You'll love the seclusion and large yard this beautifully remodeled vacation home offers. Whether your group consists of two small families or two couples, seniors, parents visiting their student at nearby Fort Lewis College, or you simply want a basecamp for your outdoor adventure getaway, this lovely Durango home offers an excellent balance of peace and quiet and mountain activity. Set back off the road just one mile from downtown Durango and nestled in the San Juan Mountains at the southern tip of the Rockies, this fresh and clean rental provides you the privacy you want on vacation with an abundance of fun outdoor options, as well as dining and shopping.

The bright interior with an open floor plan and high ceilings creates a cheerful environment for you to gather and enjoy the company of your guests. Fresh, white paint and glossy wood floors throughout make this home sparkle. An added bonus is the owner's framed paintings and photography hung throughout. Lounge on the comfortable sofas in the living room, one of which features recliners at either end. Warm up by the gas fireplace as you catch up on your favorite cable shows on the large TV, mounted above the fireplace. The large west-facing picture window in this room provides plenty of natural light and impressive views of the La Plata Mountains and surrounding hills.

The brand-new kitchen features tile flooring, all new stainless appliances that include a dishwasher, and lovely wood cabinets. Create delicious meals in this kitchen that has everything you need without feeling like you're missing out on the fun, thanks to the half wall with a breakfast bar between the kitchen and living room. If you want a break from cooking inside, whip up a scrumptious meal on the gas grill on the patio and enjoy the clean mountain air as you and your guests kick back, relax, and catch up. This lovely house sleeps up to six guests, and with all new beds and new bedding, you'll be sleeping in style. You'll find a king-size bed in the first bedroom and a queen-size bed in the second. The third bedroom is great for kids with a full/twin bunk combo. The bathroom is new and nicely done. This home also offers a washer and dryer in the hallway for your added convenience.

Check out the bike path at the bottom of the driveway or the mountain bike trail that runs into Horse Gulch just a quarter-mile down the road. For those who want to venture further out, explore all the wonders of San Juan National Forest. A multitude of hiking, rafting, and fishing options are available, either on your own or with guides, and don't forget about the Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum. In the winter, hit the slopes at Chapman Hill Municipal Ski Area (a little over two miles away) or Purgatory Resort, which is 28 miles away. And of course, you'll want to explore downtown Durango for shopping and dining out.
