There isn't very much to pick from in this upper Rio Grande valley. It's just not a year round location so understandably hard to keep going. But this place was a JOKE! We paid $120 for a "rustic cabin" where the entire floor tilted south. The bathroom sink tilted east enough that the soap kept sliding off. Half the walls... More

My email to them: Stayed in the RV area. Never been to a campground that did not have cable TV. Why don't you tell us in the web. When complained to your managers I was summarily dismissed. RUDE. You claim to have WiFi. That is basically a lie. Your employees claim it is "slow" that is a lie. If you... More

#24 cabin was clean and roomy. We couldn't open windows to get the nice mountain air. It sat next to the highway and for parents with small children, inconvenient. The "management" was very rude and argumentative when asked for drinks for our catered meal, even though we would pay for the "extra".

I chose this place because accommodations in Creede were full due to filming "Lone Ranger" (no, didn't get a chance to see Johnny Depp unfortunately). Price seemed high but it included a full breakfast buffet, which was good if you liked meat and biscuits and gravy. They did have an omelette with American cheese. No fruit or bread. Servers were...

I agree with the other reviewers who found these folks argumentative and unpleasant. I reserved a cabin in early June for a late August stay, leaving a credit card number for the deposit. I called back half an hour after reserving to say I'd made a mistake and asking to cancel. I was told this would have to go through... More

Can't comment on the lodging facilities because we just ate at their restaurant. We were on our way back from a visit to Creede and we were hungry. We saw a beautiful looking area coming down the mountain and the Cottonwood Cove restaurant. It was pleasant inside and our waitress was helpful and nice. My wife liked her food and... More

The best things about Cottonwood Cove is the location and the superb hospitality of the proprietors. I can't say enough good things about them. They are cordial and very helpful in providing local information and insight into things to do while in the region of the Upper Rio Grande. The location is also very picturesque, and Creede and South Fork... More

We're relatively local and booked 2 cabin nights with the intent of having them help us with a private boat shuttle so as not to bring 2 vehicles, save gas, and the kiddos can fish the pond. While trying to arrange the shuttle the Texan on the other line talked really loud and told us that they have no availability... More

I stayed numerous times while growing up on family vacations. We had family with a house in Creede, but we stayed here for the nostalgic feeling it gave us every summer. What do you expect when you are in the middle of Colorado? It was very peaceful and the staff was always friendly. I have had my stays at high... More

This trip was one we took to see the changing fall colors and revisit the beautiful areas around South Fork and Creede. The website for Cottonwood Cove cannot be believed. We stayed in cabin #23 for one night. The linens were clean and the bed comfortable, but the cabin is so outdated that it is a fire trap. The electrical... More
