Straw Bale, Solar Powered Cabin in Wooded Setting - Pets OK

**Book Today for Only $300 Down at the Time of Booking ***

Our peaceful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom single-level home features an open living concept, country kitchen, laundry room covered porch and open patio. The Pine Meadow Cabin, located between Durango and Bayfield, is close to Vallecito & Lemon Lakes, a gorgeous mountain recreation area with boating, fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, four-wheeling and more.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King Bed (Main Floor)
2nd Bedroom - King Bed (Main Floor)

Our home's architecture, which uses strawbales as structural elements, is optimal for the arid southwest landscape, helping insulate the home in the winter and keep it cool in the summer. Consistent with most Colorado mountain destinations, the home does not offer air-conditioning. There is a washer/dryer in this home.

This is a mountain home on a well. Most guests prefer to bring bottled water for drinking due to the high mineral content. There is no cell service located at this property. There is a landline and WiFi calling works.

This home is appx 30 minutes to downtown Durango, 30 minutes to Vallecito Marina, and 55 minutes to Purgatory ski resort.

In winter (November through April), 4WD is required. It is NECESSARY that you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, vehicles with medium to high clearance and winter/snow tires.  Although the roads and driveway are well-maintained, they are very steep and curvy, and will be snow packed and slick.

This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).

Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

Cancellation Policy: A non-refundable payment of $300 is required at the time of booking. This $300 payment is applied toward the total amount due and is only refundable within 72 hours of the time of the booking is made. If your arrival date is within 30 days of booking, payment in full is required at the time of booking. Cancellations or changes to stay dates, including changes that result in a shortened stay, are not permitted within 30 days of arrival, and any such changes will result in a penalty. Cancellations or changes that are made within thirty (30) days of the arrival date, forfeit the entire reservation amount while cancellations made more than thirty (30) days in advance of your arrival only forfeit the $300 payment made at the time of booking. For reservations that are at least thirty (30) nights, the cancellation policy above increases to sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date. We do offer travel insurance.

Winter Vacation dream!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was super cozy and just what we needed for a small family getaway with our toddler. It was quiet but had nearly everything we needed. We would definitely recommend it!
