-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed, Twin Bed

After a long day of exploring Durango, gather in the home's expansive backyard and unwind to the lullaby of the creek. With a large seating area, charcoal grill, and 360-degree natural views, this creek-bordered yard will transport you back to simpler times.

When the brisk night air begins to chill your bones, seek refuge from the cold under the home's exposed wood ceilings. As you sit on the living room couch and feel the heat of the gas fireplace hit your face, enjoy your favorite book or lively conversation with friends and family.

The well-equipped kitchen, featuring an oven, breakfast table for 2, and more, has everything you'll need to whip up a 5-star meal for your loved ones. After dinner, challenge loved ones to a game of ping pong in the garage before winding down fireside with a nightcap.

As the kids drift off to sleep in their queen bed, head to the master bedroom to rest your head on your own cozy queen-sized bed.

-- THE LOCATION --

Channel your inner Lewis and Clark and explore the majestic wilderness of southern Colorado by hiking the Vallecito Creek Trail. Sitting just minutes from the property, this moderately difficult, 11.8-mile hiking trail, allows hikers to marvel at the creek and wildlife while climbing 1512-feet in elevation.

When the hot Centennial sun's beating down, head 10 minutes down the road and dive into the Vallecito Lake. This breathtaking lake, surrounded by the San Juan National Forest, is not only home to some of the state's best fishing, but also boat rentals, cross-country skiing, and camping!

Don't miss a chance to explore the unique town of Durango, located less than 30 miles from the property. Whether you spend your day eating green chili stew at Gazpachos New Mexican Cooking y Cantina or exploring the shops that give visitors a taste of the one-of-a-kind culture of the area, you're sure to fall in love with this southwestern city.

Want to take a first-hand look at this region's unique history? Drive 85-miles west and see how the ancient Puebloans lived at Mesa Verde National Park. Home to Cliff Palace, the largest cliff dwelling in North America, this park will truly provide you with an unforgettable experience.
