Welcome to the Ritz on the River! This authentically designed two-story log cabin was designed in Chicago and erected at 500 N. Henson Street, just four blocks from the center of Lake City and easily within walking distance from the coffee shops, restaurants, bakery, sporting good stores, and shopping district. Elegantly furnishised with all of the amenities of home, this 3200 SF log cabin offers pristine views of the river and surrounding mountain ranges. The adjacent footbridge provides access to miles of walking and biking trails. Or just fish off the banks along the back yard. It's all right there. A well-equipped playground for family enjoyment is in the favorite city park nearby. This unique home is exquisite in every respect. The Ritz on the River is directly next door to the Mountain Memories Cabin, another property, which can be leased at the same time to house larger groups, sharing the expansive riverfront property with fire pit and gazebo.
 
On the first floor, large windows in the family seating areas provide a scenic view of the spacious backyard, pristine mountain peaks, and the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River. Access to the river allows for enjoyment of frequent fly-casting. The back deck, furnished with comfortable chairs, encourages relaxation and enjoyment of the mountainous views. In addtion, small or large groups can enjoy grilling outside on the back porch or roasting food around the fire pit near the river. The back yard entices frequent visitations by friendly, curious deer and local wildlife (don't feed the bears!). A dinner "catch" is within one hundred feet of the house. The downstairs master suite is furnished with a striking king-sized bed, luxury linens, and matching dresser accented with a flat-screen television.
