Casa del Rio
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Perfectly rustic and perched on the bank of the Rio Grande, this idyllic getaway will be the grand place to bring the whole family. You'll find gold medal fishing right outside the back door. Step inside, and you will immediately be greeted by the warm wood accents, the inviting wood-burning fireplace, and comfortable furnishings that await in the living area. The two-story layout will give every guest a sense of privacy when needed, yet everyone can easily gather for meals or game nights at the accommodating dining table. The culinary-inclined guests will also be in paradise knowing that they can easily whip up tasty meals with ease in the fully equipped kitchen. Not to mention, the back deck will be just the place to sip a morning coffee as the snow falls or enjoy a glass of wine when the sun begins to dip behind the trees.
What's nearby:
Though this getaway offers a perfect mix of privacy and seclusion, you will have the conveniences of town within a four-mile drive from your front door. When everyone builds up an appetite from hiking or river activities, local hubs such as Two Rivers BBQ Restaurant, Tavern & Coffeehouse (a local favorite), Ramones Mexican, and Mountain Pizza & Taproom will all hit the spot in nearby South Fork. If a ski day is on the agenda, don't hesitate to take the scenic 25-mile drive south to Wolf Creek Ski Area, as it is more than ready to assist in making the best memories for all experience levels!
Things to know:
Two bedrooms located upstairs
