Very pretty neighborhood and wonderful hosts. Jesse and Matt are very kind and helpful. We stayed at the property to ride the off road trails.

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.

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.

Great for a Group!
We stayed in South Fork and rode our side-by-sides around the trails in the area. Great house with plenty of space for a group. Owner was very friendly and helpful! Parking area was large enough for 3 pickups with trailers if you know how to park!

Family reunion
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.

Beautiful Home
We were in South Fork to Celebrate the Life of our Father/Grandfather. The home was beautiful and spacious.
Lots of room to play card games.
We loved sitting out on the large covered porch!

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.

Family Vacay 2021
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.

Great place to stay
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. The hosts were very responsive to all of our request and we're always available. There were nine in our group and we never felt crowded.

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 !!

Sweetest Lodge!
We really loved everything about the Baxterville lodge. The neighborhood was family friendly and quiet, the home was clean and had lots of touches that made it feel like a real home away from home. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, and we very much look forward to coming back.

Beautiful lodge for our employee's vacation!
We booked Baxterville Lodge for our employee and his family to vacation! They said over and over again how much they loved the lodge and their time in South Fork. Their favorite part was the all day RZR tour with Mountain Skills. Matt & Jesse were excellent hosts and will definitely book again!

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.

INCREDIBLE LODGE- AMAZING HOSTS!
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!

Wonderful mountain escape
My family of 4 from Texas and my sister-in-law’s family of 4 from California were looking for a middle meeting ground. Finding a place with the right configuration of beds for couples, teens, and toddlers was difficult but Baskerville Lodge was perfect! It was extremely well-equipped and we were able to do all of our cooking there. We especially liked the upstairs sunroom and deck area! The highlight of our trip was taking an offroad tour through the owner’s company Mountain Skillz, which I would highly recommend for summer visitors. I hope that one day our family schedules align again and we can return!

This place is acceptable for specific types of guest, but not for all!
This particular vacation to SF was particularly important for our family, as it also fell on the year anniversary date of our sisters death.
Let me start with the good. This is a lovely home. Note that some of the common areas would be tight if you have a large group. The home is close to the heart of South Fork making you close to the highway, so you will hear some road noise. If you are looking for a quaint, private space, this is not the rental for you. If you are looking for a place to sleep and shower, this would work.
With that said, having the opportunity to book this space again, we would not. In the initial listing description, the renters made no mention of living onsite. That has since been updated. It is fair to note, that they also semi run a business onsite as well, as they will have many atvs/trailers on the property that they will power wash at 6:30am. This is an important detail if you appreciate sleeping in. It also impacts onsite parking. The other facet to this was the property owner “checking in” often, which felt a little bit invasive. The owner noted in their agreement that there was to be no smoking in the home or on the decks. The first morning we were there, she scolded my mother for smoking on the property, which was followed by a 20 minute lecture on potential forest fires. It’s worth mentioning that the owner then spent the evening at the adjacent neighbors cabin while they smoked cigarettes and sat around an outdoor fire pit. Truthfully, we felt a like we had a helicopter parent the first couple of days onsite. After the first day, we made considerable efforts to not be on the property short of sleeping which was unfortunate to my aging mother who struggles to participate in many activities, but felt too uncomfortable with the property owner to stay there during the day. This frustration, along with the early morning power washing, the owner walking circles around the cabin, and the total lack of privacy for our family and kiddos left us with a bad taste in our mouths.
If you have a large group, are quiet, stay inside, plan to be away from sun up to sun down and absolutely do not smoke, this place is acceptable. If you are looking for a private relaxing retreat to the mountains for you and your family, I would recommend a different rental. Again, after spending a lot of mone, we were hoping for a better experience for our family (4 adults/5 children.) Hopefully this will help someone avoid the same mistake!

Better in Baxterville
After a rough Senior year (being a 2020 graduate) my daughter just wanted to go on vacation in the mountains. We found the Baxterville Lodge, and fell in love. We were looking for certain dates, and the homeowner was great to work with, allowing us to book an extra night. The Lodge was even better in person than the pictures show. There were 9 in our party, and the house was more than enough for all of us. This property has a spacious yard where we were able to set up our cornhole boards and play each night. The front deck was a peaceful place to sit in this quiet, friendly neighborhood. The coffee station was a hit with all of our group each morning, even down to our 9 year old who drank the hot chocolate. Our family spent more time upstairs in the gameroom and sitting on the attached deck than we did down in the living room, but it was nice to have both options! The kitchen was spacious and came with everything we needed to prepare our meals. We brought our Razors to Colorado with us, and there was plenty of parking for both vehicles and our trailer. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a wonderful family experience! Also, we didnt book in advance, but the homeowners also have a RZR guide service that looked like it would be a blast. You can check them out on Facebook at Mountain Skillz. (I believe they offer a discount if your staying at the lodge.) I hope everyone enjoys this property as much as we did, and happy vacationing!
