Cozy Cottage perfect for a couple or small family

This cozy cottage is just minutes from downtown Durango as well as two miles from Lake Nighthorse which is a lovely large recreational lake. The well appointed layout of this newly remodel space has a large downstairs bedroom, a gabled upstairs area that can accommodate an extra guest or can be used as an office. The kitchen opens up into a spacious dining area as well as a living room with a large screen TV and a sleeper sofa. If you are looking to sit outside and enjoy the sunset dipping behind the mountains you have a sun room to enjoy, if it is chilly out, or your own private side patio. Enjoy all Durango has to offer with hiking, paddle boarding, mountain biking and whitewater all within 10 minutes of this great setting.
This is a classic mother-in-law space that shares a wall with the main house.

A Comfortable Stay
The cozy cottage was perfect for our stay. Beds were comfortable, the place was clean and well stocked and we enjoyed being away from the town and seeing wildlife. Kristin was a wonderful host and seemed to think of everything when it came to the cottage. We'll definitely be going back!

Pretty Home Away from Home
Comfortable and pretty little cottage/mother in law house with views of the forest. Quiet neighborhood and house had everything my family needed to enjoy a few days away in Durango CO. A short drive to the Durango but tucked away in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom and watching the deer graze.

Summer vacay
We were Texans escaping the heat and this places was absolutely perfect. Set outside of town on a beautiful piece of property it was absolutely serene. This place was exquisite. It was absolutely spotless and extremely eco-friendly which we absolutely loved. The hosts were extremely accommodating for some of our requests and for that we greatly appreciated it.. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the city of Durango!!!

A slice of paradise
This place is perfect! It attaches to the house next to the garage so there is no noise from the house and we had privacy. Kristin has taken care of every detail. Everything was clean with great organic products to use. This is only about 10 minutes from town, but feels quiet, remote, and secluded. I would highly recommend this lovely little cottage!

Dream Stay!
Lake Nighthorse Cottage was literally a dream, slept well on very comfy mattress. Perfect property for a couple, situated to explore Mesa Verde (pre-reservations required for ALL ranger-guided cliff dwelling tours). If you plan on cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, grocery stores (including natural/health food market options) are within a 15 minute drive in Durango. Kristin was an exemplary host! The fingerling fries at James Ranch Grill are a must try. Check out the poignant Tour of Carvings in nearby Vallecito Lake commemorating the devastating 2002 forest fire.
