About the host
Hosted by Florence Gaia
I'm a enthusiastic transplant from MA. Born and raised in Rutherford, NJ just across from "the City", spent 30 yrs in MA happily living in Lexington and Plum Island, Newburyport in a beach house but the wild beauty of the Rocky Mtns of Colorado always called to me and I finally found my dream home here in Durango. Went to college @ Seton Hall University and Boston College. I'm happy to share my home when I'm OOT vwith guests who appreciate and love the mountains as I do.
What makes this property unique
This is the perfect lodge for family reunions (sleeps 8) or quiet couple/family vacations. You have the beauty of the LaPlata mountains, whispering breezes through ponderosa pines, birds singing, an occasional deer or coyote wandering through the yard.
