About this property
Cozy Country Chalet Between Downtown & Ski Resort
Private, cozy and quaint, your chalet in the Animas Valley awaits. With its beautiful mountain views, proximity to downtown Durango and Purgatory Resort, it's the ideal location for your next getaway. This one bedroom plus loft home is perfect for a small family wanting to be close to all Durango has to offer or a couple looking for a romantic retreat. Sitting on 3 acres, there's plenty of room to play outdoor games. Smart TV and high speed internet. Kitchen is stocked with all essentials. There's also a free "library" of books.
This charming home boasts rustic furniture that has been hand crafted using the finest wood from the San Juan National Forest. Gorgeous mountain views right from the front porch. Keurig coffee maker with pods upon your arrival. There are books for people of all ages as well as board games. The kitchen is fully stocked as well. Let this be your home away from home.
Nestled between downtown Durango and Purgatory Ski Resort. Approximately 10 miles away from both. You'll find all that Southwest Colorado has to offer is conveniently located very closely to our location.
Staying in this home ensures a parking space for one passenger vehicle. If you need space for a 2nd vehicle, you just need to contact me in advance and I will make arrangements for you to be able to park that 2nd vehicle.
Anything other than a passenger vehicle (ie - trailer, camper, etc) must also be advised in advance. It can most likely be accommodated but in order to ensure a space, you must let me know in advance.
***Please contact me in advance of booking with pets. There will be an additional $25 pet fee required per dog. I'm sorry but there are no cats allowed. Dogs must be kenneled if kept inside the home alone.
***DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER IN OUR TOILETS. We have a sensitive septic system. Do not flush any wipes (baby wipes, flushable wipes etc) nor any feminine products in our toilets. Doing so will wreak havoc on our septic system and cause you to incur a $500 fine.
***All towles are to remain on site. They are not to be brought to the hot springs or on a hike or used to clean with. If the towels are stained, there will be an additional $25 charge for bath towels, $10 for hand towels, $5 for wash cloths.
***ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES ALLOWED. Your reservation will be cancelled and you will be forced to leave immediately if this rule is not abided by.
***No smoking of any kind is allowed inside the home. Doing so will cause you to incur a $100 fine.
