About this property

River Stone | Charming Log Cabin Near Florida River, 20 Min to Town, Dogs OK

River Stone (in Forest Grove Estates) is a classic Colorado river cabin is located within a 20-min drive from Durango. In the mountains and near the Florida river, this is a great location while enjoying all that the Durango area has to offer.

Outside, the deck is a great place to enjoy morning coffee or view the starry night skies from the porch swing.  Fall foliage is spectacular with aspen and other seasonal trees surrounding the home, and winter snow creates a unique mountain getaway at this home. Fishing is a hop, skip and jump away across the road. There are many hiking trails in this area, as well.

Inside, the cabin layout includes a full kitchen, living room with fireplace and streaming TV, dining area.  Both bedrooms and bathroom with walk-in shower are also on the main level. We have plenty of family board games for you to enjoy. The cabin also has a washer/dryer.

Best cabin ever!

We came to the area looking at a cabin of our own. This was such a lovely place to stay. Very warm and cozy. It was in the 20s outside. Amenities excellent. Will book again!

Wonderful cabin outside of Durango

This is a fantastic property. The cabin looks very rustic which is the appeal of it but it has all the conveniences you need. The cabin is very clean and the beds are very comfortable. IIIwoulcamansilverton,ouTelluride

Great Little Log Cabin

This cabin was super clean. The King sized bed and provided pillows were very comfortable (we did not use the bed in the other room). All of the appliances worked perfectly. The cabin was located in a residential neighborhood with well maintained dirt/gravel roads to walk along, and the beautiful Florida River flowed through the neighborhood. We enjoyed daily walks and met several nice neighbors. Linens and towels were good quality. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing soap, clothes detergent, as well as a starter pack of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. We had brought our Netflix password, so were able to watch some movies at night. The wifi worked great, and though the website said cell service was poor, we had no trouble making or receiving calls. My husband is in construction, so was very impressed with the construction of the log cabin - very well built and maintained. And lastly, communication with the property management was superior - good access and immediate response to any inquiries we had. Very nice property. We are thinking of going again!

Relaxing Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I wanted to check out the Lake Vallecito area, so this was a perfect and easy location. The surrounding area is beautiful country. The property had great space from the other houses so you we felt we has privacy when we used the front porch daily for coffee or evening beverage. We walked the neighborhood and walked out to 'Treasure Island' which is an actual island between 2 rivers; very lush and wooded. The cabin is exactly as depicted, well appointed. Beds are very comfortable and cozy couch to crash on at end of day of adventure. Don't miss the opportunity to drive north to check out Purgatory and then Silverton and finally Ouray!

Amazing!!!

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: Traveled all the beautiful hot spots (Durango, Silverton, Telluride, Purgatory) and over the course of the week all I was thinking was ... can we just go back to the cabin. CO is great but the cabin in unforgettable. Beautiful, cozy, finely appointed, clean and so easy to relax in. Clear communication with VRC. Probably one of the best Vacation rentals I’ve ever stayed in!

Very Nice Cabin!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at this cabin and had a great time! The cabin was very clean and the bed was comfortable as well as the couch and chairs. We did not run out of supplies as the house had adequate supplies and we had brought our own as well. The kitchen appliances were fine and we enjoyed the coffee maker and we discovered the filters and were pleased as we had forgotten ours. The subdivision is lovely and provides a very nice walk among some beautiful cabins. The cabin location is about 20 minutes from town and we were prepared for the ride which was so beautiful as we had timed the fall colors and they were quite the show! The porch was nice to sit on after a day exploring Durango. Some suggestions on up keep for the cabin: fix the door latch. My husband took two cuts to his fingers with the screws on that latch. He was nice enough to put red tape over the cutting edge of the screws so that no one else would get cut. The door could possibly use a new latch as you have to lock it for it to stay shut. The pots and pans need upgrading. They look terrible and cheap. Also for the women out there...only one mirror and it's in the bathroom. It would be nice to have a mirror in the bedrooms. All in all I would not hesitate to stay here again. It is a Great place just could use a few things to make it even nicer. Enjoy!

Great Fall Get Away

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. It was immaculately clean and well appointed. It is convenient to town and the drive is beautiful. My husband and I have had an exhausting year and this home provided us with the respite that we needed away from the hustle and bustle of our lives back in Dallas TX. I would highly recommend this property as great vacation get away.

Stay

Charming cabin-needed a few repairs( note was left). VRBO listing stated we would have a sample of local coffee ( no coffee found). VRBO listing stated cabin would have Kleenex. I have allergies and had to drive 20 minutes on mountain roads to purchase Kleenex. We cleaned up after ourselves daily- all towels were laundered before we left. Only sheets had to be washed. We washed and put away all kitchen items. We followed all discharge instructions. We picked up after OUR pet but watched the NEIGHBORS black lab come onto the rental property to do his business with NO neighbor supervision! I don't go on vacation to pick up after someone else's pet!

Beautiful cabin and very comfortable beds.

The cabin was very clean and fully stocked in the kitchen with what ever you may need. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, especially the king bed in the master bedroom. Although the property is a good size and close to a river, there is no access to the river. There is no fishing on the river anywhere close the cabin. It is also next to the main road which was noisey at times. Overall, it was a lovely home.
