About this property

Unplugged dog-friendly getaway with tree-lined views

Escape to the peace and quiet of the San Juan Mountains at Cabin Tranquilo, a cozy, dog-friendly retreat surrounded by trees and nature. Located about 16 miles from Durango, this secluded cabin offers the chance to slow down, enjoy the scenery, and spend quality time together away from the distractions of everyday life. During the winter months, a 4x4 vehicle is recommended for accessing the property.

The open main living area features vaulted ceilings and warm wood accents, creating a comfortable space to gather and unwind. Curl up with a book beside the wood stove, put on a favorite record from the vinyl collection, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting. With no WiFi or TV, Cabin Tranquilo makes it easy to step away from screens and reconnect with the people you're traveling with.

The fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances and everything you need to prepare meals at home. The breakfast bar provides a casual place to gather while dinner is being prepared, and the dishwasher makes cleanup easy. When the weather is right, take your meal outside and enjoy dinner on the deck surrounded by the trees.

The cabin offers one bedroom, a loft, and one bathroom, comfortably sleeping up to four guests. The main-level bedroom features a queen-size bed, while the upstairs loft provides an additional queen-size bed. A private washer and dryer are also available for added convenience during your stay.

Step outside onto the deck to enjoy the peaceful forest setting and mountain views. Bring your small dog along to experience the retreat with you, with a maximum pet weight of 60 pounds. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee, watching the sun set through the trees, or relaxing with a local brew, the outdoor space offers an ideal place to slow down and take in your surroundings.

When you're ready to explore, trails throughout the San Juan National Forest are nearby, while the Animas River offers opportunities for fly fishing and kayaking. Head into Durango for local dining, seasonal brews, and an evening at Steamworks Brewing Company, or make the trip to Purgatory Resort for a day on the slopes during ski season.

Cabin Tranquilo is a true escape for guests looking to unplug, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of Southwest Colorado. Leave the screens behind, breathe in the mountain air, and settle into a slower pace surrounded by the forest.

First time visit

This property is clean and relaxing. We spent most of the days hiking and enjoying the San Juan Mountains. We would return to the cabin in the evening and relax on the back deck. The stereo system with records and cassettes was a nice touch. We will definitely stay here again.

Cozy cabin stay

This cabin was so cute and cozy, the vinyl collection was so fun to go through and listen to. Even though it was a little chilly inside there was plenty of blankets and firewood to help warm the place up.

It was a chance for us to unwind and relax without really relying on TV, but I mean this would probably help sales, but this was an example of what I love in a home!

cozy picturesque cabin

Place was clean. Quiet. sitting on the deck and watching shooting stars was a highlight. Little coffee shop( meadow market) on the way into Durango gets a star! I would highly recommend this cabin.

A true get-a-way

The home is wonderfully warm and cozy with little bits of sentiment throughout. The quiet street, large deck and hammock, and music collection were truly a joy and something you may not know you need but what a unique way to create space for people to enjoy the mountains. The lack of service and internet was refreshing- the kids didn’t mind at all with the trail to put around on and a most friendly neighbor dog “Jupiter” to throw sticks to!

Cabin was sweet with a beautiful view from the deck. The beds were to firm. Had to take turns of the couch. The cleaning fee is expensive! Cobwebs were everywhere, creepy ! For 160.00 there should not be any.

Great remote getaway spot

My husband and his buddy were the guests. They said it was a beautiful mountain setting and the cabin was very nice. Truly met their expectations of a mountain getaway spot and the cabin met the description. Cell phone reception was spotty at best but that helped with unplugging for a few days. Vacasa management was very responsive to questions. Would recommend this cabin to others looking for a beautiful spot to retreat.

Relaxing

We loved our stay at Cabin Tranquilo. The view off the deck is gorgeous!! The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was quiet and peaceful. We played a mean game of monopoly! What we enjoyed the most was the uninterrupted time we spent with each other on our 25th wedding anniversary trip. No distractions. Highly recommend

Thank you for taking the time to write your honest review, Terry. We're sorry for the misunderstanding about your words "spides gree". If you're referring to the spiders, we're sorry for that. This is common in the area, but we hope that it's not inside the home. However, we'll reach out to our local staff to check on it to make it more comfortable. Also, we know that you're aware that there's no TV or internet at home. We hope to consider it in the future. We look forward to hosting you again soon!

Cute Cabin Getaway

The cabin and location itself are stunning, could have been a little cleaner as we saw some dust bunnies and dead spiders about. Some of the dishes were not clean and had food residue. The wood stove and record player were a great way to spend our evenings. The cabin is situated on a steep hill but with no snow our AWD Subaru Legacy was able to go up and down it just fine. The area itself was quiet and remote- about 25 minutes from Durango proper. I recommend planning ahead for meals as the grocery stores in town charge an arm and a leg, not to mention the restaurants. All in all my husband, dog, and I enjoyed our much needed getaway.

Great Views. FILTHY.

Pros: Privacy, great views, and the outdoor space is exceptional. That’s where this ends. Cons: one word can describe this place. FILTHY. This place is covered in cob webs. On the ceiling fans. On the overhangs holding the pots and pans. When you first walk into the property you are greeted with the smell of mildew from the washer and dryer. The blinds fell off the front door as soon as we opened it. The blind sun the whole property are extremely old. In the main bedroom downstairs they replaced what seems like a broken pull cord of a blind with a rusty screw, which we almost cut our hand on. They have a guest book and it shows others months prior have complained about cleanliness and they’ve done nothing to address it. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. Old furniture, uncomfortable pillows. I could go on. Very disappointed and won’t be back.

Hi, Spencer, thank you for your review, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback.
