Check in was shaky due to poor communication from Vercasa. Too long to detail but property manager came and got us in. Microwave in kitchen did not work and had electrical ozone smell when using. Local caretaker for Vercasa came by and confirmed it was a potential fire hazard and even cut the plug to be safe. Coffee maker needs replaced. When brewing it would only brew for about 5 minutes and then would shut down. Had to keep hitting brew button to both brew and keep coffee hot. Several reviews noted issues with dishwasher from previous clients. It seems like those reviews were not acted on as we also had issues with it also. Seems nearly every LED was not working on the contol panel so no idea if and when it was going to run or not. Could not cancel operation. It would be nice to have a coffee table in front of huge sectional. Had to set coffee on floor or hold. There was one end table and that was all for a sectional that would seat about 10 people. It also would be nice to have nightstands in bedrooms to have eyeglasses and cell phone chargers at hand. I had to use suitcase for nightstand. We did not need fireplace but could have. Despite the listing notes a fireplace on main floor there was a big sign on mantle not to use since it was not vented properly.

Home was located next to the river and was central to all of south fork’s main interest points!

WE HAD THE BEST TIME! SUCH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. HOUSE WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO GIVE EVERYONE PRIVACY. ONLY THING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE DIFFERENTLY IS THE TRASH CAN TO KEEP CREATURES OUT AT NIGHT.

This house was great, we had our family of 12 and it accommodated us perfectly. We did have a lot of trash and it was only picked up once while we were there a week. We had to leave a day earlier than expected. Someone had difficulty with oxygen at the altitude.

We skied at Wolf Creek and the drive from South Fork was much easier than that of Pagosa Springs. Plenty of room for many guests. One and half of the rooms are only good for kids due to the low ceiling. It had a great front yard with room for kids to play. The back, by the deck is right on the river. There wasn't room for wet gear in the entry. There are a few floor layout issues, like carpet under the table and the downstairs floor transitions have a couple inch rise. Beware if you have littles the spiral stairs are dangerous. It would have been nice to have been able to use the fireplaces. Overall we had a great time and it worked for what we needed and would stay again!

This cabin was a perfect place for our annual family ski trip!

The property was a good experience. Garage access would've been helpful, and we didn't know what to do with trash. The owner did have everything shoveled daily. That was a kind gesture. Great house.

Nice quiet neighborhood, plenty of parking room. Lots of room in house to spread out. One room works better for kids just because of the angle of the ceiling. One room has a mattress that probably needs to be replaced. It dips toward the top of the bed. Having 2 fridges close was really nice to designate at “drink” one for kids. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans/utensils. The staircase is a doozy! There was trash left in the garage that housekeeping forgot to take. Contacting the agency and having it picked up was no big deal and done quickly!

The views from the property are stunning. The inside and its furnishings are well-loved, but it has everything you need for a big group, including room to spread out.

Loved the view but wish the place was cleaner including bedding

The property/land, river view and outside of the facility was visually beautiful. The built-up bank (berm) along the river is dangerously steep except for a few places along the approximately 100 yards of riverbank available. The three ponds were all shallow with muddy/silt bottoms and were mossy... the kids only tired to "swim" once. The layout of the inside left something (much?) to be desired. The 2 ground floor bedrooms were short step-ups (tripping hazards) and access to one of them was only though the bathroom or the other bedroom (why?). Both these bedrooms had only beds and a dresser... no chairs, tables nor night stands although there was plenty of room. Lighting was also poor. On the second floor, the main/great room having the kitchen/dining/living area was nice except access to the 2 dining tables was somewhat "confining"; it was not meant for heavy weight people or people sitting on both sides of the tables. Then, there was a 2-step down to the bathroom, kitchenette and 2 "bedrooms" from the kitchen area. In the bedroom, on one of the 2 Queen beds, you had to crawl to get to the wall side due to the VERY low ceiling. The other bedroom (containing the twin beds), entrance through the first one, was a step up and also had a somewhat low ceiling. Main entrance to the "cabin" was via a 2nd floor deck, and a spiral staircase inside led from the ground to the great room. The 3rd floor (master bedroom suite?) is nice except the strangely configured ceiling. My wife and I are "senior" citizens so going up and down stairs all week was not convenient nor comfortable. In the one time we tried to use the cloths washer/dryer, The washer failed and the dryer could not dry the soaked clothes so we had to go to a coin laundramat in town just to dry what had (almost) been washed. In closing, it's convenient location near town and outside appearance are nice but generally speaking, we were not impressed by Otter's Place.

Many unacceptable issues....dishwasher broke, old stained washcloths, broken grill, too few dish towels, pans with broken handles and scratched Teflon, etc

Very peaceful and quiet location! Relaxing place to sit outside and listen to the South Fork of the Rio Grande with a mountain on opposite side of river (instead of housing). The kitchen has plenty of space. There is an extra alcove with another refrigerator, which came in handy. The master suite was very spacious. The room with twin beds only accommodates children. The mattresses in the bedroom with two beds needs to be replaced badly. We had a group of 9 (2 kids and 7 adults) and it was just right. The home needs one more outside trash receptacle - especially for large groups! We would stay there again!

This home was spacious for our group, plenty of room for gathering with lots of rooms for guest privacy.

We absolutely loved Otter’s Place! There were only two negative things. #1 There was a wooden spiral staircase to the lower level that were treacherous! Two of our children fell down them. Luckily, no injuries. #2. We couldn’t regulate the heat cool enough. It wasn’t miserable, just a little warm for us. We would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful property, well maintained and had tons of room to spread out! My college buddies and our families loved to layout of the home and had more than enough room to have a great time!!

This property was perfect for our group of people. We did have some issues with the plumbing that was a little disconserting and would like to have seen the weeds mowed down inthe driveway. All in all we were happy with this property.

The house was perfect for what we needed. Everyone had their own space. The place was clean, well taken care of and has a perfect view in the backyard! I would recommend staying here.

The house needs some TLC. A good cleaning inside and out would help tremendously.

The house was very accommodating and views are absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful time and look forward to our return.
