Our spacious redwood deck is a favorite perch for watching Durango wildlife go by. Summer brings hummingbirds, Bullock's orioles, and western tanagers; woodpeckers, grosbeaks, finches, and jays show up year-round. Deer and elk wander our four wooded acres almost daily, and every so often a bear passes through. After dark, the outdoor hot tub puts you under a sky full of stars.
We keep field guides and a few pairs of binoculars on hand, so you don't need your own gear to start spotting species from the deck.
Hummingbirds, woodpeckers, grosbeaks, jays, nuthatches, and finches visit close enough to watch without leaving your chair.
Our four wooded acres of ponderosa pine and scrub oak draw deer and elk most days, with an occasional bear passing through.
The outdoor hot tub is available 24/7, year-round — a quiet spot to soak under a genuinely dark, star-filled sky.
