Perfect studio in Durango for a cozy getaway

Welcome to your peaceful mountain retreat, surrounded by towering ponderosa pines and visiting wildlife. Though just minutes from town, you'll feel as if you've escaped to your own private sanctuary. The only nearby sign of civilization is a distant driveway, leaving you with the serene impression that you've truly gotten away from it all.

This recently renovated basement efficiency apartment offers a bit of mountain paradise close to town. With its own private entrance and thoughtfully designed interior, this furnished space is perfect for one or two individuals seeking a comfortable and quiet place to stay. The path to the apartment is a gravel-packed, approximately 50-foot-long path that leads down to a cool and cozy retreat, naturally staying comfortable year-round. A charming brick heater adds warmth and character during colder months.

Inside, the 400-square-foot studio is well-arranged to make the most of the space. A queen-sized bed, closet, dresser, and side table are separated by a pony wall from the living area, which includes a recliner, dining table for two, and soft lighting for a relaxed atmosphere. The kitchenette has all the essentials, microwave, toaster oven, hot plate, refrigerator, coffee pot, hot pot, and plenty of storage. It's ready for everything from a quick breakfast to a quiet dinner at home. The bathroom features a stand-up shower, single-sink vanity, well-lit mirror, and convenient storage. Complimentary toiletries and a hair dryer are provided to make your stay easy from the start.

Outside, enjoy the peaceful surroundings from your private patio with a small table and two chairs, and feel free to stretch out in the backyard when the weather's nice. Parking is available on the wide section of the gravel driveway. In winter, you can park closer to the entrance. All-wheel drive or 4WD is recommended due to the incline.

Friendly animal companions share the property: a sweet dog named Marigold (always ready for a belly rub) and two curious cats who roam outside during the day and sleep indoors at night. Deer often wander freely through the property, beautiful to watch but best admired from a distance, as they can be unpredictable. On rare occasions, bears may visit the area; therefore, please refrain from leaving food in your car or trash outside.

Perfect for traveling professionals, this apartment is near Mercy Regional Medical Center and Animas Surgical Hospital. Grocery stores like City Market and Natural Grocers are conveniently located nearby, and you're just minutes from US-160 for quick commutes. Enjoy hiking trails, river activities, and downtown restaurants within a short drive.

Come enjoy the peace, beauty, and gentle rhythm of mountain living - close enough to Durango's amenities, yet far enough to let nature soothe your soul!
