This house sits high up about 10 minutes off the main road and half an hour from Durango and Silverton. It’s clean with plenty of room. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, glasses, etc. You get views of Castle Rock Peak (also a nice hike close by) from the living room. There were elk in the national forest land that starts right behind the house (steep, no trails, some bugs, but very wild. Bring GPS.) about 2 hours from the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde National Park which are a “must see.” We were there in mid August, and didn’t have any problems with heat or bugs that others had mentioned. It can get warm if it’s sunny but it’s easy to open up and let the breeze through. They could maybe straighten up a bit around the outside, but no complaints, it was a great base for our week in the Durango area.
