About this property

Luxury Cabin, Glamping Barn & Tipi, 1/3 mi creek, trout pond & swimming hole

Staying at The Roberta Barr is a one of a kind Colorado experience. Inside & out it is rustic perfection. Rentals are on a very limited basis.

The property is named for the woman who lived here for 75 years & who was an important figure in the Durango community. The Roberta Barr has been renown throughout the Animas River Valley for many years.

The Roberta Barr includes a beautifully restored historic 1930s log cabin with king bed, glamping Honey House barn with hanging king bed & two twin loft beds & comfy Sioux tepee with queen bed. The cabin is furnished with the utmost regard to quality, taste & detail.

The 8 acre park like setting includes beautiful manicured & natural areas. The property is bordered by 1/3 mile of the Hermosa Creek & boasts a good sized trout pond. The property also has a large clear water natural swimming hole. There are over 120 fruit trees throughout the property including cherry, apple, pear, peach, plum, apricot & a large raspberry patch.

Owners Alice & Eric Foultz are long-time 2nd homeowners in Durango. During bicycle rides they would visit with Roberta, who in her late 90's would sit on her front porch & say hello to those walking or biking past her amazing historic rose & perennial flower gardens. Sensing how special this property was naturally & emotionally to those in the community, Alice & Eric purchased the property in 2014 making a commitment to restore it to Roberta's former glory & beyond.

The Cabin was not just remodeled but it has been taken to the highest end of luxury & comfort. The historic structure remains intact, but the the interior has been remodeled & decorated by highly acclaimed architect & interior designer.

Roberta's rose & perennial flower gardens have been considered the finest in the Animas Valley & we work hard to maintain & exceed her standard.

The Roberta Barr is ideally located 10 miles north of Durango's Historic District & 15 miles south of the Purgatory Ski area.

The village of Hermosa is walking distance & includes a restaurant, convenience store & liquor store.

Just 2 miles from the property is PJ's Gourmet Market, Dalton Ranch Golf Club & Durango Hot Springs & Spa. James Ranch Grill & Farm to Table Market is only 1 mile away.
