This was the perfect place for our two-week stay! Martha was so welcoming and greeted us warmly upon arrival. This property has everything needed for a comfortable stay; Martha knows what travelers want when they are away from home. We enjoyed many hours relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view on the porch. The Animas River Trail in Durango provided an outstanding opportunity for long walks on several days. Day trips to Ouray and Telluride were easy and the scenery on the way was gorgeous!

We absolutely loved our stay! The home was spotless, comfortable, and so relaxing—it truly felt like a little getaway. We traveled with our 10-year-old and our dog, and it was perfect for both—very welcoming and accommodating. The hostess was incredibly friendly and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The complimentary snack bag with drinks was such a sweet touch and very appreciated! We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, welcoming place.

Awesome place

We enjoyed our stay at the Rooster. Martha was an awesome host. She made sure we were all set, came by when we first arrived and welcomed us and answered all our questions. The views are tremendous and only 15 minutes to town. Very relaxing stay with a great host in a prime spot. We’ll be staying there again.

My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay. We met Martha, the host upon arrival and we were quickly put at ease from the conversion we had. Comfort and great hospitality are top notch.

Remarkable rental

We’ve been renting in Durango across hotels, and vacation rentals for 10 years. This was one of two favorite places we’ve stayed. Martha has put so much thought into this place. The accommodations are top notch, it’s in a wonderful part of the valley, and the hosts are just the nicest people. We will definitely be back!

Cozy cabin with a personal touch!

This cabin was perfect for us in so many ways: The location with easy access to Durango as well as lots of hiking north of town, the porch with a beautiful view of the mountains, and most of all the amazing hospitality of the hostess, Martha! We have never stayed in a rental that felt so much like home…Martha thought of everything! Her personal touch and warm welcome will keep us coming back!

Everything you need

Stupendous views! Visiting in late May, the land was green and temperate. We heard many beautiful bird songs we’d never heard before. The interior of the bunkhouse is carefully curated to provide you the most comfortable, homey stay possible. Skylights let you see the stars from bed as you fall asleep. Host is amazing, has thought of things you need and provided them before you even know you need them.

First Class

Beautiful property, home, and owner! Pristine home. After a long road trip to Durango, I opened the refrigerator to find a wide variety of cold beverages. Since it was a warm day, Martha had the fans and AC on for us. The bed was very comfy. The surroundings are spectacular! Very peaceful. A few times a day you will hear the local steam and diesel trains on their journey to/from Silverton. Everything was first class! Martha's a gem. We really don't want to share this with anyone else so we can keep it our secret. :)

The homeowner is absolutely delightful. She respects her guests privacy. The home is perfect for one couple in an especially romantic setting. It’s professionally decorated and furnished and fully equipped for comfort. A surprise bonus....the homeowner supplied all sorts of goodies to enjoy during our stay. Yum! Ten minutes or so from Durango, the location is incredibly peaceful. We couldn’t wait to be back “home” on the deck at the end of the day to mesmerize over the view of the red cliffs, the sunset and the two horses. We appreciate very much the tranquil spirit here and feel like we won the lottery. Thanks M. Pat and Jeff

Fantastic Experience!

My wife, son and 2 small dogs were on a 2 week vacation visiting all the National Parks in the state. We spent 4 nights here but wish we could have stayed for the entire 2 weeks! Martha was a very gracious host, welcoming and accommodating the entire stay. The cabin is very well stocked and the furniture and interior design is very well executed. The bed was very comfortable. The fully tiled shower and the claw foot tub were great amenities. The dishwasher was the quietest dishwasher we have ever used! The views from the deck were great as was the game room. We spent multiple nights playing pool, darts and Foosball. There is a fire pit and a deck we used in the mornings to admire the view and drink coffee. There was even a wild turkey the owners feed in the morning! Great location and even better hosts. This experience was by far the best time we have had at any previous cabin. The Rustic Rooster sets the bar high for future rentals. If you are looking in this area there is no better place to stay.
