You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Mineshaft, Creek front, Hot Tub, Close to Town, Ski Area 20 miles

The Durango Mine Shaft, a humble vacation rental in the Animas Valley in Durango, is nestled among some of the largest pines in the Animas Valley and bordered by a seasonal creek which can be viewed from the two decks or from the comfort of the hot tub. This home offers a true Southwest Colorado experience. Indoors, light a fire and make your gourmet meal in the kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. Days filled with activities will have you sleeping well in this home, which sleeps 10. WI FI and cable tv mean you don't lose touch with the world, unless you choose to! For booking information, and information about additional activities available, contact Scott at number listed below.

This home is a 1970's A frame style cabin that has an eclectic Colorado Outdoor Lover's decor. It is set back off the road, on a 2 acre property with an 8 ft privacy fence in the front dividing the shared driveway with another home. There are tons of hiking trails within a short drive. It is located a half mile from Trimble Hot Springs & Spa and 10 minutes to Durango City Limits.

This home is best suited for folks who want to gather together in an open floor plan, enjoy the serenity of the tall trees, play outside during the day in Durango's ENORMOUS backyard, and live the good life in the moment. This is our cabin in the woods that is close to town. It does not boast elegant finishing touches, suburban curb appeal, or the shine of a new home. But it has upgrades where we think it counts, is comfortable and unique. We hope you will enjoy it too!

Durango's Premier Sailing Adventure Company, Peaks and Tides, offers sailing charters for morning and sunset cruises, lessons, team building stay and sail packages and more with exclusive offers for Mineshaft guests.

The property owner never contacted VRBO to cancel our stay. We showed up our check-in day that morning to come to find out that our our cabin was out of order for two weeks prior to our stay. We ended up staying at a hotel in town. Ruined our little one’s birthday getaway. You might want rethink booking this property.

The home was well furnished and the area was quite. It is just a short trip to downtown Durango but away from the city traffic. We enjoyed sitting on one of the decks in the evenings. The hot tub was nice at the end of the day. We would stay again.

Wonderful space for family to gather together in the beautiful spaces of Durango. We loved the location as we like to be out of town a bit so it's quiet and peaceful. We hiked behind the house, rode the train to Silverton, enjoyed the Durango Hot Springs, cooked a little, ate out a bit and everyone had a really wonderful time. Our host was very kind and helpful and made us feel at home.

Cozy Mountainside Getaway

Beautiful property tucked back next to a creek- very private- only 1/2 mile from the Durango Hot Springs Resort which was the highlight of our trip! Beautiful house with comfy beds. This house was stocked with everything we needed for a 2 night stay, we didn’t have to bring anything but ourselves!

Quick weekend in Durango

Just dropped in for a quick weekend. The location was great and we walked to the hot springs for a day and it was amazing.It is a very rustic cabin that was a little hard to find at our late, late night arrival. But once our found it, we were able to enjoy the scenery, hot tub, and area fully! It served its purpose well and we enjoyed our stay.Great hosts that were very responsive.

Awful Experience

Pin link through VRBO takes you to the neighbors house which is extremely hard to get out of. The actual address looks like someone’s personal house (it is). You can’t see the “metal privacy fence” at night and you feel like you’re trespassing while trying to find the house. We tried reaching out to the property manager, Scott. We left a voicemail and a text after he didn’t answer. Scott responded 2 hours later with a text that didn’t make sense. House had mouse poop on the beds and unwashed sheets. We are extremely unimpressed with the professionalism of this property. We travel often for work and use VRBO all the time. We have never had an experience like this. We do not recommend this property

Quaint but interesting...

Nice, private and roomy. Met our needs and great overall location for our time spent in the area. Property just seemed "tired" and in need of some work. Couple of quirky items/areas (laundry drain, upstairs bathroom), but again, sufficient. Owner responded well to a couple of issues we had. Hard to find (or understand where to look) in the dark - better explanation on what will be found when you get there would have helped.

Not so much

Great location. Air condition was a smaller unit and did not cool the house so we had to keep windows and doors open. Each bedroom had its own air system and was good. Parking is an issue for 12 people but Scott was great helping work it out. The grills have holes rusted in the bottom but worked. The place served it’s purpose but would not recommend it.
