In-Town Hidden Gem | Riverfront Modern-Rustic Escape | Deck & Balcony

Perched on the banks of the South Fork of the Rio Grande River, this beautifully modern yet historically rich retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort and charm. Just minutes from town, the two-story home welcomes you with warm wood accents, picturesque river views through large windows, and comfortable furnishings throughout.

Enjoy meals, games, and gatherings around the large dining table, or step outside to the expansive riverfront deck for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. Upstairs, a private balcony provides a quiet spot to unwind while taking in the river views. The circular driveway makes arriving and parking easy, and every corner of this home is designed for relaxation, connection, and the ultimate Colorado escape.

This cabin was worth every penny! Absolutely beautiful! The cabin itself was roomy, fully stocked, and one of the cleanest cabins we’ve stayed in. The location of the cabin was perfect! Close to town with a deck butted right up to the river. Check in and out was a breeze. I definitely recommend this place!

Great cabin on the river

Stayed for the weekend, just 4 of us so we had tons of space. Close enough for a visit to the sand dunes! The deck right on the river is really the highlight of the cabin, we had a great stay!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the extra space and convenient proximity to the Sand Dunes. Hopefully, you had a chance to catch the disappearing river — such a unique experience! The deck overlooking the river is one of our favorite features, too — there’s nothing like relaxing by the water and soaking in the views. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Kitchen was well-stocked. Everything was available that we needed. Beautiful setup. Left-back burner on the stove was not operational. There were cobwebs above the counter between kitchen and dining room. We did find glassware in cabinets greasy and measuring cup dirty in cabinet. We appreciated having these items available and was an easy cleanup but wanted to let you know.
River out back off spacious deck. April 2026
Lower level of cabinet looking toward loft/gaming area. April 2026.
Spacious deck off dining/living area of  cabin. Was a bit chilly but the scenery was fantastic. Looking forward to our next day maybe during the summer/fall.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—we’re so glad to hear the kitchen was well-stocked and that you enjoyed the overall setup. We truly appreciate you bringing the stove burner, cobwebs, and dishware to our attention. That’s not the standard we aim for, and we’ve shared this with our team so it can be addressed right away and prevented moving forward. Thank you again for your understanding, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Love this cabin by the river!

We have been visiting South fork for years to ski at Wolf Creek and we all agreed this was our favorite house we have stayed at. There were so many thoughtful touches and overall the cabin had a wonderfully cozy and comfortable vibe. We love to cook and the kitchen was great. Watching the river from the dining room table was lovely. Highly recommended!

The location for a guys hunting trip was perfect! Being so close to the river for occasional fishing was really fun!!
