Very spacious, clean cabin right on the beautiful San Juan River. We fished at some of the Day Use locations closer to the dam, which were right down the road. Frank met us the day we arrived (and Sophie, the Giant Schnauzer!). My husband and I had a great time fishing, visiting Wines of the San Juan, and the Aztec Ruins.

We stayed in beautiful clean modern country home that met all of our needs we absolutly adored every moment we spent together as family here . The Lake wasn't too far away at all which was very convenient for us to be able to swim and visit the Marina to rent a boat and explore the waters. We enjoyed the river running near by the back yard ,we were able to fish whenever we liked . Thehot tub takes a bit to warm up but worked just fine once it was heated. Plus all the fun games the owner provided including all the space to fit a huge group! We will be coming back 10/10 recommend

The Cottonwood Cabin was magical!

Our stay at the cottonwood cabin was absolutely amazing! The property is so nice and so clean the cabin is really pretty and the yard was perfect for my dogs. The host Ry was also very nice and prompt to respond for all of our questions and concerns. We have been staying at Vrbo properties since Abe’s shutdown and this is by far the best we have ever stayed at! We will be back next year for more!

Very comfortable. Many things to do in beautiful scenery. Drove our Jeep, so did Jeep trails in the area, plus fishing. Frank, the host’s dad, went above and beyond with helpful information. So enjoyed meeting him.

The cabin was perfect for our family! We fished the beautiful San Juan River right off the backyard, enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the porch, and the views of the cliffs by the house were gorgeous. The location was perfect! We enjoyed Navajo Lake and hiking at Cutter Dam which were super close. It was also a quick drive to Durango, CO, and to see the Aztec Ruins. Such a beautiful location and property! Frank was also amazing!! He gave us lots of ideas of what to do, and was so great with our kids. We were sad to leave!

Great home, with fantastic host support

We had a great stay at Cottonwood cabin. The home was very clean when we arrived, and more than adequately equipped in the kitchen. The fenced in yard was exactly what we were looking for since we brought our pup Mojo. Our son enjoyed fly fishing on the San Juan from the property, and we made several outings on Navajo Lake with our fishing boat. Native American heritage abounds in the area, and neighbor Frank was absolutely our goto resource for everything we were thinking about doing. A great stay!

Wonderful, well-stocked, comfortable cabin

We loved staying at Cottonwood cabin! There is every amenity you could wish for from a fully-stocked kitchen to plenty of towels, bedding and blankets. The hot tub was sparkling clean and wonderful for morning and evening soaks. The teen girls loved having the loft with a full bathroom all to themselves. My husband as able to walk through the backyard to the river and fish. Also, the neighbor Frank and his dog Sophie were very friendly. We would definitely come back and stay!

We stayed with our son and his family for 3 nights. It was perfect for us. Our grandchildren loved having the upstairs to themselves. The kitchen was well equipped with even a rice cooker and Air Fryer ( not on website). Checkin was flawless and we got immediate response when we reached out to Ry. We loved watching the bats at dusk and not ONE mosquito!! Beds were very comfortable. Our grandaughters loved Frank next door. Next family get together we are hoping to rent again.

Fantastic place!

We came to fish the lower San Juan and wanted a place nicer than what’s available in Navaho Damn. This place is more than expected. Well maintained, clean, large, comfortable beds and a super nice hot tub! Oh ya, great view of the bluffs and river. Fishing was lights out on the Quality waters and if you want fishing in front of the house, it’s there. Owners father lives next door and was very friendly and helpful.
