About this house rental

This private, cozy cottage is nestled on a 19 acre parcel in the East Animas Valley, just a couple of miles north of the Durango city limits. You will enter the property through an electronic gate and continue on a 500 foot private road towards the Red Hermosa Cliffs. Beyond the cliffs is nothing but picturesque forest service land for hundreds of miles. On the property there is a private, covered tennis court for your personal use and high speed internet!

This secluded property, only 2 miles from Durango, is in a beautiful river valley abundant with tall Ponderosa Pines and enormous oaks. At 6500 feet in elevation there are great views of the La Plata Mountains with a perfect combination of warm winter days and cool summer nights. Plus you are only a 25 minute drive to the Durango Mountain Ski Resort.

This home is beautifully furnished with antiques and art. The main floor has vaulted ceilings and large windows to show off mother nature's beauty. The master bedroom and bath are on the first floor, and a second bedroom (lofted, open concept) with private bath is on the second floor. The granite countertop kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs, or you can barbeque on the west covered porch with the gas grill.

After a long day exploring this wonderful area, enjoy dinner on the large southern deck with a fully gated porch. Only 30 minutes away, visit the astonishing cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde.

The property is excellent and well maintained. Overall it was a good experience. Some points of feedback would be that it would be nice to have some condiments available (not a deal breaker) and the TV is a little slow. It would be nice to have a portable fan for airflow in general. Otherwise it was a great location and was a great stay.

Great property, perfect place to relax at the end of the day. Host was also very quick to respond to questions. Definitely a place that we would book again.

We couldn't have been happier. The place was immaculate when we arrived. It was so cozy and perfect for two people. The location was perfect - access was easy to downtown Durango and the train station. Lana came by to meet us and ask if we needed anything.Only thing - the description indicated that it was a 15-minute walk to the Animas River. We couldn't find any access to take that walk. Other than that - excellent. We can't wait to go back next year.
