An idyllic & peaceful setting. My stay was only for 1 night, but I can imagine it would be a great place to return to every night after a day of adventuring during a prolonged stay. The proprietor, Fritz, was great. Would recommend to anyone.

no complaints

Hosts Frits and Paula are cordial, disarming and readily available and welcoming. Upon arrival any sense of urgency that may have tagged along uninvitedly slips away, a vocational hazard of modern living. The property is nestled away on the edge of the Rio Grande River giving you a feeling of privacy you would expect if you were in the high mountain, giving you the advantage of being close to local restaurants and businesses. Fritz invested a lot of time in planning and building his cabins, choosing hewn timbers from Tennessee, contrasted with a modern white chinking material, providing a rustic Appalachian effect, with dovetail notches at the corners, as compared to the round “Lincoln Log” timber. I spent some time marveling at his craftsmanship. Anyone who has taken a woodworking or a “Shop” class in high school will appreciate Fritz’s desire to maintain this historical style. In closing, this lovely couple will be “the warm gravy on your cold mashed potatoes.” And, I am forever grateful. With every good wish and enduring good will, Dr. Drew

Location stupenda

The cabin we stayed in is located just a few feet from the Rio Grande River. It was a secluded and peaceful spot.

Stunning location, next to a river surrounded by pine trees. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The only regret is we wish we stayed there longer.

The owners are very nice people and the cabins are very nice

The recliner must be broken or just extremely uncomfortable.

Very welcoming and clean with lots of costmetics and kitchenware. A fantastic overall experience.

Absolutely not a thing!

After years of reservations on Booking, Riverside Meadows Cabins has reset the bar for the gold standard. The location is unbeatable and the owners incredibly accommodating. My partner and I discovered this place by pure luck in an effort to escape the heat of eastern Utah. The reviews don’t do this place justice, and for good reason: loose lips sink ships! Seriously, I feel like we stumbled upon one of the best small businesses in all of Colorado. Literal footsteps from the Rio Grande, the rooms are immaculate and well provisioned. Quiet and comfortable, my partner and I are already looking forward to our next stay with Fritz and his family. And speaking of Fritz, I would be remiss if I didn’t single him out for being such a great host. After my girlfriend and I arrived, Fritz and his family took off to attend a music festival in neighboring Del Norte. Not a half hour later I locked the room keys to our room inside the cabin. And when I called Fritz, not only did he answer, he walked us through finding a hide-a-key completely saving the day. So many superlatives to say about this place, but between the surroundings, the immaculately clean rooms, the wonderful owners and their resident border collie, Kobi, this place is the definition of five stars!

I personally don’t like to wake up when the sun comes up so I usually like to have curtains on the windows as an option. I can understand why the owners would like to keep that to a minimum because it would take away from the beauty of the inside of the cabin.

The owners put a lot of stock in creating an environment to relax and it felt like we were stepping into another world for a time. The cabins were just yards from the river and so tastefully decorated. They have flowers staged everywhere. We would love to come back someday.

Right on the Rio Grande. You could hear the river through the windows and it made for great sleeping.

If you are traveling to South Fork, this is the place to stay. It's a lovely cabin located right on the river. There's just nothing like the sound of a rushing river to enhance your stay!

The bed was a little harder then we like.

This location is stunning. Owner gave us recommendations of where to eat. If you are there Friday or Saturday eat at Little Timbers tapas so good.
