Southwest Colorado's Premier Vacation Retreat

During Covid-19, we are scheduling guests 72 hours apart to ensure the safest environment possible for our guests as recommended by the World Health Organization until future notice. Rincon Lodge is located just east of historic Durango, Colorado (approx 15-20 min) where you can enjoy countless seasonal activities such as golfing, horseback riding, river rafting, shopping, dining, and world-class hunting & fishing. Also nearby are Mesa Verde National Park, the Durango-Silverton narrow gauge railroad, two ski areas (Durango Mountain Resort and Wolf Creek Ski Area), and natural healing hot spring spas. Built in 1995-1996, the lodge itself is a magnificent 6,500 square foot custom log home with expansive wrap-around decks offering views of the majestic La Plata Mountains, the Florida Mesa, and abundant wildlife. Open floor plans, cathedral ceilings, and soaring windows provide views of deer, elk, and wild turkey seen almost daily year-round. Inside the lodge, seven bedrooms will accommodate up to 20 guests with room for more upon request. The main floor has three full-size sofas as well as additional seating for comfortable relaxation and is situated around a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning river rock fireplace with satellite television and a DVD/VCR. Several entryways provide access to covered decks with panoramic views. Private bedrooms include shared full baths and another half bath with shower just around the corner. The dining area and kitchen on the main floor feature a teak dining table easily seating ten people with additional leafs for expansion. A massive elk antler chandelier adorns the area. The custom kitchen and center island features solid granite countertops, a six burner gas range, double ovens, and everything else even the most discerning gourmet cook will appreciate. The center island provides casual seating. The mudroom offers a full-size washer and dryer, a full upright freezer, and a large open pantry. The lower living area also has a full-size sofa and chair seating around a second river rock fireplace and a big screen satellite television with DVD/VCR. It hosts four private bedrooms including a kids "Camp Room" and one shared full bath. Two entryways provide access to covered patios.
Take the log staircase to the upper level and you will find the master suite complete with a rustic aspen log frame king-size bed and two private decks with views that will take your breath away. The master bath has a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, double vanity, and a spacious walk-in closet that includes an extra sleeping area with futon, a ping pong table, or a secluded place to just be alone with your thoughts and relax. This property does NOT have a hot tub. Accommodations total two king-size beds, two queen-size beds, one full-size bed, 2 twin beds, 2 sets of bunk bed, and futon sleepers. Radiant in-floor heating is accented by oak hardwoods, carpet, slate, and saltillo tile. There are ceiling fans and portable fans in every room. This house was designed without central air, because of its altitude! ***In conjunction with the Lodge for larger parties, the Guesthouse will sleep 4 comfortably. Situated as a studio apartment or 'mother-in-law' quarters above the 3 car garage, it offers the same stupendous views and peaceful settings as the Lodge, located approximately 60 yards directly north. The Guesthouse rents separately from the Lodge at $1750 week or $250 per night plus tax/cleaning. It has a king and queen bed, sofa, tv, full kitchen, shower, washer/dryer. If you do not need to rent the guesthouse based on a smaller group, we will not rent it to another family during your stay! It will just remain closed. No one will be on the property but your party during your stay. Located at 7487', the fully fenced 76 acres of ponderosa and juniper pine-covered ground around the Lodge offer endless nature trail hiking, snowshoeing, snow sledding, mountain biking, picnicking, barbecuing, horseshoes, and a ski run in the winter months to keep busy during your stay. We provide snow plowing for you to check in and out of the lodge only. If you require additional plow services, you can call our plow guy or someone else to plow you out at your expense. Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property. Because many people ask, we do NOT have a hot tub on the property. There are spas and a recreation center in town that have tubs and spa services. RINCON LODGE has something for everyone! With its spaciousness, unmatched beauty, and peaceful surroundings, it is an ideal vacation spot for family and school reunions, executive corporate retreats, and even small weddings.

Wonderful property!

This home is amazing for a large crowd. We had 3 generations staying over Thanksgiving and each family had a space to spread out. The kitchen is stocked as I've never seen a rental before. The views are breathtaking. We initially had a bit of a heating issue, but it was handled very quickly and efficiently. Kimberly is an awesome host! We've already booked for next year!

family trip

The house and view were beautiful. The house was extremely HOT when we got there with many small children, it would have been considerate to start cooling the house considering the cost and the weather advisory. Rooms we hoped to use for children were so hot for 3 days , they could not be used. The location ,while scenic was QUITE a drive from everything.

Great home and fantastic views!

This property is one of a kind! I recently held a family reunion at Rincon Lodge and it was fantastic. Large enough to hold a big group, it has everything you need to make a comfortable and memorable stay. They even had a wheelchair ramp for one of our disabled guests. Kimberly was a delight to work with, as were her property managers. We were able to do a group ride on Durango's narrow gauge railroad train, a zipline experience for the younger set and a jeep ride to the top of La Plata Canyon. Everyone left with special memories of Durango and Rincon Lodge!

Guestbook Comment

We are very happy we stayed at Rincon Lodge and would recommend it highly. Stunningly beautiful. Supremely comfortable. Very peaceful. There is plenty of room for lots of people; more than enough for our extended family of nine. And, we really loved the mexican food meal that Chris cooked for us! The setting and views are exquisite. The lodge is just far enough from town that Durango's pleasures are a treat and not a distraction.

Plenty of space for all 13 of us

The lodge was perfect for our family get together. There was plenty of space for everyone to either be together or find their own spaces to chill. The deck view was breathtaking. The kitchen was the most equipped kitchen I have ever stayed in. Three full size refrigerators. The driveway was a bit scary at first. Since it was June we didn't have a problem needing the four wheel drive on our vehicle but it could be an issue for sure. We brought our own JBL speaker to play music off our phones and with the high ceilings sounded great, Kimberly always got right back to me with my questions answered. One always wonders what a property would be like with only seeing a few pictures. Rincon Lodge exceeded my expectations.
