Beautiful Mountain Retreat

The property is situated on top of a mountain with spectacular views especially from the red chairs! The property is just 10 minutes from Durango and we found it to be convenient to all the activities that we wanted to do around Durango, Mesa Verde, Silverton and Farmington NM.

We could not have self-designed a place that more met our needs. Private, far removed from all noise except nature, dark with brilliant star gazing, places to hike on the property. While preparing a meal we would ask, "I wonder if they have "x" and sure enough it was there. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Barely saw the hosts but each encounter was great

Beautiful sunsets

As recent empty nesters, my husband and I were looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway and this did not disappoint. We really appreciated the close proximity to town when we wanted to go shopping or eat dinner out and were far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town when we wanted to relax. We enjoyed sitting in the chairs outside every evening enjoying the beautiful sunsets and the quiet. The place was very clean and Lasse was very responsive to anything we needed. It was a wonderful way to spend a weekend away enjoying nature and Durango.
