The Big Barn is special & unique property, situated on a private 35 acres in the San Juan National Forest, with spectacular lake views of peaceful Lemon Lake.

Craving Zen privacy but also proximity to town? The Big Barn is a scenic 25 minute drive from Durango and offers all the quiet, and outdoor access you could want, while not being too far to enjoy the fun that Durango has to offer. The Big Barn, along with neighboring Lemon Lake Log Cabin (available to rent separately or together for larger groups) are the only 2 properties with lake views along the south end of the lake…bonus: no other visible neighbors! While staying in Big Barn, enjoy our 3 paddleboards, use of a kayak, a basketball court, and a foosball table. You may never want to leave!

Enjoy the small but mighty chef's kitchen with professional grade gas stove and hidden under-counter refrigerators or grill outside on the Weber gas grill. Head upstairs to an open plan sleeping area with a vaulted massive timber framed ceiling with breathtaking views overlooking the lake. Flip on the gas fireplace for extra cozy nights, and enjoy the brand new King bed, along with 2 private twin bed set ups (see pictures) which provide just enough privacy for all the sleepers. Mattresses are Cocoon, bedding is a combo of flannel and luxury cotton sheeting, along with goose down duvets.

We have board games for you to enjoy, along with Starlink internet and streaming on the Roku tv downstairs. Kitchen is stocked with Keurig & Breville espresso machines, French-presses (for tea and coffee), Calphalon and Lodge cookware.

The home is now equipped with Ultra High-Speed Starlink internet.
