About this property

FAMILY REUNIONS in Beautiful Mountain Lodge!

Big Savings over hotels!! Come relax in our mountain lodge home available when we are OOT. This is NOT a rental but our lived-in year-round home on back edge of a subdivision w/beautiful views of LaPlata mountains nestled in tall pines with 35 private acres to roam. The lodge is just 10 mins. west from downtown Durango, 35mins. from Mesa Verde National Park, 40 mins. from 'Purgatory' ski area. The main and upper floors are available for rental with private entrance from the deck. The house has charming vintage lodge atmosphere with artwork from around the world, family photos. Artfully decorated in mostly Southwestern decor. Living room focal points are a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a log sofa with water buffalo hide cushions. The dining room has an heirloom French Provincial dining set. Master bedroom/bath is on the main floor with kitchen, dining room, and living room; two big bedrooms upstairs with full bath and walk-in closets. Total beds: 2 Queens, 1 King, 1 Bunk so it sleeps up to 8 with extra floor mats available for kids. There is wall-to-wall carpeting throughout the house, dishwasher, W/D, TV/DVD, plentiful bed, bath linens & kitchenware. Also BBQ grill and picnic set on the deck.
Relax on the deck to view the stars, the surrounding hills and La Plata peaks. Take an after dinner walk down the hill to a sweet little meadow and easy trails. For more vigorous adventures hike the miles of mountain trails in national forest lands, go for a horse ride at one of the stables, raft or fish the Animas River, ski Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory), take the Narrow Gauge Railway to Silverton or stroll down Main St. with its art galleries, clothing stores and various ethnic restaurants. Whether you take it slow or ride 'em cowboy there's always something to delight you in Durango.

About the host

Hosted by Florence Gaia

Host profile image
I'm a enthusiastic transplant from MA. Born and raised in Rutherford, NJ just across from "the City", spent 30 yrs in MA happily living in Lexington and Plum Island, Newburyport in a beach house but the wild beauty of the Rocky Mtns of Colorado always called to me and I finally found my dream home here in Durango. Went to college @ Seton Hall University and Boston College. I'm happy to share my home when I'm OOT vwith guests who appreciate and love the mountains as I do.

What makes this property unique

This is the perfect lodge for family reunions (sleeps 8) or quiet couple/family vacations. You have the beauty of the LaPlata mountains, whispering breezes through ponderosa pines, birds singing, an occasional deer or coyote wandering through the yard. Yet only 10 mins. from downtown Durango allowing an easy trip for groceries, restaurants, movies, fishing or shopping.
