The home is in a good location. We enjoyed the comfortable porch furniture while relaxing in the evening. The rushing river sound was so nice to hear through the night. The home had little extras that made it special. Having 2 master bedrooms with a bathroom was perfect for 2 couples.

Many issues with the property. Everything was outdated. Appliances didn’t work. Huge leak in the downstairs bathroom. Needs a lot of work.

I took my daughter, son-in-law and grandson to the mountains. The two guys had never been to the
Rockies. They were amazed at the views, the river, the flly-fishing and just the sights and sounds of the mountains.
The cabin was bigger than we needed, but I couldn't resist sitting on the deck and listening to the river. Would love to go back again.

Annual get together with all 10 family members. Great time reconnecting & having great quality family time. Enjoyed local activities (hiking, zip lining, fishing) and making s’mores on the incredible deck. Such a fun trip & such a great experience.
Durango is a wonderful community.

This is an extraordinary VRBO. Not only is the house clean, well appointed, and beautiful, but the setting is absolutely magical. If you have dreamed of stepping onto a back deck and being mere feet from a wildly flowing river, look no more! I slept with the bedroom window open each night, and have never heard a sweeter lullaby...provided by a river in the forest.

Pictures are very accurate, beautiful home. Comfortable, very much enjoyed by all 7 of my family members of all ages! We found that we had to space our showers out, ran out of hot water pretty quickly. It was not a big deal, we made it work. Attempted to make a fire, house filled with smoke even after opening the flue, texted property mgr. gave us some instructions with no success. No worries once again, we were happy with the outside fire pit. We all left feeling refreshed and balanced. Also, great location! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!

Very relaxing home to sit and listen to the river and have a fire. Had a barbeque and sat outside just conversing, listening to the river and enjoying the peace and tranquility of our surroundings.

Our stay at the cabin was just wonderful & peaceful. The cabin was so comfortable and the river in the back made it extra wonderful. Thursday, Friday weather was cloudy and a little rain which is cabin weather, but Saturday morning woke up to snow....beautiful! Hung around the cabin and played games, the only thing negative was we could not get the fireplace lit, that would of been perfect with the snow. Oh well, we all still had a good time. In the evening we went to Steam Works for dinner....yummy. Overall, my family loved the cabin and we will be back, the property managers did a good job in communicating with us and arranging everything...thanks Casie. Thank the owners for sharing their beautiful cabin home with us. Now back to the city... until next time... The Atcitty family

Great Property other than a couple of issues. The fireplace does not operate properly. Saw that posted from an earlier guest so called the property manager to confirm that the issue had been addressed and was told that it had. It absolutely was not. Had the same problem with them oven.

The location is everything they claim. Nestling on the porch by the river was pure heaven. We were there the first week in Oct., and the Fall colors were on fiery display. I took over 500 photographs! The highlight for everyone was the Durango-Silverton steam locomotive ride. Just spectacular. We suggest taking the bus back to Durango because 6+ hours on the train is a bit much. The cabin is just as shown in the photos: fantastic and gorgeous. Two non-functioning features of the cabin keep it from getting 5 *s on our trip. We were unable to use the fireplace due to a flue blockage. The owner discounted the rate somewhat, but that was still a big disappointment. Check on this before you book. A non-functioning oven was also disappointing, but we're told the owners have a new one on order. Oct 2-7, 2023

I've stayed at many VRBO's and this was probably my favorite! The home is conveniently located 20 mins out of Durango in a small, quiet neighborhood along the river. The house is oriented so that you cannot see other houses, and the rushing river creates an amazing, zen 24-hour white noise that is SO relaxing. High ceilings, tons of windows and simple, bright decor keep the interior light, bright, and airy. Highlights: 1. very well-stocked kitchen with utensils, dishes, staples 2. enough space for everyone gather in living/kitchen/porch area - but also to have privacy - four separate bedrooms plus a loft. 3. super easy cleaning & checkout procedure 4. huge back porch by the river for eating. lounging and gathering - simply amazing. Additionally, property mgrs were responsive and the home was very clean. For consideration: the rushing water is a risk for small children - this property might not be suitable for families with adventurous littles if you can't be sure you'll be watching them like a hawk. Everyone in our group was so happy with this property - I felt like such a hero for booking it :-)

We enjoyed the property very much.

This property is lovely. It’s in somewhat of a neighborhood, but you wouldn’t know once you get to the house. It feels very secluded from anyone and it’s the perfect place to relax with family!

