Bear Shed Family Retreat

Bear Shed - South Fork, CO

Modern Mountain Cabin | Private Hot Tub, Firepit, Wood Stove | Dog-Friendly

Make the most of your mountain getaway at this stunning, two-story cabin along the Rio Grande River. Designed for comfort and relaxation, this spacious retreat offers gorgeous views, multiple outdoor hangout spots, and thoughtful touches for families and friends alike. Unwind in the private hot tub, gather around the gas firepit on the screened patio, or relax indoors with two cozy living spaces—each perfect for movie nights or quiet afternoons.

Inside, the full kitchen has everything you need to whip up home-cooked meals, while high-speed WiFi and smart TVs keep everyone entertained. A wood-burning stove adds that extra mountain charm. Traveling with kids? You’ll find a high chair and Pack ’n Play ready to go.

For additional flexibility, the main floor includes sofa beds in both living areas as well as a conveniently located powder room under the staircase.
