This is was perfect location for our trip to Durango. Very comfortable cabin and the back deck has the most peaceful and serene setting looking into the woods and the neighbors pond. So delightful!

We had the best time here! Our stay was absolutely magical. The host was gracious and hospitable and the cabin perfectly suited our needs. The natural light from the windows was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed watching sunsets from the deck. Very close to Purgatory which was fantastic!

This place was a perfect vacation spot for my family halfway in between Durango and Silverton close to everything both offer. The property is very quaint and private nestled in a nice neighborhood just off of US Hwy 550. It's a perfect spot for a family with two kids or less. The property has a beautiful property with manicured grounds full of grass and plants. Sitting on the patio overlooking it was delightful. The host was very prepared with clear instructions and reached out proactively to ensure check-in went smoothly. I would strongly recommend this property.

This place offered exactly what was promised: 7 minutes from the ski hill, dog friendly, gorgeous pond just across back fence. Our dogs had a blast pawing around in the snow. The kids had a blast sliding down the snow drifts. The kitchen was spotless and easy to navigate. The only issue we had was that the drains upstairs are pretty slow.

This cabin was so cozy. It was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax for a few days. It IS a bit of a trek to get into town- but not a big deal if you plan your outings accordingly. Great communication, comfy beds, everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Great location although no access to lake despite being in a lake community. Regardless would definitely return.
Great Location!
by Steven
5/5
My wife and I stayed at this house for about a week. The location is great, between downtown Durango and Purgatory Ski Resort. A lot of hiking/biking within a short drive. The house had everything we needed. It was very hot the week we stayed there. A window unit AC upstairs cooled things off but was loud and could be an issue if you are light sleeper. The heat is probably only an issue in July. We highly recommend this house and the property management is really great.
Amazing

This spot is amazing! The cabin is lovely and so comfortable. The location is beautiful and close to town. There are several great hikes nearby. The host was very responsive and helpful. Despite it's rustic location, we were able to work there all week and use streaming services as usual. Definitely would recommend!

Lovely cabin with a fully equipped kitchen for those who enjoy cooking! In a neighborhood, but still felt very private. We enjoyed the large windows, back deck, grill, and wood burning stove. Perfect location - close enough to Durango and very close to ski resort. Would definitely stay here again!

A beautiful property ! Reminds you of a storybook setting in the woods. Only thing that was missing was the water in the nearby lake which is undergoing a retrofit of the damn. So much to do in spite of this. We will look forward to returning one day ! Highly recommended !!!!

Cabin was overall great! Very clean when we arrived. Durango Vacation girls were very helpful at any & all times. I would recommend a ceiling fan upstairs over the bed since alot of the heat rises.
Great place to stay!

Our cabin was clean, comfortable, it had everything that we needed and more. It was nice walking around the grounds of the cabin, very neat and well kept, the view of the pond off the deck was pleasant and relaxing. The location was excellent, it was a pleasant scenic drive to visit Durango, Silverton and Telluride -- the fall colors were spectacular. One day was rainy, so we took the opportunity to drive over Wolfe Creek Pass to visit Creede. Too many things to do and not enough time! Plan to schedule another stay at the same cabin next year!

We had an Amazing time at this cabin. We enjoyed hiking, biking and sliding down purgatory mountain. We rented a razor and drove around in the woods. We went horseback riding by purgatory. We hiked up cascade creek. We drove to Silverton and we spent time in Durango eating at many good restaurants. We also went river rafting at Mild to Wild. So many things to do! Great cabin and well kept landscape. It could use some better pans and utensils for cooking but it worked. We had a wonderful time!
this cabin was perfect

