About this property

Florida River Valley farm living only 5 miles to downtown

Enjoy the best of both worlds! Tocayo farm, just 10 miles from the heart of Durango, lies in the Florida River Valley. The cottage, which has been completely renovated, was once the blacksmithing shop for the homesteaders who settled here over a hundred years ago. Tocayo is a working farm with both a sheep operation and a commercial vegetable/cut flower garden.

In the main bedroom there is a king size bed and ample closet space. The living area has a fold out futon which can accommodate two kids or one adult. The full bath has a shower tub combo. Enjoy the views from the private back patio with either your morning coffee or while grilling your favorite meal.

While the farm itself is secluded and quiet, the day to day of the sheep operation and market garden make for a bustling environment. The cottage shares a large parking area with the main house which is located nearby.

Possibilities to accommodate people traveling with horses, large trailers or hunters exist. Inquire with owners.

A very tranquil place to stay. The check in was super easy. The place was spotless and equipped with everything we needed. The welcome wine and drinks in the fridge were a nice touch. We really enjoyed sitting on the back patio.

Perfect

We loved our time at the cottage and will stay there again when we are in Durango. It was the perfect location—close to town but remote in the best way. The hosts filled the cottage with kind touches that made us feel welcomed. We loved sitting by the river. It was the perfect rental for our vacation.

Hard to Leave This Place!

This cabin is in an idyllic setting almost beyond description. The short walk to the river, the breeze through the cottonwoods, the pastoral view of the fields from the patio, the cozy feeling in the well-appointed cabin, and the warm and friendly hosts make this place an incredibly delightful retreat. We intend to come back often.

Colorado retreat

I’d give more than 5 stars if possible! We couldn’t have asked for more with this cottage. It’s far enough out of town to feel secluded, close enough to town to experience what Durango has to offer. We loved sitting on the patio, and having a creek and picnic area a short stroll away.

Great anniversary trip!

We were here to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary and visit the many ruins in the area. The cottage was immaculate and perfectly appointed. We had everything we needed and we got to play with Casper the farm dog. The farm was quite and peaceful and was right by the river. We loved it!

Great spot

My wife and I were in Durango for just two nights and we wanted a quiet place to lay our heads as we were finishing up a cross country trek from Maine to Scottsdale. Spencer and Sarah’s lovely cabin was just perfect! Nice personal touches made us feel comfortable and the back patio, looking out over the pasture, was the perfect place for a glass of wine. Nice location just ten minutes from the town center but so quiet at night. I’d love to stay here again.
