Cozy cabin in a beautiful setting!

The cabin was perfect for our family of four and our small dog. We loved the location about 25 minutes outside of Durango and only five minutes to Purgatory. We also enjoyed fishing on Lake Electra right down the road. The cabin was clean and well appointed with necessities. We really enjoyed the views from the back patio. We truly enjoyed our stay!
