About the host

Hosted by Dan and Melissa Jones

Host profile image
We are Dan and Melissa Jones, managers of Rio Cabin Retreat. We recently moved to South Fork full time from Canyon, Texas where we raised our 2 kids. Dan grew up coming to the mountains for vacation as a child, and this is where he wanted to eventually retire from the car business. We also brought our kids to South Fork for family vacations when they were young. So, as soon as our son graduated high school, we made the move. We own and manage Rio River Retreat Lodge right next door to Rio Cabin Retreat. We were blessed to be asked to manage this adorable little cabin on the river and all of the guests just fall in love with it! We hope you will choose to make some memories where the river meets the mountains!

Why they chose this property

It is located on the gold medal fishing waters of the Rio Grande River and has both an upper and lower yard with plenty of seating in various places to enjoy the mountain scenery!

What makes this property unique

Small cabins on the river are hard to find!! You will love the private porch that looks to the river for cool evenings and your favorite beverage! Want more privacy? Head down to the lower yard for a cozy campfire and s’mores on the riverside fire pit! Wrap up in your blanket with a glass of wine and watch the sunset!
