Sleeps 9 PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING!… Please keep in mind that we are a private home and former goat farm, one of the first homesteads in the valley, surrounded by woods/forest/wildlife, and not a luxury hotel. Charming & rustic historic, hand made log/wood sided cabin and guest hut. King sized custom log bed in upstairs primary bedroom w/ large closet; cowhide/leather queen bed in 1st level BR; 2 twin Old Hickory beds on second level in main home. 2 Old Hickory twins in guest hut, and twin fold-a-way. There is no plumbing in the hut; it does have electric, to include baseboard heaters and a ceiling fan in the vaulted ceiling. It has large windows because it was the weigh station of the Gold King Mine, brought to our property in the 1970’s and completely renovated by us in 2013. The expanded deck with built-in seating was completed in 2021. Guests who stay in the hut must use the main home for bathroom facilities or find a tree. Entire property sleeps a maximum of nine persons and one infant/toddler. (10 humans total.) There is a portable crib, but please bring your own bedding if you plan to utilize it. New hardwood flooring throughout; stainless appliances, butcher block counters, jetted tub in upstairs bath, laundry, aspen tongue & groove ceilings. Large open decks, sun room, side porch. Large rock fireplace w/blower to keep you warm during chilly nights, which can be all year. Newer furnishings mixed with antiques, Native American artifacts, and Colorado Mountain decor; professionally decorated. There is inherited taxidermy throughout, to include: pelts, deer mounts, stuffed fox, cowhides/cowhide furniture, longhorns, feathers on dream catchers, etc… If you are allergic to fur/pet hair/feathers or offended by these items, then this property is not a fit for you. The decor also includes artwork from local and well-known artists. Please do not touch the art or rearrange it. We are a Christian family and recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. You will see many crosses and religious artwork. If you are offended by this, then our property is not a fit for you. Located 30 minutes to ski/snowboard/snowmobile/dog sled/tube/shop/dine/have best Bloody Mary’s at Purgy’s, etc…. at Purgatory Resort; 7-10 minutes to town of Durango; 45 minutes to Mesa Verde; 25 minutes to the Durango airport (DRO). Near and across from Turtle Lake which is privately owned but one may enjoy the views from the Homestead, just a short hike up the hill or beyond the fire pit. One mile to the Colorado Trail; our property includes the Pioneer Trail and is steep, and joins with many miles of other trails but they are not marked, so use a hiking app. We recommend high quality ankle boots for the rocky trails, and always carry bear spray even during hibernation months. Acclimate first to the altitude if arriving from sea level. We own 13 acres for privacy, yet located only 4 miles to all of the restaurants, shopping and amenities that Durango has to offer. Various wildlife visitors: mule deer, elk, mountain lions, turkey, skunks, mice, chipmunks, bears and more! Preventing rodents from entering our property is facilitated utilizing mothballs, so you may smell those, especially in the cold weather months when they are seeking warmth in our interiors. If you are allergic to MOTHBALLS or offended by their smell, this property is not a fit for you. Mothballs are also kept around the exterior of the property which is necessary because it’s in the country. If the smell affects you, then you need to stay at a hotel or a place downtown. PLEASE KEEP THE WINDOWS IN DINING AREA SHUT because we do not have screens by the large picture windows. It was determined that mice were getting in because one window was left cracked open during October 2025, which then got into the guests’ food. Window shut and problem solved! We also just had new siding installed which has further assisted in rodent prevention. DO NOT leave trash outside or in your vehicle. Bears, mountain lions, and other types of furry neighbors have been known to help themselves to these free treats. Your well-behaved, housebroken canines are welcome at no extra charge (they are family!) but please keep them off of the furniture (or at least try, they can be on your lap) and for their safety, don’t let them play unsupervised outside with the skunks or big cats. Dog feeding/water bowls provided. Children should be well-behaved. PLEASE MONITOR YOUR CHILDREN! Hammock, tire swing, hiking trails, large decks, sunroom, covered porch and fire pit for outdoor living and fun for all! Amazing Boulder Garden is next door and may be accessed via the trails. THERE IS NO TV, but one may enjoy movies on a laptop if you must entertain your children or yourselves with a screen. Enjoy the mountains, lakes, rivers, hiking trails, views and all the beauty nature inspires. WIFI in case you need to connect with work while in paradise. Plenty of space for ZOOM classes and meetings at the various seating areas: breakfast bar, dining table, and chairs/tables in every bedroom. WIFI also provided in guest hut. Property is RURAL, on water well/cistern/filter/septic system. ONLY toilet paper may be flushed! (NO feminine products, diapers, "flushable" wipes, etc....) Water is a precious commodity in Southwest Colorado and must be used conservatively. During extreme, prolonged droughts, water pressure may very minimized. In those times, our property is more like “glamping”. There is NOT central air conditioning, only window units and fans, as are most private homes in the area. Summer nighttime temperatures are in the high 40’s-60s! If you are coming during unprecedented heat, please keep this in mind. (Rent a hotel in town if you require “luxury”….AC/TV/bellhop, little bottles of shampoo, etc…) Snow is not guaranteed during the holidays though it is likely. If you do not enjoy living in nature, being close to wildlife, not having a TV, nor residing in a log cabin with a gravel drive and historical outbuildings, then this property is not for you. Guests must take trash to town, as we do not qualify for trash pick up since we do not require week-long rentals and it is strictly a rural-zoned vacation rental. (Bears and other wildlife will break in if you leave your trash behind and therefore you are charged a fee if you do so. ) We love sharing our second home, in the beautiful San Juan Mountains, with respectful guests who appreciate rustic log cabin living surrounded by the National Forest, gorgeous mountains, and Colorado wildlife! Owner is happy to answer any of your questions or clarify any parts of the description by sending a message through VRBO or HomeAway. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Cobblestone flooring in public areas - Gravel flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18960000/18956300/18956277/823a80c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Log Cabin with a Mountain View.

