WELCOME TO THE SPRUCE LODGE At sawmill meadow

The Spruce Lodge at Sawmill Meadow is an historic lodge in the heart of South Fork, Colorado - a town known as "the basecamp for adventure." The lodge changed ownership in early 2022 to house new adults who attend "The Gap at Sawmill Meadow" - a gap year program for new adults. The property continues to operate as a hotel as well and has undergone extensive updates to all of the rooms. We also have 8, 30 amp RV spots available to rent during the warmer months of the year. Our small RV lot allows for a less crowded RV experience with all the same, beautiful views. And we have the most affordable rates in South Fork!  If you have stayed here before, you will notice some of the changes. And if this is your first time, welcome to South Fork. We hope you enjoy southern Colorado!
