Mountain View Cabin with Two Private Decks, near Purgatory & Electra Lake

Along the banks of the Florida River, twelve miles outside historic downtown Durango, O-Bar-O Cabins has served as a guest getaway for more than half a century. The property sits among pine trees on a peaceful stretch of riverfront, hosting nine distinct cabins that offer secluded retreats for travelers seeking a connection to the San Juan National Forest. Prior to becoming a lodging destination, the site functioned as a Scout camp and was once home to a hippie commune, adding layers of local history to the current experience. Guests frequently utilize the private decks attached to each unit to watch the river flow or enjoy the changing Colorado seasons, from wildflower-filled springs to the golden aspens of autumn. Adventure seekers utilize the location as a base for mountain biking, hiking, and river rafting in warmer months, while winter visitors access nearby backcountry ski and snowmobile trails, as well as alpine skiing at Purgatory and Wolf Creek. A distinctive feature of the O-Bar-O experience is the authentic riverside teepee, where certified Durango massage therapists provide treatments in a serene, natural setting. This service can be booked for the teepee or delivered directly to the privacy of a guest's cabin, with advanced reservations recommended to secure appointments. The business maintains accreditation with the Colorado Tourism Office, the Durango Chamber of Commerce, and the Durango Tourism Office, ensuring a recognized standard of hospitality for those exploring the Durango area.
