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.

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.
