Welcome to The Leaning Pine

The Leaning Pine is our 40-acre mountain home and small business just 10 minutes west of Durango, Colorado. Perched at 7,500 feet and bordering tens of thousands of acres of wild forest and open wilderness, it’s a place for big views, quiet nights, and true off-the-grid feeling—without being far from town.

About Us

We live here full-time and share the property through our guesthouse, along with the other things we love and build: small-batch salves made from forest-inspired ingredients, life with our Mudi dogs (training and competing in conformation, scent work, herding, barn hunt, and more), and our local wellness offering, Durango Dog Massage.
