This home was a perfect fit for our family! It was spacious and had everything we needed for the week. The kitchen was well equipped, bedrooms & living spaces were comfortable. Mt Sopris views were amazing!
We appreciated how responsive and helpful Brittany was…any questions or concerns we had were quickly addressed.
We would absolutely stay here again!

the River Valley Retreat is fantastic. Plenty of room, incredible kitchen and waking up to an unobstructed view of sopris was so special. Walking distance to town which was great. And, the team at Boutique Homes was top notch - everything was super smooth and as promised! Can't recommend it more highly.

The property was amazing!
On a golf course with spactacular views of the area, and Mt Sopris! The owner was very responsive and pleasant. We take our family to this part of Colorado every year, and this has been one of the best properties we have stayed at.
There is a great restaurant a few blocks away at the golf course, and plenty of restaurants in Carbondale.
Overall an amazing place to stay.

The house was beautiful, with views of the golf course and Mt. Sopris. It was no more than 30 minutes from the 3 rivers and creeks we went fishing on, fishing was excellent as well.

We enjoyed our month’s stay … We felt the photos were not terribly accurate—house & furnishings are older and more ‘tired’ than photos indicate. Carpeting needs replacing upstairs, and hardwood floors very worn. Baths & kitchen dated. There were a number of issues that cropped up during our stay, but Property Management. Company was incredibly swift in addressing each need. They could not have been more helpful and responsive! Thank you, Cactus Vacations. Even though house was a bit worn and run down, the dead-on views of Mt. Sopris and golf course were gorgeous, and the River Valley Ranch neighborhood is lovely in every way. House is tucked in behind a pretty little neighborhood park. Location very convenient to town, and Rio Grand Bike Trail. All the beds were extremely comfortable, but many of the bed sheets were old and needed replacing. Not a luxurious property as is, but given some TLC and updating, it could be quite a special place.

Overall very nice property. A bit hard to find - the address marker is hard to see. It's a bit off of the main road. Comfortable and well kept.

Our youngest daughter was married in the RFV and our family of 8 stayed here during the wedding week. It was the perfect home base for all of our last minute preparations, with room to spare. We were able to unwind from all the hustle bustle and fun of hosting a wedding. The beautiful view of Sopris was the crowning touch as we relived all the memories over coffee the morning after the wedding. Our now family of 9 is ready to come back and enjoy all that this special place has to offer!

Awesome place. Well kept and communication with property manager was amazing. Truly recommend anyone staying to ski Aspen Snowmass. 30 min drive to shuttle bus that takes you to the mountain. Not bad at all.

Perfect Group Stay
The house was spacious and clean. Exactly as shown. Great communication with the host. Only complaint would be that there were only two towels provided per bathroom and we had to restock garbage bags and laundry soap as there was very little provided. Considering it’s such a large house clearly meant for groups, this was a little surprising.

The house is beautiful and very spacious. The back patio was great for hanging out and grilling and watching the golfers go by. We were there for a golf tournament and each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom. That was great. Loved the place, wish we had stayed longer.

Had a fine 12 days at this property. Well-located and well-suited to our family's needs and plans. Property manager was extremely quick to respond with assistance and information as needed for the few little road-bumps that presented themselves while we were there.

This property was absolutely beautiful. The view of Mt Sopris was perfect for our “first look” photos before the wedding at River Valley Ranch the Old Thompson Barn. This home is comfortable, well maintained, large and everything we hoped for.

Our family enjoyed a two night stop over at this property on a return trip from the Grand Canyon to the Denver Metro area. We took advantage of the 10% property discount at Iron Mountain Hot Springs and enjoyed our trip and the property. It was exactly as pictured and described, although the views were possibly even better than promised. House had every convenience, was clean, and was incredibly comfortable. Our one critique came on the outside, where some maintenance work is needed (weeding in driveway and landscaping, furniture to better enjoy outdoor spaces). Hardly a major issue, but disappointing at such a beautiful property.
