With its five bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and a main level consisting of a kitchen and a kitchenette, plus enough elbow room to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, this home is perfect for large families and get-togethers with old friends. You'll love having the river right behind the home, especially when you get to enjoy your morning coffee while pulling up trout just steps from the back deck. Inside, the downstairs area enjoys two bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed. The main level has lots of comfortable furniture in the living room, plus a large flatscreen TV. You'll also have plenty of space to cook in with the kitchen and kitchenette featuring two stoves, two refrigerators, and two dining areas with tables. Upstairs, you'll find a main bedroom with a queen-size bed, a full bath, and a sitting area, perfect for a little quiet reading time. Outside you'll have decks with mountain and river views to enjoy your al-fresco meals on. This home enjoys a two-car garage and there is plenty of space for ATVs and trailers, and the house sits on three acres of land, so the kids will have lots of grassy space to run around on while you're here, plus the Rio Grande is right behind the home, so everyone will have plenty of outdoor fun during hotter months.

What's nearby:
Get in some exercise while taking in spectacular views when you take the mountain bike out on Beaver Mountain Trail, Tewksberry Trail, or Trout Trail. Rio Grande Club and Resort is just three miles away with terrific green fairways to tee off on. Need some bait for tomorrow's fishing trip? Just head over to Wolf Creek Anglers and Rio Outfitters (both just walking distance from the home) for all the bait and tackle you'll need.

Loved the location and stream access. Coffee pot is not great and dishwasher leaves soap on the dishes. Has some interesting angles that are challenging for tall folks. Otherwise it’s a nice clean place with a nice deck and all the amenities.

A few glitches plus advice from current VRBO owners
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.

Good fairly secluded property. Beautiful view on the river.
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!

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.

Quiet House, lots of room
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!

Unique property
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.

Excellent place to stay
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!

The house is very dated.
Our groups enjoyed how spacious the house was but the house is dated. It had an older musty smell to it. The garage doors were tricky to get closed. The the beds and furniture all were dated and a bit worn. We enjoyed the house but for the price we expected more.

Great property! Beautiful place
We had a wonderful time at this house! The river is right there for fishing and it really close to town. The accommodations were perfect for our group with several beds and plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. We could not make the dishwasher work so we did all the dishes the old fashioned way. The shower in the small bathroom gets very cold or very hot when someone else uses the water anywhere in the house so be prepared. It could use a good dusting. Overall we are very pleased and had a really great time! I would recommend renting this place for a large group.
