Lodge has been nicely updated and while the rooms are small, it is more than adequate. Bathroom has been retrofitted; shower could be small for larger clients. We had no problem and the owners are very helpful!

It was quaint and clean. Old school mom and pop place. Everything was tidy. The walls are thin but our neighbors were quiet for NYE. Good value.

Stayed one night after a long drive and I have to say it was perfect. It’s clean, quiet, modern and convenient. You also get some snacks and a water bottle which is really appreciated especially when there isn’t supermarkets around. Loved it!

Spruce Lodge lives up to its name

The new management is doing a wonderful job of making guests feel welcome. The Lodge is exactly as advertised and a very good location. There are walking trails nearby and the river flows right next to the lodge so it is a pretty sight to wake up to. We were a group of 10 in 4 rooms.

Windows were very dusty and dirty . Filled with bugs , eww . It’s also not dog friendly , which I was very disappointed. Owner allowed my dog to stay which was nice of her. Overall wasn’t a bad stay just small things I didn’t like. Also no kitchen and the rooms are very tiny

My husband and I stayed at this property for a night while driving across Colorado for vacation. South Fork, Colorado is a great town in the middle of the mountains! We enjoyed our stay at the Spruce Lodge. The room we stayed in looked like it was remodeled, yet it still had an old-school charm :) We could see the mountains from our door and smell the pine when we opened it. While there is no complimentary breakfast here, there are great food options in the area. Local eateries were within driving distance from the Lodge and I would definitely suggest Tiny Timbers for breakfast!! Their breakfast burritos and bacon, cheese, and green Chile croissant are delicious!!!:) The only thing I would suggest to the hotel is maybe offering guests the ability to turn on/ off the outside porch lights in front of their rooms. My husband and I really wanted to stargaze the night we stayed at the hotel, but we encountered a little light pollution from the porch light that evening. Overall, this hotel is a treasure that I'm happy we found on our vacation this past week :)

8/10 Very good

The staff were very nice and communicated effectively over text messages. Overall the room, mountain view and cleanliness were good but the centralized AC only had heating feature and the shower area was a bit restrictive. They kindly provided a large table fan but it was a bit too warm during the early evenings with all the heat during July.
