If you expect to arrive after 6:00 PM, please call us in advance so we can arrange a late check-in for you.

Cleaning
O-Bar-O strives to provide the cleanest, most comfortable cabins in Durango. We ask that you be mindful that guests are arriving after you who expect the same experience. If the cabin requires extraordinary cleaning beyond our standard turnover, an additional $100 cleaning fee will be assessed.

Missing items; excessive soiling; or damage to furniture, linens, carpets, and other property will be assessed and then billed to the customer at our replacement cost, which may include labor costs. We will always try to be transparent in our communication about damage to cabins. Unapproved, late checkouts may be subject to additional fees.

May 1st – November 30th: There is a three (3) night minimum on all cabins. Big Bear Den has a five (5) night minimum. 

December 1st – April 30th: We offer two (2) night minimums on our Winter Cabins. And Big Bear Den has a three (3) night minimum.

Can’t stay 2-3 nights? Call for considerations for your stay.

All reservations are subject to availability.

Guests are responsible for payment for all days reserved. 

Cancellation Policy
We understand that life happens. Our cancellation policies are designed to be fair to all of our guests:

• Within 14 days of arrival — You are responsible for the full cost of your reservation.
• Early check-out or shortened stay — No refund will be issued.

Postponing Your Reservation
Need to reschedule? Contact us as soon as possible and no later than 14 days before your arrival. We will apply your deposit toward a future available date at no charge. Postponements requested within 14 days of arrival cannot be accommodated.

Multiple Cabin Bookings (Applies to group bookings, family reunions, holidays, and special events)

• 60+ days before arrival — Cancel for a full deposit refund, less a $75 fee per cabin canceled.
• Less than 60 days before arrival — Deposits are forfeited and cancellation fees apply.
• Postponements — 60 days notice is required to carry deposits forward to a new date at no charge.

This policy applies whether one person pays for all cabins or each cabin is booked individually.

Rates and policies are subject to change and may vary during high-impact periods and for special requests.

Accommodation fees apply for groups reserving 4 or more cabins. Please call for policies and pricing.

Groups reserving three or more cabins are required to pay a damage deposit of $200 per cabin due at the time balance is paid. Your damage deposit will be refunded to you within one week of departure if your cabins, decks and the grounds are left in satisfactory condition. The Accommodation fee is separate from the damage deposit.


Reservations are strongly suggested. An advance payment of one night’s stay is required at the time of reservation. The balance of payment will be due upon arrival. If you would like to pay in full in advance, that is fine too. Payment will be processed at 6PM the day of scheduled arrival using the card given for the deposit. Sometimes, last minute cabins may be available. When making reservations, please specify the exact dates of arrival and departure as well as the number of guests in your party. State and local taxes are not included in quoted prices.

Occupancy & Extra Guests
Base occupancy is 2 guests for smaller cabins and 4 guests for all others. An extra guest fee of $30 per person per night applies for any guest age 2 and over beyond the base occupancy. Some cabins can accommodate up to 6 guests. The Big Bear Den is priced as a flat rate for up to 10 guests. An extra guest fee of $30 per person per night applies for any guest age 2 and over beyond the base occupancy.

There are minimum night stays required. Check the availability calendar for information. If your initial dates are reserved, simply email or call for availability or if you would like to be contacted in the event of a cancellation – we keep an active waiting list.

All cabins have fully equipped kitchens and views out picture windows that face the river. All cabins have either a stone gas fireplace or freestanding gas stove. Cabins feature covered porches or redwood decks or flagstone patios. For the comfort of our guests, O-Bar-O is a smoke free property.

Durango is located at 6,522 feet above sea level, and O-Bar-O is at 7,600ft. We find the best way to enjoy the high altitude is to remain hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Our high-altitude climate tends to fluctuate significantly day-to-day, so be sure to bring appropriate clothing with you. No matter when you are visiting, it is a good idea to bring plenty of warm layers and a rain/snow-proof shell.

We warmly welcome your canine companions! Six of our ten cabins are pet friendly: Creekside, Birdsnest, Bluespruce, Aspen, Ponderosa, and Big Bear Den.

• 1–2 dogs under 50 lbs — $100 one-time pet fee
• Dogs over 50 lbs — An additional $20 applies
• Pets in non-pet-friendly cabins — A charge of $100 per night plus the cost of any damages will be assessed

O-Bar-O is pleased to offer our guests a 10% discount at Durango Hot Springs, located in the beautiful Animas Valley. They have towels available there, so no need to bring your O-Bar-O towels or robes. That way your towels remain here for use in your cabin!

When available, we would love to show you around the property.

O-Bar-O does not offer transportation to/from the airport. There are taxi services available. Please search Google and plan ahead.

O-Bar-O does not offer room service, but we do offer food packages and fill the fridge options.

The good news is that we have abundant wildlife here in the Florida River Valley! There are binoculars and a book on Colorado Birds & Mammals in your cabin to help you enjoy and learn more. (There are also books on Colorado Wildflowers and Fish!)

Keep your cabin doors closed at night to avoid any unwanted guests in your cabin. If you have any trouble, please let us know ASAP!

Grin and BEAR it!
Seeing a bear will put a smile on your face, but remember, bears are wild animals. They may seem really cute or even docile, but you don’t want to find out otherwise. Observe them from afar (use your zoom camera setting) and give them space. For more information on bears, visit Durango’s really cool Bear Smart website — bearsmartdurango.org
