A Comfortable Stay

The cozy cottage was perfect for our stay. Beds were comfortable, the place was clean and well stocked and we enjoyed being away from the town and seeing wildlife. Kristin was a wonderful host and seemed to think of everything when it came to the cottage. We'll definitely be going back!

Perfect Spot

Kristin and Sean’s place is peaceful, clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. We felt welcomed and loved returning there after our day trips. It’s a perfect location: quiet but only 10 minutes drive to downtown Durango.

Pretty Home Away from Home

Comfortable and pretty little cottage/mother in law house with views of the forest. Quiet neighborhood and house had everything my family needed to enjoy a few days away in Durango CO. A short drive to the Durango but tucked away in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom and watching the deer graze.

Summer vacay

We were Texans escaping the heat and this places was absolutely perfect. Set outside of town on a beautiful piece of property it was absolutely serene. This place was exquisite. It was absolutely spotless and extremely eco-friendly which we absolutely loved. The hosts were extremely accommodating for some of our requests and for that we greatly appreciated it.. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the city of Durango!!!

A slice of paradise

This place is perfect! It attaches to the house next to the garage so there is no noise from the house and we had privacy. Kristin has taken care of every detail. Everything was clean with great organic products to use. This is only about 10 minutes from town, but feels quiet, remote, and secluded. I would highly recommend this lovely little cottage!

Dream Stay!

Lake Nighthorse Cottage was literally a dream, slept well on very comfy mattress. Perfect property for a couple, situated to explore Mesa Verde (pre-reservations required for ALL ranger-guided cliff dwelling tours). If you plan on cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, grocery stores (including natural/health food market options) are within a 15 minute drive in Durango. Kristin was an exemplary host! The fingerling fries at James Ranch Grill are a must try. Check out the poignant Tour of Carvings in nearby Vallecito Lake commemorating the devastating 2002 forest fire.
