Staying at The Roberta Barr is a one of a kind Colorado experience. Named for the woman who owned the property for 75 years, The Roberta Barr includes a beautifully restored historic 1937 log cabin. The Joshua Cabin is furnished with the utmost regard to quality, taste & detail & includes a king sized bed.

 

From April through October, the property also includes the Honey House glamping barn (king sized bed) & the Sleeping Ute Tipi (queen).

The 7-acre park-like setting includes manicured as well as natural areas. The property is bordered by 1/3 mile of Hermosa Creek & boasts a good sized trout pond. There are over 100 fruit trees throughout the property including cherry, apple, pear, peach, plum, apricot & a large raspberry patch. Roberta's rose & perennial flower gardens have been considered the finest in the Animas Valley & we have continued her legacy.

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 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 its former glory.

​

We are honored that our purchase of this property helped fund the largest cash gift ever to Fort Lewis College in Durango by Roberta's estate. She attended Fort Lewis, was a school teacher & principal in Durango for many years & her estate endowed teacher scholarships at "The Fort."
