SKYHOUSE BASECAMP modern+views+explore+adventure
SKYHOUSE COLLECTION is your choice for sky high luxury.
Set on a steep slope in the beautiful Animas River Valley, the ultra-modern SKYHOUSE BASECAMP is an engineering marvel with sweeping views towards Durango and the surrounding landscape. Although shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation are within easy reach, you may find you never want to leave this bright, airy sanctuary, high above the fray of everyday life.
The space Reaching this gorgeous mountain property is like ascending to a new world. As you drive up the increasingly narrow and winding paved road, everyday cares fall away. Soak in the views from the wraparound main deck, soothe tired muscles in the hot tub and steam shower, and catch some rays in a lounge chair. Or fire up the grill for an al fresco meal as the sun sets over the mountains.
The multi-level house makes a carefully crafted design statement, with a stunning metal exterior and a light-filled interior. Features include exposed concrete walls, quartz countertops, intricate tilework, and accents such as original canvas photos from local artists and side tables made from vintage US Army equipment cases.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Best VRBO Ever
My wife and I took our 2 children and their spouses, our mothers and my grandmother from Arkansas to Durango. I looked for a house with enough beds, bathrooms, seating, and views. This place had that and much more! The views were amazing, the house was so beautiful, and stocked with just about anything that you could need. Our shower even turned into a sauna! We have stayed at many VRBO’s and this place by far was the best I’ve ever seen! My only advice to someone thinking of staying here is be prepared to dive up a very narrow steep road to access the property. 4x4 would be a must in snow season! Thank you to the owners for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Awesome
The first time driving up to the house was kind of scary, but after that it was fine. Great views, modern house. We didn't get in the hot tub because the 1st night a young bear came walking by the deck and everyone was afraid it would come back with mom! It was fun to see!

Wonderful property with beautiful views!
Everything about our stay was fantastic!. The instructions and communication prior to arrival were complete and clear. The property was very clean, stocked with basic necessities and the location was perfect for our event. The home is beautifully set up for larger groups. Very clean and modern and very comfortable. However the views deserve 10 stars!! Much better than described with floor to ceiling windows to take in the full beauty of Durango/Hermosa. Trace was wonderful and very accommodating. We will definitely be back.
