About this house rental
Enjoy an upscale mountain getaway just four miles west of Durango at this beautiful cabin-style home in the Falls Creek area. With three bedrooms, stunning views of Turtle Lake and the surrounding mountains, and easy access to hiking and town, this home offers a peaceful retreat with the comforts and amenities you'll appreciate after a day of exploring Southwest Colorado. The spacious setting is well suited to three couples, one or two families, or guests looking for a relaxing mountain escape.
Located in a somewhat secluded setting with several neighboring homes nearby, the property puts you close to some of the area's best outdoor adventures. The Colorado Trail trailhead is about one mile away, making it easy to head out for a morning hike or a full day on the trail. Purgatory Resort is approximately 29 miles away, offering downhill skiing and snowboarding in winter as well as hiking and other mountain activities during the warmer months. In the fall, enjoy the colorful foliage throughout the surrounding mountains, while spring brings wildflowers to the area.
When you're ready to explore Durango, you'll find plenty to discover just a short drive away. Visit the Animas Museum, take a ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, catch a show at the historic Henry Strater Theatre, or spend an afternoon exploring the town's restaurants and shops.
Inside, vaulted wood-plank ceilings, log walls, and a wood-burning slate-rock fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Gather in the comfortable living area for a movie on cable TV, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Large windows bring the mountain setting indoors, while the spacious deck provides an ideal place to take in views of Turtle Lake and the surrounding ridges and foothills.
The full kitchen features stainless steel appliances and everything you need to prepare meals at home. When you're in the mood for an outdoor dinner, fire up the gas grill and enjoy a barbecue on the deck while taking in the scenery. Free WiFi makes it easy to look up recipes, stay connected, or plan your next adventure, and a private stacked washer and dryer add convenience throughout your stay.
With three bedrooms and a comfortable mountain setting close to both Durango and the area's outdoor recreation, this Falls Creek retreat offers a relaxing place to gather, recharge, and experience the best of Southwest Colorado.

This home has a great deck overlooking the lake and mountains. Every little thing in this home is carefully designed. Only suggestion from my end is if the mattresses can be upgraded with newer ones .

The Hawk House is set in a beautiful location with stunning views. We were entertained by lots of wildlife on the property. The kitchen was very well stocked, and the sitting and eating areas were perfect! There were many day trip opportunities, and while we couldn't take advantage of all of them, we visited Mesa Verde National Park, drove the Million Dollar Highway, visited the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, and spent time at the Nighthorse Reservoir.

The house is beautiful - we really loved the epic porch - perfect to sipping your morning coffee or tea! The western sun does hit the porch hard up until the sun goes down, but then it cools off pretty quickly again. Know there is no AC - so close your windows before 9 to keep the heat from getting in!
The sheer number of light switches was amazing and confusing - we should have had the kids go around to identify which switches powered which lights! None of us had any issues with the beds (couple of reviews mentioned they were hard), I was in the upstairs queen bedroom and one night i put the box fan into the window to bring in the outside air - it was amazing.
This house is managed by Vacasa - after I had booked it on VRBO as a three bedroom, I was contacted by them and it was quite easy to work with them. NOTE - the downstairs bedroom/studio is an open concept with full kitchen and the couch is a pullout. Since we had rented the whole house, we unlocked the staircase doors so we could go between internally instead of outside. I'm sending some notes directly to Vacasa for improvements, but will definitely stay here again! We saw a bunch of deer, but no other wildlife for us.

Awkward check in (no keys to downstairs) and a big empty space where tv in main room supposed to be. Beautiful location and house we but all had complaints about our mattresses. Maybe an upgrade in that area will match rest of house. Can’t beat the views though!!!!
