This newly listed modern chalet home is perched high above the Animas Valley. Enjoy some of the best views in Durango, multiple hiking trails nearby, and numerous wildlife that pass by or fly over the property. This unique location allows you to feel like you are far from town, amidst the forest, red cliffs, with the option to watch the valley happenings below - including the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Train and the North Pole in November/December. We are just 10 minutes to downtown Durango, 25 minutes to the lifts at Purgatory, and down the road from Durango Hot Springs ~ 4 miles. Although, you can also enjoy a soak in the hot tub located on the expansive deck. This is a perfect location to relax and recharge while having easy access to all of the sights and activities of the Durango Area and the breathtaking San Juan Mountains.

Bedroom 2 features incredible views of the valley and mountains including the river and Durango Train as it passes by daily down on the valley floor. Full Bathroom is located just across the hall from this room.

Bedroom 3 features a small view out the window with a en suite bathroom and right outside the bedroom a full living area with a big screen TV and office area with spectacular views.

PERFECT Durango getaway!
Our family of 6 came for a week of vacation at this beautiful property. There are 3 different floors so that each couple had their own space and plenty of space to have family time . Everything that you need is provided… all of the utensils needed to cook with … paper towels , toilet paper washing detergents, … all of these things save time from having to go out and you can get started on your vacation! The expansive deck affords stunning views, furniture, firepit and hot tub and view the Milky Way, rainbows and the whistle of the train going by! . This beautiful place exceeded our expectations! Durango is such a beautiful area and we hope to be back again !

Private Family Friendly
Quiet, private, away from the fray. It was well appointed and the air conditioning was a plus. The lower and mid- level bedrooms have portable air conditioners, but they worked well. You will have to carry your luggage and groceries up some stairs but it is doable. It was clean and comfortable with a great view of the Animas Valley. The children enjoyed hearing the train whistle. The host was quick to respond to questions and very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay here.

Million $$ View
Our family of 7 (4 adults and 3 kiddos ages 8 and under) very much enjoyed our stay! The location was ideal. We were able to access the conveniences of town in under 10 minutes (grocery, gas, restaurants and shopping), while also enjoying life on the mountain with gorgeous views. The deck is the showstopper of the home. The entire house is comfortable in high summer with the AC on. The owners were very attentive and responsive to all of our inquiries. The bedrooms are all comfortable. Linens and pillows feel fresh, are clean and high quality. The master bedroom is in the loft. You can enjoy the views and also the sunrises. Our favorite eateries include boba tea from The Smiley Cafe, wraps to-go from RPG’s and pastries from La Bonne Patisserie. Our favorite spots for kids include the beach at Oxbow Park (so close to the house!), Lake Nighthorse (Wibit tickets can sell out, consider buying when sales open in the AM) and horseback riding at Bears Ranch.”

The perfect mountain getaway
This home is the perfect mountain getaway! There is plenty of space and a very open concept! We spent most of our time on the beautiful deck… so huge, with amazing views! The home owners were immediate in their replies to any questions that we had, about anything! If in the Durango area, I would definitely recommend this home! Beautiful!

The Spring Creek property was perfect for our three generations family vacation. The house was spacious and easily accommodated the ten of us. The house was immaculate. The kitchen was well equipped. Our teens loved the ping pong table, corn hole and dart target games. The deck and hot tub were a favorite gathering place for all of us. No review of this property is complete without mention of the spectacular views from snow capped mountains to the north and the winding Animas River below. The common exclamation upon arriving was “WOW”! Finally, the owners could not have been more helpful and accommodating. They responded quickly to any questions that occurred during our stay and gave clear and detailed descriptions on the use of the facilities. Our family would highly recommend this property for a wonderful stay in Durango.

Scenic Splendor in Durango
From reserving to stay the communication was incredible. We went to Durango to celebrate our son's graduation from Fort Lewis. We were looking for a property that would work for my 88 year old grandma down the line with enough room for everyone to have space and this fit the bill! Just awesome views and deck. We cooked out on the deck and used the hot tub and enjoyed the propane fire ! The train comes by and the whistle blows and it is just delightful. You can feel like you are up in the mountains and relish in the beauty and in just minutes be in downtown Durango!!

Absolutely amazing place!
Our family of five had a fantastic stay all around! The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of space for each of our kids to enjoy having their own room. The amenities were very thoughtful with plenty of towels, shampoo/conditioner & body wash provided in each of the bathrooms, and plenty of extra paper products for the bathrooms and kitchen. The view is absolutely breathtaking! We really enjoyed the hot tub every night after a long day of skiing. The homeowners were super friendly and went above and beyond to respond quickly with any questions and immediate needs that we had during our stay.

Great winter vacation!
We had a lovely time staying at this property! The hosts were incredibly nice and kind. They let us extend our stay by a few hours so we could rest before driving home. They came over and shoveled the snow for us after a snow storm. The house is lovely. The views are stunning. There are nice walking trails right outside the house and the hot tub is incredible. We were right near town and close by for skiing at purgatory. Highly recommend staying here!

The house itself was beautiful with plenty of room and met all of our family's needs. It is on the north end of the city while close enough to downtown yet secluded and private for you to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. The views were incredible and everyone enjoyed hearing and seeing the steam trains pass by in the valley. The owners were extremely helpful with anything we needed with respect to the house, and even assisted in trying to help with accommodations for others traveling with us who had a problem. We would HIGHLY recommend this property for anyone heading to beautiful Durango.
