About this property
Mountain retreat, epic views, hot tub, decks, game room. A/C, Non-smoking.
This exceptional open-concept mountain retreat is designed for up to 8 adults in the main house, offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3 fireplaces, expansive decks, and unforgettable valley and cliff views.
The main home is limited to 8 adults and 1 small child to preserve the comfort and quality of the stay.
For larger groups, an optional guest house is available for $179/night ($220 on holidays) and includes: - queen sleeper sofa - 2 twin beds - full bath - its own air conditioning
With the guest house added, the property accommodates up to 12 guests total, with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across both spaces.
This is a non-smoking, non-vaping, and no-pet property inside or anywhere on the grounds. To protect the quality of the home for all guests, please do not book if anyone in your group smokes or vapes.
Step inside and enjoy the warmth, comfort, and elevated feel of a true executive mountain home. With 3 fireplaces, air conditioning, a hot tub, a newly remodeled kitchen (2024), and panoramic views, the home offers the atmosphere of a luxury private retreat rather than a typical rental.
Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the Animas Valley and surrounding red cliffs. Just 5 minutes from downtown Durango, you can easily enjoy restaurants, shopping, the trolley, local events, and quick access to hiking, skiing, fly fishing, and Jeep adventures.
In the evenings, unwind on the expansive decks, relax in the hot tub, and take in the sweeping mountain backdrop. One of the most memorable moments is hearing the historic Durango steam train in the distance, moving through the valley below.
The primary suite features its own private deck and gas fireplace and couch, while the second primary bedroom on the main level offers another fireplace, patio, and private entrance—ideal for couples or multi-generational groups wanting extra privacy within the home.
Guests especially love the: - vaulted ceilings - wire-brushed knotty pine doors - hardwood floors - surround sound system - heated 2-car garage for winter stays - high-efficiency washer + 2 dryers - beautifully updated furnishings throughout
For entertainment, the game area includes: - foosball - air hockey - ping pong - poker tabletop - additional family games
Our 42 acres mountainside setting behind the home connects to Federal land and dramatic elevation changes, making it especially appealing for adventurous guests who enjoy hiking, nature, and nearby rock-climbing access.
Recent upgrades include: - new main-house living room furniture - air conditioning in main house + guest house - fully remodeled kitchen completed November 2024
This is one of Durango’s rare stays that combines luxury comfort, panoramic views, flexible guest capacity, and close-to-town convenience—making it ideal for family vacations, couples traveling together, executive retreats, ski weekends, and elevated mountain getaways.

About the host
Hosted by Dennis. (owner operator)
My first trip to Durango was in 1994, and I fell in love. I returned every year for a week, and in the summer of 2011 my family and I stayed for 3 weeks. I decided to purchase a home here in February 2012 . We wanted the views, the mountains, land to hike and explore on, and Durango's downtown spirit. Luckily we found it! Durango and our home provide all the things we love to do, in one beautiful spot; hiking, skiing, mountain biking, white water rafting, fishing, soaring, great restaurants, children's activities, great music, and least we forget the Steam Train. Dennis
