About this property

Romantic Cottage on Private Acreage 5 min. to Downtown- Incredible Views

  • This private, cozy cottage is nestled on a 19 acre parcel in the East Animas Valley, just a couple of miles north of the Durango city limits. You will enter the property through an electronic gate and continue on a 500 foot private road towards the Red Hermosa Cliffs. Beyond the cliffs is nothing but picturesque forest service land for hundreds of miles. On the property there is a private, covered tennis court for your personal use and high speed internet!

    This secluded property, only 2 miles from Durango, is in a beautiful river valley abundant with tall Ponderosa Pines and enormous oaks. At 6500 feet in elevation there are great views of the La Plata Mountains with a perfect combination of warm winter days and cool summer nights. Plus you are only a 25 minute drive to the Durango Mountain Ski Resort.

    This home is beautifully furnished with antiques and art. The main floor has vaulted ceilings and large windows to show off mother nature's beauty. The master bedroom and bath are on the first floor, and a second bedroom (lofted, open concept) with private bath is on the second floor. The granite countertop kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs, or you can barbeque on the west covered porch with the gas grill.

    After a long day exploring this wonderful area, enjoy dinner on the large southern deck with a fully gated porch. Only 30 minutes away, visit the astonishing cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde.

Perfect getaway!

This cottage was perfect! It was a short distance from Durango yet it felt like we were totally secluded. Even the drive to and from along the Animas River was beautiful. Lana was super responsive to any questions.

Great place close to town

The property is as described. Had everything you need and was close to town, yet so quiet. Also you cant see it in the pictures but you can close the entire porch (with gate) that opens to a small fenced yard area that was perfect for our 90lb dog.

Absolutely beautiful! Quiet, clean and had everything needed for my 5 day stay. Lana was incredible. I have stayed on two of her properties and would chose only to stay with her properties but it doesn't always work out. I highly recommend!

What a wonderful place to stay! Quiet yet convenient to town. So very nice for our pups. You can close off the porch yet it's still open to the backyard fenced dog area. Very handy! The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. Lana is very friendly and check in/check out was easy. Thank you for a great vacation. :-)

Amazing property!

Staying here allowed us to have the best perspective of Durango. The surrounding area is picturesque and surreal. One of the highlights of the day is coming back to a cozy environment after a long day of exploration. The surrounding sounds of nature melt the stress of ‘normal’ life away. All of the small things taken care of. Coffee, food and water dog bowls, biscuits. Really nice glassware. Well decorated and modern interior Thank you so much! We enjoyed every minute staying here. Highly recommend staying here

Beautiful property!

Absolutely loved the location along a quiet stretch of “country” road yet we were a stone’s throw to downtown. We love to ride our bikes and look for places along this stretch of road and we lucked out finding this gem! House is extremely well stocked and felt like home as it had everything we needed. Very quiet property (we loved seeing the deer) with beautiful trees and landscaping. House is dog friendly with a fenced dog run and sweet touches with dedicated dog bowls and treats. Loved the comfort of the king sized bed and how amazingly clean everything was! Will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay!

As advertised!

Occasionally we have run into VRBO's that are not exactly as described in the listing. This is absolutely not the case for this property. It is charming, cozy, quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed every minute we stayed there and even our dog Bodie treated it like home quickly. Additionally, Bodie is a working therapy dog and we so appreciate having him with us. Due to his nature and importance to our community it is difficult to find him the proper care when away. The location is excellent and fit our desires perfectly. Town is not too close, not too far, very accessible. We will return.

We couldn't have been happier. The place was immaculate when we arrived. It was so cozy and perfect for two people. The location was perfect - access was easy to downtown Durango and the train station. Lana came by to meet us and ask if we needed anything.Only thing - the description indicated that it was a 15-minute walk to the Animas River. We couldn't find any access to take that walk. Other than that - excellent. We can't wait to go back next year.

This property is great if you want to be out in the country. The valley and surrounding bluffs are amazing. It's very quiet and peaceful. You will need to drive a few miles to get into town and to the river but it's an easy drive. We found the house very clean and comfortable. The king size bed is a plus and having the patio fenced is great if you have a dog. The host was very pleasant and helpful.

The property is excellent and well maintained. Overall it was a good experience. Some points of feedback would be that it would be nice to have some condiments available (not a deal breaker) and the TV is a little slow. It would be nice to have a portable fan for airflow in general. Otherwise it was a great location and was a great stay.

Wonderful Getaway

Very sweet house in a beautiful setting. A little bit of snow made it magical. The house had everything we needed for cooking a big meal and enjoying time with family. The tennis court and hot tub added to the fun. Loved the location just a few minutes out of town. Thanks Lana.
