Our home also borders a wonderfully entertaining piece of living history; the Durango and Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad where it's fun to sit on the deck or around one of the 2 fire-pits to watch and wave to the train passengers and conductor as it goes chugging by.

Guests will have access to the large driveway for plenty of parking as well as the entire 'backyard'. The only area guests will not have access to is the owner's garage and basement. The driveway is large enough to accommodate a towable trailer.

Laundry room also available for your use.

Welcome to our home!
We’re happy empty-nesters who love to travel, explore, and spend as much time outdoors as possible—whether it’s cooking a great meal, hiking, biking, skiing, camping, or jeeping. Hosting guests gives us the perfect chance to head out on an adventure of our own while you enjoy our place.

Because this is our personal residence—not a dedicated rental—you’ll find it far more comfortable and thoughtfully appointed than the typical short-term-rental. Every space has been curated for daily living, with high-quality touches, a fully equipped kitchen, and several, warm, inviting areas for you to relax and unwind.

If there’s anything you need that isn’t mentioned here, please feel free to reach out—we’ll do our best to make your stay exceptional.

Most of all, relax and enjoy your time in this spectacular location.

✨ Happy Trails! ✨
