About this property

Staying at The Roberta Barr is a one of a kind Colorado experience. Inside & out it is rustic perfection. Rentals are on a very limited basis.

The property is named for the woman who lived here for 75 years. The Roberta Barr includes a beautifully restored historic 1930s log cabin, glamping Honey House barn with hanging bed & luxurious Sioux tepee. The Joshua Cabin is furnished with the utmost regard to quality, taste & detail. The property is renown throughout the Animas River Valley.

The 7 acre park like setting includes manicured as well as natural areas. The property is bordered by 1/3 mile of Hermosa Creek & boasts a good sized trout pond. There are over 100 fruit trees throughout the property including cherry, apple, pear, peach, plum, apricot & a large raspberry patch.

Owners Alice & Eric Foultz are long-time 2nd homeowners in Durango. During bicycle rides they would visit with Roberta, who in her late 90's would sit on her front porch & say hello to those walking or biking past her amazing historic rose & perennial flower gardens. Sensing how special this property was naturally & emotionally to those in the community, Alice & Eric purchased the property in 2014 making a commitment to restore it to Roberta's former glory.

The Joshua Cabin was not just remodeled but it has been taken to the highest end of luxury & comfort. The historic structure remains intact, but the the interior has been redesigned & decorated by some of the best. Don McDonald Architects of San Antonio designed the remodel & Leta Foster Interiors of Palm Beach provided interior design & furnishings.

Roberta's rose & perennial flower gardens have been considered the finest in the Animas Valley & we work hard to maintain her standard.

The Roberta Barr is ideally located 10 miles north of Durango's Historic District & 15 miles south of the Purgatory Ski area.

The village of Hermosa is walking distance & includes a restaurant, convenience & liquor stores.

Just 2 miles from the property is PJ's Gourmet Market, Dalton Ranch Golf Club & Durango Hot Springs & Spa; James Ranch Grill & Farm to Table Market is only 1 mile.

Amazing property

We stayed here with our 4 kids (8 and younger). It’s such a special place with great accommodations. The property is amazingly well kept by Eric and his wife. They were great hosts and helped us with anything we needed! We caught fish, swam in their pond and picked fresh fruit which we all loved! We hated to leave and can’t wait to come back!

Exceptional stay

This property was absolutely incredible. The owners were so kind, hospitable, and thoughtful. We were so comfortable that we abandoned some plans that we had made just so we could spend more time at this special place. The grounds are amazingly kept and so inviting. I hope that we get to stay here again someday.

A full week of beauty and relaxation!

We spent a week at this beautiful property! We walked into the most comforting cabin with the sweetest welcome basket from Eric and Alice. I can't say enough about the special touches all over the property. Perfectly placed chairs by the stream with a fire pit, walking trails, orchards where you could pick fresh fruit, and I could go on and on. It was so relaxing that we had a tough time leaving! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful, unique place. We hope to return again next year.

Perfect Holiday

We spent a week at this magnificent property and can't wait to return. The cabin was sparkling clean and appointed with the best of everything. We enjoyed the fabulous welcome basket for dinner on our arrival. We awoke to the babbling brook every morning and the scenery and appliances were so wonderful we made dinner every night and stayed in after hiking at nearby parks and trails. The Teepee was a special treat! Eric and Alice are terrific! We loved picking fresh fruit with them.
