About this property

Rural Retreat Tiny Home Beautiful Colorado Views! Dog friendly.

This 700 sq ft one-bedroom, full-bath tiny home on a private ranch offers a peaceful retreat in a rural setting. Enjoy stunning views of the Colorado mountains while sipping your morning coffee, watching ducks and birds on a nearby pond, and observing livestock grazing in the fields.

We are located in the rural town of Bayfield, just 30 minutes from Durango and its airport. Nearby attractions include Purgatory Ski Area (1 hour), Wolf Creek Ski Area (1 hour 20 minutes), Mesa Verde National Park (1.5 hours), Canyons of the Ancients (1 hour 20 minutes), Aztec Ruins National Monument (45 minutes), and Vallecito Lake (25 minutes). It’s a perfect getaway, close to the hustle and bustle of town.

This cabin is located 200 feet from the main residence, so you may hear daily activities including dog barking/play during your stay. It's in a rural area, and despite our cleaning efforts, you might encounter insects or wildlife. Please keep all windows and doors closed to prevent entry, as no prevention method is foolproof.

We are a dog friendly property; however, dogs are not to be left unattended during your stay and off all furniture. We have a one pet maximum, with a $25 pet fee per stay. The property is not fenced. PLEASE DISCLOSE YOUR PET AT BOOKING!

Cell service is good.
No Washer/Dryer service.

Quiet & comfy cabin

The hosts made our stay great! Quiet and beautiful scenery of the mountains. It was a great home base after sightseeing around the area. We enjoyed waking up to the llamas, sheep, cows and of course the deer. I would highly recommend this comfy cabin.

Perfection

This property was such a perfect antidote to our stressful jobs. The rural location was just far enough away from the tourist vibe, but also centrally located so we COULD do the tourist thing. There is very little light pollution, and the stars were magnificent! The hosts have thought about all the little touches that make this a comfortable and cozy get away.

Tiny Home retreat near Bayfield CO

Property was spotless. Such quiet and solitude…exactly what we were looking for. Tastefully furnished…felt like home. Llamas were fun to watch. Views of La Platas to the North expansive and wonderful. Mattress was very nice. So much better than any hotel. Thanks Veronica

20th Wedding Anniversary

Granted our stay was short and we were out and about. However, we were very happy with the peace and solitude of a rural cabin. We slept so well in the comfy bed and happy to have our coffee already made each morning. Cabin/tiny home is cute as a button.

Rural cabin plus sunsets.

Very clean, well maintained and equipped "cabin" in a beautiful rural area a few miles from Bayfield, CO. Not that far from Durango with its fabulous train. Very quiet. Perfect for a couple. Great views of gorgeous sunsets. Enjoyed my stay while visiting my son-in-law, daughter and grand kids.

Peaceful Retreat

This cute tiny home with amazing views of the valley and mountains was perfect for the first part of our Colorado trip. Convenient location for day trips to New Mexico and the Durango area. Easy drive to Durango to ride the Durango-Silverton train. It was nice to come back home to peace and quiet and the mountain views after a busy day of sightseeing. The sunsets were beautiful during our stay! Veronica and her husband were great hosts and easy to communicate with. There was a book with restaurants and things to do in the area with host favorites marked. We tried the local Pine Cone restaurant that is a host favorite and it did not disappoint! The home has everything you need for a comfortable stay. When we come back to the Durango area we will stay here again.

Anniversary Get Away

What a hidden gem. This was the perfect little get away spot. It was so quiet and the sounds of the elk buggling as they went through the valley was impressive. Likewise for the stars at night! The views all around were great! Everything you need is available in this quaint little cabin. The bed is very comfortable and the hosts are the best! Thank you for having us, we hope to be back in the future.

Quiet with a view

This 1 bedroom stay was equiped with plenty of windows and views to provide access to birding, deer watching and the mountain views of the San Juan's across pastures with cattle and farms. We were gone to visit church family during the day but could acess the cabin easily from Buck Hwy and County Roads off of State Hwy 160. There is a great full kitchen and bathroom. The bed is firm with a wonderful quilt. There plenty of places to eat at downtown Bayfield.

Highly Recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this adorable tiny house. We visited Durango and Mesa Verde National Park while there, and really enjoyed staying out in the "wide open spaces" rather than in a hotel in town. Very peaceful and quiet location. We enjoyed watching the llamas, sheep, and cattle from the front porch. The kitchen was fully furnished and the king-size bed was very comfortable. We hope to return one day!
