Located just a short 10-minute drive north of the historic town of Durango, nestled in a serene community, sits a delightful home with a tranquil creek-side setting and stunning mountain views, bordering the San Juan National Forest. The residence offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Animas River Valley, featuring a bright and spacious great room adorned with high vaulted ceilings, cozy seating, and expansive windows providing breathtaking views of the backyard. Its prime location allows for easy access to the plethora of outdoor activities that southwestern Colorado has to offer. The great room is designed for entertaining and relaxation, accommodating gatherings of all sizes, complete with TV, a DVD player, and a Wii for entertainment. For added flexibility, there is a futon available for additional sleeping options. The dining area is capable of seating 8-10 people and provides a lovely view of the picturesque garden. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with all the amenities one might need. Adjacent to the great room is a private home office area, furnished with a desk for those who need to attend to work matters during their stay. The home also provides an array of games, puzzles, books, and children's toys to keep younger guests entertained. The private master suite boasts a luxurious king-sized bed, a spacious ensuite bathroom with a double vanity, and is equipped with a flat-screen TV and DVD player. The two additional bedrooms include a peaceful room with a queen-sized bed and a cheerful children's room featuring a bunk bed and a cozy twin bed. Outside, the patio seating area for 8 people, which includes a comfortable dining area and Adirondack chairs, is the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the view. Follow the garden paths and wooden bridges over the little waterways that lead to the San Juan National Forest or simply relax, grill, and dine on the expansive back deck, which offers a splendid vantage point to admire the seasonal flower garden, catch sight of the local wildlife, and revel in the awe-inspiring mountain scenery.

My family and my sister's family like to get away to the mountains every summer. This year we went to Durango and it didn't disappoint. The house was perfect to have some down time but also a great spot to do dinner in Durango or a day playing at Purgatory. We are already talking about going back next summer!

What this house lacks in modern updates, it more than makes up for with its gorgeous backyard, trails literally out the door, and friendly neighbor dogs! I would definitely come back and stay here again with my family. The check in process was super easy, and the property manager, Kevin, checked in with us a few times.

We have been going to Purgatory for Christmas with the kids for seven years. This year my parents were coming in from New York and we needed a larger place. What a great stay! There was a tree up and decorated and lights outside, plenty of room for Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and two teens. The pups loved the space and the yard to play in. Every detail from the tree to the chocolates on the pillows and even dog bowls made this stay one of the best Christmas’s we have had yet. We will definitely keep this one on our favorites from now on!

This house is so awesome and the back yard is incredible. The back yard is so beautiful and relaxing. We have young children and with supervision the backyard was great for them to play around. The house is exactly as it looks, and equipped with everything you need. It was very clean and comfy. The bathrooms even have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! I was a little worried that it didn’t have AC, but honestly it cools down enough in the evening that we didn’t even need it. We definitely will stay here again, we didn’t even want to leave!! Thank you for a great place!

The home was exactly as advertised and more. Clean, comfortable, well stocked with supplies, cookware and dinnerware and perfect for a family vacation. The location was awesome, close enough to Durango but far enough away to feel some seclusion. The back yard was awesome and the view was fantastic. The only negative of the entire stay was the neighbor dog showing up at the back door everyday and roaming the backyard. One additional comment, all of the outdoor potted plants were brought inside to protect from the cold and caused issues with allergies with some of our family members. We found the home to be very comfortable and enjoyable for our family Christmas gathering.
