Riverside Retreat

Come relax on the porch! This home is practically designed for coming together, starting with a wrap-around porch perfect for coffee and conversations. Enjoy views of the mountains as well as close views of the river - come at the right time of year and enjoy the view of the flowers blooming! The riverfront location is a wonderful feature of this home - enjoy some s'mores around the riverside firepit or launch your raft and/or inner tubes! That's right. You can start your rafting trip directly from the home, or start upstream and come ashore directly at the cabin.

Inside, the unique pale wood paneling sets a pleasant mood throughout the cabin. An open kitchen design means that the conversations don't have to stop while dinner is being prepared. Enjoy it at the breakfast bar or in the dining area - the comfortable family room isn't too far away. Use the private washer/dryer to take care of clothes from the day while everyone rests. The loft-style bedroom holds two twin beds, perfect for younger guests who may stay up all night talking. But there's plenty of space for everyone in your group to come relax by the river.

What's nearby:
Just under nine miles from South Fork and just shy of 15 miles from Creede, this home will put guests close to all their favorite activities while still being part of a neighborhood.

For guests new to the area, Mountain Skillz (just over seven miles from the cabin) offers guided tours of the area as well as lessons on snowmobiling and how best to act during an avalanche. Of course, guests can enjoy Gold Medal Trout fishing all along the Rio Grande river.

Beautiful river views. Easy check-in. Our family owns a cabin down the road, so the location was perfect for our family reunion. Comfortable beds and the home is well equipped. This is my happy place, watching the river go by.

Little slice of Heaven
This was our third visit to South Fork, and each time we stayed at the Riverside Retreat. The kitchen is fully stocked with every cooking utensil, dish, cup, or kitchen gadget needed to prepare every meal of the day. My kids just love sleeping in the loft upstairs. The nighttime view of the moon is spectacular. The master bedroom is big, and the blankets are warm. When at the cabin, it feels as though we are being hugged by trees. Every window is a beautiful view of the stunning environment. It is genuinely a little slice of Heaven on Earth. We will return for our fourth visit soon!

Amazing home in a perfect setting
This was our third stay at the Riverside Retreat and it just keeps getting better. The house was exceptionally clean and the flooring in both bathrooms and the laundry room has been updated as well as the master shower and bathroom. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful scenic setting this is the perfect place for you. Wether you are sitting on the large porch watching the Rio Grande flow just feet from the porch or enjoying a fire and s’mores by the river you will feel your everyday worries just floating away! The house is just minutes from South Fork on one side and Creed on the other. There are tons of hiking, biking and off road trails easily accessible all around. We absolutely love the Riverside Retreat and will be back as often as possible.

Great vacation place
The location was great. Quiet neighborhood, right on the river. Slept with the windows open and could hear the river, very relaxing. Two bathrooms were awesome with two teenage boys. The loft was a great place for the boys to hangout. Would recommend this property.

This a beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed the view. The only downside is that the rental stated we were not able to use the stove, so we had to cook outside.

Unclean property & particular owners
The dishes in the kitchen were caked with prior food stuck to them (and a single wash wouldn’t remove it all). The old dishwasher was still full of dishes when we arrived and multiple surfaces in the cabin were dirty and in need of a clean. Also, the owner has some very particular “suggestions” on when you use the dishwasher and washer/dryer which means they want you to use them them during off peak hours only, which is 10-2 daily. They also have very strict guidance on how to heat the cabin (though we didn’t have to mess with that given the weather when we visited). They also ask you to water the lawn, which is also in need of a major mowing. The location was amazing but given all of these negatives, we won’t be booking here again.

Great location, but needs work!
First, the good points: -The location along the river is fantastic, and the view toward the rocks is stunning. -The house design is very nice, and this location has the potential to be a wonderful place to stay. The bad points (the property needs some work and TLC): -I wiped some water up from the kitchen floor and my paper towel came up very dirty, so I wonder when the floor was last cleaned. -The carpet could use replacing. -The shower doors in the master bath allowed copious water to leak onto the floor, no matter how we positioned the sliding doors. -The door screens are bent and left gaps for flies to get in. -The cookware needs to be replaced. -The porch furniture is not very comfortable. -Our stay started on a Sunday, and we were away from the house Monday (the day prior to garbage day). When we returned Monday evening, someone had moved our can out to the road, and they had filled it to overflowing with other peoples’ garbage. We were barely able to put our single bag of garbage in for the next day’s pickup. -After that pickup, as instructed, we put our garbage (in bags) in the can. The instructions about storing garbage recommend a lockable container or storing the garbage can indoors. Neither recommendation was an option for us since the garbage can was not lockable and the garage that the can set outside of was locked (we had no key). Our last night there (Saturday), something (we assume a bear) knocked over the can and spread garbage everywhere. Luckily, it only happened on our last night and we didn’t have to clean up every day. We suggest guests be allowed to put the can in the garage until the morning of garbage pickup.

Peaceful Cabin with Great Views
We love the sound of the river, views of the mountains, wonderful cabin and wildlife everywhere. Located between Southfork and Creede, the cabin is in a great location to cover the area between Pagosa Springs and Lake City. The "big" city of Alamosa is only a 45 minute drive away. "Scenic" is a constant description of your experience as you traverse to and from the cabin. Fishing, rafting, hiking, shopping, biking, 4 x 4, and etc. right outside. We brought heavy duty inflatable rafts with us, dropped in upstream and floated back right to the rear of the cabin. You can also rent rafts and canoes or go rafting with a guide. You won't be disappointed staying here!

Location great...property okay
Location on the river was amazing. Good for the hikes we wanted to do and then sitting on the deck reading and listening to the river. Had to wash cooking items taken out of cupboard before using (previous visitors mentioned having to clean too), no soap in showers (did not have cell reception at house so emailed Vacasa representative and no response), no Kleenex, information for the house and area located in binder were either missing or outdated. For the price (fees on VRBO are ridiculous) I expected more.

Gorgeous! Loved it!
What a beautiful cabin! We had plenty of room to spread out. Loved the deck and being on the river. The kids went tubing and we had a fire and s'mores. The stars were amazing. The location is also terrific. Drove over to see Great Sand Dunes National Park, and hiked the high dunes. We loved our stay and would definitely go back!!

Comfortable Riverside Retrear
My husband our teenaged daughter and her friend stayed here on our summer vacation. The loft was perfect for them. I can’t say enough about the river access. So relaxing to sit on the porch with our coffee and listen to the water and watch the birds. The girls and my husband fished and tubed literally right at our back door! The house is very comfortable, clean, and well kept with everything we needed for our stay. We would stay here again and recommend to our family and friends. Quiet safe neighborhood. Gina T from Texas
