About this property

Amazing house and hot tub on the river.

The River House in Bailey, Colorado offers a private mountain getaway immediately adjacent to the South Platte River. The River House is intimate enough for a romantic getaway, with a main floor master suite, oversized marble and glass shower and claw foot tub, and cozy wood stove in the great room. But with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, there is plenty of room for family and friends to come along if you want company! This property is in a private location south of the river, with a hot tub on the deck looking over one of the best fishing holes. The River House is part of the 40-acre Two Bridges Lodge resort family of accommodations.

Guests at The River House have full access to The Park at Two Bridges, an exclusive private playground across the river for guests of the Two Bridges Lodge family of accommodations. With a catch and release fishing pond, outdoor games, fire pit, picnic areas, barbecue grill, and more, it provides ample opportunity for fun. You can also enjoy all the outdoor adventures the 285 Corridor has to offer, or just walk out the door of the newly remodeled home to hike or relax right on the property—bounded on two sides by the Pike National Forest.

Hungry? The downtown Bailey restaurants are within walking distance. Whip up your favorite recipe in the fully equipped and newly remodeled kitchen or take it outside to grill on the deck and watch the river flow past.

After a day of adventure, relax in front of the wood-burning fireplace or enjoy the stars and sound of the river from the private deck and hot tub. The house includes wi-fi and Netflix if you would like to cuddle up and watch a movie on the big screen TV.

No pets are allowed at the property, but you are welcome to enjoy our native wildlife. We will assess an additional charge for a minimum of $500 or actual damages (if greater) for any violation of these rules.

Catch and release flyfishing in the river is available to our guests for an additional $175 per angler daily charge. No guide is required, but you will need to have a Colorado fishing license, bring your own flyfishing gear, check in at the office for a river orientation, and sign a waiver.

Relaxing Bailey Retreat

Close to restaurants and fun in Bailey and Wellington Lake, but such a private feel. Great hot tub on deck overlooking the woods and river. Perfect place to enjoy some luxury but with the charm of a cabin in the woods.

Lovely house by the river near great hiking

The River House was roomy (for seven adults), comfortable, and very clean. Host was super responsive. The hot tub on the elevated porch in view of the river was fabulous. Bailey is fun. We walked to the Sasquatch Museum and the brewery. We enjoyed excellent hiking nearby especially through the Guanella Pass.

River House is truly relaxing!

House was well stocked with everything you would need from plenty of dish washer soap to bath soap to laundry soap to garbage bags and ziplocks. Very roomy living area for all 6 of us with two high spirited boys. We enjoyed the hot tub each day and enjoyed sitting on the deck by the river for morning coffee, picnic lunches and afternoon wine. The only suggestion I would have is more coffee cups were needed. We had a great time at this house and the hosts were there to help us when we needed it.

Family Getaway in Bailey, CO

We ended our first family trip to Colorado in Bailey and could not be happier with The River House! The house is beautiful and the setting so quiet and peaceful with the sound of the river all the background noise you need! Sherri and John are wonderful hosts and very responsive when needed. My family agrees we would return to The River House in a heartbeat! ❤️

Relaxing house right on the river

What a beautiful property, right next to the river. The sound of the water is so relaxing. There is a large hot tub on a deck right above the river. There are 4 bedrooms, plus a single mattress in the sunroom off of one of the upstairs bedrooms. There were 6 of us, and we all had plenty of space, plus the ladies for a wedding were able to use it for makeup and hair. Plenty of room. Some of the doors need oiled, but that is just minor stuff.

Best vacation rental ever!!

This place is absolutely gorgeous! No words do this property justice. There's places to explore, the views are absolutely breath taking, the home is spacious and clean. None of wanted to leave. Even the teenagers were begging to stay. We started discussing another stay here less than an hour of being here. For a decade we have been taking mini vacations to areas near red rocks (for concerts) and this one has been the best hands down.

Serene retreat

Nestled among the mountains is this hidden gem. The pictures do not do this property justice absolutely beautiful. Throughout the house are gorgeous stain glass windows. The master bedroom and bath is enormous and extra bedroom opens onto patio with large hi tub. Upstairs are 3 separate bedrooms each with unique features. What really sets this apart from others is the river running alongside the property. This house will not disappoint anyone staying here and strongly recommend.

Perfection

Spacious, We had six adults and the property could have accommodated another whole family. Sherri I don't know if you are an interior designer but your choices of furnishings and finishes was impeccable. Comfortable beds and super clean. Thoroughly enjoyed inside, and outside sitting by the river watching the resident stellar jays and squirrel. Would definitely stay here again.

Great 80th Birthday Celebration

The property was everything it said it would be and more! We had people from all over the country and everyone was in awe of the house and its surroundings. The setting is breathtaking and creates a stress free atmosphere. It would be beautiful any time of year! The river right outside is so tranquil, yet great for fishing. I would recommend this property to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Sheri

Host profile image
We are a Canadian and a Californian transplanted to the Colorado mountains. We live in Bailey and love the natural beauty and the small town feel of the area.

We frequently rent homes when we travel with our family. We love the experience and the opportunity to have a home-like gathering place rather than a hotel room. Our favorite places are those that are thoughtfully appointed, private, and well-kept. We hope to provide that and more to you in one of the most beautiful places in the world, the Colorado Rockies.

Why they chose this property

When we saw this property, with its quaint home and irreplaceable riverside location, we quickly fell in love. We have spent a year on the remodel and are now ready to share it with friends and family. Whether hiking a fourteener (Mt. Bierstadt is 20 minutes away), mountain biking (top of Buffalo Creek is 20 minutes away), fishing (on the property or elsewhere of your choosing), checking out the fall colors on Kenosha Pass (20 minutes), or just lolling in the hot tub or hiking the property or adjoining National Forest, we would love to have you come visit our sanctuary.

What makes this property unique

Cross the wooden bridge into your own private 33 acre mountain escape. You are welcome to hike the property, hang out at the river, stargaze from the hot tub, or curl up by the fire and read a book. We are close to town (1 minute to Bailey, 45 minutes to Denver), but a world away.
