3 Bedroom Cabin in Dolores

The San Juan Riverside Retreat is a spacious, modern luxury cabin with cathedral ceilings located on the West Dolores River in the San Juan National Forest.

When you return, relax by the firepit or in the hammock, and enjoy all the home's amenities!
About this home:
The cabin has cathedral ceilings with expansive windows and is furnished with luxury furniture, linens, and mattresses, including an Aireloom king-size in the primary bedroom and a queen-size cooling memory foam mattress with an adjustable base in the second bedroom.

This upscale vacation rental is perfect for couples, families, or adults vacationing together. While there is plenty do on the property and the adjacent river and trail, it’s just over 30 minutes to Mesa Verde National Park and 1 hour to Telluride or Durango. Or, take a short drive to the Geyser Spring Trail and hike to see Colorado’s only natural geyser! In the winter, there is often enough snow for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding right outside the door. When night falls, enjoy stargazing from this location even more remote than nearby certified Dark Sky areas.

Summary: We had a great time at this beautiful Riverside cabin! The pictures are accurate to reality. The cabin was very clean and spacious. There are several charming gathering places outside the cabin, a firepit area, a riverside sitting area, a riverside swing, and a dining table. The cabin is just steps from the river and there is a beautiful hiking trail just down the way as well. We highly recommend this listing!
