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.

Perfection! Pure relaxation! Beauty!

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 is authentic as it comes! My family of 4 ( my husband, 3 year old and 2 year as well as myself) absolutely LOVED it! The river, treasure island, and the serenity of it was everything we dreamed! If we could have extended our stay we would have! My son still asks if we can go back to “the cabin.”

Thank you for being a wonderful host! The property was wonderful and the neighborhood was friendly. The walks and fishing on treasure island were perfect! Morning coffee on the patio waiting for the sun to reach the cabin was one of the high points of every day. When we come back to the area, we will be looking to see if this property is available!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
The cabin is beautiful and very comfy and clean. Only reason for the 3 star rating is due to the following:1. Every dish we used had to be cleaned due to old crusted food. We ended up buying disposable dishware. 2. Location pictures are very misleading. Images made it seem like the cabin was more secluded and that was not the case. There are other homes quite close. Also, a road backs to the property so if you open the windows the swish of cars is easily heard. 3. River access. Images made it seem like it was easily accessible but that was not the case. We were hoping for a more secluded area and unfortunately it was not what we got. The cabin itself was lovely and a wonderful experience for our kids. There were plenty of blankets and towels and other necessities. The king size bed was the most comfortable one we’ve ever had during a stay which we absolutely loved. Now that we know what to expect we still would consider returning. It really is a lovely cabin.

Relaxing in the Rockies

We loved the cabin and it's close vicinity to both Lake Vallecito and Durango. We spent our time enjoying both the lake and the local activities. The drive to Silverton was scenic and beautiful! The cabin was everything we expected from the pictures and description of the cabin. We enjoyed grilling in the evening on the Weber grill and spent our mornings on the front porch taking in the breath-taking views. We will definitely make plans to return!
