About this property

Enjoy the best of both worlds! Tocayo farm, just 10 miles from the heart of Durango, lies in the Florida River Valley. The cottage, which has been completely renovated, was once the blacksmithing shop for the homesteaders who settled here over a hundred years ago. Tocayo is a working farm with both a sheep operation and a commercial vegetable/cut flower garden.

In the main bedroom there is a king size bed and ample closet space. The living area has a fold out futon which can accommodate two kids or one adult. The full bath has a shower tub combo. Enjoy the views from the private back patio with either your morning coffee or while grilling your favorite meal.

While the farm itself is secluded and quiet, the day to day of the sheep operation and market garden make for a bustling environment. The cottage shares a large parking area with the main house which is located nearby.

Possibilities to accommodate people traveling with horses, large trailers or hunters exist. Inquire with owners.

Great anniversary trip!

We were here to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary and visit the many ruins in the area. The cottage was immaculate and perfectly appointed. We had everything we needed and we got to play with Casper the farm dog. The farm was quite and peaceful and was right by the river. We loved it!

Serenity

We were looking for somewhere quiet to relax over Thanksgiving and this cottage fit the bill perfectly! It was so quiet and private that we slept better than we had in years. There was a full kitchen and sitting/eating area and a separate bedroom. We took a walk along the river on the property to a picnic area one morning. At night, we stared up at a billion stars and saw Mars. We would definitely rent the cottage again!

Peaceful Stay in the Country

This place was a gem! It was exactly what I was looking for during my visit to Durango. It was away from the hustle and bustle of downtown yet close enough to get to the venues I visited. The cottage is quaint and cozy and perfect for a singe or a double occupancy. The proprietors are very welcoming and even allow you to walk around the property. The dog will even take you on a tour of the grounds. I was very relaxed while I was there. It was the perfect trip! It was also a great time of year to visit since the fall colors were on full display. Thanks, Sarah, Spencer, and family, for being so welcoming.
