About this property

Free Snowshoeing-Kayaking-Rafting-Discounted Golf at the Rio Grande Club. Email us with inquiries. This listing is for all 3 cabins (Studio, Guest and Master) rented together. The Guest cabin is located on the far-left side in our main picture, the Master is located to the far right in the main picture. We live in the center building in the main picture and the Studio cabin is located directly behind our cabin. Please scroll through all the pictures to best understand the layout of our property.

Our home is a Norwegian style dovetail log home with chinking in between the logs, we cut all the dovetail corners on site and set every log ourselves. It has 3 nicely decorated bedrooms all with queen beds and there is also a sofa sleeper, 6 people can sleep comfortably in beds. Each bedroom has its own TV with cable, HBO and DVD/VCR, we also have a DVD library of about 100 movies. One of the three bathrooms is also equipped with a washer and dryer. The kitchen might be considered more of an efficiency one with a smaller 4 top electric stove/oven, full size refrigerator and no dishwasher but is well appointed with all the accessories and utensils you might need.

Outside you will find a beautiful sail-shade covered (summer) picnic area along the banks of the river. The picnic area is equipped for cooking on a gas grill or in the fire pit area on the custom-made plow disc wok. Really want to relax, you can take a dip in the hot tub surrounded by beautiful flower gardens, and at night enjoy the endless stars.

We have inflatable kayaks, a raft and innertubes available for our guests to use free of charge (with waiver and damage deposit) to float in the river on a nice sunny day, 2-night minimum stay required. We will also shuttle guests for float trips when available and prearranged. In winter we also have snowshoes available for our guests to use and get out and explore the area. Seasonally

We are able to offer guests discounted golfing at the Rio Grande Club contact us for further information or to book a tee time.

Neat property complete with rushing river!

Fritz and Paula have a fantastic place! We loved the 3 different sleeping options. The river was my favorite! It had been raining the days leading up to our stay so it was really gushing! We enjoyed hanging out and the kids loved Fritz's LED hole hoops!

Great place to stay!

We rented all 3 cabins and really enjoyed our stay! It was perfect for multiple families or groups all traveling together. They had everything we needed and even went out of their way to take us up the rivier for kayaking multiple times! We had a blast and hope to stay here again. They have a great property with hiking, fishing, kayaking, and basically all the cool things you would find at a cabin in the mountains, yet still close to civilization once you leave the property. We loved it!

Couldn’t ask for anything better!

Home away from home. We rented three cabins for Christmas, however, this would be ideal any time of the year. Wonderful hosts with such attention to detail. I cannot wait to return. Book now and make the best memories!

About the host

Hosted by Fritz and Paula Allen

Riverside Meadows was built entirely by the Owners Fritz and Paula Allen along with their daughter Sadi and we would like to welcome you to out home. This is our primary residence and we will most likely be here for your stay, your private cabin will allow you as much privacy as you like and we will be available to help with any questions and / or problems that inevitably arise.

Why they chose this property

We are located on the banks of the Rio Grande River in a very private and secluded setting on 8 acres. Relax and enjoy the sounds of the river from your cabin, hammock or cooking out right next to the river. You can enjoy fishing from our property or take a float on some of the 17 miles of 'Gold Medal' waters from South Fork to Del Norte. Inflatable fishing raft and inflatable kayaks are available for our guests and if available we are happy to provide a shuttle and possibly act as a tour guide if you are looking for some social interaction. New this year we are able to offer guests discounted golf at the Rio Grande Club. During the shoulder seasons as low as $30 and during peak season as low as $39 including cart rental. We can make a reservation up to 30 days in advance.

What makes this property unique

Winter guests can enjoy use of our snowshoes for free. Take them out and explore our beautiful back country during winter. We will be happy to suggest some areas. Enjoy the outdoor fire pit year round with firewood provided. During the summer we have made available to our guest our 4 inflatable kayaks and a self bailing raft to use and enjoy while here. We recently added 4 high quality inner-tubes for floating as well. You would easily pay $500 per day for renting these items that are included for free, we are also available in the summer to help with vehicle shuttles.
