This was a perfect oasis in the mountains and landing spot for our family as we explored the Glenwood Canyon. Perfect spot to just sit back and relax by the river with easy access to a variety of area amenities and entertainment. You will not be disappointed in this well-maintained VRBO!

Amazing home!

Our family had such a great time at this property. It’s very nice inside but the best is the location right on the river. It’s close to downtown Glenwood but feels like you’re away from everything all at the same time. Also has a great deck that’s nice to eat meals on. We hope to come back and stay again!

Magical Riverfront Stay

The house was absolutely wonderful and impeccably clean. Being right in front of the river added such a magical touch to our stay. The location is incredibly convenient, perfectly situated between Vail and Aspen, with great spots like Rifle Falls for hiking and nearby hot springs to enjoy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

This is such a special property. Our kids (8 and 10) have good water safety basics and could take full advantage of splashing in the river. It was fun watching the rafters go by. So much outdoor living space. Thr dog loved it too! Doug is an excellent host.

Weeklong stay

The house is perfect! Location for what we needed and wanted was perfect. We had 3 teens with us and were visiting our older daughter who was working in Carbondale. Our boys fished and swam. I took long walks in the am on the bike path. We did may hikes, fly fishing, white water rafting and many nights cooking in and enjoying the outdoor space. It was perfect for what we needed.
