About this property
Cozy Cottage perfect for a couple or small family
This cozy cottage is just minutes from downtown Durango as well as two miles from Lake Nighthorse which is a lovely large recreational lake. The well appointed layout of this newly remodel space has a large downstairs bedroom, a gabled upstairs area that can accommodate an extra guest or can be used as an office. The kitchen opens up into a spacious dining area as well as a living room with a large screen TV and a sleeper sofa, that sleeps 2. The full bath includes a full bath and show, and a combination washer/dryer unit, prefect for small loads, while traveling. If you are looking to sit outside and enjoy the sunset dipping behind the mountains you have your own private side patio, if it is chilly out the sun room is a great place to relax. Enjoy all Durango has to offer with hiking, paddle boarding, mountain biking and whitewater all within 10 minutes of this great setting. This is a classic mother-in-law space that shares a wall with the main house.

Great property outside of town. Quiet neighborhood and great host. Bed was comfortable and everything was stocked above and beyond. You can tell a lot of thought goes into making their guests comfortable!
We were very satisfied with our stay. Cottage was very clean. Area was quiet and peaceful surroundings. I would stay there again if I was going to Durango.
Everything worked extremely well and the accommodations were just great for our trip. Quiet, fully stocked, easy to access and close to town. We would not hesitate to return in the future.
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!
Very clean and well equipped with everything you would need for a stay. The bed was so comfortable. Just a few minutes from Durango. We would highly recommend.

This is a cute little cottage nestled in the mountains. We saw deer every morning outside the kitchen window.
I would definitely come back.
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.
About 10 minutes from Durango so the stars were amazing. Lovely place, very clean and Kristin had everything we needed in kitchen and bathroom. Highly recommend.
Just a short 2 night stay in Durango. House was clean and had great coffee choices. Love that they had Ryze mushroom coffee. House was clean and just as described. Great internet service with Starlink. Only suggestion would be better porch lights. Solar porch lights didn’t really give off any light.
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.
The property is very clean and the location is quiet and peaceful. This is our second stay at this location and we would definitely recommend staying here.
Just as advertised--cozy and perfect for a couple or small family. Well-appointed place, we really enjoyed our stay here in the the lovely, quiet setting outside of Durango.
