About this property
Incredible Views, Large Deck, Wood Burning Fireplace! Havland Lake 3bed/3bath
Imagine sitting on the large deck with friends basking in the sun! The kids (or guys) are down playing darts and ping pong while you enjoy peace. You all have your own bathroom so no arguing there!!!! There is a nice wood burning fireplace with ample wood stacked and dry. You look down the private driveway that you haven't seen anyone come up because there are only 4 houses in the neighborhood. You feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere yet you are 10 minutes from the Purgatory mountain, 5 minutes from a small grocery store at Needles and great pizza!, 10 minutes the other way to a large grocery store and Durango hot springs which is a MUST on your stay, and 2 minutes from access to the Glacier Club workout facility, 3 restaurants, steam bath, dry sauna, heated pools and hot tubs - golf, pickle ball, and tennis is seasonal. These amenities are only accessed through our membership there. Downtown Durango is 20 minutes south.
Pick up the train in Rockwood and avoid the chaos of getting on downtown. The Rockwood train station is 5 minutes away! Trust me on this!!!!! Rockwood access is the way to go and only available by calling them. You will thank me at the end of a beautiful day and you are getting off the train while hundreds of others are worn out at this point wishin they were getting off with you!
3 bedrooms and 3 full baths
Upstairs has 2 bedrooms both with attached bathrooms (one king bed and one queen bed)
Downstairs has one bedroom off of living room- full bathroom is across.
It has just been update November of 2023 so new furniture, paint and beds!
Havland lake is across the street and our favorite days in the spring, summer, and fall are spent there. No motors are allowed and you can use our inflatable kayaks to float, swim, trout fish, hammock, fire pit with smores and hot dogs, hike, rest, etc... It is to us one of the most peaceful places on earth and it is 1 minute away!
We have been enjoying this area for 30 years and know how to help you have the prefect vacation there.
Enjoy!

About the host
Hosted by Dean Dickschat
Our family has made Durango our second home for the last 30 years. We are Texans that have come to love the scenery, the laid back attitude, and the seasons we get to enjoy here.
The skiing is of course great but summer and fall colors along with the incredible temperatures will set your mind at ease and away from the stress of work.
We own a winery and brewery north of Houston and just love to do things that help others enjoy, and this home will certainly do that for you. Come stay with us and take in the beauty of this incredible place!
In His Grip!!!

Why they chose this property
There is not a direction you look using this home that doesn't offer incredible views of the signature mountains of this region. Needles, Potato Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Engineer Mountain, Hermosa Cliffs all can be seen from the patio, the living room, the kitchen window, for heavens sake even from the bathrooms!!!!
Sit on the porch and take it in, when the temps are right spend the day with the main doors wide open and enjoy the mountain air.
Havland Lake is one of our very favorite places to spend lounging, fishing for trout (day license required from Needles store just down the road), kayaking in our inflated kayaks which you can use, swimming, snow shoeing in winter, hiking, roasting marshmellows and hot dogs.... and just enjoying the incredible views on this mountain lake that does not allow engines so you can't even imagine how peaceful it is - AND - it is directly across the road from us!!!
Our neighborhood has 4 houses in it and we are the 3rd. They are all 3 plus acres so your stay will not be filled with seeing cars, it will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere yet having great access to the best that this area has to offer.
