Description Description
Very few vacation rentals in Durango sit directly on the water - and even fewer offer over 350 feet of private river frontage on nine pristine acres. This extraordinary 4,800 sq ft cabin delivers a rare Colorado experience: total privacy, historic charm, expansive outdoor living, and your own stretch of the Florida River, all just 20 minutes from Downtown Durango.

Originally built in 1933 and thoughtfully expanded over the years, the home blends classic cabin warmth with modern comfort, making it an unforgettable retreat for families and groups. Gather under towering pines, relax in the private hot tub beside the river, wander across the footbridge to your own little island, or spend the afternoon fishing the stocked seasonal pond. With four ensuite bedrooms, multiple living spaces, and endless outdoor amenities, this is the kind of property where you arrive for adventure - but end up staying for the serenity.

This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).

River Retreat
Great location, just as described in the listing. Easy and close drive to downtown Durango. We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the beautiful views from the property. Kitchen is very well stocked and has all your cooking supplies and seasoning. The home was thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm, comfortable, and inviting atmosphere throughout. It was a great place to relax and served as an excellent home base for exploring the surrounding area. Really a fantastic property and house. You will not be disappointed. We would gladly stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! So glad the views, the well-stocked kitchen, and the warm decor made it feel like home, and that it worked so well as a base for exploring Durango and the surrounding area. We'd love to host you again, and we appreciate the recommendation! -Erika

Peaceful Retreat
We arrived at the house late at night and could not see the property in the dark. We all thought it would be like Christmas, waiting to see in the morning. We are from the desert area, and it was a beautiful setting to wake up to. Surrounded by trees and a small river running in front of the property. Both sides of the house have nice grass areas. There is a hammock to relax and listen to the river going over rocks, a rope swing for kids to play on. Our grandson said he felt like he was staying in a National Park. There is lots of outside seating and space. From the hot tub on one side of the house with an outdoor porch swing, fire pit area near the river and on the other side a barbecue area with seating. this area has a pass through window from the kitchen to a counter outside. There is a room off the patio that has a fridge for drinks and extra food items. Inside the house is well thought out and has plenty of space for people to gather. There are many boxed games stored throughout the house. The property is about 20-25 minutes from Durango. There is lots to do and explore in the area. We are already planning on taking another family trip and would love to stay in this house again.

Carolyn, Thank you so much for your recent five star review. We are delighted to hear that your family felt like it was Christmas morning during your stay here! You mentioned that your family was able to make the most of the outdoor space available right along the river with a fun rope swing for kids, enjoyable hot tub, and a cozy fire pit to enjoy near the BBQ area. Thank you for sharing that your grandson exclaimed that it felt like you all were staying at a National Park, that is so special! Thank you for mentioning that the layout of the two patios with plenty of space made it enjoyable for your family to spread out and relax here. Your feedback is invaluable to us and we are honored to call you our guests! We look forward to hosting you for another memorable stay soon with a repeat guest discount! Warm regards, -Holly
