Welcome to the Lightner Creek Chalet, an exquisite sanctuary nestled in the heart of Durango's pristine landscape, where every detail promises an unforgettable retreat. Just a stone's throw from historic downtown Durango, our secluded valley offers a timeless escape, surrounded by the majestic La Plata Mountains and the gentle flow of Lightner Creek.
As you meander along the picturesque creek, you'll be greeted by our 24-acre fenced-in property, accessible via a quaint bridge. Follow the winding driveway through cottonwood trees to discover our cozy chalet, tucked against the mountainside, where serenity awaits. ...just added... new Italian paver patio with river rock wall and freshly-stained wraparound decks!
Step inside and immerse yourself in the rustic elegance of our chalet, boasting a chalet-style design with expansive windows framing panoramic vistas. The main level welcomes you with a spacious open floor plan, featuring a fully-stocked kitchen and a dining area for eight. Sink into plush new couches in the living room, where designer rugs and a hearth fireplace create an ambiance of comfort and relaxation. A convenient half bath, laundry room, and wraparound deck offer perfect spots to savor your morning coffee or bask in the sweeping views.
The master bedroom, which is on the main floor, indulges with a California King-size bed and beautiful NEW master bathroom spa shower with floor to ceiling glass enclosure. With sleek, modern fixtures and premium tiling, this sanctuary promises to elevate your stay to new heights of relaxation and rejuvenation. Check out the pictures of this luxurious bathroom.