The river behind the house was absolutely wonderful! You could feel the cool air off the water. We enjoyed our stay in the house and all our needs were met. We felt like we were staying in a family home! The nights were cool, very chilly in the morning, which we loved! Thank you for sharing your house!

Will be booking again! The outdoor space alone is worth it but the accommodations are equally wonderful! Location is amazing and while there are other houses around you don’t feel crowded. Being at the end of the road is great! Been to several VRBO’s but none with a pantry so we’ll stocked! The manager was very helpful. You can’t go wrong with this rental!

Stayed the weekend before Thanksgiving to enjoy an early celebration. Always love spending time in this area outside Durango and this home was perfect for enjoying it all! Plenty of room for our family of nine for the three days. Kitchen was well stocked and plenty big. Family room allowed us to play charades all together. Everyone's bed was comfy and warm. No shoes policy allowed us to sport our holiday socks. There was a strong enough wifi connection for our daughter to submit her homework online (everyone else stayed off during that period). A little too cold to stay out on the beautiful deck, but still enjoyed the flowing river. Went to Vallecito Campground to hike around and saw amazing ice features that we'd never encountered before. A great time, in a great place. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great for families
This house was incredible! It only has 2 bathrooms, which is tough if several families are staying. But the sound of the river and being feet from the river make up for anything lacking. The scenery is just magnificent. The outdoor deck is awesome! Great place to stay!

Family wedding get away
We loved our stay at Riversong. It was a beautiful cabin and enough space for our family of 4 plus grandma, grandpa and aunt to join. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to the Florida. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cabin!

Peaceful and quiet in a beautiful location
We are a family of four with two teenagers and two dogs. The set up was perfect as were in Durango for A bike race. It was very clean and comfortable and we had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with pantry staples and everything we needed for needed for cooking. Our only complaint was the TV…it needs to be replaced as it blanks out about every minute making it difficult to watch anything . The location on the river is fabulous if you want a private and serene setting. It’s about 20 minutes to town but it’s an easy drive.

Winter Durango Family Vacation
The cabin is a great distance from Durango and all the nearby sights. We visited downtown, the Mesa Verde National Park, and even the local ski hills. We enjoyed the views and secluded feeling of the cabin. The mountain air was frigid but nice. We had a marvelous time at the cabin, but DO NOT start a fire in the chimney. It is either not cleaned on the inside or the snow was covering the opening outside…..
The snow removal could be improved, but it did snow constantly the time we were there.
If you are a skier or if you want to start, we would suggest renting from ski barn and visiting Chaplin hill and Hesperus up the road.
Other than those pointers, we enjoyed it and froze in the wonderful winter weather!

Beautiful and peaceful property
The property is in a small valley about 20 minutes from Durango on the Florida River with beautiful views. The house is comfortable and well equipped with plenty of room to relax and enjoy down time or family game night. Love the patio and fire pit!

Quiet Haven!
Beautiful property on the river! Just exactly what we needed to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We so enjoyed the local activities, but our very favorite times were when we sat in front of the fire pit or the wood-burning fireplace. It was magical! We definitely will return with family and friends! Comfortable and clean, spacious and fully stocked kitchen. We highly recommend!

Very Relaxing Place
We very much enjoyed our stay at this river side house. The house was clean, well kept, and had plenty of room for 6 adults and 1 child. The kitchen was well stocked, linens were clean, and instruction were very clear. This house was great for a relaxing getaway with beautiful scenery and sounds with the river so close. It was about a 20 minute drive to downtown Durango which is close enough to get into town quickly but far enough away to not feel so crowded. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place, it was so peaceful and relaxing. We loved falling asleep to river every evening. The home was clean and had everything we needed and to bring our pet was a nice bonus. We will be back.

A Slice of Heaven
We only spent 2 nights there, but that was not enough. My Husband and I fell in love with this place. This place is a Slice of
Heaven and we enjoyed every minute. The stream outside was
amazing and the property was very private. Would highly recommend if you need to just get away!!

Excellent place
Great house right on the river. Super convenient for our party of three families and our daughter lives just down the street. Perfect place for our dogs too. No one around with lots of trees. The kids had a ball playing in the snow and building snow f rts.

Wonderful Stay at Riversong
Our family of six (all adults and young adults) loved staying at Riversong. We spent hours on the deck enjoying the sound of the river and beautiful weather and setting. It was clean, so comfortable and nicely appointed and well-laid out for a family.

Beautiful and peaceful
The pictures don’t do this home and property justice. It’s in a beautiful location with views of the river from almost every room. The home is well built and very comfortable.
