Home was very nice. We never met our host. Not really her fault. We were late getting there. She came by one evenng but we were not there. The dining room chairs were not the ones pictured in the ad. We found them in the closet of the master bedroom. Not a big deal, but a little misleading. Overall we had a great time, and when we did speak with our host she was very nice.

River trip lodging

Great house for a larger group and there is room for trailers. Jesse was very helpful and prompt replying to messages. There does appear to be an ATV/UTV tour business that shares a driveway and is very close to the house. They were not busy or operating while we were in the property. Definitely something to look into if you have families / small kids. Great stay, great house, appreciate everything

Beware- very deceiving description and owners

Thirty years of renting cabins in Colorado and I've never left a negative review until now. The description of the cabin states that you can ride OHVs from the cabin. This doesn't give the full picture. You can ride to one trail, but have to have liability insurance on your atv and buy a South Fork permit & flag, so we weren't able to ride from the cabin.at all. We alerted the owner to a few issues while we were there, they came over and they said it wasn't a problem. Then we were hit with extra charges when we left. We were already paying a hefty cleaning fee, and they more than doubled it. Their check out procedures were more excessive than any cabin we've ever stayed at. We left the cabin very clean even considering that there were 8 of us there, but apparently we left some trash in the trash cans. and they had to do some cleaning after we left (I would expect so after 8 of us were there for 6 days). We should have taken heed from other reviews stating that they run a business from the property(100 ft away) and if you don't want to hear engines starting 50 feet from your bedroom early in the morning, I don't recommend that you rent this property.

Lack of communication

The home and the property were very nice. The owners living on the property and running another business from this property (which we knew before hand) was a little intimidating. My family had interaction with Jesse before she left for the week. Said she seemed very pleasant. The interaction with her husband the rest of the week left a little to be desired. We asked about trails that might not be quite as rough as the ones we found on our own and were met with a snarky comment. We didn't feel totally welcome on the property. I sent a message letting her know how many of our group would be there on the first day and that the rest of us would be there the following day and received no response. Additionally, I sent 3 messages after we left thanking them for letting us stay and gave a rundown of what was done before we left and haven't received a response. There are lots of positive reviews on this place. We may have caught them at a bad time.

Beautiful Lodge. Over and above expectations. Jesse Entz was the best in my book of perfect hosts. She made sure we had everything we could possibly need, even supplying our need in a personnel crisis. Wish we could revisit Baxterville Lodge. Each one of our children feels the same. TEN STARS!

Perfect mountain retreat for our large family

We couldn’t have had a better experience! The hosts were super friendly; met us at checkin and even stopped by to checkin and make sure we didn’t need anything and brought us root beer floats. The whole neighborhood was very friendly. The house is spacious, well maintained, and incredibly well setup for large groups. We had 7 adults and 6 kids and there were plenty of beds for everyone. There was even plenty of parking for our 3 vehicles and two trailers. We couldn’t have had a better experience and will definitely book another stay.

A nice stay with a friendly host

The property was clean, comfortable, and convenient. Jesse came over and spoke with us the afternoon we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. The hot water wasn't working initially, but they had it addressed in no time! Just good friendly folk, and very easy to get along with. We love South Fork, and would stay here again if this much space is needed in the future.

Excellent time. We were able to get up and watch the sun rise on the upper deck and catch a glimpse of some wild life. Host were very great to visit with. We took our own side by side but they do have a guided ride if you don’t have one, and I highly recommend it. Only downside was we had to leave and go home. But we will be back. Thanks Jesse and Matt for allowing us the chance to have a great time.

This was a great place to stay in South Fork close to town with lots of parking available. The house has lots of room and the bedrooms are very roomy. Has a beautiful outdoor deck for hanging out.

Family Reunion/Celebration of Life

This property was a great fit for our family needs. The bulk of the family (10 adults) stayed at this house, others stayed in Monte and Del Norte. The whole crew of 15 was able to gather comfortably here for meals and time together in various places through out the house; game room/ sun room, kitchen and dining area, living room, and 2 comfortable outdoor patios. This was both a joyful and heavy hearted time and our hosts were warm, welcoming, accommodating, and patient. Thank you !!

Great stay August 2020

Our family has several immunocompromised members. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property. That was really important to us. The owners were lovely. The decor was beautiful. The house had plenty of tableware and such. The home was the perfect base camp for what we wanted to do, which was a whole lot of fishing! I will definitely plan to stay here again. The only thing that was different in terms of other VRBO's that we had stayed in-The paper products were limited. But were are traveling in the days of covid and even the grocery store was out of paper towels.

We absolutely loved our stay at Baxterville Lodge. It was large enough for our entire extended family of 17! Jesse & Matt are amazing hosts and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend a RZR tour with Mountain Skillz. We had such a relaxing vacation at the lodge and the RZR tour was a fun adventure in the mountains! We will definitely be going back!
