About this property

Riverfront (600 feet), 3.65 Acres, Park Like Setting - 2 Bedroom

  • Sitting at an elevation of nearly 7400’ and nestled between over 600’ of Florida River frontage and the foot of a mountain, this property is Colorado at its finest. This amazing, 3.65-acre property enjoys supreme privacy in the heart of the valley surrounded by two large acreage ranches and is just 8 miles to Main Street in Durango.

    You will arrive at the property on all paved roads and pass over a private bridge to get to the home. The home is set up as two separate, self-contained living areas totaling 3971 sf. (separated by a common walls). Each side has its own kitchen, living room, bedrooms, baths, fireplace and laundry. You can book one side, or, for larger groups or ultimate privacy you can reserve both sides.

    For the purposes of this web listing, we are required to list each one separately. This listing is for the "Bear House"...a 2-story side (2 bedroom). The listing for the 3 bedroom side (the "Trout House") is VRBO listing #1652431.

    The 2 bedroom option features an open kitchen, dining and family room layout with 2 guest bedrooms on the second floor. This side can easily accommodate 7 guests (master has a king bed, bedroom 2 has three single beds and there is a pullout sofa). There is a bath on each of the floors and laundry on the first floor. There is a river rock fireplace and the kitchen is fully equipped. There is approximately 2,000 sf so plenty of room to spread out.

    NOTE: The other side features single level living with a large master suite (with jetted tub), 2 additional guest rooms and a 2nd full bath. Relax on one of two porches that overlook the river.

    Crib and high chair are available upon request for either listing.

    Whichever option you choose (or both for ultimate privacy) this is a perfect location to enjoy afternoons relaxing on the multiple decks, casting dries on the roaring river, enjoying the wildlife or playing on the lush lawns under the soaring trees. The park-like property comes complete with a picnic table, benches, lawn games and grills.


    Thank you.

Absolutely wonderful stay. The location is unbeatable, just far enough outside of Durango to feel very secluded but still only a 10-15 minute drive to town. The kitchen was fully stocked and allowed us to cook our entire Thanksgiving family meal with ease! Check-in was seamless and we were communicated everything we needed to know ahead of time. Very quiet and peaceful. The river going right under the driveway was awesome. Can't wait to go back!

Nice stay on the river.

We stayed in the 'Bear House' which had plenty of space and a nice kitchen, dining, and living area. Wonderful yards and near the river. We were in town for a wedding and this was still close enough to get to Durango and see family.

Beautiful Property

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It had plenty of space inside and the property is gorgeous. We played games outside by the river and just enjoyed the breathtaking views all around us. It was an easy 15-minute drive into Durango for grocery shopping and restaurants.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Cabin. The home was clean, charming and perfect for our family of 5! Nick was responsive, helpful and accommodating. We loved being 15 minutes from downtown while being tucked away in a little forest along the Florida River! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us! We are already planning our next stay!

Heaven on Earth

We had a wonderful stay at The Bear House and can’t wait to return. This home is like Heaven on Earth and is absolutely beautiful grounds. We loved putting the windows up and listening to the river out front, playing croquet and Farkle on the lawn. We are so thankful to have found this place. Everything is just as described and it was perfect for our Colorado getaway to cooler temps. Can not say enough good things. Loved this place!!!

Beautiful mountain retreat

This was our second stay at this property and we enjoyed it so much. The house and linens were clean and there is everything you could need in the kitchen. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and spacious. We stayed with some friends who occupied the larger side and it was great being there together, but also having privacy. The grounds are well maintained and the kids and adults alike enjoyed exploring and playing. The fall weather was perfect and we can’t wait to visit again next year!

Amazing

We rented both houses for our family of 9. It was a wonderful place to make a lifetime of memories. The houses are beautifully stocked for downtime when you’re not seeing the sites around the area. Games to play, peaceful scenery, and great fishing were the highlights. The owners are also exceptional at communicating with you and it’s very clear they want you to enjoy your stay. I highly recommend this property!

Perfect Retreat

This was our second time staying here. We love the peace and quiet being just outside of town. The place is surrounded by trees and has a stream running through the front portion of the property. There is plenty of room for our kids to run around in the front yard and ride bikes on the driveway. Inside has everything we needed and a comfortable bed to sleep on. We definitely will be back in the future!

A Real Top Shelf Experience

Beautiful setting. Architecturally unique design. Well equipped house that can sleep 5-6 and plenty of family space to keep them happy. Windows down in the summer with river rushing and waterfall sounds made summer nights in fifties exceptionally great sleeping. A beautifully landscape with a river running through was incredible. It was within an hour of many other great places!

Cozy house

A comfortable, cozy home, plenty of room to enjoy family dinners in the kitchen and game nights in front of the fireplace. Thanks Nick for making our first white Christmas ever so pleasant! The kitchen was well stocked with basics, and the wood burning fireplace kept us cozy in the evenings. The property was beautiful, especially in the snow. Nick was very responsive to any questions, and checked in with us to be sure we had everything we needed We felt like this was truly home away from home.

Perfect Serenity

Superb. We stayed in the Bear Cabin for 10 days. The property is just idyllic. The river running right through the vast front yard was so soothing, and my partner enjoyed quite a bit of flyfishing. The home was well appointed with everything you could possibly need. I had a few questions for Nick, the host, and he always answered quickly and was extremely helpful. We will definitely be back!

For us, this property could not have been any better. This location is irreplaceable with gorgeous views seen from every room. The kitchen/dining area opens to the living room all with extensive windows and extraordinary views.My husband fished morning and dusk, catching (releasing) many trout. Morning devotions were magical at the dining table. The Bear cabin has a comfortable kitchen set up, and the cabin has plenty of books and games to enjoy. From bed, to shower, to lay out, to comfort, this property won us over. Have I mentioned the visiting turkeys that passed through the yard? Sweetest stay...can't wait to come back. The hosts were kind, generous with information and quick to respond. 20 mins from downtown Durango.

A Sylvan Sanctuary on the Florida RiverFrom the moment of our arrival, we found ourselves utterly enchanted by this home. Tucked away in pristine seclusion, the property is a rare haven where dense forest meets an abundance of local wildlife. Most captivating of all is the 600 feet of private frontage along the Florida River—an absolute paradise for angling enthusiasts. If you plan to cast a line into these pristine waters, simply remember to secure your fishing license ahead of time.Modern Comforts & Idyllic MomentsWhile the setting feels wonderfully detached from the frantic pace of modern life, connectivity is seamless; the internet is remarkably robust, pairing perfectly with the Apple TV for an evening stream. However, the true luxury here is found in the quiet moments. We spent our early mornings sipping coffee on the porch as the world woke up, and our evenings surrendered to the hypnotic, soothing melody of the rushing river. It is a deeply restorative experience.Host Hospitality & Guest WellnessCommunication with the owners was flawless—attentive, gracious, and thoroughly professional.For fellow travelers arriving from lower elevations, a brief note on acclimatization: the altitude requires respect. We highly recommend purchasing a few cans of Boost Oxygen to ease the transition. Dehydration can quickly compromise your stay, so be vigilant about drinking water while mindfully limiting your intake of caffeine and alcohol.

The property was clean and easy to get to. It has a beautiful river running right through the front that added to uniqueness. The only potential downside is that the property is split into two separate properties which reduces the privacy aspect. Otherwise this is a beautiful property.
