About this house rental

Welcome to A River Runs Through It, our peaceful family retreat surrounded by 60 acres in western Colorado.

Built by our parents, this home has brought our family together for years of shared meals, games, and memories. Now we’d love to share it with yours. Whether you’re planning a family reunion or a quiet getaway, you’ll feel miles away from everything, with open fields, wildlife, river views, and glimpses of the mountains—yet groceries are just three minutes away.

The open kitchen and living room make it easy to cook together, share meals, and gather around the fireplace. Spend a slow morning on the wrap-around porch overlooking the river, or challenge the family to ping pong, foosball, shuffleboard, darts, and board games in the garage game room.

It’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories of your own.

On-site managers: Our managers live in a separate apartment above the garage, across the breezeway. They’re available if you need anything and respect your privacy.

This lovely home and property was absolutely "perfect", as was said by all of us that stayed here! From the first communication with the owner, who was very pleasant, kind, and thoughtful -- to the property manager -- who, as well, was very pleasant, helpful, and kind -- everything was incredibly wonderful! This location was great for our family; it had lots of space for our 'littles' to roam inside and outside. This location is close to any store or restaurant offered in Montrose. It is a very quiet location; one can sit and rock on the back or front porch and listen to the many birds singing that love this place, as well! There is a cool stream, a creek, a pond, a river - a great place to relax, have fun, and de-stress! Will we be back? Absolutely! Planning on making more memories for the family!!

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. I really appreciated the cleanliness, attention to detail and the quality of the offering. The home and property had everything you needed, and the owners were not skimpy and what they provided for their guests. I greatly appreciate that.
