We had a wonderful time staying along the river. The house is nicely appointed with plenty of games @ puzzles for our one rainy day. Fish were caught, meals were shared and relaxation was had in abundance. We’ll definitely return for a longer stay.
We celebrated our 22nd Anniversary at this beautiful cabin! It was perfect and we enjoyed the river running through the backyard. Cabin was very clean. Great location from town. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy this place again.
This is the third year in a row I’ve stayed at this cabin. The first year was just to visit Durango then I started riding in the Iron Horse bike race. I plan on staying at this place every year moving forward. The creek behind the place is awesome and it’s only twenty minutes or so from Durango.
We really enjoyed staying at this cozy cabin by the river. It was great to come back each night, light a fire to warm up, and make dinner. Kids loved having their own "tiny house" to stay in. Everything was comfortable and as described.
We took a vacation with my grandparents. We all enjoyed the cabin overall. The best part is the river and peacefulness of the whole place! Cabin was very cozy, hot water, and stocked well!! We had a glorious week with family!
great location; great job of stocking the cabin; great communication; we aren't into big tourist trap-type places so relaxing & enjoying nature is first on our list for time away & we weren't disappointed. thanks for always responding to our dumb questions, we appreciate your patience while we got settled in!
Overall it was a nice vacation and the property was nice and clean. It wasn't obvious from the listing that the two twin beds are in a separate structure which was not ideal, but we made it work.
We had an amazing time at this cabin! We absolutely loved the location and hearing the river at night. It is close enough to the city yet far enough away. Everything was what we expected and what we wanted for our family vacation!!
We were more than happy with our stay at this cabin! We loved relaxing on the back deck overlooking the river. The drive to Durango is a scenic 20 minute drive. The owners provided very helpful and detailed information for the cabin and the area. I would definitely recommend staying here!
Having the flow of the Florida River as your background noise was incredible! We came here to relax and recharge for a few short days, and it was well worth it! We can’t wait to come back, with our kids next time! Very clean cabin, loved all the options for outdoor sitting also!
We stayed at the Cozy Cabin for the Thanksgiving holiday. We were cozy indeed! There are plenty of warm blankets and the space heaters warm the place up quick! If you use the wood stove, it will produce enough heat for the entire house, just leave the interior doors open. This place is quiet, private and off the beaten path. You are close enough to town to get groceries, go out to eat and enjoy activities. I highly recommend the train ride and visiting Mesa Verde NP. Durango is BEATUIFUL!!
The pictures don't do justice to actually being on the Florida River, either looking out the living room window or walking out the back door and being only 20 feet from the River. A great relaxing stay in this log cabin.
We had a very cozy stay at this cabin. The location is stunning - being able to sit out by the river was fantastic. The house inside was very comfortable overall, with most of the amenities you would expect and games to play as a family. It has a few quirks but nothing that impacted our overall experience there. We had the space we need and were able to prepare meals comfortably. We would come again!
This was an awesome place to stay. The River behind the cabin and how close it was to Durango made this an ideal place to stay. Can’t wait to come back in the future.
This is a great cabin with everything needed for a wonderful and relaxing stay. The sounds of the river just off the deck lulled us to sleep each night of our 4-day stay.
I believe this was our 6th or 7th stay at this beautiful little cabin. Everything about it works for our family. The location is beautiful and quiet, our girls love to have their own space out in the outer bedroom. The owners are terrific communicators and the check in process goes smoothly.
It is a place for our family to be able to relax, enjoy the outdoors and just enjoy being together. We look forward to another summer visit.
The location was great! Very peaceful right on the river and a short drive to downtown. Kaleb provided great tips to the area and responded quickly when contacted. We definitely want to stay here again!
Enjoyed staying here. Only a few minutes out of town. Listening to the stream at night was great.

About the host

Texas residents:
We started visiting the Durango area in the summer and quickly fell in love with the area...enough so that we decided we wanted to share with our family and friends.
Once we arrived in Durango, we soon realized that this area is all that we expected (and more). We also knew that we wanted to find a vacation home on the water. When we found this cabin we knew it was a perfect place to spend quality downtime with our family. One of our favorite things to do is to sit on the deck and enjoy the sound of the water flowing by.
We hope that you will enjoy your time at our cabin as much as we do.
