This well appointed, low key cabin is the storybook mountain cabin. Nestled in an aspen grove and sitting slightly above Lake Purgatory it boasts a short walk to the private lake making it easy to go canoeing or paddle boarding. At the end of a short dirt road with one other cabin on the road, this home feels like a secluded paradise! Winter months provide a backcountry sort of experience without having to go deep into the woods. While the cabin is just over a mile from HWY 550, during a snow storm guests may have to park approximately 50 yards from the cabin and walk, ski, or snowshoe in. Even though the road is maintained, the hill at the top of the driveway becomes unsurpassable in big snowstorms. This is exciting for the adventurers at heart! If this is for you, make sure you grab a bundle of wood on your way in and warm up next to the fire! During summer months the driveway greets you with wild chamomile and mint, the lake sparkles beyond the aspen's leaves and the Needles Cliffs hang proudly around the backdrop. Find quiet solitude, and gather with your closest friends and family here. Surrounded by aspens, this is a gorgeous resting spot for leaf peeping adventures. Soak in the view from the pictures windows, bird watch from bed, and gaze at the incredible night sky. Offering two cozy rooms with baseboard heat, picture windows, and comfortable beds, plus a sleeping loft/media room with futon sofas, this cabin is the perfect setting for an intimate group to call home base while they explore Durango's big back yard! No matter what the season is, our guests find good friends and family around the fire pit on the patio, and enjoy gourmet meals in the fully stocked and updated kitchen. Two mudrooms offer space for all the mountain gear you may need. Equipped with modern washer and dryer, guests can pack light and make themselves at home. The log walls have been chinked and restored offering a rustic feel in the newly remodeled bathroom and bedroom. Owned by an artist, no detail has been forgotten with the aesthetic in this small yet open floor plan. We invite you to bring your adventurous side, your inner mountain pioneer, and come relax!

Travel Distances / Times (approximate): DRIVING Downtown Durango: 27 miles / 35 minutes Purgatory Resort: 2.5 miles / 7 minutes The Durango Train:  28 miles / 36 minutes Mesa Verde National Park: 62 miles / 1 hour, 10 minutes Silverton, CO: 25 miles / 40 minutes Durango - La Plata County Airport: 42 miles / 52 minutes More details about Castle Rock Retreat: Spacious, comfortable, cozy, private and convenient are just a few of the words that accurately describe this newly constructed, mountain-contemporary home.  This well-appointed home is reached via paved, state highway that connects downtown Durango and Purgatory Resort, plus a 1.3 mile, well-maintained, gravel, mountain-neighborhood road that is accessible by all passenger vehicles in summer (all-wheel-drive required during snow season).  This road passes a private, alpine lake that is accessible by residents and guests of the neighborhood. The open gravel parking area allows space for three vehicles directly in front of the home. Stepping through the front entry foyer, guests will find themselves in the great room with mountain views that are hard to overlook through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows.  The glass doors between the living room and the main-level deck lead to one of the outdoor seating areas, with mountain views that impress even the most experienced mountain traveler.  Castle Rock itself, is one of the main cliff-like peaks seen in this view and is a popular hiking destination, accessed via the Elbert Creek Trail.  Inside the living room is a large sectional sofa, which faces a wood-burning fireplace, large TV and the spectacular views. From the living room, the open floor plan leads to the dining room, with formal dining table seating for six, plus seating for four more at the adjacent kitchen island countertop.  The kitchen is appointed with most items to satisfy the discerning home chef, plus custom tile and granite, contemporary appliances and room to prepare a large meal. The BBQ grill on the main deck adds another cooking option.  The mountain view from the kitchen and adjacent bar area, is of Engineer Mountain. One of the area’s iconic peaks, the 12,968 foot mountain is a popular hiking and mountain biking area in summer and passed by all travelers on the famous San Juan Scenic Byway when driving to the town of Silverton and beyond. Also on the main level of the home, is the master bedroom with king-sized bed, ensuite bath and yet more panoramic views. The master bath includes dual vanities, a large, walk-in shower and custom tile decor. Completing the ground level is a powder room half bath and laundry closet with full-sized clothes washer and dryer. A staircase from the living room leads to the second floor, and a loft area that is open to, and overlooks, the living room. This loft makes a nice additional seating area with sofa and book cases, a reading nook, or a secondary gathering spot for some of the group when needed. Possibly one of the most unique features of this home is the covered deck on the second level.  This outdoor ‘living room’ includes a sofa, chairs, coffee table, gas fireplace and once again, spectacular mountain and forest views.  Guests find  themselves gravitating to this spot even though the home offers multiple areas of lounging comfort. Also on the upper level of the home are two additional bedrooms and a full bath.   One bedroom includes a king-sized bed and beautiful views.  The other bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements via a bunk bed configuration which includes a full-sized bed and three twins beds.  The full bath between these bedrooms includes tub, shower and dual vanities.  Finishing the upper level is a home office for the traveler who needs the occasional work/study space. Stay at this home to experience style, comfort, convenience, beautiful views, contemporary mountain design and an elegant gathering spot in Durango and Southwest Colorado. Please be aware that the road is accessible to all passenger cars in summer, but requires all-wheel-drive, or four-wheel-drive, medium to high clearance vehicles in snowy, winter conditions, and is not recommended for street motorcycle travel.  Please contact us with any questions regarding vehicle access. Please note there is a security camera outside on the front of the home to monitor snow. It is motion detected and pointed high to see driveway and road. There are no other cameras inside the home.  Contact us with any questions to help you decide that this is an excellent vacation home or retreat for your group.

***** 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.
