Cozy Cabin on Florida River- 15 mins from Downtown

A cozy cabin on the river with mountain views, ideally located between Downtown Durango and both the Vallecito and Lemon Reservoirs. Come here to get away from it all, while enjoying the relaxing sounds of the river and serene views of the mountains and pines. Our river cabin blends a spirit of rustic log construction with recent updates. A stocked kitchen and well-furnished living space will make your days in the mountains comfortable, yet accessible to all that Durango has to offer! You’ll find our cabin simple, yet charming. A wood stove is located in the living room that can take the chill off a cool night. Sleeping accommodations include a king size bed in the main bedroom, as well as two twin beds in the guest cabin. A queen size sleeper sofa in the living room provides additional flexibility. A washer and dryer provide the opportunity to do a quick load of laundry if needed. Traveling to the mountains is a great way to disconnect, but if you’d like to stay connected, the cabin is equipped with high speed internet, a cellular signal booster and 4K Smart TV’s. Enjoy a movie night with Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and more. If a family game night is something you’ll enjoy, grab a blanket, get comfy, and select from the board games for family entertainment. We promise you’ll want to come back again and again to enjoy the tranquility of living on the river in the mountains while be close to ALL that the Durango area has to offer. Our property is available year round for enjoyment of all seasons. Thank you for considering our cozy cabin. Our guests can enjoy private access to the Florida River. Guests will have access to the entire property which includes both a main cabin and guest cabin. We love sharing our river cabin with family and friends. If there’s anything we can do to make your visit more enjoyable, please message us, and we will be readily available to help. Our neighborhood is a river community that is quiet yet charming. A private setting that gives a peaceful getaway for our guests to enjoy. Our cabin sits on a 1/2 acre lot so there is room for up to 4 vehicles with RV hookups available. After hosting 100+ guests over the years on VRBO with a 4.9 Rating. Our cabin is part of a peaceful river community. Our neighbors enjoy nature and the outdoors just as much as we do. Please be respectful and considerate of their privacy by keeping noise to a minimum. We love our cabin and hope that you enjoy the simplicity and sounds of the river as much as we do.

Perfect Getaway

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.

Peaceful Getaway

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.

River Rush

All I hoped it would be. Had been looking forward to our visit the entire winter and did not disappoint. Spent each morning with my coffee out looking at the sunshine on the rushing water. Being greeted by an ouzel, crane or duck flying the river. A momma duck with 8 babies swimming upstream near the shore was a treat! They all fought the rapids and made it to the destination. Bed was comfortable and just the right amount of bedding to keep window cracked to hear the water. Instant hot water for shower :- Was a great getaway to relax.

Great cozy cabin

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.

Amazing Stay

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!

Nice family getaway

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.

Short stay, worth it!

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!

Relaxing Location!

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.
