Welcome to The Durango Lodge—an exceptional 5,000+ sq ft luxury log retreat designed for unforgettable gatherings. Ideally situated in the scenic rolling hills of Eastern Iowa, just 20–25 minutes from the Field of Dreams Movie Site and near the Heritage Trail, Galena, and Sundown Mountain Resort. This 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom home features four private suites with en suite baths, jetted tubs, and in-room amenities. One suite is ADA-compliant, and a Savaria Concord elevator services all three levels. The main living area showcases a dramatic A-frame design with soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and a striking two-story stone fireplace. An upper-level loft overlooks the grand space, and the kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless appliances, and custom cabinetry. The lower level includes a game room, wet bar, and private office with separate exterior access. A bright solarium features a tranquil indoor pond with a waterfall. Enjoy a completely new wraparound composite deck, ground-level patio, and fire pit. Grounds include two greenhouses (one heated), a 16x20 shed with attic storage, mature landscaping, and new fencing. Smart features include app-enabled locks, Nest thermostats, and fire detection. With nearby attractions and year-round recreation, Durango Lodge offers flexibility for private retreat living, multi-generational use, or hosting group stays. Furnishings negotiable.
