About this house rental

Escape to a private mountain retreat on 13 acres of towering ponderosa pines with beautiful mountain and Lake Nighthorse views just outside Durango. Surrounded by nature yet close to the recreation and attractions that make Southwest Colorado special, this spacious getaway offers an ideal setting for families and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore, relax, and reconnect.
​​​​​​​
The property provides plenty of room to roam, with peaceful forest surroundings, mountain scenery, and opportunities to watch and listen for local wildlife. Spend your days hiking, rafting, kayaking, zip-lining, downhill skiing, or soaking in the nearby hot springs, then return home to enjoy the quiet of your own private mountain setting. From the property, take in spectacular views of Lake Nighthorse and the surrounding landscape, especially as the sun sets over the Rocky Mountains.

Inside, the entire home was renovated in 2022 with a brand-new kitchen, bathrooms, and furnishings. The bright interior and comfortable design create a welcoming place to gather after a day of adventure. Relax on the plush furniture, watch a movie together, or step outside onto the balcony with your favorite drink and enjoy the views. The grill provides an easy option for preparing dinner while taking in the peaceful alpine surroundings.

The sophisticated kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals at home, with a gas range, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything needed for everyday cooking. Whether you're making breakfast before heading out for the day or preparing dinner for the whole family, the kitchen provides a comfortable and functional space to gather.

The bedrooms are spacious and comfortably furnished, with plenty of room for personal belongings. The primary bedroom features a king-size bed, private TV, and a dedicated workspace with a desk and chair, making it a comfortable option for remote work or catching up on emails during your stay. The en suite bathroom offers a double-sink vanity and a walk-in steam shower, providing a relaxing way to unwind after a day spent outdoors.

There's plenty to keep everyone entertained without leaving the property. Explore the acreage, challenge one another to a game of bean bag toss, or settle in for a family game night with dozens of board games and puzzles, including classic Nintendo games. With expansive outdoor space and comfortable gathering areas inside, the home offers plenty of opportunities to spend quality time together.

When you're ready to explore beyond the property, Lake Nighthorse provides opportunities for water-based recreation, while the surrounding Durango area offers hiking, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, skiing, and other year-round adventures. Head into town to enjoy Durango's restaurants, shops, breweries, and local attractions, or visit the nearby hot springs for a relaxing afternoon.

Please note that 4WD or AWD is required to access the property during winter months, December through March.
With 13 private acres, spectacular Lake Nighthorse and mountain views, a fully renovated interior, gourmet kitchen, spacious primary suite with steam shower, private balcony, and plenty of space for family fun, this retreat offers a peaceful Colorado escape with easy access to everything that makes Durango such a memorable destination.

8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
The house is gorgeous. The view is stunning. The road to get to the house is unpaved and very bumpy; thankful we had an SUV. There is one large (master) bedroom upstairs, with a bathroom. On the main level is a bedroom with twin beds and a bathroom. On the lower level there are 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed; you have to walk thru one to get to the other. Washer/dryer down there too. The water pressure for the showers was terrible, esp in the basement. The towels were old and thin. All the sheets were pilled so they felt scratchy. Other than that, everything was fine. The shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided smelled amazing. This was too far from town for us, which was my fault because I didn't realize that when I booked it. Once you get to the house, you don't want to leave because the roads are too rough.
