About this property

Secluded And Peaceful River View Retreat

A River Runs By It! This lovely property is located directly on the upper river bank, offering gorgeous views and the gentle sounds of the Pine River. A pretty hiking trail climbs gently to an outlook for views of Vallecito Lake and the mountains. Boating, bike riding, hiking and barbequing from the deck are just a few of the wonderful activities that can be enjoyed from your private paradise in the pines. If you enjoy fishing, some of the best fly fishing in southern Colorado is just a 5-10 walk from your front door to your own private fishing spot on the Pine river. You are only minutes away from Vallecito Lake and the town of Durango has some of the best river rafting and mountain biking in Colorado. Durango is only a thirty minute drive along a beautiful, winding country road, where you are bound to see elk and deer on the rolling hillsides.

This newly built guest quarters was designed for your comfort, convenience, and for the best views! The upper deck is directly off the main floor for relaxing and grilling. With all this available from your quarters; views, flowing water, hiking and hills, you may never need to get in your car! But if you do, in addition to all that Vallecito Lake and Durango offers, your retreat borders the Weminuche Wilderness, the largest in the state of Colorado. Here, you can enjoy beautiful hikes in the forest.

If you want more… Pagosa Springs is a magnificent and scenic sixty mile drive where you can soak in sulfur hot springs.
* Due to the quiet and serene nature of this property please no Harley Davidsons or guns.

Apartment in the woods
Nice above-garage apartment in a forest near a river and reservoir. If you're looking for peace and quiet in a remote area, this is the place. Host was very friendly and communicative when we had an issue with the hot water. The reservoir has a very "Northeastern US lake" vibe. Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our weeklong stay here.

Mixed Review
Property was great, but not recommended if you want the full experience of a vacation. Online Details and in person policy booklet is a bit off. Owners can be questionable. You can make that decision.

Peace and Quiet in the Woods
We had a wonderful two weeks at this lovely mountain/woodsy retreat. The apartment is spacious and so very homey. We love to cook, so the kitchen amenities were fantastic. The bed was comfortable, and that’s saying a lot since we normally sleep in a king. Going to sleep every night to the sound of the river and a cool fresh breeze was no less than amazing. The owner lives next door. She was very friendly, but not intrusive at all. If you are looking for a place away from the crowd, I would highly recommend it. Thanks for letting us stay!

Peaceful Mountain Getaway
If beautiful mountains, immaculate lodging and peaceful surroundings are what you are looking for, this is the place to stay. We enjoyed walks down by the river and relaxing on the balcony enjoying all the sights & sounds of nature and wildlife. The fully stocked kitchen & gas grill were perfect for preparing meals. The location is the perfect center point for several day trips in the area. We went to Telluride, Ouray, Silverton & Durango during our stay. The million dollar highway is a must see!! Chris & Marissa are great hosts who make sure you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Zoll

Host profile image
I have lived in two of the nicest places in the world! born in Hawaii moving to Durango when I was 15. I have travelled the world but Durango is still at the top of my list. I am an outdoor enthusiast (always a mountain bike on the back of my car).

Why they chose this property

I chose this property on the river bank, and built my home and the guest quarters for best views, and it turned out to be better than I could have imagined!

What makes this property unique

This unique 3 acre property is at the end of a private road. It's such a wonderful spot that sometimes the best way to spend the day is on the deck, in the hammock with a good book, listening to the sounds of the river.

Plus, the owner offers guided mountain biking trips for those interested in exploring some of the best trails in Colorado!
