About this property

Custom riverfront log home w/ hot tub, decks & fireplace

Experience the beauty of South Fork from this custom-built log home overlooking the Rio Grande. With six bedrooms, expansive living spaces, beautiful river and mountain views, and plenty of room for everyone to gather, this three-story retreat offers a memorable setting for family vacations and group getaways in Southwest Colorado.

Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the great room with natural light and showcase the surrounding scenery, while soaring cathedral ceilings and warm wood finishes create an inviting lodge-inspired atmosphere. After a day of exploring, gather around the gas fireplace and relax with a movie or favorite show on the smart TV.

The chef's kitchen is designed for both everyday meals and special gatherings, featuring a beautiful backsplash, generous counters, a five-burner gas range, dishwasher, and other high-end appliances. The wood dining table seats up to 12, making it easy for everyone to sit down together for dinner.

Step outside onto one of the home's two expansive decks to enjoy the peaceful setting overlooking the Rio Grande. The main deck is an inviting spot for morning coffee or an afternoon drink, while the lower deck features two wooden swings for younger guests. After an active day, unwind in the private hot tub and take in the surrounding scenery.

The lower-level game room provides another place for everyone to spread out, with a smart TV and a 2-in-1 pool and Ping-Pong table for friendly competition. All six bedrooms feature smart TVs, while four bedrooms—two on the main floor and two on the lower level—offer private ensuite bathrooms. The primary bedrooms on both levels also provide private deck access.

The home's location makes it easy to enjoy the many adventures of Southwest Colorado. The property sits across the river from the Revolution Rail railbike route and is within easy reach of local shopping and dining. Summer brings opportunities for hiking, biking, and fishing, while winter offers skiing and snow activities at Wolf Creek. Venture farther afield to explore the Great Sand Dunes near Alamosa, visit a historic mine in Creede, or enjoy the scenery from a nearby sightseeing train.

Whether you're gathering with family or traveling with friends, this spacious South Fork log home offers plenty of room to relax, play, and enjoy the beauty of the Rio Grande and surrounding mountains in every season.

Our Stay

We loved our stay at Railway River Retreat! The house was clean and ready for us before we got there. The kitchen was nicely stocked with kitchenware needed to prepare out meals. We enjoyed our time in Southfork and would highly recommend this cabin for anyone needing a place to stay with a larger group.

Multi generational family gathering

This was perfect for our large family group. The kitchen was very well equipped and having a place for the kids to hang out downstairs was fantastic. We LOVED watching the deer go by almost every morning. This was a wonderful home to come back to after a day of skiing to be able to relax.

The house was beautiful! The view, decor, amenities far exceeded our expectations! The beds are super comfortable~kitchen well equipped. The only “complaint” was the thermostat, we could not get it regulated throughout. I would highly recommend this cabin!

Amazing Weekend!!

Loved every second of our stay. I really don’t know what else to say other than it was a perfect weekend in a perfect home. The space, ambiance and great company made for a weekend in the mountains skiing that we’ll never forget and always cherish between us all. Thank you for opening your home to us.

The river, the home and the hot tub were loved. The location was a little far from much to do. The WiFi and phone service were spotty.

Family trip

The house was so gorgeous and was very well equipped with so much, we really appreciated the extra baby equipment that helped in so many ways, as well as the fully stocked kitchen allowing us to cook for large number of family members. We were very thankful for the fenced in yard, helping to prevent kids from going to the river which was so close and moving so rapidly! This house is right in town and in a growing neighborhood so easy access to gas and groceries and fishing licenses.
