4 Bedroom House in Durango - Purgatory, Durango

Enjoy this 100-year old rustic log cabin, nestled high in the San Juan National Forest, overlooking peaceful Lemon Lake.
step back in time to enjoy a high-mountain rustic retreat, hidden from the road on 35 quiet acres This charming, quintessential Colorado mountain log cabin has 3 bedrooms + sleeping loft, 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms + stunning lake views and easy access to hiking trails + lake and/or stream fishing. Lemon Lake Log Cabin is a scenic & mellow 25 minute drive from Durango and offers all the quiet, and outdoor access you could want, while not being too far out to enjoy the fun that Durango has to offer. the cabin, along with neighboring big barn (available to rent separately or together for larger parties) are the only 2 properties with lake views along the south end of the lake…bonus: no other visible neighbors!
the owners have opted for 2 separate living rooms to maximize inside seating comfort for families and larger groups, leaving dining to be done al fresco on the deck outside Dining outside can accommodate up to 12 with 2 tables + provided space heaters for colder nights). Fire up the grill outside and enjoy eating on the deck overlooking the lake - perhaps you'll even see the Bald eagles that roost just down by the lake flying about. On the main level, you will find a hard-working kitchen with 3 counter-seats, stocked with a Keurig & Breville espresso machine, French-presses (for tea and coffee), Calphalon and Lodge cookware, along with a wood-burning fireplace and cozy living room (+ TV).
downstairs, there's another living room where you can open the french doors (with phantom screens to keep the critters out) and enjoy the colorado air while watching movies on the larger tv/dvd player
2 tv's + dvd player, board games, vintage fly-fishing library and a 10-year collection of national geographics can entertain you on days spent inside, but even better, head outside to the lake for fly fishing or hiking
100-year old log-beam walls throughout are offset with new furniture from restoration hardware, article and west elm, along with carefully collected vintage pieces to add to the old-school charm Beds have new Cocoon or Saatva mattresses and luxury down pillows and duvets. If you're looking for a classic Colorado cabin experience, (with modern amenities), this is your spot.
bed configuration:
open loft - queen bed + full size sleeper sofa (upper level)
2nd bedroom - king bed (main level)
3rd bedroom - twin bed (main level)
4th bedroom - king bed (lower level)
