About this property

Only 5 minutes from skiing and less than 30 minutes from downtown, you have the serenity of being up in the mountains, while only being a short drive away from all Durango and Purgatory have to offer. We also offer discounts for extended length stays, message me for more details!

Easy location and convenient

Trip was great. 3 families of old neighbors annual ski trip for new years. We had 11 people and was comfortable to stay. We did wish the couch in lower level was sleeper sofa as two boys slept on couch though they are kids so who really cares. House has great natural lighting. You do need 4wd in winter. We had no snow and base of mountain was only 20” so slopes were a bit dicey but again nothing to do with house. We’d definitely stay here again and working with owner and communication there was great.

Exquisit

Loved the layout and beauty of the home and the area. Sledding on the property. Plenty of space. The pictures don’t do this place justice. We will be back.

Great Stay!

My family and I stayed for a month and had the best time. We were immediately comfortable in the house and really appreciated things like Morgan providing enough baby gates to keep our 16 month old from going up/down the many stair cases on the main floor. The house is also located near a beautiful trailhead that you can get to from the neighborhood, which we walked a few times a week. Morgan was incredibly responsive to all my questions and checked in with me a few times during our stay. We would definitely stay in this home again.

What a beautiful soul restoring property!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at this property. It had everything we needed and then some. I'd love the ability to return one day. If I could give the property 6 stars for the aspens I would. We travelled with a 2 year old, 8 year old, 10 year old, 11 year old, and some 40 something year olds over my birthday weekend. They had kid toys, an amazing hide and seek house. Well appointed kitchen, maybe the best we've come across in all of our VRBOs, and such a beautiful place. Comfy beds and plenty of space. Would definately recommend you book this property!

Absolutely beautiful Home!

It is so beautiful! The surroundings are like being in the forest, we even heard a bobcat growling! The home is stunning, beautiful and comfortable! We didn't need or want for anything, the only thing is the stairs are pretty steep and we had a 14 mo but the owner was kind enough to purchase baby gates for our stay! Morgan is super nice and responsive and caring! Would stay there again! Thank you again Morgan!!

About the host

Hosted by morgan bohannan

Hi! I'm Morgan... My husband Brandon and I live in Texas with our 3 kiddos, but have a love for the mountains. We've been blessed to find and renovate an amazing house in Durango and it seemed like too good of a place not to share!

Why they chose this property

This is an amazing property that back up against the San Juan national forest in a small quiet neighborhood 5 minutes from Purgatory resort and an easy beautiful drive to downtown Durango. The views are absolutely breathtaking, with Elbert Creek running in the backyard and a picture perfect view of the mountains out front, it's the perfect spot to be tucked up into and escape from the stresses of everyday life.
