Beautiful, peaceful and wanted to stay longer

We had the most relaxing enjoyable time at this lodge like house. It had enough space for us to have space but also family areas we could watch movies or play games. We love the chickens and the farm fresh eggs are such a wonderful treat. We had fun feeding the chickens and visiting with the Mules. The interior is decorated beautifully and the clawfoot bathtub in the master is Divine! We hot-tubbed at night and saw all the stars. It was exactly what this family with our adult children needed to reconnect and re charge. Chad the host is so lovely he made us feel like family. We will be back. Thank you!!

Wedding Week

This property was everything and more! We had our son’s wedding in Durango and needed space for us and my son’s groomsmen and this was perfect. Chance is the perfect host with great communication and flexibility for us to host a few larger wedding party dinners. We would highly recommend this big beautiful space for your next visit, reunion or special event.

Country Home

The home worked out perfectly for our group. We traveled with family our main goal was spending time together. The patio and backyard are both a perfect way to start (coffee) and end (wine) the day. Our dogs also enjoyed the large yard and the freedom to run and lounge. We cooked a lot of our meals (for 9). The kitchen had everything we needed. The drive into Durango took about 25 minutes. We made the trip once a day and were able to enjoy the area too. Overall everyone enjoyed the house and it worked as a great home base for us.

Family Vacation

We had a great time at Lucky Elk! We stayed for 10 days, and enjoyed every minute. It sits on a large property far enough from your neighbors with alot of open space surrounding. The property owners live about 5 min away and will come by daily to maintain the property and tend to the chicken coop that is nearby. They gave us some fresh eggs from their chickens that were very good. They are very attentive hosts. The house itself has all the essentials and is very cozy. This is a great place for a large family to vacation. There is a LARGE fenced in yard for your dogs to play-mine loved it. It is a place I would definitely visit again!

Thanksgiving

This property is beyond special, it’s not your ordinary rental. This is a home! Well decorated with special art painted from their family members, interesting pieces that you could tell were collected after many years. Warm and inviting with endless accommodations. We hosting thanksgiving at a nearby ranch owned by my partner and rented this for family overflow. However, it was so special, I would love to just rent it and entertain there just to show off its beauty. It was great for my 81 year old mom to have everything on the first floor, so she didn’t have to go up and down the stairs. And my college age kids, stayed upstairs with plenty of room to spread out and feel spoiled. The host and hostess were so accommodating and kind. They even had farm fresh eggs for us to cook in the very well appointed kitchen. I would definitely stay at this cozy and charming home again!! Thank you again Chance and Elizabeth for having us in your home and making this Thanksgiving memory unforgettable!

Weekend get away

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming log cabin retreat located on a picturesque hay meadow near Durango, Colorado. From the start, the hosts were fantastic, offering great communication that made our check-in process seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality set the tone for a wonderful stay. The cabin itself is a delightful mix of rustic charm and modern comfort. The spacious interior is thoughtfully furnished, but one of the highlights is undoubtedly the large back porch. We spent countless hours here, soaking in the quiet atmosphere and marveling at the spectacular views of the surrounding meadows and mountains. It was the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, and evening stargazing. Overall, this log cabin retreat near Durango is a gem. Its serene setting, combined with excellent amenities and stunning views, makes it an ideal destination for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. We can't wait to come back!

Amazing house and property near Durango

Spectacular home! We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house is a beautiful 2 story log house with a master suite on the ground floor, remaining bedrooms upstairs. The furnishings are first class. Nice art work throughout. It is located in farmland East of Durango in rolling hills of Juniper with great mountain vistas. The house is well stocked with appliances, cooking gear, kitchen utensils, and basic supplies. Games galore. Two living rooms with t.v.'s. The beds are very comfortable. There are many areas for people to separate to when needing their own space as well as plenty of space for everyone to come together. The master bath is dreamy. Washer & Dryer in the master bathroom (isolated and out of the way). The grounds are nicely manicured and maintained. Lots of flowers. Hummingbirds ever present on the feeders on the back porch. A large hot tub on the back deck. Nice grill for cooking. This house really has it all. We brought our two dogs with us. They were happy campers. The back yard is a half acre, fenced. Grass surface. Perfect for games of frisbee or playing with a ball. The dogs slept well. Durango is 20 to 25 minutes away depending on traffic. The pace of life at the house is a welcome state of quiet relative to the frenzy of town. Chance & Elizabeth were great to work with. They live nearby and can jump in when needed. The photos on VRBO are an accurate reflection of what you will find upon arrival. Book this house, thank me later.

Wonderful stay just outside Durango

The house is great. As advertised, it is 20-25 min from Durango. So you have peace, quiet, great views. The house is very well equipped and up to date. Hosts are nearby and very kind.
