Private Cabin on the Conejos River, Pet Friendly, Sleeps 5 Unwind and enjoy your vacation the way it was meant to be. For over 150 years the Conejos River has been the fisherman’s choice in Southern Colorado. Nestled in the South San Juan Wilderness of the Rio Grande National Forest, the Homestead Cabin on the Conejos offers your family a great vacation experience.The Homestead Cabin is one of the original guest cabins on the 14 acre Conejos Ranch located along the Conejos River with approximately 1 mile of private river frontage. The rustic 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin has a full size, well-appointed kitchen and a cozy wood stove. Under new ownership since 2016, the cabin has received new flooring, furniture, and many other upgrades for your comfort. The master bedroom has a luxurious pillow top queen bed and the second bedroom has a pillow top full size bed and twin size bunk beds. The cabin will sleep 5 comfortably. The kitchen is fully stocked with Caphalon cookware, blender, coffee maker, electric tea kettle, a full spice cabinet, and plenty of extras.

The season generally runs from May through October – with July, August and September being prime months for dry-fly. Licenses are requires and may be obtained at the Fox Creek Store or Conejos River Anglers.If hunting is your preference, the Homestead Cabin on the Conejos makes a great base camp. While hunting is not allowed on the property, hunt for deer, elk, bear, and antelope all within a short 30 minute drive. Artists and photographers, mountain bikers, hikers and backpackers can find over 180 miles of trails in the wild and rugged San Juan Mountains of Colorado that stretch from southwestern Colorado into northern New Mexico. Here the San Juan Mountains remain yet untouched by man and where the wanderer can find solitude from the crowded avenues of the city. The best backpacking in the state is here, some would argue. In the autumn, the area is popular with hunting parties looking for trophy elk. But outside of the autumn hunting season, solitude can be more readily found here for the soul who is willing to seek it out.If trains are your passion, the historic narrow gauge Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad is just down the road in Antonito, Colorado.

About the AreaThe South San Juan area is special for its rugged scenery, large expanses of forest, and high altitude trails that offer a sense of remoteness difficult to find elsewhere. High ridges, pinnacles and deep canyons, carved by the headwaters of the San Juan, Conejos, and Blancos rivers characterize the geography of the wilderness. Pristine spruce, fir and ponderosa forest make the South San Juan wilderness a sanctuary for deer, elk, bear, and other wildlife that thrives unmolested by human activity. It comes as no surprise then that it was in this place that the last Colorado grizzly was shot in 1979. Biologists speculate that if any Colorado grizzlies remain, it would be in this remote wilderness.Nearby Attractions: Guided fishing at Conejos River Anglers (you won't be disappointed) and guided horseback rides and overnights with Conejos Canyon Outfitters are currently available.Antonito, Co (15 miles) Cumbres and Toltec Scenic RailroadThe oldest church in Colorado - Our Lady of Guadeloupe Parish Church dedicated in 1863 is located just north of AntonitoAlamosa, CO (42 miles) Zapata Falls – Hikers wade through chilly waters and maneuver over slippery rocks to Zapata’s hidden falls a short ½ mile from the parking lot.
