You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded & newly remodeled Durango beauty close to town with large yard

Enjoy the best of both worlds at La Plata View, a peaceful Durango retreat with beautiful views of the La Plata Mountains, a large grassy yard, and a quiet setting just about one mile from downtown. Watch for deer wandering through the yard, take in the mountain scenery, and return home to a comfortable space after a day exploring Southwest Colorado.

Whether you're visiting Durango for an outdoor adventure, exploring the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, visiting Fort Lewis College, or simply looking for a relaxing mountain getaway, La Plata View offers a convenient home base with easy access to everything Durango has to offer.

The bright, open living area features high ceilings, wood floors, comfortable seating, and a gas fireplace for cozy evenings. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light and showcase the surrounding mountain views. After a day of exploring, settle in with a movie on the TV or simply relax and enjoy the scenery from the comfort of the living room.

The updated kitchen is well equipped for preparing everything from a quick breakfast before heading out for the day to a relaxed dinner at home. Stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, ample counter space, and a breakfast bar make the kitchen both functional and connected to the main living area. When you'd rather dine outside, step onto the patio and fire up the gas grill while enjoying the fresh mountain air.

La Plata View offers three comfortable bedrooms and sleeps up to six guests. The home provides a combination of king, queen, and additional beds to accommodate families, couples traveling together, or small groups looking for more space than a hotel can provide. A full bathroom serves the home, along with a washer and dryer for added convenience.

One of the highlights of La Plata View is the peaceful outdoor setting. The large grassy yard provides room to relax, enjoy the mountain scenery, and keep an eye out for local wildlife, including deer that frequently visit the property. The patio offers another place to enjoy the outdoors, whether you're starting the morning with coffee, grilling dinner, or watching the mountains change throughout the day.

La Plata View is tucked away in a quiet setting while remaining conveniently close to downtown Durango. You're about one mile from downtown's restaurants, shops, and attractions, with easy access to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the area's many outdoor adventures. Spend the day hiking, biking, skiing, sightseeing, or exploring the San Juan Mountains, then return to a peaceful retreat where you can slow down and enjoy the views.

With mountain views, a private yard, a comfortable living space, a fully equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, patio, grill, washer and dryer, WiFi, and free parking, La Plata View offers a comfortable Durango basecamp for guests who want convenient access to town and outdoor adventures without giving up the peace and scenery of a mountain getaway.

Only 3 min drive, 20 min walk back to town, but out enough where it is very quiet. Kitchen is small but we easily cooked att meals. Stainless cookware was appreciated. There are lounge chairs in the shed to lay out if you want. It is up a short gravel drive, but has parking in front of house as well as side. Good value for money.

Very clean, it was really nice for our family of 5. We did get to see some mule deer roaming around the yard, and bear tracks. Which were pretty awesome. The amenities were nice, easy to get location from all of the shops and local places.

Nice Small House

House was very clean and well stocked. It is close to Fort Lewis College, but a little outside of walking distance to access downtown. The only limitation is that there is just one bath (we had 4 adults), but that was very clear from the listing. I would stay here again.

It's an OK property, not premier. Some nice views and close to downtown. However, the property has issues. Most of them are brought up in past reviews. But they go unfixed. With some time, effort, and money. You could make this a better place. And what's with the huge cleaning fee???!

Good place to stay

The property was great. We had a little hard time finding it but your directions were good. We just took a few passes. The house was comfortable and suited our needs. Beautiful location. Our only suggestion would be to turn up the hot water a little and find a way to increase the water pressure. The shower needed warmer water with more water pressure.

Family Ski Reunion

We took our adult children skiing for a week, and this house suited our needs just fine. The only glitch was the electronic door lock didn’t work when we arrived late at night. It took a little while, but we eventually got the code for the lockbox containing the keys.

Review

The house was exactly how the listing was described. The only reason I gave a four star and not a five is because the dishes in the cabinets were either wet or had dried food on them so I had to wash all the dishes before we used them. As for the rest of the house it was immaculate and would definitely stay there again and recommend it for others traveling to Durango.
