Hawks Nest Home vacation rental luxury cabin in Durango Colorado.

With about a ten-minute drive to downtown Durango, this home in the wooded foothills just outside of town, offers the best of both quiet country living and the convenience of the city only a few minutes away.

A well-maintained, 1/2 mile winding gravel road leads to the private, hillside house with outdoor living spaces surrounding the home from which wildlife is frequently seen.  The home is secluded and private, yet has expansive views of nearby woodland hills and the granite peaks of the La Plata Mountains to the West.

Inside, the four bedroom, three bath, Rocky Mountain styled home offers the comfort and conveniences of a modern dwelling while retaining mountain charm, with log and wood construction that includes hand-hewn pine posts and stair rails, plus pine cabinetry, ceilings and trim.

The bright, sunny living room is adjacent to a beautiful hot tub solarium on one side and on the other side is one of several decks, this one including a seating area and outdoor grill.  Other outdoor space includes the main deck which extends across the entire front of the home, and a lower patio with rustic log-constructed porch swing.

Modern-meets-rustic in the kitchen, with contemporary appliances, granite countertops and pine cabinetry, plus a full complement of cookware and serving items to satisfy most every home chef.  The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and an oversized window seat adds more space for friends and family to gather.  Just off the dining room, and outside on the front deck is a dining table and chair set; perfect for larger dinner settings or taking in the sunset.

Also on the main level is a bedroom and bath, with two more bedrooms and a bath on the upper level, and the fourth bedroom plus full bath and den is on the lower level of the home.   The den includes a futon couch/bed conversion for extra sleeping space. One of the upper bedrooms has a private balcony with beautiful views plus a window nook bench seat.

The bed configuration includes a bedroom on the main level with king size bed, an upper level bedroom with king size bed, the 3rd bedroom also on the upper level with queen size bed, two bunk beds (four twins, total) and a toddler bed in the lower level bedroom, and a full-size futon sofa bed in the lower-level den.

This home is located in a rural neighborhood with very few homes and offers tremendous privacy due to the hillside, wooded setting.  A few homes are visible in the far distance but there are no other homes or neighbors in the immediate vicinity of this peacefully secluded retreat.
