Photos and Description of the Durango vacation house rental 3BR/2BA Sleeps 6, Elegant Ranch Styling, Super Clean and Quiet

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SKI TRIPS -- When your busy day is done, come home to Avalon. Hidden in the Florida River Valley. Avalon offers an oasis for the senses and a quiet retreat. Six acres of grounds, half mile of river frontage. Wildlife abounds, and birding is excellent. The guest house is comfortable and immaculately maintained. Landscaping is unmatched anywhere in the Durango area. Walk along the river, stop a while at the tee-pee. Enjoy the labyrinth, the croquet and the many private natural picnic spots. This beautiful property is occasionally used for weddings and other group events. Your tranquility is assured. Durango, Colorado and the Four Corners have so much to offer. We are the perfect vacation destination any season of the year. Guests at Avalon Acres make easy day trips of Mesa Verde or the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Train. There is also rafting, fishing many rivers and lakes, hiking, biking, or kayaking. -- The owners of Avalon do not use e-mail. Please Call
