The location of this cabin is pretty amazing. It sits right on the river and it’s beautiful. The cabin is very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful time staying along the river. The house is nicely appointed with plenty of games @ puzzles for our one rainy day. Fish were caught, meals were shared and relaxation was had in abundance. We’ll definitely return for a longer stay.
Note to owners Your microwave does not work and the lights in bath steadily flicker -
Would stay again, great location right on creek.Out of town just far enough and easy to get back to.Durango has plenty of cool places to find food and intertainment.
We celebrated our 22nd Anniversary at this beautiful cabin! It was perfect and we enjoyed the river running through the backyard. Cabin was very clean. Great location from town. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy this place again.
This is the third year in a row I’ve stayed at this cabin. The first year was just to visit Durango then I started riding in the Iron Horse bike race. I plan on staying at this place every year moving forward. The creek behind the place is awesome and it’s only twenty minutes or so from Durango.
All I hoped it would be. Had been looking forward to our visit the entire winter and did not disappoint. Spent each morning with my coffee out looking at the sunshine on the rushing water. Being greeted by an ouzel, crane or duck flying the river. A momma duck with 8 babies swimming upstream near the shore was a treat! They all fought the rapids and made it to the destination. Bed was comfortable and just the right amount of bedding to keep window cracked to hear the water. Instant hot water for shower :- Was a great getaway to relax.
We really enjoyed staying at this cozy cabin by the river. It was great to come back each night, light a fire to warm up, and make dinner. Kids loved having their own "tiny house" to stay in. Everything was comfortable and as described.
We took a vacation with my grandparents. We all enjoyed the cabin overall. The best part is the river and peacefulness of the whole place! Cabin was very cozy, hot water, and stocked well!! We had a glorious week with family!
great location; great job of stocking the cabin; great communication; we aren't into big tourist trap-type places so relaxing & enjoying nature is first on our list for time away & we weren't disappointed. thanks for always responding to our dumb questions, we appreciate your patience while we got settled in!
THE PROPERTY WAS VERY CLEAN AND AIRY. THE WEB SITE DESCRIBES AND SHOWS THIS CABIN VERY NICELY AND ACCURATELY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO STAYING AGAIN NEXT YEAR..

Sitting by the river was awesome! But in order to go out the kitchen door to the deck we had to go outside the cabin around and use a key to unlock the door so we could open it, the keypad on that door does not work. There were weeds and dandelions all over the yard nothing was really groomed the deck was dirty the coals for the little grill wouldn't light, no matches or lighter to light it. We bought new fluid, coals and lighter that we brought home with us. The bathroom lights flickered most the time. I'd like to believe it was clean, but after taking the pillow cases off, I was disappointed to see a blood stain on one pillows and the others were questionable. Nice location from Durango. Easy to find. Bed was fairly comfortable. We've stayed in better maintained homes and cabins. Sorry to disappoint you but I feel this quaint little cabin could use some love. Thank you,Darla

Texas residents:
We started visiting the Durango area in the summer and quickly fell in love with the area...enough so that we decided we wanted to share with our family and friends.
Once we arrived in Durango, we soon realized that this area is all that we expected (and more). We also knew that we wanted to find a vacation home on the water. When we found this cabin we knew it was a perfect place to spend quality downtime with our family. One of our favorite things to do is to sit on the deck and enjoy the sound of the water flowing by.
We hope that you will enjoy your time at our cabin as much as we do.
