This cozy cottage is just minutes from downtown Durango as well as two miles from Lake Nighthorse which is a lovely large recreational lake. The well appointed layout of this newly remodel space has a large downstairs bedroom, a gabled upstairs area that can accommodate an extra guest or can be used as an office. The kitchen opens up into a spacious dining area as well as a living room with a large screen TV and a sleeper sofa, that sleeps 2. The full bath includes a full bath and show, and a combination washer/dryer unit, prefect for small loads, while traveling. If you are looking to sit outside and enjoy the sunset dipping behind the mountains you have your own private side patio, if it is chilly out the sun room is a great place to relax. Enjoy all Durango has to offer with hiking, paddle boarding, mountain biking and whitewater all within 10 minutes of this great setting. This is a classic mother-in-law space that shares a wall with the main house.

This is our third stay at this property, and it was lovely as usual! We really appreciate how clean it is, and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. The new side patio is a lovely place to sit in the morning with your coffee or at night with a drink. One small suggestion would be to provide suitcase racks for guests to store their luggage. Overall, we would definitely recommend this VRBO!
The property is very clean and the location is quiet and peaceful. This is our second stay at this location and we would definitely recommend staying here.
Just as advertised--cozy and perfect for a couple or small family. Well-appointed place, we really enjoyed our stay here in the the lovely, quiet setting outside of Durango.
We loved staying in such a beautiful place that was close to Durango yet private and peaceful. We loved it and would absolutely stay there again as I would love to live there!
