The perfect cabin for two with a beautiful view. Very private and quiet. We loved sitting on the front porch and listening to the birds. The misters were great to sit under on a hot day. Location was close to all Durango activities and stores. One of our favorite stays of all time! Thank you!

Very nice location among ponderosa pines, convenient to Durango but away from the crowds. The cabin is beautifully designed, with a pretty spiral staircase up to the sleeping loft and thick pine windowsills and kitchen countertop. Everything was clean, and there were no problems with any of the amenities. WiFi was out briefly but the hosts were super prompt to help us fix it. We enjoyed our stay!

This property was beautiful and was nice to be on the outskirts of Downtown Durango. We really enjoyed the secluded, quiet area. The doe and her babies right outside the cabin that we saw one morning was a cool part of it all too. We were really happy with our stay here.

Polar express getaway

Wife and I choose this location as it was just outside of the city but close enough for a quick drive to go anywhere we needed. Got to see some wildlife right outside the windows and woke up to the peaceful sounds of the trees in the wind. Cabin was very clean and host is very hospitable. Would stay here again.

Perfect Cabin for a Snow Trip

The pictures do not do enough justice to how cool the cabin is. I appreciate the detail that Greg put into the cabin. The fact they built the place themselves with wood they sourced and milled on the property makes it even better. The views are amazing and the property was very quiet and well cared for.Greg and Beth are extremely talented and gracious hosts.

We had the BEST stay at this awesome cabin! We were in Durango for a week for our honeymoon and couldn’t have picked a better place. We were looking for somewhere peaceful but close to activities and it fit the bill perfectly. The cabin is even nicer in person, and the hosts were amazing. Can’t wait to go back again!

We look forward to your stay and wish to share a sneak-peek into how our dream cabin became a reality.

In 2021, we purchased a sawmill with idea of building a cabin from scratch. Some of the logs for the project came from on site, while others came fire mitigation projects and neighborhood cleanup projects in area. Two years later the project was complete.

Please enjoy the beautiful views and our little piece of heaven.

Why they chose this property

Nature and wildlife all around.

What makes this property unique

Whether watching the sun sink in the western sky, viewing the monsoon rain clouds roll through in the late summer months or gazing out at the snowcapped peaks of Kenebec Pass above La Plata Canyon in the San Juan Mountains, our views are breathtaking! May you enjoy a Peek at the Peaks from the porch of our private cabin!
