La Plata View is a cozy, comfortable retreat with a relaxing living area and plenty of space for guests. Visitors consistently found the home clean and appreciated its peaceful, private setting. The location offers convenient access to downtown while remaining tucked away from the bustle. Sweeping mountain views, snowy La Platas, colorful sunsets, and memorable sunrises create a beautiful backdrop. Guests also enjoyed the kitchen and the convenience of the washer and dryer.

Overview

Enjoy the best of both worlds at La Plata View, a peaceful Durango retreat with beautiful views of the La Plata Mountains, a large grassy yard, and a quiet setting just about one mile from downtown. Watch for deer wandering through the yard, take in the mountain scenery, and return home to a comfortable space after a day exploring Southwest Colorado.

Whether you're visiting Durango for an outdoor adventure, exploring the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, visiting Fort Lewis College, or simply looking for a relaxing mountain getaway, La Plata View offers a convenient home base with easy access to everything Durango has to offer.

The bright, open living area features high ceilings, wood floors, comfortable seating, and a gas fireplace for cozy evenings. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light and showcase the surrounding mountain views. After a day of exploring, settle in with a movie on the TV or simply relax and enjoy the scenery from the comfort of the living room.

The updated kitchen is well equipped for preparing everything from a quick breakfast before heading out for the day to a relaxed dinner at home. Stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, ample counter space, and a breakfast bar make the kitchen both functional and connected to the main living area. When you'd rather dine outside, step onto the patio and fire up the gas grill while enjoying the fresh mountain air.

La Plata View offers three comfortable bedrooms and sleeps up to six guests. The home provides a combination of king, queen, and additional beds to accommodate families, couples traveling together, or small groups looking for more space than a hotel can provide. A full bathroom serves the home, along with a washer and dryer for added convenience.

One of the highlights of La Plata View is the peaceful outdoor setting. The large grassy yard provides room to relax, enjoy the mountain scenery, and keep an eye out for local wildlife, including deer that frequently visit the property. The patio offers another place to enjoy the outdoors, whether you're starting the morning with coffee, grilling dinner, or watching the mountains change throughout the day.

La Plata View is tucked away in a quiet setting while remaining conveniently close to downtown Durango. You're about one mile from downtown's restaurants, shops, and attractions, with easy access to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the area's many outdoor adventures. Spend the day hiking, biking, skiing, sightseeing, or exploring the San Juan Mountains, then return to a peaceful retreat where you can slow down and enjoy the views.

With mountain views, a private yard, a comfortable living space, a fully equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, patio, grill, washer and dryer, WiFi, and free parking, La Plata View offers a comfortable Durango basecamp for guests who want convenient access to town and outdoor adventures without giving up the peace and scenery of a mountain getaway.

I wanted to voice my concerns privately but I could not hit submit without a public review. The house is dated but very clean. The internet is unusable at 1.8MB/S speed. TV remotes and TV were not setup for use prior to arrival.

The house is in a great location, close to downtown and to get around the Durango area. Set back from the road and quiet with a great view!

The house was quiet and higher up with a great view of the snowy LaPlatas. It is also minutes from from downtown.

It was tucked away so nicely in the mountain side so you feel secluded but still close to everything. We loved the home and had the best time. The WiFi barely worked which was fine with us since we like to be “off grid” but that’s the only negative I can think of for someone else: great home! Thank you!!

There are pros and cons with this property. The view was great, sits up high, the location is great, especially if you have a son or daughter attending Fort Lewis. But there are also some drawbacks, especially in colder weather where you dont get to enjoy the benefits of the outdoors or view it offers. Finding the place was difficult, Google and Waze maps get it wrong, Apple maps gets it right, but they call it a different address. Parking is very restricted and there is limited turn around space, so if you have multiple vehicles, families, or people coming, make sure you plan and view the parking arrangement. For colder/wet weather, the lower parking stairs ice up and there is no lighting, so be careful. The house appears to have a rodent problem, there are multiple rodent traps in the house and also multiple wall plugins for ultra-sonic rodent devices. The house is older and furnishings are data, yes its cozy, but almost too cozy and lived in. Lots of rules and your lower neighbors are watching you in case you decide to break any rules, they will let the homeowner know, which is stated in your check-in instructions. Internet wasnt great, slighting confusing due to 2 different wifi options, Verizon 5G we found was better than the CenturyLink internet. The amenities were good, pots, pans, silverware, all kitchen stuff was great, including the dishwasher and various spices, cleaners, soap, etc. Inside is a little beat up and could use some TLC, I get it, its a rental, but it needs some maintenance. Bedrooms were spacious, plenty of towels. I believe this would be a great place during the warmer weather, needs a few tweaks for the colder weather. I would consider renting again in the warmer weather, but the steep driveway and parking would having me questioning my decision and who was staying. I hope the homeowner considers all of the other feedback I left and make some adjustments. I know how hard it can be to maintain a vacation rental, so I dont want this to be a negative review, but I also dont want it to be positive, its a neutral and honest review, which is why its getting a 3.
