About this house rental
The best of Colorado awaits at Camp Middle Bear. Nestled beneath tall pines and complete with your own private hot tub, this is the perfect mountain getaway for connection with family and friends. And did we mention the location? This newly-remodeled, AIR CONDITIONED 3-bedroom/2-bath home is located in the gorgeous Animas Valley, just 20 minutes north of Historic Downtown Durango and 15 minutes south of Purgatory Ski Resort. Its central location ensures you'll have easy access to all the great offerings in the surrounding area for a memorable Durango mountain vacation.
Durango's stunning red cliffs serve as the idyllic backdrop to this professionally-designed home. Step inside to an open floor plan and a spacious dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows where you'll want to gather for a good meal, board games, and views of the abundant wildlife. Or maybe you'll opt to relax in one of the window seats in the living room. With over 300 days of sunshine annually in Durango, it's always a good time to grab a book and settle in.
The gourmet kitchen is sure to captivate your inner-chef with its soapstone countertops and modern finishes, all stocked to a budding chef's delight. The main floor also offers a private bedroom with a queen bed and an adjacent, full bathroom. The two additional private bedrooms are located on the second floor. One room, with a queen bed and the second, with a bunk bed.
Need another place to rest your head after a long day playing in the mountains? Feel free to use the cabinet bed in the loft that easily converts into a queen bed. You'll feel like you're camping indoors as you gaze up through the skylight to the starry Colorado skies above. The loft also serves as a great bonus area for kids or other guests to enjoy their own space. Lastly, a thoughtfully-designed downstairs laundry room with a cozy desk area offers a quiet spot for conference calls–or to settle in and write the next great American novel.
We hope you'll make Camp Middle Bear the centerpiece of your next vacation. You're sure to leave with indelible memories.

Comfortable cabin, nice amenities and great areas to sit together. Beautiful views, quiet surroundings. Easy to get to town or to skiing. Definitely would stay here again.

We recently stayed here with my older parents and young children, and it was perfect for all ages! The kids especially loved the lofted space and hot tub, while my parents enjoyed the large dining table, which was great for family games and meals together. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare family meals. The location was ideal—just outside of town for a peaceful atmosphere, but still easily accessible to downtown. We also appreciated how close it was to great hiking trails and beautiful spots for leaf peeping. Overall, a wonderful stay for a multi-generational family getaway!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. With grown children and family spread out, it was such a great time to reconnect, Durango holds many memories for us. We did bring a service dog with us, and my parents that joined us for dinner brought their two dogs with them (they live in Cortez), but to our surprise we were visited by someone who said they were the property manager and told us we needed to get rid of the dogs or we needed to leave. I had no messages within the app, no email, no phone call. We were very upset by this visit and how she handled it. We were planning to rebook for two other visits in the fall and winter but, even if it was our overlooking on the booking, we felt she was not professional in how she handled things. The home is beautiful, it is the perfect spot and we enjoyed the short time we had, but unfortunately we will not be returning.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2021
House is beautiful. We saw lots of deer. Lots of towels. There was a huge snow storm the day before we arrived. Property was without TV because it was a smart TV, and they're was no wifi available. Also, the property was freezing cold. We had a fire going all night long and mornings. Thank goodness we found some space heaters to help warm the property. The only real issue we had is we were covered in what appeared to be dog hair. All of our jackets and clothing had alot of animal hair. I personally love dogs, but I don't like dog hair covering my clothing.
