The property was absolutely wonderful and reasonably priced. The home was stocked with everything we needed. The wildlife around the cabin was an awesome bonus. It’s a bit off the beaten path but worth the trouble of getting to.

Cabin was exactly what my husband and I wanted for our honeymoon. The hosts were prompt and thorough in their communication. I recommend this cabin for anyone looking to stay in a cozy, secluded mountain top getaway close to plenty of hiking trails, cute downtowns (Durango, Pagosa Springs), and fishing opportunities.
