This place was amazing and the owners were very responsive to every question we had. We would absolutely stay again. And the elk that came right up near the porch were beautiful and calm and made the experience extra special.

Thank you so much for coming to stay at River’s Edge Retreat. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. And lucky you saw the elk! Come again and look for the javelina or the deer or the cows!
Stayed 4 days. The location was perfect. Got a couple inches of snow twice. Views are spectacular. Would stay again.

Clean and beautiful house
We had a very pleasant stay with our friends!The house is fully renovated and everything was brand new and super clean!We enjoyed the Mountains view and the creek near the house. I would love to stay in this house again and would recommend it to others.
House was very nice remodel with a wonderful view and quick walk to the creek. Appliances all worked well. We went up with my adult kids/ grandbabies. There was a pack n play that came in handy. My only request would be to possibly offer a toddler gate for the top of staircase since the game area is on 2nd floor. We had no issues at all during our stay We would definitely return!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for your feedback! Please come stay again!
We originally planned for 12 people but ended up with 8, and it turned out to be the perfect number—12 would’ve felt a bit too crowded. The cabin was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We especially loved the covered porches—such a great place to relax and take in the fresh air. The gas fire pit was a big hit for making s’mores in the evenings. We had some amazing wildlife sightings too—elk right near the cabin and even surprise visits from javelina! The surrounding scenery was absolutely beautiful. A peaceful and memorable stay all around!
