Mineshaft, Creek front, Hot Tub, Close to Town, Ski Area 20 miles

The Durango Mine Shaft, a humble vacation rental in the Animas Valley in Durango, is nestled among some of the largest pines in the Animas Valley and bordered by a seasonal creek which can be viewed from the two decks or from the comfort of the hot tub. This home offers a true Southwest Colorado experience. Indoors, light a fire and make your gourmet meal in the kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. Days filled with activities will have you sleeping well in this home, which sleeps 10. WI FI and cable tv mean you don't lose touch with the world, unless you choose to! For booking information, and information about additional activities available, contact Scott at number listed below.

This home is a 1970's A frame style cabin that has an eclectic Colorado Outdoor Lover's decor. It is set back off the road, on a 2 acre property with an 8 ft privacy fence in the front dividing the shared driveway with another home. There are tons of hiking trails within a short drive. It is located a half mile from Trimble Hot Springs & Spa and 10 minutes to Durango City Limits.

This home is best suited for folks who want to gather together in an open floor plan, enjoy the serenity of the tall trees, play outside during the day in Durango's ENORMOUS backyard, and live the good life in the moment. This is our cabin in the woods that is close to town. It does not boast elegant finishing touches, suburban curb appeal, or the shine of a new home. But it has upgrades where we think it counts, is comfortable and unique. We hope you will enjoy it too!

Durango's Premier Sailing Adventure Company, Peaks and Tides, offers sailing charters for morning and sunset cruises, lessons, team building stay and sail packages and more with exclusive offers for Mineshaft guests.

Cozy Mountainside Getaway

Beautiful property tucked back next to a creek- very private- only 1/2 mile from the Durango Hot Springs Resort which was the highlight of our trip! Beautiful house with comfy beds. This house was stocked with everything we needed for a 2 night stay, we didn’t have to bring anything but ourselves!

Quick weekend in Durango

Just dropped in for a quick weekend. The location was great and we walked to the hot springs for a day and it was amazing.It is a very rustic cabin that was a little hard to find at our late, late night arrival. But once our found it, we were able to enjoy the scenery, hot tub, and area fully! It served its purpose well and we enjoyed our stay.Great hosts that were very responsive.

Loved our stay. Beutiful scenery. It was a bit difficult for my 91 year old dad to get into the house; just for anyone with disabilities, a bit of a uphill path and 10 stairs up.

Weekend Getaway with Friends

Rented this house for a weekend getaway with our friends. We were all impressed with the house, it was gorgeous and so was the view off the deck. Close enough to town and well worth it versus staying in a hotel for the weekend. Highly recommend this house for you next stay.

There were 5 of us that needed a place to stay instead of driving home. The Mineshaft was the perfect place and close to the venue. Wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely would stay there again.
