Private, cozy and quaint, your chalet in the Animas Valley awaits. With its beautiful mountain views, proximity to downtown Durango and Purgatory Resort, it's the ideal location for your next getaway. This one bedroom plus loft home is perfect for a small family wanting to be close to all Durango has to offer or a couple looking for a romantic retreat. Sitting on 3 acres, there's plenty of room to play outdoor games. Smart TV and high speed internet. Kitchen is stocked with all essentials. There's also a free library of books.

This charming home boasts rustic furniture that has been hand crafted using the finest wood from the San Juan National Forest. Gorgeous mountain views right from the front porch. Keurig coffee maker with pods upon your arrival. There are books for people of all ages as well as board games. The kitchen is fully stocked as well. Let this be your home away from home.

Nestled between downtown Durango and Purgatory Ski Resort. Approximately 10 miles away from both. You'll find all that Southwest Colorado has to offer is conveniently located very closely to our location.

Staying in this home ensures a parking space for one passenger vehicle. If you need space for a 2nd vehicle, you just need to contact me in advance and I will make arrangements for you to be able to park that 2nd vehicle.

Anything other than a passenger vehicle (ie - trailer, camper, etc) must also be advised in advance. It can most likely be accommodated but in order to ensure a space, you must let me know in advance.

***Please contact me in advance of booking with pets. There will be an additional $25 pet fee required per dog. I'm sorry but there are no cats allowed. Dogs must be kenneled if kept inside the home alone.

***DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER IN OUR TOILETS. We have a sensitive septic system. Do not flush any wipes (baby wipes, flushable wipes etc) nor any feminine products in our toilets. Doing so will wreak havoc on our septic system and cause you to incur a $500 fine.

***All towles are to remain on site. They are not to be brought to the hot springs or on a hike or used to clean with. If the towels are stained, there will be an additional $25 charge for bath towels, $10 for hand towels, $5 for wash cloths.

***ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES ALLOWED. Your reservation will be cancelled and you will be forced to leave immediately if this rule is not abided by.

***No smoking of any kind is allowed inside the home. Doing so will cause you to incur a $100 fine.

    Overall, very cute and cozy home! The beds were very comfortable. We even heard an elk call while we were there! It was very dark when we arrived late at night. Some outdoor lighting would have been helpful but we used our phone flashlights. The electrical outlet in the bathroom didn’t work but other than that, we really enjoyed the home. It was easy to find, had all amenities we needed and the owner was very responsive to our concerns. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

    Couldn't have been happier with our VRBO and with the host. Nice and clean and full equipped for enjoyment. Super Deck looked out onto gorgeous Mountain scenery and access to Durango was great. I highly recommend this site and the host.

    Driveway is narrow. Bed is firm. Very clean. Easy to communicate with owners. Nice small cabin.

    Cute property located in a very convenient area. It was an easy drive to Durango or venturing up the million dollar highway toward Ouray. Great communication with Vita. She was very accommodating. Sitting out on the front porch you had an amazing view of the mountains along with the wildlife. Great property for a Colorado getaway.

    We were bringing my kiddo back from Spring Break and decided to stay an extra night and found this cute little A-frame not even 1/2 mile down the road. Super convenient, easy to find and Vita was awesome with communication.

    We only stayed one night here, but it fit our needs perfectly. Very quiet, close proximity to the places we like to visit, and clean.

    Cabin was sweltering, small air conditioner, no cross ventilation. We have stayed in cabins in CO before without air conditioning that had screens on windows and fans with no problem - this was not the case. Comforter smelled strongly of BO. 1/2 door from kitchen into bathroom. Electric in bathroom didn't work. stayed 1 night & checked out. Host won't refund money.
