All the best that Colorado has to offer is waiting for you
you at the Arbor House Inn, an excellent choice of South Fork, Colorado lodging. We look
forward to being your Colorado vacation headquarters and invite you to be our next special guest.
Located on the banks of the South Fork of the Rio Grande River, our Colorado bed and breakfast lodging will pamper you with decorator ambiance, unparalleled service and delicious breakfasts. Five themed guestrooms accommodate up to ten overnight guests and provide the perfect location for small gatherings, relaxing retreats and special occasions. The Arbor House Inn is the ideal setting for a romantic getaway or an intimate mountain wedding and honeymoon — all in the splendor and romance of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
There are countless ways to indulge your passion for the great outdoors while staying at the Arbor House Inn. In spring, summer, and fall, enjoy a day of golf at 8,500 feet. The highly acclaimed Rio Grande Club (rated #6 Best New Upscale Public Course in the U.S., 2004) provides the challenge of a mountain course and river course all rolled into one beautiful outing. Fly fishing your bug? Catch the "big one" on the Rio Grande, in one of the nearby mountain lakes and plentiful streams or right here off the banks of the Arbor House Inn. Check out the local wildlife while hiking, biking, rafting, ATVing or horseback riding. Looking for a little culture in your life? Enjoy dinner out and an evening of live entertainment at the Creede Repertory Theatre in Creede, Colorado.
And when temperatures fall and snow comes again to the mountains, experience everything wonderful about winter in the high country. Just 18 miles up Wolf Creek Pass is Wolf Creek Ski Area boasting the most snow and the best powder in Colorado. Plan your day around downhill skiing or snowboarding, exploring the many well-maintained trails in the area on cross-country skis, snowmobiles, or even snowshoes. Experience the magnificent beauty of the Colorado winter at the Continental Divide on a snowcat tour. And, after a full day of play in the great outdoors, come on home to the Arbor House Inn for some aprés ski goodies by the fire and some "R & R" time in the outdoor hot tub under the stars.
Whatever the season, activity, or occasion, the Arbor House Inn is the perfect fulfillment for the discriminating traveler's accommodation needs. Check out our Attractions and Specials pages for many extras. Come, be our guest, and
"Let us make your special occasion a true celebration!"
A note from the innkeepers ... 
Looking over our reservation calendar recently, I noticed we’ve got a number of “yellow- highlighted” dates this summer. Yellow highlights in our world mean “weddings”— some big, some not so big; many elopements—just the bride and groom. They’re all good in our book. We’ve hosted hundreds of weddings over the years, but each one is very special, not only to the wedding couple, but to us here at the inn, as well. We love to hear the individual stories of how each couple met, how he proposed, where she got her dress, what their future plans are, etc. … Each story is a little different, but they all have the same underlying thread: being in love, getting married, and sharing life’s journey together.
So, when you get right down to it, there’s a boat load of meaning in each yellow-highlighted date box. We feel extremely privileged to have even a very small part in the very big meaning of a little yellow highlight on an everyday calendar. We congratulate and wish the very best life can offer to all our wedding couples — past and future.
We LOVE “yellow” …
Keith & Laurie
