Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We like the rural feel of the Animas Valley and the closeness to town. The views of the red cliffs, the glider park and the Durango Silverton Train.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The Durango Silverton Train chug's up and down the valley every day, it is easily visible from the front deck and the children love watching it go by. The glider park is also across the valley and the glider planes often perform aerobatic maneuvers over this area of the valley as they prepare to land. This is a very private location with lots of parking. Early morning sun, and afternoon shade. A large back yard, irrigation ditch, fruit trees, and great views of the red cliffs, the train, and the glider park.
Val Air is a Sail Plane facility offering scenic tours of the Durango area from a non motorized aircraft.
Beautiful Home in the Animas Valley Sleeps up to 15 in the 5 bedroom 3 bath home. Excellent views of Red Cliffs, Glider Park, and The Durango Silverton Train. Five minutes to Town, great private loca

Family Wedding Event

Our son and daughter-in-law held their wedding in Durango this past summer. I rented this property in order to provide lodging for ourselves and some of the out of state family. It was a perfect location and provided enough outdoor space for us to host a pre-wedding\rehearsal dinner for our out of town guests. We did the food preparations there and the kitchen was perfect! Forrest was excellent to work with and made sure the hot tub was functioning for us. The house could use some cosmetic work, general repair and paint. But, all in all, it served our purpose. I would recommend this property for anyone who would like to enjoy the Durango area in a somewhat rural setting. The downtown area is beautiful but congested with tourist activities. This property allows you to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was great fun to watch the train and the glider planes in the distance. Thanks Forrest!

Thank you Forrest and Shona! We had the pleasure of being the inaugral guests in the Fassbinder house. Excellent job on the remodel. We were a family of five and stayed for an extended amount of time. The location was great and close to everything. We frequently walked down to the river trail to walk our dogs. Owners were very attentive to our needs. Having lived in Durango for most of my life, I would highly recommend this house for families based on its location, comfortability and layout. Thanks Forrest and Shona!

This house has been wonderful! The Four Courners Rally was great fun, and the house was great for all of us from out of state. Plenty of parking, privacy and great views. The kitchen / living areas were so comfortable for our large group.

We visited Dec 27th-Jan 1st. We loved this place there was plenty of room and privacy. The owner, Forest is very helpful and friendlly. Need a large skillet and a griddle, other than that one of best stocked kitchens that we have had. The veiws were great. We never ran out of hot water and we were a large group. The skiing in Purgartory is good also. Shop at City Market and be sure to get the discount card for groceries. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

We used this home for our family reunion. I gave each of my children (and their children) a bedroom and still had extra space. This home had all the resources that we were looking for, and the area has something for all of us to do. The kichen was well equiped (we did most of our own cooking).
