Welcome to Mountain Shadow Retreat, a premier riverfront retreat offering luxury in an unforgettable Colorado setting. Nestled along the banks of the South Fork Rio Grande River, this exceptional home blends upscale comfort with breathtaking riverfront views and endless access to outdoor adventure.

Relax on the expansive riverside deck with sweeping views of the river and surrounding mountains, soak in the private hot tub just steps from the river or gather on the deck in the eveningsunder the stars. Whether you’re entertaining or unwinding, every space is designed for elevated relaxation.

Inside, the main level features three luxurious king bedrooms, each thoughtfully appointed for comfort. The primary suite offers a spa-like five-piece ensuite bath and Smart TV, while the two additional king bedrooms are also equipped with Smart TVs and share a spacious full bathroom. Upstairs, a bunk room and a fourth full bathroom provide additional accommodations ideal for families or groups.

The chef’s gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with dual ovens, a gas range, a large island, and an inviting dining area—perfect for hosting memorable meals. Step outside to the riverfront deck, complete with a gas grill and Blackstone for elevated outdoor dining.

    This house was amazing. We had four couples staying and it fit us perfectly. It was so thought out and we had everything we needed. It is in a great location along that beautiful river. The house was very clean and the host communicated well and we’re very helpful. We will definitely be back.

    House is amazing. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The location makes it super easy to go do activities during the day and to sit on the porch in the evenings soaking up all of God’s beautiful creation. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely book again.

    We had a wonderful stay here! Two families (9 people) and it was very spacious! Amenities included were great and the location is perfect! Easy drive to Wolf Creek to ski. The house was very clean and had plenty to do to keep our kids entertained indoors and out. We will definitely be staying again.

    We had our adult children and their spouses in addition to good friends (8 adults in all). The house is perfect for a large group and is only 20 minutes from Wolf Creek ski area. The house is spacious with an outstanding kitchen and a large great room. We’re already planning to rent it again next year!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was conveniently located with easy access for anyone towing trailers. The river was literally a few steps off of the back deck. The home was very clean, beautiful & thoughtfully laid out to accommodate a large family or multiple families. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of cookware & dishes. There were also pantry supplies (spices,flour,sugar,etc). The hosts were great & very responsive to any of our needs and checked with us regularly to make sure all was well. This home is definitely a five star and we would no hesitate to rent again!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Mountain Shadow Retreat was extremely accommodating for our family of five, and honestly can accommodate ten people very comfortably. The house is closer to the South Fork River than it appears in the pictures and the sound of rushing water can be heard quite nicely from the two back bedrooms. Absolutely gorgeous area with plentiful lakes and hiking trails. Property management is top notch (5/5 stars), they certainly want you to enjoy your stay. We wouldn’t hesitate coming back to this home.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well equipped kitchen and outdoor grill. Beds were comfortable with high quality linens and towels. House was spotless and gave a warm feeling as a home away from home. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space to socialize or to find some privacy. Nice fishing opportunities in the back yard; the 4 of us enjoyed success in catching and releasing nice size trout during our week stay. Management company was a pleasure to work with and followed up after our arrival to make sure we were finding everything to our satisfaction. We had 2 young male deer visit with us briefly. For fly fishermen, location is convenient to a number of local streams. Much better service and lower fee structure than the other major vacation rental firm.
