About this property
Private Riverfront Escape on the Florida River | Hot Tub | 20 Min to DGO
Very few vacation rentals in Durango sit directly on the water - and even fewer offer over 350 feet of private river frontage on nine pristine acres. This extraordinary 4,800 sq ft cabin delivers a rare Colorado experience: total privacy, historic charm, expansive outdoor living, and your own stretch of the Florida River, all just 20 minutes from Downtown Durango.
Originally built in 1933 and thoughtfully expanded over the years, the home blends classic cabin warmth with modern comfort, making it an unforgettable retreat for families and groups. Gather under towering pines, relax in the private hot tub beside the river, wander across the footbridge to your own little island, or spend the afternoon fishing the stocked seasonal pond. With four ensuite bedrooms, multiple living spaces, and endless outdoor amenities, this is the kind of property where you arrive for adventure - but end up staying for the serenity.
This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your getaway and loved the beautiful riverside location. We’re also glad our communication was helpful and prompt. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!
Very beautiful and relaxing home and property. Deer and wild turkeys roamed through every day of our trip. The mattresses were probably the best we have ever experienced at a VRBO property. Went to sleep nightly with the sound of the river flowing by. Our dog loved the pond, streams and grass. Great fishing. Highly recommend and hope to return.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the home and property beautiful and relaxing, and that you enjoyed the peaceful sounds of the river throughout your stay. It sounds like you had some special wildlife encounters with the deer and wild turkeys, and we’re especially glad both you and your dog enjoyed the pond, streams, and grassy areas. We’re also delighted to hear the mattresses provided such a comfortable night’s sleep and that you enjoyed the fishing. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you back again!
The house and grounds were more beautiful than the pictures. The location was great and private but not too far out. We had a wonderful time and hated to leave.

This unique, many-hang-out spaces, property worked well for our party of 6. The large paved patio offered two fire pit options and plenty of lounge spaces near the creek that babbles and makes for great open window sleeping. The hot tub was clean and felt great. The pond needs more water. We utilized the outdoor and indoor fireplaces. The property management company was especially helpful in connecting to WiFi calling. We did have a regional power outage for 5 hours but the property offers games, candles and headlamps. There is no Verizon cell service at this location, thus the reference to WiFi calling. Starlink WiFi worked well for streaming movies and 4 of 6 heavy phone users. There are 6 bathrooms with each bedroom having their own bathroom, wonderful!
Such a beautiful property and home. So close to town and easy access Durrango as well as other towns that have so much to offer. Will 100% return.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you found the property beautiful and enjoyed the convenient location with easy access to Durango and the surrounding towns.
We truly appreciate your kind words and are so happy to hear you plan to return. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Everything about this property was amazing! The hosts were excellent in communicating prior to our arrival and were quick to respond if we had questions. The property itself is truly stunning! Very inviting, peaceful and the views surrounding the property were like living in a postcard. The house was very clean, definitely pet friendly, and stocked with everything we needed for the week. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working, but it didn't detract from our stay. This place allowed our family, including our 2 dogs, to have an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable week.
