Luxury Log home on 40 Acres - Awesome Views and Decks - 7 Min to Durango
Note: 4WD/AWD is required in winter between December and late March.
There is a hot tub on the patio but it is NOT OPERATIONAL.
Mountain paradise at 7,000 feet of elevation. This is the quintessential mountain log home providing roomy comfort for many guests with six bedrooms, five baths, multiple decks and patios plus expansive views of surrounding woods and mountains just 7 minutes to Historic downtown Durango.
This home makes a splendid gathering place for families with two master suites, four additional bedrooms, a spacious, open living/dining/kitchen floor plan, den with pool table and media room, loft with additional TV spot, plus multiple patios and a huge main deck.
There is also a 7th sleeping space with a queen bed off the main living space that has a room divider screen vs a proper door (it is not advertised as a bedroom but certainly can be used as such).
The home itself is perched on a hilltop vantage point overlooking a large mountain meadow valley that is teaming with wildlife throughout all seasons. It is common to see elk, deer, wild turkey, fox, many varieties of birds including hawks and eagles, and even the occasional black bear from the comfort of many outdoor and indoor vantage points.
Consistent with most Colorado mountain resorts, the home does not offer air-conditioning. Most homes are equipped with either a ceiling fan, box fan and at least one opening window to assist with climate control..
Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s. Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).
Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

This place was just outstanding in every regard. Our entire family came- my wife and I and our 4 young adult children, one spouse and one girlfriend of my oldest son. We had a wide array of people and likes, etc and everyone LOVED it. Yall communicated well, we had zero problems, the views, the animals outside the house, the access to town, the layout of the place, the game room downstairs. It was fabulous!!

Home was perfect for a large group. Great locale and all the outside decking made for nice mornings & evenings for breakfast and cocktails. The faucet handle in the Shower in one bedroom on 2nd level came off but otherwise, a very nice stay.
Beautiful home for a large family to make lasting memories.
The two days of heavy snow just added to the beauty of this place.
Layout perfect to give kids room to play.

Had a great time here. House was clean and had plenty of room. They aren't kidding about needing 4/AWD to get up the hill, it's steep but definitely manageable with 4/AWD. Bout 10 minutes outside of downtown but beautiful open space away from any other houses
This is a secluded Hugh 3 story log cabin house with great views 5 miles west of Durango. Family enjoyed house and location. Inside is spectacular and well equipped. There are very large decks on ground and first floor. Access to house includes a 1/3 mile steep rough wash board gravel shelf road. Saw lots of animals - deer, turkey. Only negatives were no A/C made 2/3 floors very uncomfortable in afternoon/evenings due to 90 degree weather, very odd and inconvenient only freezer in ground floor laundry room, did not supply hand or dish soap, no ice maker - bring bags, no check out instructions provided and owner did not respond to question.

Thank you for staying with us, and for completing a review!
We were happy to host you and your group. We are so glad to hear that you had an amazing stay, and found the property spectacular and well equipped.
The home is not advertised as having A/C, as that is not a common amenity in the area because it's not typically needed 10 months out of the year.
The main subzero fridge does not have a freezer, or ice machine, attached to it, so owners provided the larger freezer in the laundry room for guests to have access to a freezer.
Departure Instructions are automatically emailed to guests, the day before their booked checkout date. Sorry if you did not see those instructions. We did not receive any communications from you, but would have been happy to assist with any questions or needed assistance.
We look forward to having you stay with Vacation Rental Collective again in the future!
This property is in a great location, easy access to Durango yet far enough away not to hear street noise nor ambient light to detract from star gazing.
The kitchen set-up lends itself to an open inviting family time preparing meals. Bedrooms are of good size and well appointed.
Overall our family had a really nice stay and would stay again if the opportunity presented itself.
Our group spent every morning and evening on this gorgeous deck to take in the amazing views and stargaze. There was plenty of room for all of us and we truly enjoyed the property. The management was very attentive to an issue we had and fixed it immediately.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was large enough to give the adults some separation from the teenagers, allowing plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. The decor is a little dated and in need of some refreshing, but the home is in great condition and very comfortable. The snow removal service was prompt and frequent enough that we never felt stuck, and we couldn't have asked for a more picturesque location.
The house was great. The views are amazing and serene. It was very rustic with the oversized beams and antler sheds (antlers that young deer loose). The only issue we had was trying to figure out the dated stereo system the internet is starlink with help tremendously. We would come back for sure.

This is a beautiful home and property just a short drive out of Durango, Colorado. The home is large and easily accommodated our group of 10. The property is beautiful, we saw wildlife most mornings including deer, coyotes, and wild turkey. With two kitchens and lots of bathrooms and open space, this is a great place for a group to enjoy the Durango area. The property description mentions snow and 4 wheel drive access which is likely the case in the winter months, but we had no problems driving up the dirt driveway with normal rental cars in early May. We enjoyed staying in this home :)

this large log home was a ideal setting for getting together with my kids and grandkid. We all loved the ambience of the home and the wide open surrounding space. The house was fully equipped and clean. The only down side was the ninety degree outside temperature and no AC. The lower level could use some work, otherwise the interior of the house was

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It was such a pleasure to host you and your family! We're glad to hear you enjoyed this home :) Many properties in the area don't have air conditioning and we do recommend opening windows at night to let the cool night air in and making sure to close them during the day to keep the temperature. It seems some of your review was cut off, but other than that, it was a delight to host you and we hope you stay with VRC for your next visit to the area!
We enjoyed the house although the late afternoons and early evenings were quite warm not having AC. I also would suggest they cut off the shower curtain because the rod is so low you end up standing on the curtain when you shower. There were two dead rats outside on the patio in a bucket trap. That was unpleasant. But all in all it was a good place for me and my family to reconnect and make good memories. Thanks!

Thank you for your review! I'm glad to hear that you and your family were able to reconnect and make good memories during your stay. I apologize for the discomfort you experienced with the warm temperatures and the shower curtain. We will certainly look into adjusting the shower curtain and consider additional cooling options for the late afternoons. As you may know, AC is an uncommon amenity at our elevation. I'm also sorry about the dead pest control efforts you encountered on the patio; we'll ensure that our pest control measures are more discreet in the future.
Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we'll use it to improve the experience for future guests. Thanks again for staying with us!
This was the perfect property for a group of 12 women on a girls trip. Plenty of space and bathrooms which is what a big group of girls look for. There was every amenity available and it was just perfect. The only tiny thing that was hard is that there was not a freezer in the two fridges in the two kitchens. We had things that needed a freezer when we arrived and had to go to a store to get ice and a small cooler only to find a freezer after the fact down in the basement in the laundry room. But truly was not a huge issue or a deal breaker. We loved this location and highly recommend it.
