Private Riverfront Escape on the Florida River | Hot Tub | 20 Min to DGO

Very few vacation rentals in Durango sit directly on the water - and even fewer offer over 350 feet of private river frontage on nine pristine acres. This extraordinary 4,800 sq ft cabin delivers a rare Colorado experience: total privacy, historic charm, expansive outdoor living, and your own stretch of the Florida River, all just 20 minutes from Downtown Durango.

Originally built in 1933 and thoughtfully expanded over the years, the home blends classic cabin warmth with modern comfort, making it an unforgettable retreat for families and groups. Gather under towering pines, relax in the private hot tub beside the river, wander across the footbridge to your own little island, or spend the afternoon fishing the stocked seasonal pond. With four ensuite bedrooms, multiple living spaces, and endless outdoor amenities, this is the kind of property where you arrive for adventure - but end up staying for the serenity.

This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).
