The facility is 2 stories with some separate, cute cabins in the back. We stayed in room #1, street side on the lower level. Though accommodations were basic, the room was immaculate and large, with 2 queen beds and night stands, a good size table & chair with flat screen TV, coffee pot with the necessary supplies, small fridge, microwave and still plenty of room to move around easily. Mattress & pillows were super comfy as were bed linens. Nice, quality drapes block the light well from the very large windows and the adjustable ceiling fan keeps the air moving & room comfy. The bath & dressing area in our room was newly updated & very nice. I really liked that the sink & dressing area was separate from the toilet/bath. One person could be in the bathroom or shower while someone else did hair & makeup or dressed.... works well for women traveling together. The place was clean and quiet, the bed was super comfy, bath water was hot & I could have my morning coffee..... that really checks everything off the list for this frugal traveler. But they also had a continental breakfast so we could grab a muffin or cereal for a quick breakfast, which helped save some bucks. The HUGE plus for this place is Tina. She was engaged from the moment we walked in the door. She was friendly and personable, attentive and reactive to our requests and needs & gave us all kinds of information and helpful tips. Thank you, Tina for a great stay.... you are a gem!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel this one is warranted…read more When we checked in, we discovered the room had no air conditioning. We were told by the owner that after about 9:00 PM the room would cool down from the river breeze, so we decided to stay. Unfortunately, the room never cooled off and remained uncomfortably hot all night. We were traveling with family, including a pregnant woman, which made the lack of air conditioning even more concerning. To make matters worse, it was nearly impossible to reach anyone for assistance. When I finally spoke with staff at their sister property late that night, I was told my only options were to either check out around midnight for a refund or stay and receive no refund. Asking a family to find another hotel in the middle of the night is not a reasonable solution. If your rooms don't have air conditioning, that should be clearly disclosed before booking. The location is beautiful, but the lack of transparency and poor customer service completely overshadowed our stay.

We rented the club house for the memorial. There was a rude man in there screwing the doors to the kitchen shut. We asked nicely when they will be done and the most we got out of him was 'ill be quiet'. We booked this place months in advance. DO NOT GO HERE. DO NOT RECCOMEND.

We rented a room and upon arriving, our toilet was filthy so we requested a new and bigger room. Our new room was fine but it lacked essentials like toilet paper and had 1 towel for the two of us. My husband took a hot tub that night and when he looked at it the next day he immediately took another shower hoping he would not get sick. It was filthy. My step son arrived the next day and in the middle of the night they were awakened by the real renters . My son was given the wrong key. My nephew rented another cabin and they did not have a shower head which was never fixed for them. They had to take showers with gushing water. To top it off, the manager invited all of us to a party that was being held in the rec room. We all attended to find the manager so drunk she was staggering. Granted she was off shift but proceeded to help the late comers totally waisted. Not impressive. We will never stay there again and my advice for every one is to stay clear of that place.

Hi there. I am writing this review in total support of the Spruce Lodge. I truly enjoyed my stay…read morehere even if it was for one evening to rest my head. I visited in early May of this year journeying through southern Colorado visiting my lifelong goal of reaching every national park in the country. So....just coming from Great Sand Dunes National Park exploring for the day, Spruce Lodge was only 66 miles away. Although South Fork is just a drive through town, ending my eventful day here was ideal for me. Also, the following day I was heading to Mesa Verde National Park 137 miles away but Spruce Lodge was situated right in between these 2 great parks so I highly recommend staying here especially because there's no towns or cities nestled in between if you were to bypass South Fork....if you're headed west like I was, you head straight into the mountains for a while. In my opinion...Spruce Lodge had aspects of part bed and breakfast with a villa and rustic feel to its rooms. Lol, I was sort of enamored with the looks of it all that I photographed my room and the grounds outside to post on Yelp explaining how cozy and clean I felt the accommodations were. Simply trying to explain...Spruce Lodge is a little mom and pop spot to stay at located right off the main road in South Fork. I checked in at the main lodge and was kindly given the keys to my room by the innkeeper. My room was based back outside the lodge towards the left hand side. It was connected as part of a townhouse/condo which was an unexpected surprise because all I was asking for was a simple place to sleep for the night. And yet I go so much more. My room inside had a cabin vibe to it and felt very clean. Also, there were 2 chairs next to the porch outside which I sat down on after dinner soaking up the setting sun before heading to bed. There is a BBQ restaurant right next door to the lodge that looked interesting but unfortunately the one night I was staying on a Monday evening, was the one night the BBQ place was closed. Still, the innkeeper recommended The Old Firehouse Restaurant just down the road and it was more than suffice. Old Firehouse serves American food offering sandwiches, burgers, soups, salads, pizza and classic dinners such as meat loaf and pot roast. I'd recommend going here if you're not a BBQ person or if the BBQ restaurant next door is closed. Finally, Spruce lodge has free continental breakfast offered starting 6:30 am. If you're interested in a full breakfast, I believe there's a restaurant that you pay for inside the actual lodge...though since I wanted an early start out to Mesa Verde the following day, the continental breakfast was plenty enough. Almost forgot, visiting in early May, my room rate was $65! That was fantastic for the situation and for what I believed to be a quality a place to stay. I can imagine when it's more in season, the rates would never be this cheap. In all, I'd certainly recommend choosing Spruce Lodge. For location, accommodations, price, food options and surroundings it's about as good as you'll find when trekking through southern Colorado or wherever your travels may take you.

Some of the picnic tables are covered, some are not, but there were lots of them, so likely you can find a covered table if you want. Parking is easy. The restrooms are small but clean. My only suggestion is that they get more trash cans. The only trash cans are located directly in front of the restrooms. There are both truck parking and car parking areas. 12-hour maximum stay. It's a really nice rest area. It comes up pretty quickly and the sign is kinda' subtle, so keep a close eye out for it
