This listing is for the "Guest Cabin" it is the cabin to the left of the largest building seen in the main picture of this listing. It literally sits just feet from the banks of the Rio Grande River. Along with all of our cabins it has access to the river and all outside living and recreational areas including picnic areas, outdoor fire pits, hot tub, tree swing and river swimming hole. Please be sure to scroll through all the pictures so you are familiar with the layout of our place.

The Guest Cabin is a 320 square foot Norwegian style hand hewn dovetail log cabin which we built ourselves. All the cabins sit on 8 1/2 secluded acres along the banks of the Rio Grande River, a "Gold Medal River" fishery as designated by the state of Colorado. There are 4 other cabins located on this property; we live in one (the 2-story cabin in the middle) the other 2 cabins are also available on VRBO individually or as a group, the Master cabin (on the right) VRBO listing #955968 and the Studio VRBO listing # 953410 (it sits behind the cabins in the main picture). All 3 cabins are available to be rented as a group, look for VRBO listing #422090.

This Guest Cabin includes a queen size bed, leather chairs, full bathroom, gas fireplace, flat screen TV, Wi-Fi, small fridge, coffee and coffee pot. This cabin does not include a kitchen but has an outdoor picnic table with umbrella, gas grill and small outdoor chimenea.

We have inflatable kayaks, a raft and innertubes available for our guests to use free of charge (with waiver and damage deposit) to float in the river on a nice sunny day, 2-night minimum stay required. We will also shuttle guests for float trips when available and prearranged. In winter we also have snowshoes available for our guests to use and get out and explore the area.

Kayaks, rafts, tubes and snowshoes are all seasonal activities.

Very Impressive. Definitely recommend this.
The cabin was very clean. The room décor is awesome. The cabin rooms are arranged very well. The view from the room is great. The property is well kept. The hot tub is awesome. It was a little difficult to locate but with our Garmin we were able to find it.

Cute place in front of the Arkansas River
Pros: Kind people. We forgot to pack dinner plates and utensils and they immediately provided. Cobi, their dog, is so sweet. Quick response from owner. Beautiful view. Clean. Great to wake up to the sound of the river. Con: The hot tub was at 94 degrees and didn't get much hotter. It's not very private. The owner lives next door. Felt like staying at the in-laws. Squeaky bed.

Our cabin by the river was indeed feet from the river, and the view was beautiful. The cabin was fine for an overnight stay, and would have been for a longer visit. The weather was chilly overnight and we did not attempt to use the outdoor patio, BBQ or river travel. The host got us settled in comfortably and we left the next day before seeing anyone about. The one thing to be aware of is this was booked from Expedia, through "VRBO" and some of the notices we got on the property were a bit confusing in terms of names. We thought we were closer to Del Norte, CO, but this cabin is definitely in South Fork, with has fewer dining options, if thats important. Looks like a fun place to stay in the summer when the river could be enjoyed more.
