Access to the Pine River is by means of a short walk down a gently sloping hillside through pasture and woods. The King Ditch, a large man-made canal, used for downstream agricultural irrigation, is traversed by a bridge over the waterway. After crossing the bridge. guests are then very near the river’s edge where there is a long stretch of wooded meadow and mixed shoreline of grass and river rock. This is a fantastic section of river, where the sound of mountain waters may be a rapid roar, or a gentle cascade, depending on the seasonal water flow level. Catch and release fishing is excellent in several spots along the river. This is a perfect spot to hone one’s fly-fishing skills. There are nice, flat areas for picnicking, lounging, short hikes in the river bottom and relaxing outdoor fun.

The cabin was just what my husband and I were looking for. Quaint, cozy, & private!! Although several of our activities included us driving to Durango, we found the drive to be quite enjoyable. The countryside in the Bayfield area is beautiful!

This was our second stay at this property and we loved it just as much as the first time. Clean, comfortable, and quiet with a great location for exploring SW Colorado. We spent time almost every day down by the river and enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else!
