About this property
"Best of Durango" Secluded, 600 feet of riverfront, park-like setting
Sitting at an elevation of nearly 7400’ and nestled between over 600’ of Florida River frontage and the foot of a mountain, this property is Colorado at its finest. This amazing, 3.65-acre property enjoys supreme privacy in the heart of the valley surrounded by two large acreage ranches and is just 8 miles to Main Street in Durango.
You will arrive at the property on all paved roads and pass over a private bridge to get to the home. The home is set up as two separate, self-contained living areas totaling 3971 sf. (separated by a garage, no common walls). Each side has its own kitchen, living room, bedrooms, baths, fireplace and laundry. You can book one side, or, for larger groups or ultimate privacy you can reserve both sides. For the purposes of this web listing, we are required to list each one separately. This listing is for the "Trout House"...a single story side (3 bedroom).
This 3 bedroom listing features single level living with a large master suite (with a jetted tub), 2 additional guest rooms and a 2nd full bath. The Trout House has a wood burning fireplace and offers a full size washer and dryer. There is approximately 2,000 sf so everyone can spread out. Relax on one of two porches that overlook the river at the end of the day or with your morning coffee.
NOTE: The other side (2 bedroom option) features an open kitchen, dining and family room layout with 2 guest bedrooms on the second floor. This side can easily accommodate 7 guests (master has a king bed, bedroom 2 has three single beds and there is a pullout sofa). There is a bath on each of the floors and laundry on the first floor. There is a river rock fireplace and the kitchen is fully equipped. There is approximately 2,000 sf so plenty of room to spread out. You can access this listing under the heading "Riverfront (600 feet), 3.65 Acres, Park Like Setting - 2 Bedroom (Bear House)". VRBO #1652506
Crib and high chair are available upon request for either listing.
Whichever option you choose (or both for ultimate privacy) this is a perfect location to enjoy afternoons relaxing on the multiple decks, casting dries on the roaring river, enjoying the wildlife or playing on the lush lawns under the soaring trees. The park-like property comes complete with a picnic table, benches, lawn games and grills.
Thank you.

Absolutely amazing property and location! Great host with excellent communication. Everything you need to have a wonderful vacation. Will stay here again.
What a great place to stay! Very spacious, we had our 3 teen boys and 2 little ones. Sleeping arrangements were plentiful. House was clean and felt like home. Although, it was cold we enjoyed the outdoors. I just know its beautiful in the summer and spring time. Great home internet for streaming! Located 15 minutes from town, which was awesome. Very secluded and private! Host was very quick to reapond and made our stay wonderful. We would definitely recommend this place!
Fantastic hosts (Nick and Caryn), beautiful facilities, incredibly comfortable, magnificent environment… couldn’t ask for a better place to enjoy a vacation! Already looking forward to our next stay at the River House!
The property was even better than advertised. Excellent stay and very good hosts with GREAT communication. Loved being on the Florida River with easy access to Durango. Family of 6 adults stayed very comfortably.
What an incredible place! Nick was helpful and understanding when I missed some instructions. The location is fabulous and the house is beautiful and so comfortable. We did have neighbors in the place next door but it was still peaceful and enjoyable. The river running through the property was lovely. We spent most of our time sitting by it as some family members fished. Our family would love to go here again.
Our family had a great time. The house had everything we needed, the property was immaculate, and access to the river was exactly what we wanted. We will definitely stay again.
Great place to relax and do day trips from easily.
We loved the setting. River in front and mountains behind. The house is equipped very nicely. Our hosts were beyond great and so considerate of us and helpful.
Great location - I did not review the notes well enough to understand the house was Split between two homes. Our Neighbor Andy was very nice and I believe we got lucky with how peaceful the setting was this week. I was looking for Privacy and a quite setting on the river and that could have flipped with a different family next door. The Steam shower?? AMAZING! Very comfortable well-appointed home.
Prompt response in communication with hosts. Beautiful property in a great location for access to the many wonders of southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico.
Beautiful site and home. House very comfortable and all quiet.
Enjoyed the availability of all necessities. Thank you for a wonderful and peaceful time.
Thank you so much for working with our changing schedule. The house location is perfect. Remote, but close to the town and ski resort. We had a great time and your home was perfect for our family.
The area the home just overall everything was amazing and beautiful such a cozy home with beautiful views we had a wonderful time making memories with out kids here thank you for letting us stay at your gorgeous home
Beautiful property. Waterfront on the Florida River.
Four life long buddies on an annual fishing trip.
This place was perfect for us. Lots of room quiet, BEAUTIFUL.
The VRBO description of “park like setting” is absolutely accurate. It is so nice. Book it now for you next Durango visit. !!
The property exceeded expectations! Our family of nine fit perfectly in the two houses and the property was a wonderfully relaxing place to unwind during downtime between seeing the local sites (we did Mesa Verde and Silverton). Communication with the owners was exceptional and they clearly care about their renters’ stay as the houses are stocked for cooking at “home” and staying in. We made memories here that will last a lifetime! I HIGHLY recommend.
We had a wonderful stay in Durango! Being from South Texas our family wanted to spend Christmas in the snow! The house is tucked away in a secluded valley. The house had snow all around when we arrived. Snow didn’t come down until Christmas but, boy did it come down! God gets the credit for the snow.
Beautiful, cozy property right on the river. We weren’t expecting 15 inches of snow during our trip, but what a winter wonderland! Being “snowed in” on this property was so peaceful and welcome. The hosts are extremely accommodating and friendly. We can’t wait to bring our family back to fish in the summer. Thank you for a wonderful trip!
The property is amazing! My grandchildren played outside until dark. Everyone did some fishing. But mostly, we enjoyed being together in this beautiful house and wonderful property. Joyful experience!!
Beautiful well furnished home on the Florida River 10 minutes east of Durango.
Being from Texas, we came for the snow and weren’t disappointed.
Home is very secluded and private and on the river. Exactly what we were looking for. Communication with homeowners excellent.
