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..

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.

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.

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

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!

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 location

River cottage was the perfect location for our family vacation to wolf creek. It was just a few miles into town and about 20 minutes or so to wolf creek ski area. We have been to South Fork numerous times, and our stay at the River cottage did not disappoint. The area was beautiful! We saw lots of wildlife from the cabin windows and on our drive into south fork. Would love to come back in the summer!
