My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay. We met Martha, the host upon arrival and we were quickly put at ease from the conversion we had. Comfort and great hospitality are top notch. There are great views of the surrounding mountains from the property. What else can you ask for on vacation, it was great!

Cozy cabin with a personal touch!
This cabin was perfect for us in so many ways: The location with easy access to Durango as well as lots of hiking north of town, the porch with a beautiful view of the mountains, and most of all the amazing hospitality of the hostess, Martha! We have never stayed in a rental that felt so much like home…Martha thought of everything! Her personal touch and warm welcome will keep us coming back!

Beautiful property, home, and owner! Pristine home. After a long road trip to Durango, I opened the refrigerator to find a wide variety of cold beverages. Since it was a warm day, Martha had the fans and AC on for us. The bed was very comfy. The surroundings are spectacular! Very peaceful. A few times a day you will hear the local steam and diesel trains on their journey to/from Silverton. Everything was first class! Martha's a gem. We really don't want to share this with anyone else so we can keep it our secret. :)

Awesome place
We enjoyed our stay at the Rooster. Martha was an awesome host. She made sure we were all set, came by when we first arrived and welcomed us and answered all our questions. The views are tremendous and only 15 minutes to town. Very relaxing stay with a great host in a prime spot. We’ll be staying there again.

Fantastic Animas Valley Property
This is a wonderful property, with expansive views of the beautiful Animas River Valley, located approximately about 10 miles north of Durango and about 1/2 mile from the river (close enough to hear its calming flow). Martha is a great host, perhaps the most accommodating of any we've ever experienced at a vacation rental, providing special personal touches (snacks, drinks, even treats for the dog!) and high quality finishes (very comfortable bed, high thread count cotton sheets, luxuriously soft towels). There are great hiking opportunities nearby, and County Road 250 (on which the property is located) is one of the premier road biking loops around Durango. We hope to be back for a longer stay!

Great Anniversary Getaway!
The Rustic Rooster Inn is a cozy cabin in a gorgeous setting! It is located next to the owners home but it felt very secluded and quiet. Very well stocked with all the amenities as described. Martha surprised us with having a dozen roses, champagne, and glasses set on the desk when we walked in. We were also interested in bike riding so she also provided bikes for us. We enjoyed using the hot tub which was very clean and had fun playing pool. Our favorite thing was to lay in the chaise lounges, enjoy the view, and read books. We highly recommended staying at the Rustic Rooster Inn!

Fantastic Property
My wife and I were looking for a nice and quiet location for a relaxing weekend before out baby was born. The property is on a large land area with great views. It had a hot tub and a bath tub for relaxation. The game area was fantastic with a lot of game options to keep us busy. There was access to many hiking trails and close to the town of Durango. Overall we had a great experience. Martha is a wonderful woman and we definitely plan on coming back to the Rustic Rooster because we loved it so much!
