Cutthroat Lodge on the River
Riverside Escape on the Rio Grande – Private Cabin, Views, & Adventure
Wake up to the sound of the river, step outside with your coffee, and watch the sun rise over the mountains—this is Colorado the way it’s meant to be experienced.
Tucked along the banks of the Rio Grande in South Fork, this warm and inviting mountain cabin blends rustic charm with modern comfort, making it the perfect basecamp for everything from fly fishing and rafting to skiing, hiking, and unplugging from the world.
The Experience
This isn’t just a cabin—it’s your private slice of riverfront Colorado. Spend your mornings casting a line just steps from the deck, afternoons exploring endless trails, and evenings gathered around the fire with a glass of whiskey as the stars light up the sky.

Cabin had plenty of room. The beds were comfortable and clean. It had most everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Being next to the river was perfect for my husband to fly fish.
