About this property

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

Experience the beauty of South Fork at this custom-built log home overlooking the Rio Grande. With six bedrooms, expansive gathering spaces, stunning river and mountain views, and room for everyone to spread out, 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 frame the surrounding scenery, while soaring cathedral ceilings and warm wood finishes create an inviting lodge-inspired atmosphere. After a day of adventure, gather around the gas fireplace, settle into the comfortable furnishings, and enjoy a movie or favorite show on the smart TV.

The well-appointed kitchen is designed for cooking and gathering, featuring beautiful countertops, a stylish backsplash, a five-burner gas range, a dishwasher, and other high-end appliances. When it's time to eat, the impressive wood dining table seats up to 12, giving everyone a place to come together for meals and conversation.

Two expansive decks provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy the home's beautiful setting overlooking the Rio Grande. Start the day with coffee on the main deck, enjoy an afternoon outdoors with family and friends, or let younger guests have fun on the two wooden swings on the lower deck. After a day spent exploring the mountains or river, unwind in the private hot tub and take in the peaceful surroundings.

For even more entertainment, head to the lower-level game room, where a smart TV and a combination pool and Ping-Pong table set the stage for friendly competition. All six bedrooms feature smart TVs, and four bedrooms offer private ensuite bathrooms, with two on the main floor and two on the lower level. The primary bedrooms on both levels also feature private deck access, adding another way to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Adventure is never far away. The home sits across the river from the Revolution Rail railbike route and offers convenient access to local shopping and dining. Warmer months bring opportunities for hiking, biking, and fishing, while winter invites days on the slopes at Wolf Creek. For a change of pace, explore the Great Sand Dunes near Alamosa, discover the historic mining town of Creede, or enjoy a scenic sightseeing train ride.

Whether you're planning a multi-family vacation, a reunion with friends, or a mountain getaway with plenty of room to gather, this spacious South Fork log home offers a wonderful place to relax, reconnect, and experience 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!

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.

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.
