This was a fantastic home and perfect for our family! Beautiful kitchen with all the amenities of not only kitchen items but also with stocked pantry items. Our only complaint would be the mosquitios as we couldn't enjoy the hot tub without getting eaten! Would definitely stay here again!

Some bothersome things
I should have looked closer but didn’t realize one bedroom had a half wall open to the living room. Kind of a loft. The dish washer and ice maker did not work so we had to do dishes by hand and buy ice. The dish had very intermittent reception but we didn’t watch much anyway. Overall the house was good and the location worked great for us.

Our stay at this property was great! House was bigger than the photos depicted which was awesome. Loved the proximity to Purgatory resort. Parking for our big truck was spacious. We weren’t prepared for the wood burning furnace maintenance but it wasn’t too bad.

Great Neighborhood
The area is perfect if you are looking for a mountain getaway. The neighborhood has a lake which is accessible for fishing and kayaking. The surrounding forest is a mix of aspen and pine the lot sizes of houses are large and give you space to feel like you are in nature. Much better then Engineer Village where the homes are all crowded together like a cheap suburb. Everything in the house was as described, communication with the seller was excellent.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway
We had a wonderful long weekend on the west slope. The home is beautiful and conveniently located between Durango and Silverton, allowing us to explore all of our favorite mountain communities. Each night we came home from a long day of exploring and enjoyed some relaxing time in the hot tub. I highly recommend this property!

Family snow get away
I was looking for a mountain get away with beautiful views and this cabin was perfect. The large windows were awesome. I loved seeing the millions of stars sparkling at night. We could see them from the recliners at night or from our bed with the curtains pulled back. The location was perfect for skiing at purgatory and visiting Durango.

Very nice property
This was a beautiful property located perfectly for us to go north or south exploring for a family vacation- either to Durango or up to Silverton and Ouray and the scenic drive. October time frame did not tax the heating/air systems. Front step/stoop was a bit tall for weak-kneed people making multiple trips with luggage and supplies. Winter time hand-rail might be considered. Overall- the cleanliness and the amenities were great.

Beautiful getaway
We loved our stay in the cabin. The home was beautiful and the location was great. It was quiet and peaceful, but close enough to activities that we never got bored. The kitchen was fully stocked, with everything we needed to prepare meals. The only reason that I am giving it a 4 star review instead of 5 stars is because the fireplace in the master bathroom did not work and neither did the heated floors in the bathrooms. It wasn't cold enough while we were there for this to impact our stay, but if it would have been during the winter it might have made a difference since the main fireplace heats the entire house. Regardless we would definitely stay here again!

Lake house escape
This is a wonderful property and really deserving of five stars. Unfortunately, there was a very aggressive neighbor keeping access away from the lake. It was a bit uncomfortable. However, it is well kept and very comfortable to get away.

Perfect getaway
the house was very well stocked. Perfect for a girls trip. We had a blast. We traveled around durango quite a bit. Was about a 35 min drive north each way but, honestly, totally worth it so we could be in the woods and able to see the stars from the hot tub at night. Would absolutely go back.
