*** PINE POINT *** Colorado at its rugged best... the Indians had a phrase for this unique area of the majestic San Juan Mountain Range - 'Where the Gods fly.' Your residence which is best termed a getaway cabin is set in an aspen/pine forest at 8400' perched on a Rocky Mountain cliff side beneath the rugged 11,000' rock formation named the Hermosa Cliffs. We offer a true intimate family setting with outstanding views and total privacy. Seventeen miles north of town, Pine Point is a convenient four miles away from the Durango Mountain Resort. What makes this property unusual are the two separate residences attached by an outdoor stairway allowing families or friends to have both access and privacy. The upper main residence is a two bedroom/one bath living space which includes a cathedralesque great room with incredible views and a twenty five foot/south facing wall of glass. The wrap-around deck provides more than (300) sq. ft. of additional outdoor living space and expansive views carved by ancient glaciers winding down the Durango Valley. From the deck or from the great room, guests often feel as if they are standing in mid-air. Downstairs (under the upper deck) is a separate studio apartment complete with a kitchen, bath, and private deck. With its 270 degrees of glass, this space is perfect for a couple and was originally designed for parents to find refuge from their teenage children. *** LOCATION *** ** Do not use Google maps to locate. We will send you directions. You are within walking distance of two spectacular lakes, Electra and Havilland. Although Electra Lake features twelve thousand foot peaks covered with snow most of the year and is less than a half mile from your front door, access is currently restricted due to construction on the dam that creates the lake. Guests are advised to call the lake office directly to find out if access is available. Havilland Lake is two miles down the road on Hwy 550 and though smaller than Electra is equally charming. Part of the lake requires no fee whereas the more popular camping and fishing sites do require a small payment. You are also four miles from a world-class ski and hiking resort. The close proximity of Pine Point to the Purgatory Resort affords an active family or group the best of all worlds - excellent public recreation areas and a warm, totally private house which feels like home. Check with resort to determine when it provides services. It must be noted that the second bedroom upstairs in the main house is small and we have decided that it be deemed appropriate for one person instead of two in spite of the queen futon. Historically, we originally considered it a two person room. *** HISTORY OF PINE POINT *** Pine Point in Durango is indeed one of those undiscovered spots in the world which forms an indelible impression once you are there. Our family lives year round in a 1909 house overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara. In 1992, we decided to look for an equally spectacular mountain residence ... we wanted something undiscovered - not Mammoth or Aspen or Jackson Hole. We wanted an experience that encompassed a spectacular view with a modest home that reflected our values. Living at Pine Point includes living among wild animals, soaring birds of prey, and the feeling that you are midway between the wild and civilization. Again, what makes our property stand out from others is the fact that our studio apartment offers a separate residence for guests who fall into the 'separate couples' category or for 'parents and children' spending their summer vacations together. Too often a mutual friend vacation or a family vacation is anything but a vacation ... there is never enough space for couples or different generations to feel as if they have the needed privacy. **** The Seasons **** (A) Summer (Jun - mid Sept) At 8400', the mornings are cool and sunny, the afternoons shaded by tall pines complete with mountain breezes. During June, the rivers run high with winter snow runoff and the wildflowers begin to flourish. In July, dramatic thunderstorms arrive as quickly as they disappear in the afternoons, and the bears begin to occasionally pass by as all guests are asked to bring in any food at night. August temperatures are somewhat cooler and in many ways August is the most interesting month as the smell of Fall slowly comes to play. (B) Fall (mid Sept - Thanksgiving) Fall is absolutely our favorite time of year - the aspen turn bright orange and yellow as the scrub oaks turn flaming red. At this time of year, we usually manage to stay there for at least three weeks ourselves. There are surrounding weeks which also offer the Fall experience. (C) Winter At this point, we do not rent during the winter because major snowfall yields a number of transportation problems that guests can possibly face. We do our best to blend in with the local community who don't appreciate their roads being blocked by visitors who have difficulty driving in the snow. (D) Spring (May, Jun) Spring at Pine Point is often sunny and relatively warm during the day, and then cold at night with daily temperatures ranging approximately from 60 degrees during the day to 30 degrees at night. It is a beautiful time to relax and watch the last of the snow melt as the elk migrate to higher elevations and the birds begin their dance. *** So if you decide to visit this semi-tamed part of the southern Rockies, be sure to understand that this is not the same as living in a resort condo or in the middle of nowhere. The cabin is well-maintained, but not new ... a personal experience that almost all of our guests find to be memorable. Many of our guests return year after year. Reservations are best made pretty far in advance. Lic # 27274919. Keywords: House

This darling 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin is situated on a beautiful wooded acre with the Little Cascade Creek running through the property. Relax