About this property

Classic Colorado Cabin on the Florida River - 20 Minutes to Downtown Durango

NOTE: 4WD/AWD required in winter (Thanksgiving through late March).

Enjoy end-of-the-road privacy in this quintessential Colorado river cabin located within a 20 minute drive from Durango. In the mountains and on the Florida river, this is a great location as "base camp" while enjoying all that the Durango area has to offer.

It’s all about the riverfront location!  Outside, the wraparound deck is a great place to enjoy morning coffee, relax in the rocking chairs or fish, and it’s a great place to view the starry night skies.  Fall foliage is spectacular with aspen and other seasonal trees surrounding the home, and winter snow creates a unique mountain getaway at this home.

The cabin layout includes the main level with kitchen, living room, dining room and the large deck at river's edge, with both a covered section containing rocking chairs and benches, and an open area with picnic table, BBQ grill chiminea fireplace and steps leading to the lawn and riverbank beyond.  The open living area and deck make a fine gathering place for friends and family.  There is an AC Unit in the upstairs bedroom.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King (main level)
2nd Bedroom & Loft - Queen & 2 Twins (upper level)

The cabin is not pet friendly - please do not bring pets or emotional service animals.

With Vallecito Lake a 15 minute drive, and Lemon Lake 8 minute drive from our home guests have easy access to robust fishing, boating, and paddle boarding opportunities. This home has very limited cell service.

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

Peaceful and relaxing riverfront

This was everything we hoped for and more. We enjoyed truly relaxing mornings with coffee on the porch listening to the river and watching the hummingbirds and blue jays.

Cabin by a River

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin was perfect for our needs. It was by a peaceful, babbling river that provided a calming background noise to our stay. It is a great location that is a somewhat central to the jeep trails we enjoy. It is clean and well stocked. We had a slight problem on our first day, but it was quickly taken care of by the manager. We would recommend this lovely spot!

There could have been better instructions on what to do with the trash. And it was missing a can opener.

Amazing cabin on the river

Was everything we expected and more. Great location and the river was absolutely amazing. Such a perfect get away to enjoy the mountains and nature. Proposed to my now fiancé along side the river there and it was magical! Couldn’t recommend this place more.
