The Call of the Water

Positioned on 10 acres on the West Fork of the Dolores River with 450 feet of river frontage, you can fish for beautiful trout right out your door, or hike/hunt in the USFS land adjoining this property on two sides, kayak the river during the spring melt, innertube during summer, mountain bike the nearby trails, or just enjoy the firepit and watch hummingbirds. Your call. This well-loved, river-front cabin can be your place to get away from it all.

Dolores Colorado cabin
This is a great cabin for a stay in Southwest Colorado. The West Dolores river is feet from the house. The cabin has been updated and has everything you need for a perfect stay. The host was very responsive. I was lucky to find this property for my vacation.

Absolutely wonderful!
Our stay at the cabin was wonderful! We had a glitch when checking in ( with the cleaning) and the owner was extremely responsive, took care of it ASAP, and gave us a bit of a refund for the inconvenience. The cabin was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. The location is convenient and the cabin is totally cozy! My only suggestion would be to improve the lighting with some lamps. Highly recommend!

September stay
Really loved this property right on the river. Expansive windows. Even came with a 7 am squirrel wake up call dropping cones on the roof. Part of the rustic charm. :) Great location and private and close to so many beautiful places.

Nature immersion with access to cute town and amazing trails. Very simple lodging didn’t distract from the gorgeous surroundings.

Cabin in the woods
Enjoyed this cozy cabin on the west Dolores River. It was very peaceful. Picked this cabin as a central location so that we could go to Durango, Telluride, Ridgway/Ouray and Silverton. The drives to these towns were spectacular. If you love the sound of water at night to help you sleep, this is the place.

Awesome Getaway!
This place is great, we enjoyed being away from town, its easy to get to, in and out. Very clean and open, right next to the river. Only 13 miles into town. Very comfortable* * A 2" memory foam mattress topper would be a great addition, as this mattress is very firm. My bones would appreciate that!

Quiet Place to Enjoy Nature
We enjoyed our stay at this nice, quiet cabin on a river. The cabin was comfortable with great views of the river and the surrounding hills and forest. The cabin had all the necessary amenities, and we really appreciated the extensive information that the host provided about the area and things to do. The location is great for exploring Dolores, Cortez, Mancos, and Telluride. The only negatives we had were that the loft area was somewhat dusty with a resident spider and there wasn’t any way to walk along the river, as the banks were too rocky and obscured by brush and trees. Overall, it was a really nice place to get away and enjoy the nature and mountain towns of Southwestern Colorado. Thanks for sharing this great place to stay.
