The “campsite” is basically in the host’s backyard, which I wasn’t expecting. And after the second day he told us the price was $20 per person instead of $20 per site, even though I made the reservation for the appropriate number of people. Also got to listen to him do construction work (e.g., hammering, power tools) all weekend which is hardly the experience you’re looking when camping. Strange experience all around.

Mountain Retreat Cabin
Clean cozy starry night
Staying at Mike's beautiful cabin overlooking Durango was exactly what I needed. It was warm, spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed. Mike made a fire in the stove and was fun to talk to. He lives in the loft space in the cabin, and I stayed in the bedroom downstairs with my dog. I totally felt like I had enough privacy and Mike was super welcoming. My favorite part was going on a stroll in the morning to see the sunrise alpenglow over the snow studded peaks. The cabin is not too far from Durango and it's a scenic drive. You eventually turn onto a dirt road that is easy to navigate and well maintained. I even had service out there, so it would be hard to get lost. Definitely would stay here again next time I'm in the area!

My stay at Mike's property was amazing. His land is gorgeous and I really enjoyed wandering around. The loft in his cabin is a perfect little nook to be comfortable and enjoy the space. I would come back here in a heartbeat. He is so pleasant to be around and it was amazing to see what hard work he put into building his cabin and other infrastructure around his 40 acres. I will recommend this spot over and over again.

Mountain Retreat Cabin
The Mountain Retreat Cabin was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Mike has created an amazing space and I can't wait to go back! We spent the morning riding bikes in Durango with our pup and then napped in the hammock on the property. We cooked in the cabin and enjoyed breakfast on the deck. It's remote but close to Durango, beautiful, quiet, cozy, and an overall great experience.

Peaceful Forest Camping
Easy to find campsite and Mike was a very hospitable host! He helped us out after forgetting our tent poles (*cough* rookie mistake *cough*) and with the fire ban that weekend. The site itself was beautiful and well kept. Amazing sunset views and beautiful landscaping around the camp area, with a nice hammock and picnic table for relaxing. Highly recommend this spot and would definitely go back!

Mike’s place was amazing. Beautifully decorated and incredibly serene. We were able to cook a full meal and take a hot bath after many days out on the road. The patio is a lovely spot for meals and the bedroom in the loft is incredibly cozy. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a cute place to relax!
