About this property

Orion's View Brings Family and Friends Together - Making Memories...

Built by respected log home builder - Larry Barnes - this wonderful Colorado custom log home enjoys peace and tranquility with majestic La Plata Mountain Views inside and out. Driving up to the house with its Silverton Eureka Rock driveway easily accommodates multiple cars and convenient in-and-out access. This great Colorado log home is located minutes to shopping/restaurants in Historic Downtown Durango as well as 3 major ski areas. Walk up the slate-tiled steps to the covered porch and enter this lovely home through the double glass doors. The home immediately opens to a huge western facing bay of windows in the living/dining room perfectly positioned to take in the grand mountain views. Located to the left of the entryway is the kitchen equipped with granite tile countertops, slate tile floors and stainless steel appliances. Birch cabinets and drawers filled with everything you will need to make your vacation feel like home. A breakfast bar for 3-4 people is made from a large piece of dimension lumber which further enriches the log home feel. A spiral staircase leads up to the loft area which looks out over the living/dining area and enjoys the same massive bay windows as the living room. This room has a queen futon. The living/dining room's high vaulted ceiling is complimented by solid log cross beams. A two-sided wood burning fireplace with river rock surround offers the romantic ambiance of an evening fire to both the living room and the master suite. An elk antler chandelier overhanging the dining area adds a touch of Colorado flair. The master suite has its own patio access and a master bathroom that will surely satisfy. An oversized Jacuzzi bathtub sits in the corner of the master bedroom supported by a travertine surround. Relax in a warm jet bath! The bathroom also has a walk-in shower with travertine tile and dual sinks with stylish oval vanity mirrors. Don't forget about the dual-sided fireplace to keep you warm on those colder evenings!

For convenience, a laundry room with washer & dryer is suitably located adjacent to the master suite and the living room. La Plata Mountain views will be enjoyed from this spacious concrete patio while relaxing in a lounge chair enjoying a glass of wine. This area will produce many memorable barbeques with friends and family. Overhead lighting is fixed into the exterior eaves and provides a nice lighting element for the evening time. Privately located on the other side of the home, the 2nd master suite with a full walk-thru bathroom and individual access to the patio. This 2nd suite offers a full bathtub and shower complimented by a glass block wall at the far end of the tub. This home comfortably sleeps 6. There is a 1-car garage at the top of the driveway to park a small vehicle, ATV or any other entertainment equipment (arrangements made with owner with prior approval for use). This home is located on 5 acres with beautiful mountain views and breathtaking sunsets! CO Sales Tax ID #26868580-0000

Best place in Durango
This was our 7 stay here, 2nd this year so obviously we absolutely love Orion’s View!! The house is so comfortable, the vies are incredible and the location is perfect! Outside of town but not too far so it’s an easy, quick drive to Durango. Lastly, Renee is incredible! Needless to say, we’ll definitely be back next year. 😁

Wonderful log cabin home outside of Durango!
We had a great time with our family in Durango! Many thanks to Renee for being such a wonderful hostess! She was very attentive to our family and incredibly fast in responding to any of our communications! Her home is beautiful! It was perfect for us traveling with our family including one infant. We would have worried if we were traveling with our oldest grandson (he would have gotten into all the decorative items in the house if he was with us). It's a perfect home for family traveling with older children or infants! We will definitely look to stay here on future trips to Durango!

False advertising
Lovely, clean home and very nice host, BUT! False advertising. They show views of entire San Juan Mountain Range; they topped one small pine tree and the ‘view’ is tiny. They live in the house and actually put towels out on both bathroom rods with a “Please do not use” sign. All windows in both bedrooms have signs next to them saying there might be trouble and that a person might have to go outside to close them. The one car garage has a jeep in it (in description it’s there for your use) and an old car sits in the driveway at the garage. Pantry fully loaded, no room - must put shades on all those beautiful windows in summer most of the day as sun shines on them and deck. VERY disappointed - have rented a LOT and never run into this.