in rustic elegance as the sounds of a rushing waterfall, rustling pine trees and humming birds fill the air. Explore the outdoors right from your back deck or hike north along the creek to Columbine Lake and south to Electra Lake. Fish from the banks of Cascade Creek or our beautiful Columbine Lake, both are not permitted and yes, they have fish! Enjoy watching sunsets over the spectacular Hermosa Cliffs while relaxing in the private hot tub or while sipping cocktails listening to the waterfall from the back deck. Take a short stroll down a lovely trail to have wine and cheese on our aspen swing while watching the creek dance over the rocks below. If you are lucky, you may see an elk, deer, wild turkeys, quail, muskrats, beavers, raccoons, and other cute critters. There have been reported sightings of a moose nearby, but not from the back deck as of yet. Cozy up by the fire in the wood burning stove in the main living area while watching the flat screen TV or stream movies over the internet Wi-Fi. The kids will be content with their own TV and gaming center upstairs in the spacious loft bedroom. Our cabin may sleep as many as 6 people comfortably with the following bed configuration: Master (1st floor) – Queen Loft (2nd floor) – Full (3) Living (1st floor) – Queen pull-out sofa/bed Cascade Creek Cabin offers privacy and seclusion nestled in the spectacular San Juan Mountains. Located 25 minutes north from Durango and only 1.5 miles from the ski resort, amenities abound. The Sows Ear Restaurant located less than 2 miles away, boasts 4 star dining and a lively bar. The Old Schoolhouse Cafe located 5 miles away, serves the best pizza and calzones this side of Italy…well that’s our opinion anyway! There is always something to do at the ski resort with summer and fall activities for the entire family. This will truly be your home away from home. Our cabin is cozy and you will find it is exactly what you need. *****4-Wheel Drive/AWD REQUIRED in winter (Thanksgiving through mid-March)***** Our home is tucked away off a beautiful winding road which is regularly plowed in the winter. You will be driving on packed snow which can become icy, especially on steep hills. Chains may be necessary if you are driving an AWD SUV with high performance tires.

***** Covid - 19 Notice **** - Please contact me about booking. There are local "shelter in place" "orders" going on in La Plata Country (Durango Co) currently. Please don't use "instant booking." They are discouraging any tourism. Also we are trying to follow the Colorado state guidelines to keep everyone happy. The locals are worried. The following are the state "guidelines" that will help us not reach herd immunity any time soon. Guests are "encouraged" to take their shoes off when entering the property. Guests should wash their hands frequently with soap and water and/or use hand sanitizer. Guests should wear cloth face coverings in public throughout Colorado. It may be required in some communities. Guests should maintain physical distancing of at least 6 feet from people not in their group/ household while in Colorado. Guests must cancel their stay if they are sick or have been in close contact with someone who is sick with COVID-19 symptoms in the 14 days before their stay. *****NOTE : 4x4 vehicle necessary for Winter Months with good all terrain tires or chains if you have street tires **** NOV 1 - APR 1 NO EXCEPTIONS! See note at bottom as well. Two wheel drive vehicles can't make it in the winter months and all wheel drive vehicles are questionable when we get big snows. Our Calendar is up to date. No need to 'inquire' unless you have questions. Simply fill in your dates and click "book it" . Know that we also lowered our prices a bit to offset VRBO's recently added percentage charge to customers. Also, if you "input" 7 nights, you won't be charged for the 7th one (except during Christmas Break). HERE ARE THE DETAILS of our HOME: Our mountain side home looks out over Little Cascade Creek! You will love the unique placement of our home because it allows you to look upstream for 100 yards of the creek / river where you can see multiple falls which run directly at you. The peaceful sound of the rushing water will sooth you as you relax by the fire pit or sit in the hot tub on our deck. Occasionally you will see wildlife crossing the creek or in the meadows below. Mark stocks the stream with rainbow trout each spring, too. We purchased this home because of his desire for artistic inspiration. Mark is an artist, you see, and we love to come here to recharge. 'Keathley' artwork adorns every possible wall in the home, but the outside views are what you will enjoy the most. The bay windows of the dining area surrounds our huge round dining table (with a lazy-susan) and offers a great view of the creek, as well. This will be a place for making memories with your family and having intimate conversations as you enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We have a box of fun and unique questions on or near the table to help kick start interesting conversations, and all the fancy utensils, and serving items one would need for an elegant Dinner. The living room windows on each side of the river rock fireplace look out over the rushing water of Cascade creek as well. You won't know where to stand and take it all in. Well - yes you will - the deck is simply amazing! The weather up here at 8800 ft above sea level is 10 - 15 degrees cooler than in Durango just 25 minutes away - you won't want to go inside! Note - there is no AC for summer heat, August can get up to 80 during the day, and down to 55 at night. It cools off quickly in the evening, and Sept. is back to cool Our cozy living room is furnished with two leather sofas (one is a sleeper with memory foam mattress.) A 55' HDTV and all the channels of entertainment you need hangs on the wall above a cabinet full of books. Besides, did I mention the view from the