Located just a short 10-minute drive north of the historic town of Durango, nestled in a serene community, sits a delightful home with a tranquil creek-side setting and stunning mountain views, bordering the San Juan National Forest. The residence offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Animas River Valley, featuring a bright and spacious great room adorned with high vaulted ceilings, cozy seating, and expansive windows providing breathtaking views of the backyard. Its prime location allows for easy access to the plethora of outdoor activities that southwestern Colorado has to offer. The great room is designed for entertaining and relaxation, accommodating gatherings of all sizes, complete with TV, a DVD player, and a Wii for entertainment. For added flexibility, there is a futon available for additional sleeping options. The dining area is capable of seating 8-10 people and provides a lovely view of the picturesque garden. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with all the amenities one might need. Adjacent to the great room is a private home office area, furnished with a desk for those who need to attend to work matters during their stay. The home also provides an array of games, puzzles, books, and children's toys to keep younger guests entertained. The private master suite boasts a luxurious king-sized bed, a spacious ensuite bathroom with a double vanity, and is equipped with a flat-screen TV and DVD player. The two additional bedrooms include a peaceful room with a queen-sized bed and a cheerful children's room featuring a bunk bed and a cozy twin bed. Outside, the patio seating area for 8 people, which includes a comfortable dining area and Adirondack chairs, is the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the view. Follow the garden paths and wooden bridges over the little waterways that lead to the San Juan National Forest or simply relax, grill, and dine on the expansive back deck, which offers a splendid vantage point to admire the seasonal flower garden, catch sight of the local wildlife, and revel in the awe-inspiring mountain scenery. Please note that this is a split-level home, so some stairs are required.

    One of the best VRBO's that we have stayed in. Very clean and well equipped. Very quiet and a beautiful view out to the backyard and the creek. Indeed a slice of heaven. We loved it all!!!

    We 6 were in Durango for a wedding. We so enjoyed the house. It was roomy, beautifully decorated and the kitchen had everything we needed. The back deck was our favorite spot. Thank you, Gwynn and Casey for all you did for us. Hopefully, we will return some day. There is much to explore

    My husband and I came to the Durango area for a vacation and hiking. This house was so perfect! Very comfortable and the location was unbelievable! The pictures don't do it justice. The backyard is a little piece of heaven with 2 streams running through complete with beautiful birds and the occasional family of wild turkeys coming through. Felt very fortunate staying in this lovely house in a perfect setting. House had everything you need, toiletries, paper products, kitchen gadgets and more. Would love to come back!

    The house is beautiful and very comfortable with everything you need. There is a nice yard and small park nearby. The house and yard are dog friendly, and the neighborhood dogs are easy going and like to play. The location is good as well, near PJs Grocery. It is quiet with wild turkeys making their way through on a regular basis! I would definitely stay here again when in Durango.

    This is just like the pictures show. The backyard is very relaxing, the inside is very spacious. The only thing to keep an eye on is that the switches control the outlets so when you think you are charging your phone you might not be. Its a great place to stay and the neighbors are very friendly.

    Our family of 6 stayed at this lovely property. The back yard is a nice oasis. We saw wild turkeys, deer, raccoons and a bear. The house was better stocked than the property manager stated. Only issue was that the lockbox didn’t work, however the code worked on the garage door opener. We would stay there again.

    My family and my sister's family like to get away to the mountains every summer. This year we went to Durango and it didn't disappoint. The house was perfect to have some down time but also a great spot to do dinner in Durango or a day playing at Purgatory. We are already talking about going back next summer!
