Mineshaft, Creek front, Hot Tub, Close to Town, Ski Area 20 miles

The Durango Mine Shaft, a humble vacation rental in the Animas Valley in Durango, is nestled among some of the largest pines in the Animas Valley and bordered by a seasonal creek which can be viewed from the two decks or from the comfort of the hot tub. This home offers a true Southwest Colorado experience. Indoors, light a fire and make your gourmet meal in the kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. Days filled with activities will have you sleeping well in this home, which sleeps 10. WI FI and cable tv mean you don't lose touch with the world, unless you choose to! For booking information, and information about additional activities available, contact Scott at number listed below.

This home is a 1970's A frame style cabin that has an eclectic Colorado Outdoor Lover's decor. It is set back off the road, on a 2 acre property with an 8 ft privacy fence in the front dividing the shared driveway with another home. There are tons of hiking trails within a short drive. It is located a half mile from Trimble Hot Springs & Spa and 10 minutes to Durango City Limits.

This home is best suited for folks who want to gather together in an open floor plan, enjoy the serenity of the tall trees, play outside during the day in Durango's ENORMOUS backyard, and live the good life in the moment. This is our cabin in the woods that is close to town. It does not boast elegant finishing touches, suburban curb appeal, or the shine of a new home. But it has upgrades where we think it counts, is comfortable and unique. We hope you will enjoy it too!

Durango's Premier Sailing Adventure Company, Peaks and Tides, offers sailing charters for morning and sunset cruises, lessons, team building stay and sail packages and more with exclusive offers for Mineshaft guests.

Cabin in the woods with a river running through it!
It was amazing, hiking trails, secluded and a very open cabin plan to include everyone.

The property was slightly outdated. There is a bit of a walk to property from parking. This was a chore hauling in and out luggage and kids things. Not much room for little kids to play outside and one area was covered with dog poop. Otherwise worked fine for what we needed.

Cabin by the crrek.
Loved our stay. Beutiful scenery. It was a bit difficult for my 91 year old dad to get into the house; just for anyone with disabilities, a bit of a uphill path and 10 stairs up.

Family Vacation
We had an excellent time at the Mineshaft! The kids enjoyed the stream in front of the house, they loved hiking up the mountain behind the house, we all enjoyed the hot tub, and there was plenty of patio space for all 12 of us to hang out on. It isn’t too far from Durango (7 min.) or Purgatory (15 min.). If you are looking for a luxurious vacation home, this isn’t it. It is rustic and has character. It was perfect for our family. It’s not very roomy inside, but we spent most of our time outside and doing various adventures around the area. I will say, if you have bad knees, or if you are going with older people who don’t get around very easy, this probably isn’t a good place for you to stay. It is a short uphill hike to the house, and you have to walk up a pretty steep staircase to get in to the house. That’s not really a complaint, just a warning for those who need to consider something like that on their vacation.

Lacking a little
Overall the house was ok. Seems like the pics were a doctored up version of what we found on arrival. A/C was ineffective. The house was hot, deck and outdoor furniture could use some attention.
