Great place to get a little outside of town while visiting the Durango area. We enjoyed seeing several mule deer on the property during the stay.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting just outside of town. Seeing the mule deer around the property is always such a special experience, and we’re happy you were able to enjoy some local wildlife during your stay. We’d love to host you again next time you visit the Durango area!
Great cabin. High quality and well stocked. Felt like being in the country but only about 10 minutes or so to Durango. We saw deer every day around the cabin. Beds were comfortable. We will rent again.
