About this cabin rental
Winter policies are in effect to include the outdoor bathroom & tepee are closed.
Staying at The Roberta Barr is a one of a kind Colorado experience. Inside & out it is rustic perfection.
We have rented this cabin & property since 2017 & have 10 star reviews from every guest. We rent on a very limited basis.
The property is named for the woman who lived here for 75 years & who was an important figure in the Durango community. The Roberta Barr has been renown throughout the Animas River Valley for many years.
The Roberta Barr includes a beautifully restored historic 1930s log cabin with king bed, glamping Honey House barn with hanging king bed & two twin loft beds & comfy Sioux tepee with queen bed. The cabin is furnished with the utmost regard to quality, taste & detail.
The 8 acre park like setting includes beautiful manicured & natural areas. The property is bordered by 1/3 mile of the Hermosa Creek & boasts a good sized trout pond. The property also has a large clear water natural swimming hole. There are over 120 fruit trees throughout the property including cherry, apple, pear, peach, plum, apricot & a large raspberry patch.
Owners Alice & Eric Foultz are long-time 2nd homeowners in Durango. During bicycle rides they would visit with Roberta, who in her late 90's would sit on her front porch & say hello to those walking or biking past her amazing historic rose & perennial flower gardens. Sensing how special this property was naturally & emotionally to those in the community, Alice & Eric purchased the property in 2014 making a commitment to restore it to Roberta's former glory & beyond.
The Cabin was not just remodeled but it has been taken to the highest end of luxury & comfort. The historic structure remains intact, but the the interior has been remodeled & decorated by highly acclaimed architect & interior designer.
Roberta's rose & perennial flower gardens have been considered the finest in the Animas Valley & we work hard to maintain & exceed her standard.
The Roberta Barr is ideally located 10 miles north of Durango's Historic District & 15 miles south of the Purgatory Ski area.
The village of Hermosa is walking distance & includes a restaurant, convenience store & liquor store.
Just 2 miles from the property is PJ's Gourmet Market, Dalton Ranch Golf Club & Durango Hot Springs & Spa. James Ranch Grill & Farm to Table Market is only 1 mile away.

Online pictures don’t do justice to this immaculately developed and maintained property! Perfect location in the quiet and scenic neighborhood of Hermosa, close to downtown Durango, Purgatory and the greater Animas valley. Great fishing on site in the stocked pond and adjacent Hermosa creek. The cabin and barn have been beautifully curated and stocked with everything you could possibly need. We were blown away with our stay at the Roberta Barr. The owners were extremely hospitable, friendly and communicative with all instructions needed to fully enjoy the property.

Amazing property with running streams and waterfalls, orchards, Kentucky Bluegrass lawns, wildlife, flower gardens and forests. The cabin is lovely for two people. The Honey House was charming. The owners Wemdy above and beyond at every turn. Peaceful, beautiful sanctuary. We hardly ever left the property. Highly recommend.
One of a kind!

The pictures look great but I can't begin to tell you how blown away we were by this property when we arrived and saw it in person. The grounds are like you have been dropped into a fairy tail, multiple brooks/streams, beautiful green grass with wildflower areas, trout pond stocked with large trout that have rarely been fished, easy access to the Hermosa Creek and a beautiful natural looking but man made swimming hole. Our kids thought they had died and gone to heaven. Overall could not have asked for a better getaway for our family. Eric and Alice were also available daily if we needed anything and were great with info about places to eat or things to do in the area, could not have been better host.

We spent five nights of a family escape just enjoying the grounds, fishing, and taking day trips to the mountains. One of the most unique and perfect properties we've visited. Thanks to Eric and Alice, and to groundskeeper Aaron. We'll be back.
