This thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath single-level home offers a harmonious blend of rustic craftsmanship and modern comfort, all set against the backdrop of the stunning San Juan Mountains.
Step inside to an open-concept living area where warm natural textures meet simple elegance. A country-style kitchen invites you to gather, cook, and create memories, while the cozy living space opens to a covered front porch—perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing.

Summary: Family of four on vacation. The cabin was comfortable and well maintained. Was in a rural neighborhood but not too close to anyone. The property was peaceful, lot's of birds and critters to watch. The nights were quiet and dark (which was nice coming from a Texas suburb)! It was a great place to come back to and relax after our many activities. About 20/25 minutes to Durango. Would stay again, for certain. It did get a little warm inside during the day, Maybe low to mid 80s; but that's because were were staying at probably the hottest part of the year. Owner had a swamp cooler and fans inside that helped. We opened the windows at night which was great because the temps got down to the low 60s/high 50s. The mornings were beautiful and cool. I might suggest bring drinking water as the tap water there is fairly soft and slightly sulfuric. This made all the difference when brewing coffee. A week or so before we asked to tack an extra day on the front of our stay because. We immediately got a response that it could be done. This place was just what my family was looking for! Thanks!
