Comfortable house in wooded neighborhood.

A very pleasant house with a nice porch and view of pine trees. Quiet and peaceful even though it’s in a development. Good kitchen and appliances and comfortable beds. Stayed one week and enjoyed area sites and activities.

Time to disconnect and relax

We absolutely loved this property! The location is beautiful - we enjoyed some quiet evenings on the back deck. Exactly as pictured and had everything we needed. Easy drive to Durango for hiking, rafting, and restaurants.

A Frame Cabin in CO Woods

Very nice small cabin in woodsy area, a little to close to the neighbors than we would have liked though. We did get to see some wildlife in the yard (deer). Overall enjoyed our stay for a quick weekend getaway!

Pollen in June

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin very much! The only thing that would have made our stay a little better would have been a better water hose and outdoor water pressure to hose off the poarch from all the pollen.

Adorable Cabin

The A frame cabin was adorable and so clean. My mom has a cleaning and organizing business and commented about how clean it was. It was even decorated with some cute fall and Halloween decorations. It's a bit of a drive to the cabin from the entrance of the community, but totally worth it. We were busy with lots of activities and sad that we actually didn't get to spend as much time at the cabin. It was stocked with everything you'd need as well. Definitely will stay again if we ever visit the Durango area!

Welcoming, Comfortable, Cute, and Clean — We loved it

We were looking for a cute place to stay while we took day outings to hike and sightsee, and the Ascent A-Frame Cabin was perfect. Our first day there, we did nothing but hang out at the cabin, reading, cooking, unwinding. This cute and welcoming space made it easy to just enjoy not going anywhere. Most mornings we enjoyed sitting on the back deck, drinking coffee. We cooked many of our meals in the kitchen and again utilized the deck and outdoor table for eating, chatting, and laughing. After long days of hiking, we were thankful for a hot shower and super comfortable mattresses. We had a wonderful stay and are thankful for the comfortable, clean, and cozy cabin. It was the perfect space for our girls’ trip.

Installing an AC system would help on those hot days but at night when it cools off to the 50s it's nice.

Nice, cozy stay in a great location

This cabin is in a natural, quiet neighborhood up the side of a foothill mountain. Enjoyable inside and out with a great porch and wood-burning stove. The bedrooms are spacious even in a small A-frame cabin. Cozy furniture and comfortable beds. The only thing I would add is a couple of small, soft reading chairs, rug, and a coffee table up in the main bedroom loft. Need a place to sit down up there so you can further enjoy the room and the view from yet another part of the cabin. Great to have a nice washer and dryer and other new appliances for the stay. Worth every penny.

Cozy A-frame

My husband and I enjoyed the location of this property. It was a beautiful house. The only amenities that I would include would be an iron and an ironing board. Also, you need to update your can opener. My husband and I purchased an iron and can opener at your local Dollar General while there. We would recommend your house, and I actually had a friend reach out to me today regarding it after my Facebook posts. Thanks!

Seriously a perfect spot for our family of 4.

This was a little perfect spot for our family of 4 to enjoy activities in Durango while also enjoying activities in the neighborhood. We hiked around the lake, went fishing at the neighborhood lake and enjoyed seeing all of the incredible wildlife that Colorado has to offer. We played corn hole and enjoyed the hammock outside. This place was extremely clean and cozy. We will definately be back soon. What an incredible experience.
