About this property
Luxury Log home on 40 Acres - Awesome Views and Decks - 7 Min to Durango
Note: 4WD/AWD is required in winter between December and late March.
There is a hot tub on the patio but it is NOT OPERATIONAL.
Mountain paradise at 7,000 feet of elevation. This is the quintessential mountain log home providing roomy comfort for many guests with six bedrooms, five baths, multiple decks and patios plus expansive views of surrounding woods and mountains just 7 minutes to Historic downtown Durango.
This home makes a splendid gathering place for families with two master suites, four additional bedrooms, a spacious, open living/dining/kitchen floor plan, den with pool table and media room, loft with additional TV spot, plus multiple patios and a huge main deck.
There is also a 7th sleeping space with a queen bed off the main living space that has a room divider screen vs a proper door (it is not advertised as a bedroom but certainly can be used as such).
The home itself is perched on a hilltop vantage point overlooking a large mountain meadow valley that is teaming with wildlife throughout all seasons. It is common to see elk, deer, wild turkey, fox, many varieties of birds including hawks and eagles, and even the occasional black bear from the comfort of many outdoor and indoor vantage points.
Consistent with most Colorado mountain resorts, the home does not offer air-conditioning. Most homes are equipped with either a ceiling fan, box fan and at least one opening window to assist with climate control..
Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s. Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).
Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

Amazing place with great proximity to town and trails. Very comfortable sleeping spaces and lots of space inside and out to spend time together. Cant wait to come back to this place!
Was here for a wedding and was able to get the whole family and kiddos in one place. Felt like a really relaxing and enjoyable weekend with views of the trees all around us. Played games and explored the town and train rides to Silverton! Highly recommend and we will be back!
Beautiful home for a large family to make lasting memories.
The two days of heavy snow just added to the beauty of this place.
Layout perfect to give kids room to play.
This is a fabulous house for a group of friends or family. Stunning views and beautiful deck to enjoy them from. The house has great space for a large group to gather and plenty of bedrooms for everyone to spread out into. Can’t imagine a better place to stay in Durango!!
This property is in a great location, easy access to Durango yet far enough away not to hear street noise nor ambient light to detract from star gazing.
The kitchen set-up lends itself to an open inviting family time preparing meals. Bedrooms are of good size and well appointed.
Overall our family had a really nice stay and would stay again if the opportunity presented itself.
Our group spent every morning and evening on this gorgeous deck to take in the amazing views and stargaze. There was plenty of room for all of us and we truly enjoyed the property. The management was very attentive to an issue we had and fixed it immediately.
The house was great. The views are amazing and serene. It was very rustic with the oversized beams and antler sheds (antlers that young deer loose). The only issue we had was trying to figure out the dated stereo system the internet is starlink with help tremendously. We would come back for sure.
This is a beautiful home and property just a short drive out of Durango, Colorado. The home is large and easily accommodated our group of 10. The property is beautiful, we saw wildlife most mornings including deer, coyotes, and wild turkey. With two kitchens and lots of bathrooms and open space, this is a great place for a group to enjoy the Durango area. The property description mentions snow and 4 wheel drive access which is likely the case in the winter months, but we had no problems driving up the dirt driveway with normal rental cars in early May. We enjoyed staying in this home :)

This large home off US160 in Durango was beautiful and spacious enough for our 11 family members to spread out and relax. The property has lots of trees and beautiful mountain views and is a convenient distance from town. Property manager was very responsive to our needs. We enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed the house although the late afternoons and early evenings were quite warm not having AC. I also would suggest they cut off the shower curtain because the rod is so low you end up standing on the curtain when you shower. There were two dead rats outside on the patio in a bucket trap. That was unpleasant. But all in all it was a good place for me and my family to reconnect and make good memories. Thanks!

Property was in a perfect location for visiting Durango, Silverton, and Mesa Verde. There was lots of room for large groups, it conveniently accommodated our group of 12. The extra bed next to the dining area worked nicely as a seventh bedroom. Nice views in all directions drone the cabin. The property is in a major need of refresh. The mattresses in all the bedrooms, except both MBRs, were soft and need to be replaced. The cushions in all the chairs were soft and need to be replaced. You need to bring a lighter to light the grill, which had no BBQ utinsels. The pool table needs the felt and cushions replaced.

The home was spacious and comfortable with plenty of room for the whole family. Great location with easy accessibility to Durango and other sites. The property was vast with several trails to explore. The kitchen was nice but somewhat disorganized and no pantry space. The week we there in early June was unusually hot. Despite closing the blinds and using all available fans the temperature on main and upper floors in the afternoon and evening was uncomfortable. Several wood blinds were broken or not functional. The washer and dryer was quite small for the size of the place. The dryer made a loud rattling noise and it took 2-3 cycles to get clothes partially dry. Better to hand clothes outside to dry. Management staff was kind and responsive. Beautiful place and scenery from the deck. Would be a plus to be able to use the hot tub.

Home was perfect for a large group. Great locale and all the outside decking made for nice mornings & evenings for breakfast and cocktails. The faucet handle in the Shower in one bedroom on 2nd level came off but otherwise, a very nice stay.
Had a great time here. House was clean and had plenty of room. They aren't kidding about needing 4/AWD to get up the hill, it's steep but definitely manageable with 4/AWD. Bout 10 minutes outside of downtown but beautiful open space away from any other houses
This is a secluded Hugh 3 story log cabin house with great views 5 miles west of Durango. Family enjoyed house and location. Inside is spectacular and well equipped. There are very large decks on ground and first floor. Access to house includes a 1/3 mile steep rough wash board gravel shelf road. Saw lots of animals - deer, turkey. Only negatives were no A/C made 2/3 floors very uncomfortable in afternoon/evenings due to 90 degree weather, very odd and inconvenient only freezer in ground floor laundry room, did not supply hand or dish soap, no ice maker - bring bags, no check out instructions provided and owner did not respond to question.
Upon arrival very beautiful house. Through out The Weeknd noticed small things that needs to be upgraded. Surround system was a little difficult to figure out. Overall house was great. Everyone enjoyed the stay.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was large enough to give the adults some separation from the teenagers, allowing plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. The decor is a little dated and in need of some refreshing, but the home is in great condition and very comfortable. The snow removal service was prompt and frequent enough that we never felt stuck, and we couldn't have asked for a more picturesque location.

this large log home was a ideal setting for getting together with my kids and grandkid. We all loved the ambience of the home and the wide open surrounding space. The house was fully equipped and clean. The only down side was the ninety degree outside temperature and no AC. The lower level could use some work, otherwise the interior of the house was
This was the perfect property for a group of 12 women on a girls trip. Plenty of space and bathrooms which is what a big group of girls look for. There was every amenity available and it was just perfect. The only tiny thing that was hard is that there was not a freezer in the two fridges in the two kitchens. We had things that needed a freezer when we arrived and had to go to a store to get ice and a small cooler only to find a freezer after the fact down in the basement in the laundry room. But truly was not a huge issue or a deal breaker. We loved this location and highly recommend it.
