This little rustic property is just a minute or two away from the reservoir. It’s a lovely place to have a nice quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
This was a great place. We enjoyed feeding the fish. The hot tub was perfect to relax and enjoy the night sky. The cabin itself was very comfy, clean and fully stocked. I didnt want to leave .
This was perfect for our time between camping locations. The cabin was pleasant and the pond with boats gave my kids a chance to play outside while taking a break from our more adventurous camping locations. Sean was a fantastic host and we were sad to leave.
This was such a cozy and quiet property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had all the kitchen tools we needed and the furniture was comfortable and clean.
The property was wonderful. Shawn made sure we had everything we needed and helped us when we texted. Would love to come and stay again! Everyone loved it! The views, the wildlife, the cabin - everything was perfect.
My wife and I had a great little getaway for an evening at the Cabin. It was perfect. Thank you for Shawn and the team for allowing us to enjoy a special evening together.
A beautiful little cabin on a perfect little property!
Our stay was fabulous! It’s quiet and serene and perfect for two for a little getaway to regroup and refresh the soul! Shawn and his family met all our needs onsite and were truly splendid hosts!! The upgrades they continue to make to this little piece of heaven will be fabulous for years to come!! ❤️
We were in Durango for an event for our son and decided to spend our time away from the hustle and bustle of a town. We found this hideaway that was simple but overflowed with the tranquility we were in much need of. The cabin is quaint with all the amenities required to stay without leaving. Shawn ensured the house was fully stocked and upon leaving checked with us to ensure our stay was satisfactory. Definitely a return stay. Beautiful area.
We enjoyed every moment. Shawn and his family were helpful in every aspect. The property and view was beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for more. We will be coming back here again soon
It was nice but unable to enjoy hot tub and outdoors. Another person living in a camping in a tent right across on property. Would have liked to have known prior to staying. Made it uncomfortable and it’s right on the property. They cross over to get to tent 😢
Cabin has everything you need- nothing like a nice kitchen for a home made meal, a good clean shower, and a comfy bed- after spending several days in the mountains. Hot tub was a great perk for sore muscles! Shawn was very helpful with directions and some notes on how to be set up well upon your arrival. They also have beautiful trout in the pond that they provide food to feed them with, my wife and I loved going out in the mornings and dinner time to do that!!

This is a charming little cabin with updated amenities. Shawn and Sarah are attentive to guests needs, providing a very comfy bed, precut firewood for campfires, barbecue grill, fish food for the stocked pond, etc. We went up for the Father's Day weekend, fished in the creek, paddled the canoes on the pond, fed the fish, relaxed in the hottub and by the campfire and never left the property! If I had to give a negative, I would prefer the cabin was a little more secluded, but that's just me:)
