About this property

Luxury Cabin, Glamping Barn & Tipi, 1/3 mi creek, trout pond & swimming hole

Staying at The Roberta Barr is a one of a kind Colorado experience. Inside & out it is rustic perfection. Rentals are on a very limited basis.

The property is named for the woman who lived here for 75 years. The Roberta Barr includes a beautifully restored historic 1930s log cabin, glamping Honey House barn with hanging bed & luxurious Sioux tepee. The Joshua Cabin is furnished with the utmost regard to quality, taste & detail. The property is renown throughout the Animas River Valley.

The 7 acre park like setting includes manicured as well as natural areas. The property is bordered by 1/3 mile of Hermosa Creek & boasts a good sized trout pond. There are over 100 fruit trees throughout the property including cherry, apple, pear, peach, plum, apricot & a large raspberry patch.

Owners Alice & Eric Foultz are long-time 2nd homeowners in Durango. During bicycle rides they would visit with Roberta, who in her late 90's would sit on her front porch & say hello to those walking or biking past her amazing historic rose & perennial flower gardens. Sensing how special this property was naturally & emotionally to those in the community, Alice & Eric purchased the property in 2014 making a commitment to restore it to Roberta's former glory.

The Joshua Cabin was not just remodeled but it has been taken to the highest end of luxury & comfort. The historic structure remains intact, but the the interior has been redesigned & decorated by some of the best. Don McDonald Architects of San Antonio designed the remodel & Leta Foster Interiors of Palm Beach provided interior design & furnishings.

Roberta's rose & perennial flower gardens have been considered the finest in the Animas Valley & we work hard to maintain her standard.

The Roberta Barr is ideally located 10 miles north of Durango's Historic District & 15 miles south of the Purgatory Ski area.

The village of Hermosa is walking distance & includes a restaurant, convenience & liquor stores.

Just 2 miles from the property is PJ's Gourmet Market, Dalton Ranch Golf Club & Durango Hot Springs & Spa; James Ranch Grill & Farm to Table Market is only 1 mile.

Magical
To say that the Roberta Barr and Honey House property are magical is an understatement. This property is beautiful and has so much to offer. My husband, son, dog and I got to spend a week and cannot wait to go back. We fished and played in the river that ran at the edge of the property. We swam in the swim hole. We fished in the trout pond. We picked fruit in the orchard. This just mentions everything outside but the actual structures on the property are so wonderful. Comfortable, clean, and unique. I would be remise to not mention Eric and Alice, the property owners. They are so pleasant and made sure that we had everything we needed. I would highly suggest this property and area of Colorado. It was a vacation that we will never forget and a property that we cannot wait to visit again!

Stunning!
This property is even more spectacular than the site advertises and our family had a wonderful vacation, admiring the orchards, foliage, streams/river and mountains. Eric and Alice were fantastic hosts and we hope to return to this beautiful and very clean property soon. Thanks to you both for a memorable stay. Karen

Highly Recommend!
Our family of five including three boys ages 14, 12 and 8 loved every second of this vacation. The property was amazing. Pictures didn't do it justice. The owners were very accommodating and made us feel at home from the minute we arrived. Hope we can make it back there again!

Amazing property
We stayed here with our 4 kids (8 and younger). It’s such a special place with great accommodations. The property is amazingly well kept by Eric and his wife. They were great hosts and helped us with anything we needed! We caught fish, swam in their pond and picked fresh fruit which we all loved! We hated to leave and can’t wait to come back!

Exceptional stay
This property was absolutely incredible. The owners were so kind, hospitable, and thoughtful. We were so comfortable that we abandoned some plans that we had made just so we could spend more time at this special place. The grounds are amazingly kept and so inviting. I hope that we get to stay here again someday.
