Charming Log Cabin Near Florida River - 20 Min to Downtown Durango - Dogs OK

NOTE: 4WD/AWD required in winter (Thanksgiving through late March).

Enjoy nature at this idyllic Colorado cabin located within a 20 minute drive from Durango. In the mountains across from the Florida river, this is a great location as "base camp" while enjoying all that the Durango area has to offer.

Outside, the deck is a great place to enjoy morning coffee or view the starry night skies from the porch swing.  Fall foliage is spectacular with aspen and other seasonal trees surrounding the home, and winter snow creates a unique mountain getaway at this home. Fishing is a hop, skip and jump away across the road. There are many hiking trails in this area, as well.

Inside, the cabin layout includes a full kitchen, living room with fireplace and streaming TV, dining area.  Both bedrooms and bathroom with walk-in shower are also on the main level. We have plenty of family board games for you to enjoy. The cabin also has a washer/dryer.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King (main level)
2nd Bedroom - Full (main level)

Our home has shared private Florida river access and access to Treasure Island - a shared community recreation area that's perfect for family fishing outings, picnics, and nature adventures. With Vallecito Lake a 15 minute drive, and Lemon Lake 8 minute drive from our home guests have easy access to robust fishing, boating, and paddle boarding opportunities. This home has very limited cell service.

This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay). Pets must be crated if they are left home alone.

Consistent with most Colorado mountain resorts, the home does not offer air-conditioning.

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.

Sales Tax No.The La Plata County Tax Rate is 6.9%

Great Little Log Cabin
This cabin was super clean. The King sized bed and provided pillows were very comfortable (we did not use the bed in the other room). All of the appliances worked perfectly. The cabin was located in a residential neighborhood with well maintained dirt/gravel roads to walk along, and the beautiful Florida River flowed through the neighborhood. We enjoyed daily walks and met several nice neighbors. Linens and towels were good quality. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing soap, clothes detergent, as well as a starter pack of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. We had brought our Netflix password, so were able to watch some movies at night. The wifi worked great, and though the website said cell service was poor, we had no trouble making or receiving calls. My husband is in construction, so was very impressed with the construction of the log cabin - very well built and maintained. And lastly, communication with the property management was superior - good access and immediate response to any inquiries we had. Very nice property. We are thinking of going again!

Great Fall Get Away
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. It was immaculately clean and well appointed. It is convenient to town and the drive is beautiful. My husband and I have had an exhausting year and this home provided us with the respite that we needed away from the hustle and bustle of our lives back in Dallas TX. I would highly recommend this property as great vacation get away.

Charming cabin-needed a few repairs( note was left). VRBO listing stated we would have a sample of local coffee ( no coffee found). VRBO listing stated cabin would have Kleenex. I have allergies and had to drive 20 minutes on mountain roads to purchase Kleenex. We cleaned up after ourselves daily- all towels were laundered before we left. Only sheets had to be washed. We washed and put away all kitchen items. We followed all discharge instructions. We picked up after OUR pet but watched the NEIGHBORS black lab come onto the rental property to do his business with NO neighbor supervision! I don't go on vacation to pick up after someone else's pet!

Beautiful cabin and very comfortable beds.
The cabin was very clean and fully stocked in the kitchen with what ever you may need. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, especially the king bed in the master bedroom. Although the property is a good size and close to a river, there is no access to the river. There is no fishing on the river anywhere close the cabin. It is also next to the main road which was noisey at times. Overall, it was a lovely home.
