Rowan the Rio Hot Tub on Rio

Permit #STR-01-24

Rowan on the Rio sits at the end of a private cul de sac with the property abutting the Rio Grande River. The home is brand new featuring two master suites each with a king size bed and full bath on the first floor. The grand staircase leading to the second floor was constructed with beetle kill logs from the surrounding area.
A gourmet, fully-equipped kitchen flows into the cathedral ceiling family room with ample room for all of your guests.
The upstairs has two bedrooms; one with a queen size bed and the other "bunk room" has four bunks in all. Two bunk beds are twin over twin and two bunk beds are twin over full size beds. There is a full bath on the second floor with a unique, handmade vanity/sink.
The private back decking provides a unique and calming setting for a soak in the hot tub. Also enjoy the soothing sounds of the Rio Grande River and all of its wildlife!

Our stay here was excellent. It is in a prime location right on the river. We look forward to staying here again. The only thing that could have made our stay better would have been a hot tub out back 😉

Fall in South Fork

Our family had a wonderful vacation at this cabin. We enjoyed being right on the river. The neighborhood was quiet and we took morning walk with ou dog. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. . Our adult kids had a blast playing table tennis. The weather was cool and loved seeing the fall colors in the area. Would highly recommend this property.

Baer on the River

This beautiful open concept log home was perfect for a multiple family ski trip. Stunning views of the River and plenty of room for the perfect entertainment setting. While we cooked in the stocked kitchen, the kids could play games as the men watched football. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful home

We loved the location to everything. River looked and sounded amazing even though it was in a neighborhood! We were here between seasons so really enjoyed all the kitchen supplies...absolutely amazing how equipped it was! Note there not a lot of restaurants open this time of year but grilling with river view amazing. Only recommendation is have blinds or curtains over bedroom windows for privacy. Ping pong so fun! And mule deer walk right out back door. Definitely would stay here again!

Christmas with the family

Vrbo allowed plenty of space to gather all 16 for first time since Covid. Kitchen size accommodating but equipment was limited. Laundry facilities were great. Dining was cumbersome to get around large bulky table…no leg room. Bedroom set up was good…beds were a little weak. Sheets were ill fitting on some beds. Living furniture limited seating for cold winter temperatures. Forced air heating sounds like you are in a wind tunnel….tough to visit over the noise. Grateful the fire wood arrived…the wood burning stove made the living area much more conducive to sharing conversation with family. Bathrooms were acceptable space to manage our group. Hot water was exceptionally good…never ran out after multiple showers. Cleaning was surface only and in need of some deep floor, ceiling (over the stove), window cleaning.

Enough room for a large family

This lovely house was just like the listing. There was plenty of space for our family of 14. The house was located in a quiet neighborhood, about 30 min away from Wolf Creek Ski resort. There are a few minor things we would have liked to make our stay better like more comfortable seating in the living room area so the whole family can watch a movie together, TV's in the bedrooms, and the heating system can be a bit loud when it's on and makes the tv in living room hard to hear. The host was prompt in responding to a small kitchen mishap and sent out someone to come and fix it. Overall we would stay again and highly recommend this house with a great view of the river in the back.

Outstanding Ski Vacation Home!

I can't say enough great things about this property. First of all, the pictures don't do it justice ... every room is perfectly appointed and decorated for the dream winter vacation. Two master bedrooms downstairs with a 2rd large bedroom upstairs plus the bunk room. The kitchen was the most well-stocked of any VRBO that we've stayed in. Literally anything you could ever need is available. There was an abundance of towels (which is usually something that is limited at other properties). The views of the river in the back are breathtaking and the neighborhood is small, quiet and lovely. Others have mentioned the lack of blinds/window dressings but I think it's perfect waking up to those incredible views. South Fork was a great alternative to Pagosa Springs ... grocery stores in South Fork as well as Del Norte (just 10 mins away) provided everything we needed. And, we had an awesome dinner on NYE in Del Norte at Colorado Grille. Took the kids sledding in the city park in South Fork and they loved it. And, it's a shorter drive to the mountain for skiing & snowboarding. We will definitely consider this property for our next trip to Wolf Creek!

Great place for visiting family

We really enjoyed staying here. We were in the area to visit family who live nearby and it was a great house to have them come visit us and spend time. The kids loved all the outdoor space and the River, even though we had a cold snap while we were there. The house was exactly as described. Thankfully we were aware from other reviews that there are no window coverings so we came prepared with sleep masks and had no problems. We would definitely rent again!
