The moment we walked into the cabin, we felt we had gone back 150 years! This is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. It is rustic with all the modern conveniences. The wildlife is amazing! Unfortunately, our dog was not as impressed as we were and she tended to scare off all the critters! Overall, a lovely experience!
We loved staying at this cabin. Communication with the hosts was easy and they were very responsive. While itâs a rustic log cabin, the cabin is equipped with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The beds were super comfy. Strong WiFi connection. Lots of space for our family of 4 our dog. We loved being able to hike around the cabin and lots of other trails close by. We had daily visits by mule deer, chipmunks and lots of birds. Itâs located outside of Durango but just a quick 10-15 minute drive into town and 30 minutes to Purgatory. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Durango.
We had an unforgettable family Christmas gathering in this warm rustic cabin in Durango. The lodge decor created the perfect winter retreat atmosphere. The cabin was perfectly equipped for our needs, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy each other's company. We played games both indoor and outdoor. This was the perfect setting for making holiday memories together. We loved being able to sit by fire. We couldnât have asked for a better place to gather together!
Property was exactly as described, yet even better in person. Location, surroundings, decor, ambiance, good vibes..you name it. PERFECT. The little scale house/cabin was PERFECT for the kiddos too. Thanks Laura!
I was very impressed with how gracious the host was. She went above and beyond.
Words cannot describe how great this place is. You have to see it to believe it. Would book this place again. I wish we could have stayed a month just in the house.
Thank you so much for letting us into your home
My gamily spent the Christmas holiday here and it was beautiful. We had a fabulous time and the prooerty was oerfect for us.
The owners were very responsive to us and we amazing to communicate with.
Great property and good location close to mountain bike trails, hiking trails, and rock climbing. Really enjoyed the stay and would certainly book this property again.
Great place, rustic and cozy. Great quit location, but still close to town. Kitchen is fully equipped, so ideal if you are with family or enjoy cooking with your friends. Host is great, welcoming and very organized. We Loved it!
This cabin is a dream come true.
The cabin is private and quiet, yet close to town where you can anything you need.
The cabin is beautiful, has been decorated by what must be a professional because it is gorgeous! The furniture is not some plastic junk from discount stores. This house is full of top grain leather and top of the Line furniture.
This is not a house, but a home. You will feel it the minute you walk in. Hostess is the best and is quick to get back to you.
Stay hereâŠ.i promise youâll feel right at home.
Property was awesome for our group and 3 dogs. Convenient to town, mountain biking, hiking and just about everything else you would want to do in Durango.
Owner was awesome and super helpful. Recommend this highly for the perfect Durango vacation.
Well cared for cabin that met all our needs! Fantastic and responsive host. Great proximity to hiking, downtown Durango, skiing, hot springs, and the community center for a wet/snowy/rainy day. Weâll be back!
Our family of five had a great week! Close to town, yet you feel you are away from it all. Our three kiddos enjoyed the tire swing and exploring around the cabin, as well as family game nights on the deck! Clean and accurate to the descriptionâŠ..host was a wonderful communicator!
We are a family with our permanent home in St. Louis and had been skiing at Durango Mountain Resort (AKA Purgatory). We fell in love with the Durango area and people in the town. We had searched many areas in the west for our vacation property: Colorado, Montana, New Mexico and California. Durango was the right fit with many outdoor activities all year round. Rafting the Animas River, hiking the Colorado Trail and hundreds of others, fishing in the San Juan river and many lakes, touring Silverton, Telluride, Pagosa Springs, and the Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings is wonderful. The local restaurants are some of the best in the U. S. with a wide variety of international flavors and the best French bakery anywhere. There are many ski resorts within a 1.5-2 hour drive. Purgatory is only 30 minutes.
Genuine historic log cabin with huge rock fireplace on 13 acres and National Forest all around is what attracted us to this particular property. It was a rehab project, that we spent 2 years working on. There are new hardwood floors, renovated kitchen, lovely bathrooms, lots of log furniture, antlers, deer hides/heads, leather, and some Ute Indian/tribal influences in the decor.
Views are AMAZING!......the Animas Mountain in front of the home and mountainous National Forest in the back. Turtle Lake is just across and down the road. Turtle Lake Valley is one of the most beautiful in La Plata County. Enjoy the large decks, sunroom, side porch and landscaped yard. Hiking trails are out the back door! Our private trails connect with the Log Chute Trail System and the Colorado Trail. The Pioneer Trail out our backdoor is steep and one must be physically fit and acclimate to the altitude before attempting. The Durango Boulder Garden borders our property, as well as the National Forest. If you are planning a wedding, reunion, or special event, it is a perfect spot, with open areas, woods, mountains, decks, and a large cross in the rock garden. Our neighbor to the east is a photographer and neighbor across the road is an event planner to help you plan the perfect ceremony. EVENT SITE FEES APPLY!! (Minimum is $200 for 2 hours; Maximum is $1000 for 10 hours. Limit of 30 persons.)
