About this property
Spectacular Riverfront guest house with unparalleled river & mountain views!
This guest house/guest cottage is located on a 5 acre lush property RIGHT along the banks of the Salmon river. Fish right there if you desire! The views across the river to the magnificent Beaverhead mountain range (the Continental divide) are absolutely stunning! Photos don't do it justice.
Wallace creek also flows through the north end of the property into the Salmon river at most times of the year and there is a picnic table out there by the creek to dine at. Abundant wildlife frequent the property including deer, turkey, eagles, osprey, geese, various types of ducks, hawks, owls, blue heron, and many other species of birds. It truly is a virtual paradise!
River and mountain views from ALL windows too.
(1) spacious bedroom with queen size bed (with river view), (1) full bathroom, a cozy living room with super comfy furniture and sleeper sofa for 1 additional adult. Also has a fully appointed kitchen with river views from the window. Step right onto the patio from the living room - the river is literally steps away. Again there are gorgeous views of the Beaverhead mountain range (which is the Continental Divide) complete with stunning sunrises and sunsets.
NOTE: this 850 Sq ft guest cottage is located behind the garage (on the river side) and next to the main house where your hosts (Jan and Tim) live most of the summer. We are very mindful and respectful of your privacy, however!
This amazing property is located less than 15 minutes from shopping and dining in downtown Salmon. Many trails in the area for hiking & biking too. We welcome your visit as we love to share “the magic.” We know you will absolutely love “The River’s Edge!”

About the host
Hosted by Jan Rosenthal

We, (Tim Barca and Jan Rosenthal) used to live in Eagle, Colorado, but made this special haven our summer home in 2023. We live in Tesuque, outside of Santa Fe, NM in the winter months & short term rent our beautiful 2 bedroom/2 bath casita there from June 1st- mid November. We absolutely love Salmon and the surrounding area and feel so very fortunate to have found this most special riverside retreat. It’s beyond fabulous and nothing compares! Can't wait to share it with you! Looking forward to having you as our guests.
Why they chose this property
Best cottage in Salmon that is located RIGHT on the river...there is no comparison to any hotels or other cottages! Total privacy and seclusion....on 5 lush acres with spectacular mountain & river views and abundant wildlife. The neighborhood is fabulous-it’s the best in Salmon in our eyes!
What makes this property unique
It is right on the Salmon river plus has a gorgeous running creek on the north end of the property. It also has 5 lush acres, many mature trees, wildlife galore... and it’s very private, yet only 10-15 minutes to town~you virtually see no neighbors. It’s so very special!
