Lakeside Adventurer's Cabin

This well appointed, low key cabin is the storybook mountain cabin. Nestled in an aspen grove and sitting slightly above Lake Purgatory it boasts a short walk to the private lake making it easy to go canoeing or paddle boarding. At the end of a short dirt road with one other cabin on the road, this home feels like a secluded paradise!

Winter months provide a backcountry sort of experience without having to go deep into the woods. While the cabin is just over a mile from HWY 550, duringa snow storm guests will likely have to park approximately 50 yards from the cabin and walk, ski, or snowshoe in. Even though the road is maintained, the hill at the top of the driveway becomes unsurpassable in big snowstorms. This is exciting for the adventurers at heart! If this is for you, make sure you grab a bundle of wood on your way in and warm up next to the fire!

During summer months the driveway greets you with wild chamomile and mint, the lake sparkles beyond the aspen's leaves and the Needles Cliffs hang proudly around the backdrop. Find quiet solitude, and gather with your closest friends and family here.

Surrounded by aspens, this is a gorgeous resting spot for leaf peeping adventures. Soak in the view from the picture windows, bird watch from bed, and gaze at the incredible night sky.

Offering two cozy rooms with baseboard heat, picture windows, and comfortable beds, plus a sleeping loft/media room with futon sofas, this cabin is the perfect setting for an intimate group to call home base while they explore Durango's big back yard!

No matter what the season is, our guests find good friends and family around the fire pit on the patio, and enjoy gourmet meals in the fully stocked and updated kitchen.

Two mudrooms offer space for all the mountain gear you may need. Equipped with modern washer and dryer, guests can pack light and make themselves at home.

The log walls have been chinked and restored offering a rustic feel in the newly remodeled bathroom and bedroom. Owned by an artist, no detail has been forgotten with the aesthetic in this small yet open floor plan.

We invite you to bring your adventurous side, your inner mountain pioneer, and come relax!
