Cozy & rustic, yet modern cabin w/lots of charm. Located on working cattle ranch

Country Cabin with 2 inviting bedrooms; downstairs bedroom w/queen bed & upstairs "bunk room" w/4 twin beds. Roomy living space to relax & watch tv (digital antenna channels & smart Blu-ray) or read in the sitting area. The well equipped country kitchen, complete w/stainless steel appliances & custom built cabinetry from locally milled wood, is perfect for cooking/baking, if you prefer to dine in. Guests enjoy a pleasant bathroom with an antique claw foot tub, great for relaxing.

Upon walking into this charming little cabin, you will encounter history. Once used as a grainery, this converted home contains a plethora of rustic barn wood, some of which still has writing from the original farmers who tallied their harvest on the walls. Outside the home is a porch, perfect for sitting and watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets as you sip a hot cup of coffee or an ice cold beverage. In the yard, you will find a propane fire pit and a tree swing for kids.

The cabin sits on 35 acres of farmland. Here you will see chickens, horses, cows, and our farm dog, Bingo. With chickens and cattle on site, there is the opportunity to enjoy farm fresh eggs (seasonally, from spring to fall) and USDA certified grass fed beef from our farm at an additional cost.

At certain times of the year, you can witness hay production in action. The property is mostly open field but has the luxury of shade from willow trees that have been standing for over a century. The nights out here are peaceful, and you'll find big skies that boast a beautiful stargazing experience.

There are plenty of places to visit and things to do nearby. This home is situated almost smack between Durango and Pagosa Springs. It's about a 40 minute drive to Durango, and 50 minutes to Pagosa Springs, which is famous for its natural hot springs. Mesa Verde National Park is a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike, which is about a 1.5 hr drive from "The Grainery". Closer attractions are Navajo Lake, Sky Ute Resort and Casino, and Sun Ute Recreation Center, all of which are just 10 miles away. A 30 minute drive will take you to Chimney Rock National Monument. Bayfield, Colorado is 20 minutes away, and just a bit further from there is Vallecito lake. Skiers will especially appreciate the fact that we have two ski resorts to choose from, Purgatory and Wolf Creek, both of which are under a 90 minute drive. If you prefer to snowshoe or cross country ski, Vallecito Nordic center is just over 30 miles from here. Sledding is also a fun activity to participate in, and there are several places nearby. There are many recreational activities in the area, and this is a nice central hub.

All in all, this vacation rental is a great location for families, couples, hikers, hunters, fishers, boaters, skiers and anybody wanting to a place to stay while exploring Durango, Colorado and the surrounding areas!
