The downstairs bedroom features a queen bed.
Both of the bedrooms include Helix foam mattresses, plenty of pillows, closets with hangers and dressers with ample storage, luggage racks, lamps, and USB ports on the night stands.

The property is shared with the main house which is a separate home. The guesthouse is close to the main house but we are typically in the backyard when we are outside.
You may see our chickens roaming around occasionally (Baby Baby Lollipop, Thumbelina, and Queenie) and our neighbor has peacocks/peahens that occasionally make an appearance. You may also hear cows in the valley and see elk congregating on the valley floor at certain times of the year.

Other Notes: There is high speed complimentary WiFi for guests.
There is parking dedicated to the guesthouse with room for two vehicles. If there will be more vehicles or abnormally large vehicles please let us know so we can see how we can accommodate them.
The stairs to the upstairs bedroom are steep and should be avoided if guests have mobility issues. There are baby gates that can be put up in the unit to keep small children off the stairs.
There is a security camera monitoring the driveway in front of main house.
Pets: We allow 1 dog, less than 50 lbs, per stay with a $100 pet deposit. Please reach out with questions.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Hidden Comfort
This cottage is perfect for anyone looking to be out of town, but close to Durango's many amenities. We stayed with our little girl and were provided with all the extras that a child brings: a roll out bed/pack and play, baby gate, high chair. We would stay again!
