Where the Buffalo Roam. Private mountain views w/hot tub

Ready to get away from it all? Relax in this private little paradise. Minutes from La Plata County airport, you will be miles from stress. Sit out on the deck and take in the views or watch the sunset from the hot tub. Perhaps you're ready to go outside and play. In 30 minutes or less you can find numerous hiking/ biking trails, lakes, rivers and scenic downtown Durango. Or travel an hour to ski for the day!

Colorado getaway

We stayed at this Vrbo as it was close but not too close to Durango. We loved the seclusion and beautiful views, especially being able to sit outside at night and see so many stars. The property was the perfect size for the two of us! Very cute and cozy!

Delightful

We loved being out in the middle of nowhere. There was everything we needed, plus more. I would not advise renting this property if you are not driving an SUV, the road was rough in spots.⁹

Rustic Hideaway

We enjoyed our stay at Where the Buffalo Roam. Such a quaint, but comfortable little cabin. The views were absolutely breathtaking! The outdoor space is just perfect for taking them in. The only negative were the mosquitos and gnats. Make sure you have bug spray! The bugs made being outdoors very difficult, even with the citronella candles lit. Overall, it's definitely worth the price!

Great Get Away, but had an unexpected visitor

Had a really nice stay, it was very nice, clean, and the hot tub was a very cool perk! The only issue we had was that we were not informed that the neighbor was coming to water the flowers/plants. That scared us as well as her when I came out to ask them what she was doing here. Alittle heads up would of been nice, other than that isolated incident it was a great stay and we would stay there again!

This cabin is remote, yet close to the airport and to Durango. Very quiet and beautiful views of the mountains. Counter space was limited and and a bit of a challenge if preparing multiple meal items at the same time. Hot tub was a wonderful experience. Lots of evidence of wildlife tracks in the snow surrounding the cabin. Plenty of room for 2 people. Décor was tasteful yet not overwhelming. Cabinets well stocked with ingredients and tableware. Very clean place. Temps got as low as 4 degrees during our stay and we were very comfortable. If you enjoy privacy, this is the place. Highly recommend.

6/10 Okay

This is a cute little cabin with a nice hot tub but renter beware.... the drive to it is on a few miles of rough dirt roads and then when you get to the driveway it's a steep hill with twists and turns on even worse dirt! A truck with a trailer is difficult to get up this hill. We rented it during the Four Corners Rally and trailered our motorcycle but couldn't take our motorcycle off the trailer because it was too rough to ride it out of there. Huge disappointment!

Beautiful & Private retreat

We were in the area to celebrate my grandpa's life in South Fork & wanted to make a weekend out of it due to the travel time. We loved the exclusivity and views (especially from the hot tub!) and the many options to cook on. We enjoyed the front porch for more hours than we were inside but the inside furniture is comfy leather & the bed is on the harder side (which is great for me) so if you prefer softer bring a cover or use the large duvet they have as your base. :) If we ever find ourselves in the area again we will certainly book again! P.S. We are super experienced on and off-road drivers so we made the drive in our Kia Rio - I don't recommend this during the rainy or snowy season, we would certainly have brought the jeep if it was then but wanted to get away with the gas mileage in the commuter.