deck? You won't want to be indoors spring, summer or fall. So grab one of those books and spend some time outside. If it is chilly, you can fire up the glistening fire pit with the turn of the gas valve and the strike of a lighter, or light up the fireplace and warm yourself indoors from stacks of firewood on the front porch. As dusk comes, watch a dozen automatic timed candles turn on around the living room and stairs. It's a magical place. Our kitchen is outfitted with new GE appliances and everything you need for the gourmet chef in you. Cook up something delightful to enjoy on the deck or around the table. You'll find lots of tools you would have at home. A blender for making margaritas to sip on by the fire, and many other 'necessities' for your use and enjoyment - stashed away in the large pantry. The bedrooms are upstairs. To the right you will find a romantic get-a-way in the master Bedroom, complete with a huge window - creek view by day, and twinkling stars at night. A crystal chandelier table lamp will put a soft light on the linen tufted King size bed. Complete with Adjustable "air" bed, and memory foam topper. The bed is so comfy you won't want to get up in the morning and go on any of the amazing adventures all around you. At the other end of the upstairs hall is another smaller romantic cabin room with red velvet covered Queen bed, Mountain Sheep fur wall hanging, and cozy mountain cabin feel complete with grand art work and Direct TV in these first two rooms. The sun streams in early and invites you to the great outdoors on this east side room. In the small kids bunk room, where four little ones can easily sleep, there is a DVD/TV combo along with cowboy and Indian Artwork and a giant fur bean bag. Bring your favorite DVDs, but we have plenty on a shelf in the closet. Though the house is only 1600 sq ft, is it elegantly appointed and invitingly cozy. the living area is room and spacious, and we have had 6-8 people many times. The Needles Store is just 3 miles down the road - handy for things you run out of or forgot in Durango! And the Sow's Ear Restaurant is a 4 star type joint with a bar and a fun crowd just 2 miles away at the Silver Pick Lodge. There is a lot happening at the Resort up the road (1/2 mile down the highway) with a pizza joint and a fancy restaurant called 'Purgy's' and lot's of folks. The kids will love the alpine slide and other fun summer things at DMR as well as all the winter activities. For your small pets, we have a cute little doggie hotel in the living room under the stair way landing. It is made out of wood, and is intended for keeping your pets from roaming at night or bothering you while your eating. Since it is wood, we don't intend it to keep your pet while you leave on an excursion for the day, as they would surely fear being left behind and try to chew out. 2.3x5 feet x 2.2 ft high. National forest borders all around. You literally walk down to the creek (which I stock regularly with brown and rainbow trout) and get lost for hours as you explore along the creek and hike to the north (Columbine Lake - 30 mins) or hike to the left (south) and see the magnificent Electra Lake (a couple hours) to the south. The southern hike is too treacherous when the creek is flowing strong - like in the pictures, though. This southern hike is an "extreme" hike - with falls and dangerous things to maneuver - my kids love it when the creek is low and they can rock hop down the stream! (take a rope for getting up and down some tough areas.) You'll see all kinds of wildlife if you are quiet and looking. Bear, Big horn sheep, Elk, turkey, beavers, Eagles, geese, Deer, mountain lions and even an occasional moose are possible. There is so much to take in! We (personally) have only seen mule deer, but some guest have seen Elk, mountain lion and cubs, and eagles. Due to repairs on a dam and pipe up stream, sometimes the creek is barely flowing. Fishing in this stream is more for kids, as it is too tight for fly fishing. Remember - get all 7 nights of a week for the price of 6 (except Christmas and New Years weeks) Simply input all 7 nights, and the system will give you a discount that takes the price of one night off. ***Note - we don't have AC in our home. Most summers are 75ish in the day and 50 at night. Sometimes Mid August is a bit more. There are fans in every room. *****NOTE: 4x4 - 4 wheel drive is necessary in the winter. No exceptions! And if you have 4x4 with street tires, you need chains. The larger the vehicle the more they struggle. I've never needed chains with good all terrain tires and 4x4. But I have seen 4x4 vehicles stuck because they had highway / high speed tires only (like a BMW SUV might have). Lake Purgatory Drive is 1.5 miles of up and down and will have patches of ice on steep hills. In fact, most winters, it is packed snow you are driving on the whole time. It is plowed as soon as we get snow, so you can get out and in, but it is still icy often. A couple of hills are steep and long and north facing = ice. Notice the pictures above to see the winter conditions. This is the real deal ... dangerous conditions... but totally doable if you are prepared. We've seen out of control cars and trucks on ice while the locals are walking their dogs. There is talk of banning VRBO guests during the winter because of this. So please take care of the details on this issue. Call O'Reily, or Advanced Auto Parts in Durango to reserve a set of chains to have in your vehicle when you head through town if you don't have all terrain off road type tires. They are often out of stock, so don't depend on showing up last minute to get chains. Please adhere to this for the safety of our neighbors and of yours. WINTER SKIING - Purgatory has some awesome skiing and you can park in the lower parking (where the locals do) and then walk across the road to the bunny lift for a free ride up to the base area where tickets,etc can be purchased.

