About this property

Charming riverfront cabin with mountain view, firepit, washer/dryer & grill

Escape to a peaceful mountain retreat in the Rocky Mountains of southern Colorado, where the sounds of the nearby Rio Grande create a relaxing backdrop for your stay. With a rustic cabin atmosphere, a spacious porch, and easy access to outdoor adventures, this secluded getaway is an inviting place to unplug, reconnect with nature, and make lasting vacation memories.

Inside, a bright and welcoming interior offers plenty of space to relax after a day of exploring. Settle into the plush furnishings with a good book, stretch out for a movie on the large TV, or gather with family and friends to share stories from the day's adventures. The full kitchen features updated appliances, a charming dining nook, and a breakfast bar, making it easy to prepare meals and enjoy time together. A high chair is also provided for younger guests.

Comfortable, spacious bedrooms offer a restful place to recharge for another day in the mountains. Families traveling with children will especially appreciate the dedicated playroom, complete with books, toys, and a TV to keep little ones entertained.

Step out onto the spacious porch with your morning coffee and enjoy the peaceful surroundings as the sun rises over the landscape. Just steps away, the Rio Grande invites you to slow down and enjoy the soothing sounds of the flowing water. During warmer months, the river is a wonderful destination for fishing, rafting, and kayaking, while nearby trails offer opportunities to hike through the area's beautiful scenery and discover breathtaking waterfalls.

For winter adventures, Wolf Creek Ski Area is approximately 20 miles away, offering access to excellent skiing and snowboarding. Whether you're planning a quiet riverside escape, a family vacation, or an adventure-filled mountain getaway, this rustic Colorado retreat offers a comfortable place to experience the natural beauty of the region in every season.

Place was great for two families of five. Nice to have the river to fish. Would stay here again. Wonderful location. Appliances could use an upgrade, not certain the dishwasher works.

The key pad on the door needs to be explained better. The instructions say to turn deadbolt to the left but actually it needs turned to the right. There were a few more cob webs than to be expected especially on the lamp shades. The sink up in the loft won't drain. But great cabin with a great view!!!

Great cabin for our group of 8. It was an easy drive to ski wolf creek. We didn’t have much time at the house to enjoy the river because we skied all day but the river is beautiful. We cooked all our meals and the grill was nice to have. Bring your own dish soap because there wasn’t any. Great stay! We’d stay here again!

It was perfect for our family, we loved this property. The cabin is roomy, and had everything we needed. The river was right out the door and we enjoyed the outdoors.

Checkin at 4 pm for a full priced day is ridiculous.

perfect house for family

This house was charming and perfect for our family of 5. The kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of room to spread out. The back porch/yard area was by far our favorite area to hang out. It is what made us pick this location over others.

Relax and have your stress float away

Loved the location, firepit and rustic log home. Clean and decorated with generational pictues and accents throughout. Really distressed and enjoyed the wildlife on the river. Water was high and running fast so great attention to children was made at all times.

Christmas family vacation

Great place to stay, right in the river. A few hiccups getting in but they were remedied quickly. Plenty of room for our family of 10 with extra beds if needed. We wish there was lighting over the bar area and maybe an extra table for games and puzzles but we made due.

Rio river lodge

Great, beautiful location beautiful home thank you very much for letting us stay in your home. The river is beautiful. There are only suggestions. Are the trash was pretty difficult to handle because animals would get in it each night even with the straps tightened down so a different type of trash barrel, maybe would work , Your house had wonderful amenities, thank you

6/10 Okay

Awesome Views and Cabin but…

We couldn’t have been happier with the views and the outdoor space. The riverfront was incredible - able to do a little fly fishing just a few yards from the porch. The views from the living room downstairs were perfect also. Everything you need to cook, great laundry room, bathrooms were great also. Two complaints - one was an oversight, but the other is worth noting, and would probably keep us from staying again. No sheets were cleaned on any bed…maybe the owner or their family stayed between the previous guests and our stay (1 month previous), but either way - we spent the first 3 hours washing bedding so we could sleep the first night. Vacasa refunded the cleaning fee and the first night’s stay. The most concerning was the smoke smell. This was either from cigarette or cigar smoke (most likely) or from the wood burning stove (unlikely). Either way, it was enough to transfer smoke smell onto everything we took with us: pillows, blankets, jackets, clothes (whether worn or still packed and un-worn in our suitcase)…even our shoes smell of smoke. We certainly were disappointed about those two things, but still had a great time.
