About this property

Bear Shed Family Retreat

  • Bear Shed - South Fork, CO

    Modern Mountain Cabin | Private Hot Tub, Firepit, Wood Stove | Dog-Friendly

    Make the most of your mountain getaway at this stunning, two-story cabin along the Rio Grande River. Designed for comfort and relaxation, this spacious retreat offers gorgeous views, multiple outdoor hangout spots, and thoughtful touches for families and friends alike. Unwind in the private hot tub, gather around the gas firepit on the screened patio, or relax indoors with two cosy living spaces—each perfect for film nights or quiet afternoons.

    Inside, the full kitchen has everything you need to whip up home-cooked meals, while high-speed WiFi and smart TVs keep everyone entertained. A wood-burning stove adds that extra mountain charm. Travelling with kids? You’ll find a high chair and Pack ’n Play ready to go.

    A quick note about the home's layout: The Bear Shed is a two-story mountain home. All four bedrooms and full bathrooms are located on the second floor, which is accessed by an interior staircase with a handrail. We like to make guests aware of this layout when planning for young children or anyone with limited mobility. For additional flexibility, the main floor includes sofa beds in both living areas as well as a conveniently located powder room under the staircase.

This cabin was perfect for our family vacation. Three king sized bedrooms was exactly what we needed! It was also nice to have two living areas. The location is quiet and while the property’s river access is not great, the walk to the public access point is very short and worked well for us! The hosts instructions and recommendations were detailed and helpful. On site appliances, games, and other amenities were sufficient. The hosts instructions had excellent communication and was wonderful about working with us on a slightly early check in time. Would stay again!
