Timber Village at Glacier Club
 1580 Glacier Club Drive, La Plata County, Durango, Colorado
Nestled into rock outcroppings formed by glaciers long ago with the etchings of the glaciers on the existing rock walls still visible, this exquisite grouping of stand-alone cabins features a unique and elegant design that incorporates a multitude of stunning views from virtually every window within the structures.
Each cabin is beautifully positioned for privacy, yet clustered in a way that gives the true sense of community. Ranging from 2,650-to-3,100 square feet, each of these luxurious homes has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and is reflective of the work of some of the finest local craftsmen working in conjunction with the builder, Scott Samborski. Scott is known for crafting some of the finest homes in the Rocky Mountains—from Aspen to Durango. Incorporating sophisticated designs, uncompromising craftsmanship and the latest technology, Scott builds truly distinctive mountain homes. And the Timber Village cabins are no exception, including an impressive array of luxury features while being surrounded by the natural beauty of the Glacier Club and its wonderful amenities including 27 holes of golf, tennis and private Clubhouse with fine dining, swimming pool and fitness facility.