The home is beautifully decorated and so appropriate being in the mountains and woods of Durango. It has everything we needed and more. The beds are very comfortable, and we enjoyed the large deck and outside space, hammock and tire swing. The location is perfect. So close to town yet feels so far away. The stars in the sky are truly amazing out there. It truly was a fabulous week of making memories at a very special place. We all definitely want to return as soon as possible.

Communication with the hosts was easy and they were very responsive. While it’s a rustic log cabin, the cabin is equipped with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The beds were super comfy. Strong WiFi connection. Lots of space for our family of 4 our dog. We loved being able to hike around the cabin and lots of other trails close by. We had daily visits by mule deer, chipmunks and lots of birds. It’s located outside of Durango but just a quick 10-15 minute drive into town and 30 minutes to Purgatory. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Durango. ##### Tawny S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris B. Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise Escape Villa - Relax & spend time Getting Back with Nature!!!! What a treat this gem of a log cabin villa place was. Main cabin (and for all that part, the entire property was an equal) was carefully crafted with all the expectations of what one would expect by hanging out and escaping from the hustle-bustle of the fast-paced world, relaxing and spending time with nature. The furnishings are very “western”, and the kitchen “chuck-wagon” has all that one would need for simple cooking. The enclosed front porch is a nice place to sit having coffee and escaping the cold weather, plus has great view and you might just see some Mule-Deer show up to say “HELLO.” (Suggestion, bring some Deer Corn and spread it around) Side deck has a large wooden table for six with nice wooden chairs and a great view of the mountains as well. Moonless nights, the STAR GAZING IS EXCEPTIONAL!!!! Fire Pit area is just about 50 feet away on the side of the deck, nestled within a grove of trees. There is a trail head on the back of the property for a nice hike which joins up with the Animas Overlook Trail. There are a multitude of trail heads to explore that are close by as well. HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT WHEN HIKING TO TAKE BEAR SPRAY, this is wild country with wild nature and there can be a surprise encounter with Cougar’s as well, rather rare but one does not want to be that one with having a bad day. (only 25 Cougar attacks in CO since 1990 – 96 Bear Attacks since 1960) The owners are very responsive to questions and will even provide suggestions for local events. ##### Chris B.

The lodge decor created the perfect winter retreat atmosphere. The cabin was perfectly equipped for our needs, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy each other's company. We played games both indoor and outdoor. This was the perfect setting for making holiday memories together. We loved being able to sit by fire. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to gather together! ##### Kelsie B. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa M.

The cabin is private and quiet, yet close to town where you can anything you need. The cabin is beautiful, has been decorated by what must be a professional because it is gorgeous! The furniture is not some plastic junk from discount stores. This house is full of top grain leather and top of the Line furniture. This is not a house, but a home. You will feel it the minute you walk in. Hostess is the best and is quick to get back to you. Stay here….i promise you’ll feel right at home. ##### Scott A.
