This is NOT a rental but our lived-in year-round home on back edge of a subdivision w/beautiful views of LaPlata mountains. The house is nestled in tall pines with 35 private acres to roam. You can see other houses across the gully but plenty of privacy.

The lodge is just 10 mins. west from downtown Durango off Rte. 160, 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.

Appliances are old but functioning. 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 trails leading to back woods. 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.
