Ute Bluff Lodge

We stayed here driving through town on our way to Durango. It was easy to find and check in was very smooth. We got upgraded for free due to someone else's cancellation which was very nice. The room had a cabin feel and everything we needed. The only downside was the bed was very firm, it was a bit uncomfortable.

Great little lodge with pet friendly cabins. Stayed with 2 teenagers and our dog for 5 days to ski Wolf Creek. Perfect place to stay. Cabin was rustic, clean, cozy and set up nicely. The owner, Jose, was super nice to speak with, and is a veteran. Hard to beat this place.
Stayed here again over New Year’s 2023-24. New owners, but same great value. Pet friendly, south fork location near the slopes. Definitely not The Ritz, but it is really cozy and family friendly when it’s more about the alpine skiing and riding than it is where you’re staying.

Shannon was such a great host. She went above and beyond to make our stay nice and even helped us out with a ride when we had car trouble. We met some great people there and shared a campfire with families who have been coming there for years. Linens are new, and very soft. The facilities ( bathrooms) are very clean. We really enjoyed the people running this site. Thank you Shannon and Tom. We will be back soon.

Nice EV park, right off hwy. Friendly folks helped out a couple of skiers. Would definitely return!

Was allowed to do an early check in with ease. They offer complimentary tea and soda in the office. The room was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The room stayed quite warm even though we had the heat off so we slept with the window open the whole time. We let them know and check out and they seemed to get right on it though. It is right on the main road so a little loud at night, but just bring ear plugs and all is well.

Ute Bluff Lodge is perfect for what it provides. Safe affordable lodging and a steppingstone distance to Wolf Creek Ski Resort.

My wife's comment, A little noisy from adjoining rooms so earplugs may be helpful. Water is hard so soap won't foam.
Enjoy

We booked this place as a stop over for a night. It was a gem of a place. The rooms were on the small side, but they were still comfortable. The people were so nice and the amenities were great! We used their grill, laundry, and hot tub. They also have drinks and snacks for their travelers. I'd definitely stay here again.

Very casual place. Office was closed but a key was left in an envelope with our name, also just stick it back in the key box when you check out. There are free cokes in a cooler for tenants! A recreation center, a very nice hot tub area, and overall a very nice area. Only complaint would be our toilet wasn't working properly. But I was thoroughly pleased with this quaint lodge.

This place is great. Me and my wife accidentally purchased a single king bed and the owner upgraded us to a two queen room so we could put our toddler in the other bed. The premises has a fire pit and other amenities that make your stay here comfortable. The service was phenomenal. We will definitely be back.

Ute Bluff Lodge was exactly where we needed it to be after a long drive west from Kansas. The small double-
queen room had all the amenities: good memory foam mattresses, microwave and refrigerator, table and two chairs where we ate dinner and reviewed our day, excellent water pressure in the shower, coffee maker.
There is a hot tub and the host told us to take all the ice we needed for our ice chest.
We were on the highway end of the building but the double-glazed windows shut out the traffic noise.
All for less than half the price of a room at the large chain whose clerk told us we had to book because we had no other options.

My friend and I booked a room at the last minute due to travel plans abruptly changing. We were very happy with our room which was clean, good-sized with a microwave and coffee maker. Beds were super comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. Got to sit outside in the early morning and watch the hummingbirds feed from the flower baskets hanging outside the rooms. No air-conditioner which is probably a bit of a shock to travelers not familiar with how cool Colorado nights can get, but they do provide a fan. Would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay there again.

We've stayed here before!! Loved it then loved it now! We arrived late in the evening and our room was ready for us, nice and cool breeze, fresh towels, and comfy beds!! Will definitely stay again when we're in town!! Thanks for the county hospitality!

Christian and Margareta are amazing people. We've been family friends for years, and we just spent last Christmas with them at Ute Bluff Lodge. They treat you like family and they are also very professional. They actually were able to take care of our entire family, which included around 30 people, which is no small feat. We stayed with them for 3 days or so, and they were nothing but giving and hospitable during our stay. Their well water there is fantastic. In fact, all their accommodations are great. We plan to visit them again in the future to experience more fun and adventure. Highly recommended.

My family and I stayed at Ute Bluff Lodge in our RV and we didn't want to leave! We felt like we were Family! The hospitality was Fantastic and the owners are the sweetest RV campsite owner's we've ever met! They are very friendly and helpful. They helped us find a place to eat locally for Thanksgiving and suggested places to visit. They offered to get games, movies, etc for my daughter.

The wifi here is the best I've ever had at a campsite. They have two clean and working hot tubs - I saw the owner dump the water and scrub one while we stayed. They have a rec room with a bathroom and kitchen in it that you can use if you need one.

While we didn't stay in the cabin or any of their lodging areas. The owner said he had just bought all new mattresses, bedding material, towels and fixed up a ton of other things. I love how I'm always seeing them working on projects at the lodge. You can tell they are hard workers and that they truly care about the lodge as well as your stay! It's great to see!

I am recommending Ute Bluff Lodge to all of my traveling friends and we'll be back next time we have to come this way!!

Beautiful lodge in a quaint little town. The owner was so friendly! He gave us recommendations on things to do and was so welcoming. He made our experience even more memorable. The rooms were very clean and the two outdoor hot tubs were a great bonus. Would definitely recommend this place.

I was just traveling through and needed a place to crash. It was after hours but the staff was still very accommodating. The room was very clean and price was excellent. Even scored some home made caramel . Even though I was just traveling through the lodge in general was very nice and it would be a great basecamp to explore the area.

I spent two summers at Ute Bluff Lodge, Cabins, and RV Park in my RV and loved every minute of it. The owner works hard and goes the extra mile to make sure all the guests have what they need and feel like part of the family! The park is small and beautiful and very well maintained. From Ute Bluff you can easily travel all over the region or you can float, fish, hike, ATV, and drive the NPS roads without leaving South Fork area. There is so much to see and do here that even spending two whole summers was not enough to do everything! I highly recommend this resort for any season for a wonderful Colorado outdoor living experience!

The rooms are always clean and are pet friendly!! I love the hot tubs and being close to the mountains. We have stayed there several times and have never had any issues. The staff are great. All this for a very affordable price!!!!!

We had a bad experience when we went to south fork Colorado in July 2017. The cabin we rented for a week was terrible. It wasn’t nothing like what we expected. So we checked out and we had our lab with us so we didn’t know what we were going to do. We thought our trip was ruined. Then we called Ute Bluff Lodge and they allowed pets and we checked in. They were so awesome and super nice people. They helped us get a cabin and even gave us a discount for the terrible experience we had with the other cabin that they didn’t have to because it wasn’t one of there’s. We take a family vacation to south fork every year and we will never go anywhere else but Ute Bluff Lodge. Great people and very clean cabins. The only thing I wish was different was the privacy on the cabin. They are right next to each other but everything else makes up for that. My family and I can never think you guys enough for what y’all did for us. Thank you guys again for the awesome visit we had. Hope to see you guys in 2018.

I stayed here for a week this summer (2017.) I was very happy with my room - there was a king bed with a new memory-foam mattress, a good, clean bathroom, and a medium-sized fridge. The owners are friendly and helpful and the staff are efficient and unobtrusive.

There is a large community room with a full kitchen, tv area and tables. There are books and games. Outdoor grills are available in various parts of the park, which includes rooms, cabins and an RV park.

It is an attractive and comfortable place to stay. I would definitely go back. I especially liked the birds, most particularly the hummingbirds, which seemed to like the gardens and flower baskets.
