Escape to a true Colorado sanctuary tucked among the trees in Durango, where mountain adventure meets family comfort. This spacious 5-bedroom home provides the ideal base for large families, blending a serene forest setting with easy access to the best of the San Juan Mountains.
The home is thoughtfully configured to sleep 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The primary suite is a true retreat featuring a king bed with premium linens, room-darkening shades, and private balcony access to breathe in the crisp mountain air. Three additional bedrooms offer king beds—including one with a dedicated workstation for remote work—while the fifth bedroom serves as a dedicated bunk room, providing the kids with their own cozy space.
Designed for group gatherings, the interior features a living room with leather seating and a 75-inch Roku TV, alongside a separate game room equipped with a pool table and a bar for evening competition. The culinary heart of the home is a fully equipped kitchen boasting upscale appliances and a Viking stove, complemented by two dining tables that seat eight each, ensuring plenty of room for hearty post-ski feasts.
Outdoor living is where the property truly shines. Three decks offer sweeping mountain views, alfresco dining, and lounge seating. Guests can unwind in the private outdoor hot tub or rejuvenate in the indoor dry sauna. For those who love to cook outdoors, a BBQ grill and pellet smoker are available year-round.
Located on over an acre just north of Durango, the home is perfectly positioned between downtown and Purgatory Resort. Guests are only 15 minutes from the alpine slides and biking trails of Purgatory or the boutique shops and craft breweries of historic Main Avenue. Nature lovers will enjoy nearby Hermosa Creek Trail, while the historic Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad runs directly behind the property, adding a nostalgic soundtrack to the daytime experience.

We love our dogs and they are occasionally in the property. If you have pet allergies, this home may not be for you. We allow up to 2 well-behaved dogs only on a preapproved basis, with a $100 fee per pet. Dogs must be with owners or kenneled. We don't have a kennel at the property at the moment, but plan to bring one soon. Unauthorized pets will incur an additional $300 cleaning fee per pet. Any smoking on property will incur a $500 additional cleaning fee.
No glass containers in the Hot Tub area. We have acrylic wine glasses and Red Solo Cups available, so no need for beer bottles outside. Footwear is required to and from hot tub. Any excessive cleaning fees for the house or the Hot Tub are the responsibility of the Guest. We strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests. For this reason, any problems must be brought to our attention immediately so we can correct them as quickly as possible, both for you and for guests who may be arriving the same day you check out.
No Fires allowed anywhere on property. No burning candles, incense or any open flames. This area suffered from a horrible fire a few years ago, so you can understand our concern about this. The fires came fairly close to our neighborhood. No tampering with outdoor cameras or Wi-Fi hub. We have systems that depend on the Wi-Fi. No tampering with the generator. The generator will automatically start and power essential circuits in the house in the unlikely event of a power outage. Parking is only on the driveway or in the garage. There is no parking on the grass or on the street in front of our property. This is enforced strictly by our HOA.
No shipments to our property are allowed. If something goes to our mailbox, there is no key on the property. We do, however, allow Walmart Plus and Instacart deliveries while you are staying at the property.
No need to strip bedding, please load and run dishwasher and take out the trash. I dislike long to-do lists when I stay at a short term rental. You should be here to relax, not to do all the work. Please check every closet, every drawer and under the beds etc for any personal belongings.