Quiet and Peaceful
by Anne
4/5
The Double J cabin was a wonderful place to go to at the end of long days of sight-seeing and outside activities. It is very quiet and peaceful, and in a very beautiful location. It is about 20 miles outside Durango, and we loved just driving through the wonderful scenery going back and forth between the cabin and our other activities. The listing description and photos were very accurate. The cabin and the outside area are both well maintained and everything was sparkling clean. We did not use the oven or dishwasher in the cabin (my idea of a vacation does not include cooking!) but the cabin appeared to have a large supply of dishes and cooking utensils. There were plenty of towels and even small sizes of amenities such as lotion, shampoo, etc. We liked having wi-fi and the HDTV with satellite. The cabin also contained a nice selection of information about places to eat and activities in the area. The owners seemed to really try to have anything guests would possibly need. We ate at a couple of really good places in Durango. We liked Doughworks for breakfast - they make their own doughnuts and pastries and have a great selection of items. If you really want to go back in time, try the Durango Diner - counter eating and huge portions. We also ate at Chimayo Stone Fired Kitchen, which is a bistro-type restaurant with many different kinds of wood-fired pizzas and small plates (the fire-roasted jalapeno guacamole was great!) We always ride the Durango/Silverton Train, which is always fun. This year we also did the zipline at Full Blast Adventure Center in Durango - something kids of all ages would love. Downtown Durango is full of neat shops and a couple of really good bookstores. We loved the Double J cabin and we love Durango.
Having stayed closer to Durango we were looking for a cabin a bit higher up closer to Purgatory and Silverton. This Cabin was great, It was close enough to town that groceries were not an expedition and close enough to all the hiking trails for us. The House has a king bed upstairs and two twins in the second room. We did not use the sofa as there was only three of us. The Kitchen had enough pots and pans etc to make most food and plenty of towels sheets etc. Having Wifi was handy and appreciated at night. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is my son noted this was the only place in Colorado we have stayed that did not have a fire pit outside, which would have been a delight.
The road is no problem in the summer and could be driven by any car. I would definitely recommend.
Wonderful family holiday cabin
by Lisa
5/5
We were a family of four visiting from Bermuda and we loved the cabin and the area. The cabin and outside area were wonderfully clean and well stocked. The agents were great to deal with and very prompt at answering my queries. I would agree with the previous review that the cabin would benefit from an extra arm chair as the seating would have been tight if our children were bigger. There is so much to do in the area and a couple of good places to eat within a five minute drive, our favourite was the Sow's Ear. Should we ever return to Electra Lake we would definitely stay in the cabin again. Thank you!
Great winter get-away
by Kate
5/5
Wonderful winter get-away. Great location, above snowline in early winter, enabling us to have a beautiful white Christmas. Easy access to great back-country skiing and winter sports at Purgatory and up higher on Molas Pass and Silverton. Manager of property super-responsive and property was well equipped. Super comfortable master bedroom suite! Great place to stay while visiting Durango family.
Thank you.
Beautiful Property
by Liz
4/5
Four of us stayed at this home for five nights. It is a gorgeous property with beautiful views all around. We loved sitting outside and soaking up nature's beauty. The master suite upstairs was very comfortable and roomy, as was the downstairs bedroom. The living area was a little bit tight for four people since the only furniture, besides the kitchen table, was one couch. That was not a big deal since we were usually gone but when we did watch a movie at night someone had to sit in a wooden kitchen chair. The grill worked great as did all kitchen appliances. The coffee pot is very old, and does not have an automatic shutoff so be sure to turn it off before you leave. The kitchen had all cookware and utensils that we needed and we used the stove, oven and grill during our stay- all worked properly. The unit came with toiletries that you would find in a hotel room, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee filters, plenty of bedding and towels. Overall a fabulous property and I only held back a fifth star due to the limited seating in the living area.
Quiet cabin in the woods, away from it all!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! We wanted a place outside of Durango which felt like a mountain cabin and it did. It is 20 miles from most restaurants and activities, so be aware! It had everything we needed and the kids enjoyed exploring! We were there during a hot spell so the one AC unit upstairs was not enough to cool the house for everyone, so even with fans it was a bit uncomfortable. It is the perfect place if you don't want to be in a hotel or condo close to others.
