About this property

Mountain Top Cabin with Spectacular Views

Our cabin on the mountain features spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains. Adjacent to the National Forest, we are located approximately 18 minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort and 15 minutes from downtown Durango. Boasting 2 bedrooms and a loft area, there is plenty of room to spread out in our rustic cabin. Our bathroom features a jacuzzi style tub and separate shower. The dining area and front porch are the perfect spots to sit and take in the breathtaking views. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to cook a fabulous meal. There are books and games available for your entertainment. Perfect home for a family vacation or as a romantic getaway.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT ITEMS:

-We recently installed Starlink. It’s worked fine this far but it is not 100%. It may not work during severe weather, software issues, major network outages. For these reasons, we will not list it as an amenity and will not provide refunds if Starlink does not work. We are hoping to make this a true mountain experience. We hope you will get out and enjoy all Durango and the surrounding areas have to offer. There is also, cell service if needed.

-In the winter (November through April), it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you have a four-wheel drive (4X4) or an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle and winter/snow tires are also recommended. Although the roads and driveway are well maintained we recommend the above for easy access to the property.

-Kindly contact me in advance of booking with pets. There will be an additional $25 cleaning fee required. I'm sorry but there are no cats allowed. Dogs must be kenneled if kept inside the home alone.

-If you need a larger/smaller home, please send me a message on here and I can direct you to the other properties we own that might work better for your family.

I can answer any questions you have on things to do and see while staying at our rustic cabin in the mountains.

***Please contact me in advance of booking with pets. There will be an additional $25 pet fee required per dog. I'm sorry but there are no cats allowed. Dogs must be kenneled if kept inside the home alone.

***DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER IN OUR TOILETS. We have a sensitive septic system. Do not flush any wipes (baby wipes, flushable wipes etc) nor any feminine products in our toilets. Doing so will wreak havoc on our septic system and cause you to incur a $500 fine.

***All towles are to remain on site. They are not to be brought to the hot springs or on a hike or used to clean with. If the towels are stained, there will be an additional $25 charge for bath towels, $10 for hand towels, $5 for wash cloths.

***ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES ALLOWED. Your reservation will be cancelled and you will be forced to leave immediately if this rule is not abided by.

***No smoking of any kind is allowed inside the home. Doing so will cause you to incur a $100 fine.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Excellent stay with gorgeous views of the mountain

We stayed a week with our family and this was the perfect location. The cabin has views from high in the mountains of Durango and is a short distance from town. There is a porch swing and a deck that faces the mountains, the views are spectacular. Also not too far to travel to Purgatory, Silverton or Telluride for the day. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The host was easy to communicate with and very kind. We would definitely recommend and will be staying again in the future!

Perfect for our trip!

This cabin is an amazing place to stay. We planned a last minute ski trip this spring and somehow the cabin was available when we were booking last minute. The views from the deck outside are incredible overlooking the valley and surrounding mountains. The cabin itself was more than we could have asked for and gave us a great place to continue enjoying our trip while we were off of the mountain. We would absolutely stay here again!

The listing for this property undersells it!

My family and I stayed here for 4 days and we were pleasantly surprised it was even better than described and shown. It had an expansive deck with beautiful views and furniture to sit on that wasn't in the listing. We actually bought camp chairs because we weren't sure if they would have anywhere to sit. They also had an amazing porch swing that wasn't described, that was fabulous! The only cons were that the kitchen equipment was too basic and not practical to actually cook meals. The dishes, coffee pot, silverware etc. were pretty low end. Some things are outdated but the logs are beautiful and cozy. Definitely wished there was air though! It was REALLY HOT! Also, the drive up is no joke, especially if you arent from the mountains. Owner was great and we could even bring our dog! I would stay here again for sure. They also have a vintage Pac Man game that was fun to play. Very close to town as well and you can even see the iconic Silverton/Durango train!

2 night stopover on our family Colorado adventure

Our family is spending 10 days exploring some of the highlights Colorado has to offer. We stayed in Hermosa for two nights. Went white water rafting and took the Durango to Silverton train. Highly recommend both of those adventures. The cabin’s view was way undersold in my opinion. As soon as we parked in the driveway, we were awestruck!!! Breathtaking views and peaceful. The beds were the comfiest we’ve slept on so far on our adventure. We woke up refreshed every morning. My only suggestions would be to have an information binder about the area. We’ve come to enjoy looking through these in all the years of traveling and renting cabins. And also-the beds were amazing but the pillows left a lot to be desired. Just had to double up and we were fine. Would definitely recommend this cabin to everyone and we hope to return someday!

Great Winter Getaway!

This is such a great rental! Cabin is cozy with stunning woodwork, large front porch with swing that overlooks the whole valley, great gas fire place, gas grill and stove nice new comfortable bedding and a jet tub and shower! Had a fun time watching the snow at night making the lights from town below come in and out of view even the large Durango town Christmas tree! In cabin Christmas tree and Ms Pacman arcade game were a great touch! Only 5 min from Durango hot springs and had deer turkeys pheasant and fox come through the yard! Will love to come back in the warmer months and hang out on the large lower patio over looking the valley as well!

Beautiful location

This cabin is in a beautiful location about 12-15 minutes North of Durango. The cabin is simple, tidy and beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay. There is a deck with an expansive view outside the home that we really enjoyed eating at. As an FYI, this cabin (like many homes in the area) does not have A/C. This is normal in Colorado (so nothing wrong with it), but you may consider this if you are traveling in the middle of summer and desire A/C or are especially heat sensitive.
