Perfect Private Cabin Outside Durango
This was a lovely home base for a weekend in and around Durango. The hosts are extremely friendly and inviting, though you very much have your own space. Great views and a great time! We look forward to returning.

Lovely get away. Awesome view, let me repeat that, awesome view! We hiked every day because that’s what we love to do. Close enough to town to eat out. The owner can give you lots of info on the area. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Perfect location with a wonderful view!
We were looking for a great place to stay in Durango and did we find it. The location was within minutes of town and also had the view you come to Colorado for. The owners treated us like family and made sure our stay was comfortable. If your looking for quick access to town, a view, wildlife, and a cozy location then look no further!

Mountain Top
Awesome place to stay when visiting the San Juans! Bill made us feel at home the moment we arrived. Everything was clean and comfortable. Close enough to town but far enough away to be quiet. The views from the top of the mountain are amazing. Will definitely be booking here again when we come back to Durango!

Amazing location and views, quiet and peaceful
Really enjoyed our stay. Only negative for me was we spent too much time running all over Durango and almost no time on the property. This place almost begs for you to slow down, stay a bit, read a book, etc. The solitude and stunning views are worth taking an extra day or two to relax and simply enjoy. Everything about the stay was perfect.

Beautiful and serene setting
This property exceeded our expectations! The hosts were welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very clean and beds we're comfortable! WiFi, TV and all you need to enjoy an in-house movie was great! But the scenery topped it all. We loved all the seating options outside for our night time viewing of the stars:-) Thank you Bill and Bonnie for being wonderful hosts!!!