Our townhome is the place to bring your family for a unique and memorable Colorado mountain trip! Our goal is to make your kids (and you) love the mountain life as much as we do! The home is located just under Castle Rock, one of the most stunning of the Hermosa Cliffs on Highway 550 north of Durango. This townhome is unique in the complex as it is the only one with a whole wall of windows to enjoy the views. It also is just steps away from Elbert Creek - Open the back windows or doors and you will be greeted by the sound of a babbling creek (or a rushing river depending on the time of way, it’s heavenly)! The deck out back is great for watching your kids run around in the meadow or splash in the creek while you enjoy your morning coffee or happy hour after a long day of hiking (of which there is an abundance around here)! There’s also a fire pit out back perfect for s’more making! And a soak in the communal hot tub rounds out the perfect day! The house boasts 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. The downstairs bedroom is kid-central starting with the awesome bunk bed.There are shelves full of fun books and tons of toys to entertain your kids for hours! There is also a full crib and changing table for the smaller munchkins. Hidden in the kids room, there is a super-secret hideaway complete with a fake LED campfire (for those rainy afternoons you can’t be outside). We recommend not telling your kids about the space beforehand and let them discover it themselves when they arrive! Upstairs, you will find a retreat for weary parents. There are 2 bedrooms both with on-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom boasts amazing views of Castle Rock above the King size memory foam bed. There’s an attached, private deck as well as an indoor sitting area to enjoy some peace and quiet after the kids go down for the night. Or, take a soak in the large jetted tub - sublime! The second bedroom boasts a super comfortable queen size bed and the on-suite bath ensures you don’t have to talk to another soul once you close your door for the night. The window in the room opens up to the creekside of the house, so at night you can let the gentle sounds of a river lull you to sleep. My mother is a chef and a large part of vacation for us is spending time cooking together. We hope you will enjoy the same and as such, you will be hard pressed to find a more well-stocked kitchen! You’ll be cooking with real pots and pans (not the flimsy “bend when you pick them up” type you’re used to in a rental) and we have all the utensils and kitchen gadgets any chef would require to create a masterpiece dinner! We’ve made every effort to make this place as kid-friendly as possible so you can relax and enjoy your time together rather than trying to keep them entertained or keep them out of trouble. We have installed kid-safe outlets on all the kid-level outlets. We have cabinet locks on any unsafe cabinets and have moved all harsh chemicals out of their reach. There are baby gates on the stairs both in the house and on the deck and we’ve taken care to keep breakable items out of the way. With all the wonderful amenities at the rental, you may be wondering why you should ever leave, but, this place is perfectly situated to hike, bike, ski or head into town for some shopping! A few highlights: -- Castle Rock Trail is just across the street - no driving required for this hike! 3 miles to the top of the cliff you can see out your window - From the top, you can just make out your vacation home! -- Tons of other kid-friendly hikes within 15-30 minutes: Spud Lake, Engineer Mountain, Cascade creek. We have details about all the hikes that we can share with you! -- The Needles country store is right across the street in case you forget any essential from you just need some ice cream! -- Purgatory is less than 5 minutes away and has year-round activities. In the summer, try the Alpine Slide - It’s a Blast!! -- PJ’s Gourmet Market is about 15 minutes away and is an awesome boutique grocery store. -- Durango itself is a beautiful 25 minute drive down the hill. We recommend playing Wildlife Bingo with the kids on the way there. Let us know if you have any questions about the place or Durango in general. We’d love to help make your vacation perfect! The mountains are calling and we must go! Abby, Aaron and little Andrew
