Fantastic Stay

Loved staying at the "Barn". The home was very comfortable, and provided the perfect space for us as we enjoyed the holidays with family who live in Durango. The location is a perfect mix of closeness to town and the ski slopes while still feeling remote.

Charming cottage in lovely setting

We enjoyed every day at the Barn. The home was well appointed with all the necessary amenities. We loved the view from the porch and the quiet of a rural setting. So cozy for two and our dog. Thank you for making the Barn a home away from home.

The barn is located in a beautiful setting with a sizable lawn, nice variety of trees, and gorgeous mountain views. We saw a fox running through the property one morning, which was neat to see. Although the temps were warm during the day, it cooled off nicely in the evenings for sleeping with the windows open. We liked that each bedroom had its own bathroom and the appliances in the kitchen were good quality. We always appreciate nice properties like this being pet friendly as well.

Amazing property!

We had a wonderful, relaxing time at the Barn! The home was clean and cozy, and the kitchen was well stocked with the essential utensils. The location was very convenient, just outside of town. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful memories made in a winter wonderland!

We enjoyed our time here so much! The house had everything we needed and was the prefect place for my little family of four to reconnect and make some magical memories. Lana and her family were so sweet and accommodating! We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Getaway

Met all our expectations. Not too far from town but far enough to get away. Love all the extra touches we found upon arrival. Would definitely recommend and if in the area again top on my list for accommodations.

Quaint and peaceful barn

What a great property! We absolutely enjoyed our stay. We found ourselves outside quite a bit enjoying the property and surrounding views. Inside it was stocked with everything we needed and was laid out efficiently. I think the only downside was both beds were quite squeaky- we all apparently move a lot in our sleep.

Fabulous spot

The Barn was perfect for me and my little dog. Quiet, and gives a feeling of being in the country, yet still close to town and activities. Lana and her family could not be nicer. There is clearly a reason why she is a “Premier Host.” Overall, a very comfortable stay. Looking forward to a return.

Cute, cozy and quiet!

The property is located just out of town so it was pretty quiet but it was close to anything you would need. We used the covered tennis court to practice pickle ball every morning. We used the grill almost every night. It was nice to sit on the porch, enjoy the sunrise, sunset and the trains in the distance.

Peaceful, perfect location

The Barn was the perfect property for me, my spouse, and our two pups. The grounds are so well kept, and inside we had all the comforts of home … we loved it! The views are incredible and the location was just right … just a few minutes drive into downtown Durango, but away from it all. We could see the stars at night and hear the crickets chirping. It was bliss! We will definitely seek out one of Lana‘s properties if we ever come back that way! She is an excellent hostess!
