About the host

Hosted by Taylor Clark

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 living just across the Valley. We have been in Durango since 98' and enjoy skiing, rafting, kayaking, biking and all the mountains have to offer. We are a fireman and nurse serving our local community. We purchased this house in 2008 and lived in it for 10 years. The house was originally a ski lodge located in Vallecito by the lake. The home was won in a card game and moved to the location it sits now in 1988. It was narrowly missed by Missionary Ridge Fire in 2002. You can see the burn scar as you drive through the valley.

Why they chose this property

This home is close to town but has the amazing views of the Animas Valley. It's only 15 minutes to Purgatory and close to PJs gourmet market and the Durango Hot Springs and Spa. Enjoy the separate game room, basketball court and yard games in the well watered lawn.
