About this house rental

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. 

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King (Upstairs) w/bath
2nd Master - King (Main Level) w/bath
3rd Bedroom - Double (Upstairs)
4th Bedroom - Double (Bottom Level)
5th Bedroom - Double (Bottom Level)
6th Bedroom - 2 Twins (Upstairs Level)

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..

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.

Cancellation Policy: A non-refundable payment of $300 is required at the time of booking. This $300 payment is applied toward the total amount due and is only refundable within 72 hours of the time of the booking is made. If your arrival date is within 30 days of booking, payment in full is required at the time of booking. Cancellations or changes to stay dates, including changes that result in a shortened stay, are not permitted within 30 days of arrival, and any such changes will result in a penalty.

For reservations that are at least thirty (30) nights, the cancellation policy above increases to sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date. We do offer travel insurance.

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.

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!

The cabin is located on a beautiful property with close proximity to Durango. The decks are lovely and the table and chairs provided are nice. Unfortunately this property has been neglected and is in dire need of attention. Many of the mattresses, pillows, bedding and overall amenities need to be changed. Some of the mattresses sink to the middle in a v shape, the pillows are extremely old, the bedding is uncomfortable, mismatched and feels dirty. The kitchen is overstocked, disorganized and cluttered. There is not one area you can put your items except the countertops. The area rugs and furniture pillows are torn, frayed and need to be replaced. The blinds need attention or replaced . The old, non functioning hot tub needs to be repaired or removed. Before renting this place I would read the reviews. After getting there it was very clear they were accurate and I wish I would have paid more attention. It saddens me to leave this review as this cabin has infinite possibilities but it really needs updating and cleaning for the rate they are charging.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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 :)

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.
