About this property

Riverside Meadows Master Cabin on the Rio Grande

This listing is for the "Master Cabin" it is the cabin to the right 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, hammock, 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 Master Cabin is a 350 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 Guest cabin (on the left) VRBO listing #953542 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 Master 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 sail shades, gas grill and sits by the main fire pit area which has grill grates and a fire pit wok.

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.

I can't think of a more perfect place for two nature lovers to spend a long weekend! It was incredibly relaxing to fall asleep to the sounds of the Rio Grande. Fritz and Paula were fabulous hosts, and Cobi the Dog was a great coffee companion. We can't wait to come back to lounge and explore. Thank you again for having us!

We loved hearing the river from our cabin. You are right on the water and can sit on the bed and see the river rush by. The owners were very nice and the room was clean. We can't wait to have the opportunity to stay again!

Absolutely beautiful

This cabin was so beautiful and cozy. The location by the river was so peaceful and the fall colors were magnificent. We would love to stay here again when we have more time to take advantage of all of the amenities that the cabin and area have to offer. The hosts created an amazing getaway.

Beautiful property

The property is located on the river with fishing and games and campfires right out your back door. It was very clean and Paula and Fritz are right there for your every need. You can even take a kayak or raft down the river and they will pick you up. The only thing we were missing was a microwave but we became creative which I guess is what you should do when staying in a cabin. We would definitely stay again!

Cozy cabin on the river

We had a wonderful time at this cozy cabin. Everything was clean and comfortable. The setting was just beautiful and I enjoyed walking by the river and through the cottonwoods behind the house (where I saw a sweet great horned owl on a fence post - a real treat!). We were only sorry that our stay was short.

Above and beyond our expectations

The Rio Grande River provided a delightful background sound in this well-built and furnished cabin. Paula and Fritz were very accommodating and gracious hosts offering helpful suggestions of places to hike and fish. We enjoyed the gorgeous mountain views as we roasted hotdogs at the firepit. It was hard to leave this delightful mountain retreat after a full week. Riverside Meadows will definitely be our number one place to stay in South Fork, Colorado.

Very cozy space on the river!

We stayed in the main cabin studio. Very clean and cute-perfect for a weekend stay with your significant other. We very much enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and peaceful feel of the location right on the river. Couple things to note- There is no door to the bathroom, and the sliding glass door entrance faces the owner's sliding glass door entrance. This didn't bother us much, but to those that greatly value privacy this space might not be for you. Paula and Fritz are amazing hosts. Very easy going and available if needed. Coby (their dog on the property) is adorable and very well behaved. Hoping to come back when it's warmer so we can utilize the kayaks!

Very nice stay along the Rio Grande River.

Our little cabin was beautiful and very clean. Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the river is so soothing. Fritz and Paula were very nice and allowed us to occupy the room a little early. It was a really special place, which we would return to in a heartbeat!
