Recent Rio Grande National Forest guest reviews

Casa del Rio was the best vacation rental I have ever experienced. Very nice house. Everything worked. Super clean. Great location for walking the community. We saw deer, fox, geese, rabbits, ducks. There was one bear sighting and bear commotion outside one evening. The house is on the river, however SW Colorado is in a terrible drought. The fishing was difficult. South Fork has plenty of restaurants all of which had very kind staffs. The Rainbow grocery store has all you need. We stayed at Casa del Rio for two weeks and really didn’t want to leave.

The rental had everything we needed for our stay. We did quite a bit of eating in, and the kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans, utensils, and other essentials we needed. It was the perfect size for two people and a great home base for exploring the area. We were able to head out on different day trips and adventures and then come back to a comfortable, quiet place to relax. The location was also very convenient, with a gas station, grocery store, and restaurants just a short drive down the road. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Everything was clean and orderly. It was just the two of us and the master bedrooms king size bed was very comfortable. We were able to set out in the deck every morning and it was quiet and peaceful. We had a great time there.
