Wonderful farmhouse!
A perfect place to stay and explore the Durango area! Wonderful farmhouse close to downtown Durango that can be used as a home base to see Mesa Verde and all the other places to visit in the area. We loved hearing the Durango/Silverton train whistle echo across the property and the wild turkeys that came though most mornings. Magical place!

Best Part of Our Visit
Very nice home. We loved having the fireplace in the living room for a couple of rainy days and chilly evenings. The location was perfect for viewing deer, turkeys and the occasional fox.

“A charming Victorian farmhouse” it is, and wonderfully so.
The farmhouse is all we hoped for, and the setting is beautiful in the most Southwesternly way possible, looking out on the Animas River Valley with its Colorado-red cliffs and open-to-the-universe skies. The host is near enough to be honestly attentive to all we needed.

Victorian Farmhouse
The setting was beautiful. The king bed was very comfortable. It was a little warm, but I knew before hand there was no air conditioning. It was very Victorian, quaint decorations and lots of decorative pillows :). I had my dog with me, coming from Phoenix she loved the grass!! It was a perfect starting point to everything we wanted to do.

Great Alternative to Staying in a Hotel
Comfortable, rustic farmhouse that is conveniently located minutes from downtown Durango. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the decor is quaint. The only con was that when the windows were opened in the evenings to cool the house down there was road noise. This would not be an issue in cooler or winter months.

A lovely, peaceful place to stay
The farmhouse is a lovely, quaint property located below the Hermosa cliffs in the Animas river valley. We were very comfortable and had a lovely time. The owner/hostess was very helpful and nice and we intend on returning here in the future.

Beautiful property
Its a beautiful area and the owner was right on top of responding to my messages. The only thing that i am bummed about was we drove 19 hrs and were counting on the hot tub to relax in only to get there and see a sign that said "Hot tub out of commission." The house was clean and nicely decorated and no complaints there accept we did have to wash the dishes before we could use them. Not sure if they had been in dishwasher and didn't get ran and put away mistakenly. Anyway, all in all it was a nice place with beautiful scenery.

Lovely Place
Quiet, beautiful views, yet still close to Durango shopping, events & the D&SNG train experience. The Farmhouse was clean & charming. Owner was only an email or text away for questions. Full kitchen allowed us to cook & washer/dryer allowed us to stay ahead of laundry. We will definitely consider any of Lana’s properties in the future.

Beautiful Old Farmhouse
Stayed here several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed our visit then. This time around did not disappoint. Loved sitting out on the patio in the cool mornings under the oak trees listening to the Durango/Silverton train whistle blowing as it moved North. The house is close to town but not too close. Quiet and peaceful and enjoyed the ambiance of the old farmhouse.

Perfect stay
House and grounds perfect for us. Private setting, great stars at night, wonderful wildlife to see in yard - including deer, foxes, blue jays and doves. Well equipped kitchen. House is on an attractive country road just 2 miles from Durango city limit with beautiful mountain views in just about every direction. Owner was pleasant and helpful in email and telephone communications. Owner provided information for WiFi, cable and home systems was complete and easy to understand. We look forward to returning in the future!

Excellent Experience in Durango
The house is charm and the decoration is quite unique. My family and I spent very good time during 2022 Dec holidays. Great hub for Ski and other outdoor activities. Kids spent good time outdoor in the same property sliding and making snowman. The kitchen is very comfortable and have all tools available, bathroom is big and comfortable too. Mrs. Lana, the manager, is outstanding taking care you experience real vacation time... she even goes and take care of the trash can logistic and others. Highly recommended.

Nothing but praise for your vacation rental.
Dear Lana: My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the farm house. Your house and property were immaculate. The Animas Valley setting was totally Colorado. On the first morning my son took a bike ride on CR 250 to/from Bakers Bridge. He saw 3 deer, caught his first rainbow trout in the Animas and saw a black bear on his way back to the farm house. All before 7:00 AM. No better way to begin a vacation. Our week's vacation was truly memorable. Can't wait to return to one of your properties. Brad. Sent on: 13 August, 2014

Perfect get away spot!!
We were fortunate to be able to spend 11 nights at The Farmhouse in early May 2019. What a fabulous spot to unwind, relax and soak in all the beautiful surroundings! The Farmhouse itself is warm, cozy and spotless. Lana, the owner, has made sure that everything you need for a stress free get-away is right at your finger tips....from comfortable beds to a fully equipped kitchen to an inviting hot tub! (Sadly, we did not use the hot tub due to my asthma). It was awesome to be able to have coffee on the patio in the morning and listen to the birds!! We also ate most of our dinners there, as well, to be able to watch the beautiful sunset over the mountains. Simply lovely. Five stars is not enough of a rating! As my Mother would say "This is a 10 star place".!!

Country Cottage
This is an old home with funky additions and creaky leaning floors but surprisingly clean and neatly updated. We were very comfortable there, having plenty of room to put away our stuff, and stock the kitchen for our week stay. I was concerned that an old house like that would have cold bedrooms when temps dipped near zero but the heater kept up fine. The gas fireplace in the front room throws out a lot of heat making for a cozy evening there. The kitchen was outfitted with most any dish, utensil and appliance you could want, so fixing meals was just like at home. There was basic satellite TV, and decent wifi we were able to stream some shows with a chromecast I brought along. Access to Durango is an easy drive along the county road where the house is located. During the snowstorm while we were there I noted that the road was cleared and sanded promptly, as well as the home's driveway so no concerns of being stuck there. Traffic in front of the house is light and can't be readily heard inside. This home checked all the boxes for us and for a quiet stay I would highly recommend it.
