Our Mountain Shadow Retreat is the perfect getaway for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a luxurious getaway. Enjoy outdoor living and picturesque views of the South Fork River and surrounding mountains from the expansive riverfront deck. Soak in the riverside hot tub, gather around the fireplace, or read a book from the banks of the river. Entertain family and friends from the gourmet kitchen or enjoy a movie from the media room.

The main floor consists of three bedrooms, all with king-size beds. The main bedroom has a smart TV and a five-piece ensuite bathroom. The other two king-sized bedrooms have smart TVs and share a spacious full bathroom off the hallway. Head up the handcrafted staircase to the second floor to find the bunkroom and the fourth full bathroom for additional space.

Bed Configuration:
Main Bedroom - King Bed (main floor with five-piece ensuite bath with air-jetted tub), smart TV, riverside deck access.
2nd Bedroom - King Bed (main floor)-Select a Comfort bed, a smart TV, and riverside deck access.
3rd Bedroom - King Bed (main floor) with a smart TV.

The two (2) car garage offers ample space for parking vehicles, mountain bikes, ski gear, and more. You can head upstairs above the garage and find our media room. The media room is the perfect spot to recline and binge-watch your favorite show or movie after a long day of adventuring. We also have two (2) futons made into beds in the media room.

Wolf Creek Ski Area is 18 miles from the house, and the Rio Grande Golf Club is less than five miles away. Access ATV trails directly from the house without having to trailer out. You can fish behind the house or find gold medal waters along the Rio Grande River. South Fork has been named the Basecamp for Adventure for a reason. There is something for everyone here that can be easily explored from Mountain Shadow Retreat.

Wolf Creek ski weekend

We had our adult children and their spouses in addition to good friends (8 adults in all). The house is perfect for a large group and is only 20 minutes from Wolf Creek ski area. The house is spacious with an outstanding kitchen and a large great room. We’re already planning to rent it again next year!

The Perfect Place!

We spent four nights at this house with 12 of our extended family members, all of which slept comfortably. (Three kids and nine adults, ranging in ages from 6-73). The weather was perfect, the house was clean and tidy, and we appreciated what the owners have to offer. The backyard is ideal, and we enjoyed fishing in the river. It’s an easy drive to Creede, Pagosa Springs, and other nearby places. We’ll definitely come back!

Family Reunion

We could have not pick a perfect spot. The home had everything we could possibly need for a family get together. The sound of the River in the morning drinking a cup of joe was the most relaxing experience for me. The home was close to many activities which my kids had something planned for everyday. I would definitely recommend this. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

Beautiful and Spacious Home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Mountain Shadow Retreat was extremely accommodating for our family of five, and honestly can accommodate ten people very comfortably. The house is closer to the South Fork River than it appears in the pictures and the sound of rushing water can be heard quite nicely from the two back bedrooms. Absolutely gorgeous area with plentiful lakes and hiking trails. Property management is top notch (5/5 stars), they certainly want you to enjoy your stay. We wouldn’t hesitate coming back to this home.

Great home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well equipped kitchen and outdoor grill. Beds were comfortable with high quality linens and towels. House was spotless and gave a warm feeling as a home away from home. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space to socialize or to find some privacy. Nice fishing opportunities in the back yard; the 4 of us enjoyed success in catching and releasing nice size trout during our week stay. Management company was a pleasure to work with and followed up after our arrival to make sure we were finding everything to our satisfaction. We had 2 young male deer visit with us briefly. For fly fishermen, location is convenient to a number of local streams. Much better service and lower fee structure than the other major vacation rental firm.

House is amazing. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The location makes it super easy to go do activities during the day and to sit on the porch in the evenings soaking up all of God’s beautiful creation. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely book again.

Great Stay!

We had a wonderful stay here! Two families (9 people) and it was very spacious! Amenities included were great and the location is perfect! Easy drive to Wolf Creek to ski. The house was very clean and had plenty to do to keep our kids entertained indoors and out. We will definitely be staying again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was conveniently located with easy access for anyone towing trailers. The river was literally a few steps off of the back deck. The home was very clean, beautiful & thoughtfully laid out to accommodate a large family or multiple families. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of cookware & dishes. There were also pantry supplies (spices,flour,sugar,etc). The hosts were great & very responsive to any of our needs and checked with us regularly to make sure all was well. This home is definitely a five star and we would no hesitate to rent again!!

Perfect retreat home!

We loved this house! Sitting on the deck in the morning, drinking coffee and listening to the river was the perfect start to our day. Relaxing in the hot tub was the perfect ending…. The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen of any place I’ve ever rented, and I’ve rented a lot. There were lots of little things that really added up to a wonderful stay. The beds were firm but not too firm and we slept great. We will definitely be renting again next year when we come back!!

UTV riding vacation

It was a awesome house with a great location. We enjoyed listening to the river every morning and evening sitting on the deck with the warmth of the fire pit built into the pub table. We rode our utv about everyday with all the trails around. We rode over 300 miles this week and didn’t see everything so we’ll definitely be back again and we’ll plan it so we get this same house if possible. My whole family loved the house. There was 7 of us staying there so the 4 bathrooms was nice each couple had their private bathroom and bedroom. If I had one request (not a complaint at all) would be put a queen bed up in the loft and remove one set of the bunk beds so when it’s all adults they all have a big bed to sleep in. But we managed fine and had an awesome time.
