A-frame 10 Min to Downtown Durango

Welcome to our charming A-frame cabin, that we’ve loving named The Whimsy. This cozy retreat boasts a huge back porch and beautiful decor. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes while enjoying the convenience of being just minutes away from downtown. Whether you seek tranquility or adventure, our cabin is the perfect haven. Book your stay now and experience the best of Durango’s natural wonders and city attractions.
The space
The Whimsy A-frame sits on 3 beautiful wooded acres located in Southern Colorado just 10 min from downtown Durango, 40 min to Purgatory Ski Resort, 40 min to Mesa Verde National Park, and 1 hr to Pagosa Springs. Our newly built home was thoughtfully designed to create a cozy basecamp for all of your adventures

Winter:
4WD is required during winter months (Nov - Feb). The road will be plowed after 5” of snow but it is always best to make sure you have chains or 4WD just in case.

Access: as a heads up, like many homes in Colorado, our home is .7 miles up a dirt road!!

Living Space:
The Whimsy A-Frame is 800 Square feet with an open and airy floor plan! Our full size kitchen has a compact yet spacious retro fridge and freezer, pots & pans, electric stove, microwave, toaster, Keurig and pods, and other cooking essentials (olive oil, salt, pepper, spoons, cups, silverware, etc.). The living and dining area are large enough to fit all 6 guests with plenty of extra space. There is a TV above the fireplace that doubles as a picture when not in use!


Beds:
On the lower level there is one bedroom with a queen size bed and a stackable washer/dryer in the closet. The living room sofa pulls out to make a comfy queen size bed. Linen for the pull out bed can be found in the “hidden storage” next to the couch. The loft bedroom has a king size bed and a working desk in case you need to work remote! Both bedrooms have their own mini split system so you can control the temperatures in your room independently! All beds have memory foam mattresses and high-quality linens to ensure a great nights sleep!


Bath:
There is one full size bath on the lower level that is stocked with hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. All towels are freshly-washed right before your stay. There is a tub and shower combo that has a foldable door to make bath time a breeze for kiddos!


Internet:

We have a designated workspace in the loft and high speed internet to the house. Network and Password will be shared after booking!


Outdoor Living:
Our outdoor spaces offer two great experiences for your stay! Enjoy coffee on the front porch with a mountain view or relax and unwind by the fire-pit on the large outdoor deck overlooking the trees!


Parking/Neighborhood Info:
There is ample free parking on the site! The home is located on a private easement shared with one other neighbor. Because of this, there is almost no traffic on that road! We do ask that you be courteous of our neighbors and stick to the posted speed limit while driving to our home!


Additional Info:
Septic: We are on a septic system so we ask that you don’t flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet!!

Fires:
We ask that you stick to using the fire pit and have no open fires on the land!
Guest access
You will have access to the entire space and land.

This house was beautiful. Porch and Deck have wonderful views. I am very picky on cleanliness, and this house met my high standards. Linens were clean and beds were comfortable, extra linens were available and well organized. Bathroom was clean and shower worked well. Kitchen was well stocked. We loved that the doors opened to the gorgeous front view and expanded the living area. The deck furniture is well maintained and the sitting area was very comfortable. My children loved looking out at the stars. Getting in to town was simple. The road was freshly graded on day 2 of our stay following rain, dirt road was no issue. Overall, would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is beautiful, cozy, and very clean overall. The kitchen and bathrooms were spotless, and we loved the interior.The only issue we had was with the bedding. When I pulled back the comforter on the king bed the first night, the sheets had several very noticeable dark stains (see photo). They may have been clean but permanently stained, but they didn't give us confidence, and I wasn't comfortable sleeping on them for the rest of our stay. We also found a yellow stain on the mattress protector of the downstairs queen bed the morning we were leaving, which made my daughters uncomfortable.Other than the bedding, everything else about the cabin was great. Replacing the stained sheets and mattress protector would make this an easy five-star stay.
