River Cottage

Located 7 miles west of South Fork on Highway 149 you will find a mountain cabin nestled in the trees overlooking the Rio Grande River. Our mountain cabin provides stunning views and exceptional natural beauty that only Colorado can provide. Enjoy your coffee on the deck as you listen to the river flow just footsteps away. Fishermen will love this location!
Two downstairs bedrooms sleep 4 guests with queen beds. Upstairs primary suite has queen bed and half bath. Sleep extra guests on sofa bed, or put sleeping bags in upstairs loft. Kitchen is fully equipped. Dining room looks out onto the deck in back that overlooks the river.
Follow the Rio Grande River along the Silver Thread Scenic Highway 17 miles to Creede and explore the town and silver mines. Or drive 30 minutes on highway 160 to Wolf Creek Ski Area which records the greatest average annual snowfall in Colorado.
Don't feel like driving? Relax on the deck with a drink and watch the fishermen in your group cast their lines. Stay out all day and watch the sun set behind the mountains..

The host was very welcoming and responsive. The place is great for a small family or a few couples. It's a very cozy place that has been well taken care of and has a lot to offer. The back yard view is spectacular and the access to the river is even better. The kitchen is fully stocked if you plan to cook, and the bathroom is updated which is great. The bedrooms are furnished with TV's and ROKU which is a plus and the WIFI works perfectly. The mattresses feel a little springy and heater takes a minute to warm up the place but there's a fireplace if you care to use it along with the heater.This is the perfect place to stay if you're visiting South Fork Area.Overall Rating - Definitely worth staying. I would absolutely book again.Pros:Responsive HostFully Stocked KitchenLocation Space and layout of houseUpdated fixtures Cons:Bedroom mattresses felt a bit springyHeater takes a min. to warm the place up

Great cabin experience. Super clean and not very close to the other cabins/houses. Right on the river, we fished a few times right next to the cabin.

Beautiful location, very peacefull! Setting on the deck and listening to the river is very relaxing. My husband especially enjoyed being able to fish in the river. Cabin is nice, very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. It was really nice having a washer & dryer. Only disappointments were that the two downstairs beds were not at all comfortable & the person that cleans the cabin doesn't do a very good job. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay

Amazing Stay!

It was an amazing trip. The house was very well furnished. It had everything we needed. It was very clean and we had no issues. Just steps from the river and we enjoyed fishing and just relaxing in the hammock listening to the river.

It was a perfect getaway for myself, my husband & daughter. The weather was amazing. The nature was unbelievable. We were able to see a bear. Lots of deer a couple of foxes bald eagle so many beautiful birds. It was amazing. We certainly will be going back. We’ve already decided. We are moving to the area and we have a plan to do so within the next three years we look forward to coming to visit during the winter time next.

A little piece of heaven.

This was our 4th visit to the River Cottage. Every year we have come here to get away from the fast pace of the city. The river fishing, hummingbirds feeding and starry nights always do the trick!

Cool place

Overall a good place to stay, quite and good location. Clean and great outdoor space. Unfortunately the river was high during my stay so i can't attest to the fishing, though it is close by to numerous lakes which were great. Id definitely considered staying here again.

Ski trip

We arrived at River Cottage after a multi hour flight delay and a snowy drive from Denver to find a warm and cozy spot, greeted by a beautiful bottle of wine and handwritten note from the hosts. We found everything we needed to enjoy a ski week at Wolf Creek and celebrate a family member’s landmark birthday. Thank you!

Great location but dirty house

The location of this house is phenomenal. Fishing in the river just steps from the back porch was exactly what we were looking for. As for the cleanliness of the property, it was not clean. Dirty toilets and floor, but the most disgusting part was the dirty sheets I got into after after a long day of driving. I reached out to the owner of the property who mentioned they would talk with the lady that cleans the place, but I should have been offered a refund of the cleaning fee as I was not provided a clean house upon arrival. That being said, I would not return to the property again, but did overall enjoy the location and visit with friends.

Family Vacation 2023

We brought side by sides to ride all week. Great location to stay for easy access to Southfork, Creede, Lake City or Pagossa Springs. Hard to Fly Fish on river behind house due to all the trees and bushes at rivers edge. Very peaceful on back porch listening to river. House is older and very dark feeling. Rooms downstairs on smaller side. Bedroom upstairs very roomy. Kitchen very well stocked! Owners left us a sweet note and bottle of wine.☺️ no open fires outside due to neighborhood rules. (Was sad about that.) We love Colorado and this is a great location if you will be taking advantage of all the towns!!

Rest and high water!

We spent a very restful week at the River Cottage for the 3rd year in a row. It never fails us. Between the cottage, the scenery and the river, one never has to leave if desired. The river was very high and running fast, but did not fail to give us a few good trout. We look forward to our next visit!
