About this property

The Cottage at River Stone Ranch is the perfect romantic getaway for two. It is part of a scenic five-acre property that includes the historic River Stone Ranch House, Carriage House and Barn. (See VRBO property listing number 696565 for the Ranch House.) The property, located in the heart of the beautiful Animas River Valley on what was once a hay farm, is on one of the most popular scenic bicycle routes in the Durango area and is conveniently located 20 minutes north of Durango and 20 minutes south of Purgatory Ski Resort. The charming one bed, one bath cottage is renovated in modern farmhouse style and is filled with light and beautifully furnished. The open concept kitchen and living area boast beautiful views to the pond and the babbling brook which meanders by the patio most of the year. The kitchen is fully stocked and the cozy living room is outfitted with a flat screen television. (Please note that the fireplace depicted in the photos is decorative only.) The bedroom has a queen-size bed dressed in luxurious linens, a large flat screen television tucked away in the bureau and an office nook overlooking beautiful views of the pond and brook. A large dressing and laundry area are located downstairs. Property owners and managers are on site to greet you upon arrival and are a stone's throw away to ensure an unforgettable stay.

River Stone Cottage

This cottage is perfect for a couple and well appointed with everyone we needed. Todd was so nice and helpful with anything we asked. The setting and location are dreamy and very private even with neighbors nearby. We would definitely come back to visit!

My wife’s dream cottage

Just absolutely excellent! Cute as a bug and just what we needed to escape from Austin heat. Dondi and Todd are the perfect host……the attention you need but not too much. We will definitely be back next year for a little longer stay!

Better than imagined!

My wife and I spent a week at the cottage at river stone ranch. The accommodations and the location were truly amazing! The interior was so tastefully done and all the high end extra touches were really appreciated! We are already making plans to bring our 3 sons and their wives along with our three grandkids to River Stone Ranch. Having the option of getting both the ranch house and the cottage on that beautiful property will make that doable. My wife and I have been renting homes for many years and our hosts were truly the best we have ever experienced. A huge thank you to Dondi and Todd!!
