About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Mountain retreat, epic views, hot tub, decks, game room. A/C, Non-smoking.

This exceptional open-concept mountain retreat is designed for up to 8 adults in the main house, offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3 fireplaces, expansive decks, and unforgettable valley and cliff views.

The main home is limited to 8 adults and 1 small child to preserve the comfort and quality of the stay.

For larger groups, an optional guest house is available for $179/night ($220 on holidays) and includes:
- queen sleeper sofa
- 2 twin beds
- full bath
- its own air conditioning

With the guest house added, the property accommodates up to 12 guests total, with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across both spaces.

This is a non-smoking, non-vaping, and no-pet property inside or anywhere on the grounds. To protect the quality of the home for all guests, please do not book if anyone in your group smokes or vapes.

Step inside and enjoy the warmth, comfort, and elevated feel of a true executive mountain home. With 3 fireplaces, air conditioning, a hot tub, a newly remodeled kitchen (2024), and panoramic views, the home offers the atmosphere of a luxury private retreat rather than a typical rental.

Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the Animas Valley and surrounding red cliffs. Just 5 minutes from city centre Durango, you can easily enjoy restaurants, shopping, the trolley, local events, and quick access to hiking, skiing, fly fishing, and Jeep adventures.

In the evenings, unwind on the expansive decks, relax in the hot tub, and take in the sweeping mountain backdrop. One of the most memorable moments is hearing the historic Durango steam train in the distance, moving through the valley below.

The primary suite features its own private deck and gas fireplace and couch, while the second primary bedroom on the main level offers another fireplace, patio, and private entrance—ideal for couples or multi-generational groups wanting extra privacy within the home.

Guests especially love the:
- vaulted ceilings
- wire-brushed knotty pine doors
- hardwood floors
- surround sound system
- heated 2-car garage for winter stays
- high-efficiency washing machine + 2 dryers
- beautifully updated furnishings throughout

For entertainment, the game area includes:
- foosball
- air hockey
- ping pong
- poker tabletop
- additional family games

Our 42 acres mountainside setting behind the home connects to Federal land and dramatic elevation changes, making it especially appealing for adventurous guests who enjoy hiking, nature, and nearby rock-climbing access.

Recent upgrades include:
- new main-house living room furniture
- air conditioning in main house + guest house
- fully remodeled kitchen completed November 2024

This is one of Durango’s rare stays that combines luxury comfort, panoramic views, flexible guest capacity, and close-to-town convenience—making it ideal for family holidays, couples travelling together, executive retreats, ski weekends, and elevated mountain getaways.

Fantastic house in a great location to explore Durango and surrounding areas! Perfect for our family of 4 with a grandparent along for the fun!

This house was set up to handle a big group and we loved it. The kitchen is huge and opens into the living room. The multiple levels gave a sense of privacy to everyone. The back deck with views of the mountains was the best spot. There is plenty of room to park and the drive to town is just a few minutes. I appreciate the communication with the owner and the level of cleanliness. We had a fantastic stay.

Dennis was a great communicator. We had a little trouble with the 1 dryer,but there was another one to use. We visited during an unusual hot weather and a few air conditioners had a hard time keeping up. We did have fans to use. Nice place for all 12 of us with the guesthouse. Grandkids loved it!

Our family of seven had a perfect week in Durango. Dennis is a very attentive host. Every question I asked was answered promptly. The pillows and beds are comfortable, and there is space enough for everyone inside and out. The view from the deck is spectacular when the sun hits the mountains. We take a family vacation every year, we all voted this kitchen is the best. Thanks Dennis!

Great property, especially for family gatherings. Perfect location on the north side of Durango. Lots of room, a big open sitting area, and a deck overlooking the lower Animas river valley. When you are finished driving to Telluride, Ouray, Canyon of the Ancients, or taking the Silverton train, it’s a welcoming place to come home to. The San Juan mountains and national forest are a special place in southwestern Colorado. Durango is a unique small town, off the I70 tourist trail, good restaurants, and a nice central district. You have to want to go there, not just end up there. We very much enjoyed our return visit after 25 years.

3 generations under one roof is always exciting but this house made it better. Everyone had their own space. Plenty of bathrooms so no one was waiting. Great kitchen and dining room table for family meals. Porch and views gave us plenty of options for photos. We didn’t use the hot tub because we had toddlers but it is well positioned to watch the horizon. Check in was great. Host texted instructions with pictures. The street is private and quiet. Will definitely use this house again in Durango
