Luxury Riverfront Retreat | Private Hot Tub | Media Room | Mountain Views

Welcome to Mountain Shadow Retreat, a premier riverfront retreat offering luxury in an unforgettable Colorado setting. Nestled along the banks of the South Fork Rio Grande River, this exceptional home blends upscale comfort with breathtaking riverfront views and endless access to outdoor adventure.

Relax on the expansive riverside deck with sweeping views of the river and surrounding mountains, soak in the private hot tub just steps from the river, or gather on the deck in the evenings under the stars. Whether you’re entertaining or unwinding, every space is designed for elevated relaxation.

Inside, the main level features three luxurious king bedrooms, each thoughtfully appointed for comfort. The primary suite offers a spa-like five-piece ensuite bath and Smart TV, while the two additional king bedrooms are also equipped with Smart TVs and share a spacious full bathroom. Upstairs, a bunk room and a fourth full bathroom provide additional accommodations ideal for families or groups.

The chef’s gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with dual ovens, a gas range, a large island, and an inviting dining area—perfect for hosting memorable meals. Step outside to the riverfront deck, complete with a gas grill and Blackstone for elevated outdoor dining.

After a day of adventure, retreat to the private media room located above the garage—an ideal space for movie nights and relaxation. Two convertible futons provide additional sleeping options without sacrificing comfort.

House is amazing. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The location makes it super easy to go do activities during the day and to sit on the porch in the evenings soaking up all of God’s beautiful creation. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely book again.

Wolf Creek ski weekend

We had our adult children and their spouses in addition to good friends (8 adults in all). The house is perfect for a large group and is only 20 minutes from Wolf Creek ski area. The house is spacious with an outstanding kitchen and a large great room. We’re already planning to rent it again next year!
