About this property

Entire place

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

Mountain retreat, epic views, hot tub, decks, game room. Non-smoking. Near town.

This exceptional open-concept mountain retreat is designed for up to 8 adults in the main house, offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3 fireplaces, expansive decks, and unforgettable valley and cliff views.

The main home is limited to 8 adults and 1 small child to preserve the comfort and quality of the stay.

For larger groups, an optional guest house is available for $179/night ($220 on holidays) and includes:
- queen sleeper sofa
- 2 twin beds
- full bath
- its own air conditioning

With the guest house added, the property accommodates up to 12 guests total, with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across both spaces.

This is a non-smoking, non-vaping, and no-pet property inside or anywhere on the grounds. To protect the quality of the home for all guests, please do not book if anyone in your group smokes or vapes.

Step inside and enjoy the warmth, comfort, and elevated feel of a true executive mountain home. With 3 fireplaces, air conditioning, a hot tub, a newly remodeled kitchen (2024), and panoramic views, the home offers the atmosphere of a luxury private retreat rather than a typical rental.

Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the Animas Valley and surrounding red cliffs. Just 5 minutes from downtown Durango, you can easily enjoy restaurants, shopping, the trolley, local events, and quick access to hiking, skiing, fly fishing, and Jeep adventures.

In the evenings, unwind on the expansive decks, relax in the hot tub, and take in the sweeping mountain backdrop. One of the most memorable moments is hearing the historic Durango steam train in the distance, moving through the valley below.

The primary suite features its own private deck and gas fireplace and couch, while the second primary bedroom on the main level offers another fireplace, patio, and private entrance—ideal for couples or multi-generational groups wanting extra privacy within the home.

Guests especially love the:
- vaulted ceilings
- wire-brushed knotty pine doors
- hardwood floors
- surround sound system
- heated 2-car garage for winter stays
- high-efficiency washer + 2 dryers
- beautifully updated furnishings throughout

For entertainment, the game area includes:
- foosball
- air hockey
- ping pong
- poker tabletop
- additional family games

Our 42 acres mountainside setting behind the home connects to Federal land and dramatic elevation changes, making it especially appealing for adventurous guests who enjoy hiking, nature, and nearby rock-climbing access.

Recent upgrades include:
- new main-house living room furniture
- air conditioning in main house + guest house
- fully remodeled kitchen completed November 2024

This is one of Durango’s rare stays that combines luxury comfort, panoramic views, flexible guest capacity, and close-to-town convenience—making it ideal for family vacations, couples traveling together, executive retreats, ski weekends, and elevated mountain getaways.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard. Housekeeping is available on request.

We spent a fabulous holiday at this bright and amazing Colorado home. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful space. The views were breathtaking and we were able to enjoy all the comforts of home and then some. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to prepare a complete thanksgiving dinner. The towels were soft and the linen was downy fresh. Our group consisted of a couple, a family of four with 2 small children and Granny; there was plenty of space for everyone.

Very comfortable and perfect location

The house is spacious and suited 3 generations well. This is our third summer in Durango and our favorite home. The location is close to town but feels remote. It is close to all the activities and restaurants. The kids loved watching the chipmunks. I miss it already. Dennis is wonderful to communicate with.

Absolutely perfect!

I have nothing but glowing compliments for both Dennis and his house!Dennis is an amazing host. Everything about the property, it's location, and the amenities were communicated clearly and ahead of time. He offered recommendations for hikes and dinning that were perfect for our family (including our three small children). The location of the property could not have been more convenient, just a few minutes from downtown Durango, and was the perfect hub for a trip full of hiking, white water rafting, horseback riding, and more. The views from the deck were picturesque. The house had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable.

We had a great time staying at the house, while three families (12 people total) vacationed for a ski-based spring break.The house was in a great location, just north of the town of Durango and the house was 20-25 minutes away from Purgatory resort. The house had great amenities and kept everyone entertained with the hot tub, games, table games for kids (air hockey, foosball, ping pong), etc. The kitchen was big enough so multiple people could be cooking at the same time. The house also felt very comfortable. All the adults in our party noted how happy they were with the house we rented. Overall, Of

Magic in Durango

Our group of eight was celebrating our son's 50th birthday - Polar Express. skiing and great restaurants in Durango. The host, Dennis, right after the booking, gave us great ideas about restaurants and things to do. Excellent communication continued up to the trip and during our stay. The house was perfect - location and appointments, beautiful views of the valley. I especially enjoyed the train passing below with steam rising through the trees. Dennis communicated proactively, checking on our needs and reminding us of amenities we may have overlooked or forgotten about. Due the cold weather we did not use the hot tub or the patio. This is a fantastic house in a superb location with an excellent host; we will be back, maybe for a month in the summer of 2027.

Fantastic Stay with Breathtaking Mountain Views!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely house, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short distance from town, making it convenient for exploring local attractions and dining options. The house offers stunning views of the mountains, creating a picturesque backdrop that truly enhances the experience. The host was incredibly responsive, ensuring that all my questions were answered promptly and making the check-in process seamless. The only small issue I encountered was that, for a house of this caliber, I would have expected it to include essentials like soap, shampoo. Despite this minor oversight, I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway!

This beautiful house was perfect for our first family trip to Durango. Very clean, comfortable and the close access to downtown was a big plus! The kitchen has a breathtaking view as well as being very well stocked. We were easily able to make family meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked great for our family of 7 and were very comfortable. We enjoyed the deck with its beautiful view and hearing the famous train pass by was fun for all of us. Everyone had fun searching for lizards among the rocks, birdwatching, and seeing the chipmunks. After a day of hiking and exploring, the hot tub was popular. Our next trip to Durango will definitely include staying in this home again! We appreciate the fantastic communication with the owner about our stay in the house and about the area.
