Great Value for a Weary Traveller
The lodge is great and a real value. I was SO-oooo tired that I had to pull over for sleep. Was glad I did - it was quiet, clean and convenient.
Would stay there again. It is dog friendly and feels totally safe. It is not fancy - so, if you're the kind of person who needs ultra-modern and turn-down service, this is not the place for you.

Love the electronic check in process, it was super easy and convenient! The property is an old school style motel that is clean and safe and next door to a great Mexican restaurant. Can't beat the value!

27” @ Wolf Creek
Brown water on the hot side of the sink, microwave dish not turning, proper knobs on a/c -heating unit needed.
Bed was very comfortable and hangers delivered promptly (though I’m not sure why there weren’t any in the room initially?)
While the property is dog, friendly, people should have a little more respect on picking up their dogs excrements from the front lawn area!

Fine for the price. Honest staff.
Left my camera in my room. Staff made sure I got it back. 100% for honesty. Nothing fancy but clean and tidy. Can’t beat the price. Good Mexican food next door

We had a phenomenal stay at Rainbow Lodge in South Fork, CO. Rooms were exceptionally clean and very cozy. The location was absolutely superb, and the management was wonderful, friendly and kind, made us feel like family. We will definitely be returning! 5 star location for sure!
