Fantastic Stay

Loved staying at the "Barn". The home was very comfortable, and provided the perfect space for us as we enjoyed the holidays with family who live in Durango. The location is a perfect mix of closeness to town and the ski slopes while still feeling remote.

Charming cottage in lovely setting

We enjoyed every day at the Barn. The home was well appointed with all the necessary amenities. We loved the view from the porch and the quiet of a rural setting. So cozy for two and our dog. Thank you for making the Barn a home away from home.

Houstonians vacation July 2023

The property is located just out of town, but close enough to enjoy all that Durango has to offer. The house and property are very well maintained with all the amenities for a very welcoming and comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend for a couple or small family. Our Labrador loved the property and we felt very comfortable allowing her to roam freely on the property under our supervision. Had four to six Mule deer visit almost every morning of our stay. We would like to thank you for our visit to the Barn House. It was a lovely house and the property was amazing. We not only enjoyed the house, we loved Durango and the state of Colorado. Hopefully we will be back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Lana

Thirty years ago my husband and I moved to Durango, CO and have never looked back. We started a vacation rental business in 2003, with only one vacation rental. Over the years, we have acquired 5 other rentals. My goal as a host is to make sure that your stay is memorable. I hope that you will fall in love with Durango the way that we did many decades ago, and will continue visiting us like many of our repeat guests.
