This modern 650 sq ft apartment is perfectly located in the stunning West Animas Valley, just 10 minutes from downtown Durango and 20 minutes from Purgatory Resort. Designed for both relaxation and adventure, The Nest offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to some of Durango’s best summer activities.
Spend your days mountain biking nearby trails or riding at Purgatory Bike Park, rafting or paddleboarding on the Animas River, hiking through the San Juans, or exploring local shops, restaurants, and breweries in town. Everything is close, but you’ll still come home to a quiet, tucked-away setting.
Inside, you’ll find a cozy contemporary space featuring a gas fireplace, a plush down sofa, a fully equipped kitchen, and an in-unit washer/dryer — everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bedroom includes a dreamy king-size bed with soft linens for a restful night after a full day outside.
Step out onto your private deck to enjoy morning coffee, evening cocktails, or grilling with mountain views. Whether you're planning a summer adventure trip, a ski getaway, or a quiet reset, The Nest makes an easy home base for year-round Durango stays.
Dogs are welcome with prior approval. Gas fireplace is available in the winter months.
