Exquisite Mountain Lake Retreat | Cabin in Durango

Create your own fairy tale in this 2 bdrm 2 bath w/ open loft on a private lake nestled in the mountains. Run away with your true love. Start your novel. Tell stories by the fireplace after a powder day. Boat on a lake so clear it mirrors the sky. Discover this 1910 mountain cabin transformed with modern amenities into a place of enchantment. This isn't just a house; it's an invitation to create timeless memories in a place where every moment feels like a page from your favorite storybook.
Your only challenge will be too many things to enjoy. The spring, summer, and fall offer peak mountain experiences of hiking, Jeep tours, biking, climbing, and boating under Colorado blue skies surrounded by quivering aspens and great pines. Road trip along the dramatic Million Dollar Highway. Explore nearby mountain trails and kayaking, paddle boarding, and packrafting opportunities. A few steps down the hill from the house, well-stocked Columbine lake offers private fishing for trout, while local creeks and streams beckon avid fly-fishers.
The changing seasons bring a dramatic show of fall leaves and usher in winter snow sports. Located just outside of Purgatory Resort and next to the Durango Nordic Center, the home offers immediate access to winter downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and sledding.
Enjoy Durango Hot Springs Resort(15 minutes away) or the town of Durango(30 minutes away) with its nightlife, dining, and shopping. Or do absolutely nothing. Sometimes it’s best to take in the lake, the sky, and the mountains and just be.

With careful attention to detail, every inch of the space transports you to another world. On the exterior, a traditional log cabin structure is intertwined with natural stone and beautifully weathered stucco. Artistic details in the natural stone add a decorative flair, bringing a sense of whimsy and magic to the space. Tiles imported from France crown the space with a rich, textured surface giving the home a distinctly old world feel.
You'll have access to the private, protected lake where you can fish (catch and release) or float along peacefully surrounded by the San Juan mountains. Aspens, spruce, and firs create an idyllic atmosphere in any season.
Have a barbeque on the stone patio overlooking the lake. Enjoy the Colorado sunshine as you cook up a meal on our gas-powered bbq grill. Cozy up by the propane fire pit as you take in the view.
The interior is a feast for the senses: warm log walls, a great stone fireplace, artisanal floor tiles, rich dark colors, and gracious windows framing picture-perfect views from every room.
Arched by a soaring ceiling with exposed log beams, the open living and dining rooms offer space to gather. Red velvet couches invite you to sit around the wood burning fireplace. The oversized knotted wood dining table paired with a cozy seating area oversees an astonishing view of Columbine Lake. Have a meal or your morning cup of coffee gazing at the San Juan mountains and their reflection in the water below.
The fully equipped kitchen, rich with texture, features natural stone floors, whimsical checkered tiling, weathered wood cabinets, and a high ceiling with exposed wood beams.
