Enjoy the best of both worlds! Tocayo farm, just 10 miles from the heart of Durango, lies in the Florida River Valley. The cottage, which has been completely renovated, was once the blacksmithing shop for the homesteaders who settled here over a hundred years ago. Tocayo is a working farm with both a sheep operation and a commercial vegetable/cut flower garden.

In the main bedroom there is a king size bed and ample closet space. The living area has a fold out futon which can accommodate two kids or one adult. The full bath has a shower tub combo. Enjoy the views from the private back patio with either your morning coffee or while grilling your favorite meal.

While the farm itself is secluded and quiet, the day to day of the sheep operation and market garden make for a bustling environment. The cottage shares a large parking area with the main house which is located nearby.

Possibilities to accommodate people traveling with horses, large trailers or hunters exist. Inquire with owners.

    The hosts were very welcoming and made our stay feel like a home away from home. We loved our time out in Colorado here and highly recommend this cabin for anyone wanting a cozy getaway!

    One of the best VBRO’s I’ve ever stayed in. Thoughtful touches made me feel right at home and everything was very comfortable. The hosts were quick to respond to questions I had and the location was so peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin!

    Beautiful and peaceful place. The cottage was very cozy and the farm was amazing. Took a walk in the morning to the sheep pen and to the river on the property. We will be back soon!

    The cottage was perfect for us. It was just as advertised. We had a nice back patio with a great view of a pasture. The location was easy access to and from Durango. It was also in the country enough where my husband could see dark skies and take his astrophotography pictures. We loved playing with Casper, the friendly dog! I would not hesitate to stay here again! Colorado is awesome!

    A very tranquil place to stay. The check in was super easy. The place was spotless and equipped with everything we needed. The welcome wine and drinks in the fridge were a nice touch. We really enjoyed sitting on the back patio.

    My wife and I were in Durango for just two nights and we wanted a quiet place to lay our heads as we were finishing up a cross country trek from Maine to Scottsdale. Spencer and Sarah’s lovely cabin was just perfect! Nice personal touches made us feel comfortable and the back patio, looking out over the pasture, was the perfect place for a glass of wine. Nice location just ten minutes from the town center but so quiet at night. I’d love to stay here again.

    We loved our time at the cottage and will stay there again when we are in Durango. It was the perfect location—close to town but remote in the best way. The hosts filled the cottage with kind touches that made us feel welcomed. We loved sitting by the river. It was the perfect rental for our vacation.

    This cabin is in an idyllic setting almost beyond description. The short walk to the river, the breeze through the cottonwoods, the pastoral view of the fields from the patio, the cozy feeling in the well-appointed cabin, and the warm and friendly hosts make this place an incredibly delightful retreat. We intend to come back often.
