Overall great pace to stay.

Beauty of the Rio Grande and Mountains

We had a wonderful stay at the Elk River House!! It had such a beautiful view of the mountains and the Rio Hrande River was right out the back door. We enjoyed fishing in the river and the kiddos enjoyed the hot tub and making smores in the evening. It was so relaxing and the weather was so comfortable to sit out on the porch. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Elk River House!!

My friends and I do an annual trip to Wolf Creek and the Elk River House did not disappoint! The beds were clean and comfy, the kitchen was well stocked, and there was enough space for all of us and our dogs to have a great time without stepping on each others' toes! 5 stars, would love to stay here again!

A amazing location on the river. Great space for hanging with family/friends. The place is not brand new or stocked with the latest the greatest but it’s a classic mountain retreat that is comfortable and convenient. Will return.

Great rental property

This property was our family’s favorite rental. The cabin’s floor plan is well thought out for a large family gathering. Great area to explore with lots of fun activities within an hours drive. Hot springs, sand dunes, horseback riding, rail biking, fishing, hiking as so much more. Highly recommend,
