Family vacation
My husband and I, and my mother, spent five days in Durango. The Between the Waters home was a perfect fit for us. The river just steps from the back deck made for soothing time to just sit and enjoy, both the river and the cool weather. The home itself had plenty of room for the three of us.

Great location, Disappointing beds, Lots of items.
Quiet neighborhood, beautiful view & close to town. We always stay in vacation rentals when visiting Durango. Note, before your stay: To be clear, 3rd bedroom is NOT a “Double” but in fact a FUTON. All mattresses should be replaced bc they were terrible, especially the futon. The week’s rent could easily replace all mattresses & elevate the rental. It’s a shame since this is probably the only thing keeping us from staying here again. Could easily be our go-to place. Owners should replace the kitchen utensils with a few good ones as opposed to tons of old & unusable ones. House has no pantry basics - cooking oil/spray, seasonings, foil, saran wrap etc. a first I’ve seen in a rental. Perhaps the cleaning crew throws out everything after each visitor? Plan ahead before you stay. Kitchen appliances - stove, fridge and microwave were quite new and fully functioning! While I’m sure the decor in the home took decades to acquire, there is truly SO MUCH stuff in this house and it feels overly cluttered and rugs throughout don’t lay flat despite beautiful hardwood floors. The MOST BEAUTIFUL decor were the Glidden paintings depicting Colorado landscapes. These stunning pieces should be the focal point of home's décor, truly. Kudos to the artist - they were incredible. House was shockingly clean for the amount of decor. You’d expect you’d find items covered with dust, however they were not. Bathrooms spotless. Plenty of seating areas for everyone and quite comfortable for 4-6 people.

Rushing stream.
Loved the location and the rushing stream just off the porch. Great place to enjoy that morning coffee and in the Colorado mountains. Catching a few trout made it even better. Nice home and location.

Fantastic spot
We loved this home. Stayed with my parents (my dad's 76th birthday!) And my kids. So nice to be on the river. Dad caught one trout in the stream. Thanks so much for sharing your special space.

River Retreat Near Endless Adventure
We enjoyed our stay at Between the Waters. We fell asleep each night to the sounds of the rushing Florida River - it was amazing! We booked the property as a jumping off point for our Durango area adventures. We hiked at Vallecito Lake, biked the Animus River trail through Durango, rode the D&SNG RR's Cascade Canyon train, enjoyed the dinner show at the Bar D Ranch (highly recommend!), spent an afternoon enjoying the wibbit on Lake Nighthorse, and took a whitewater rafting trip on the Animus River. We were mostly at Between the Waters to eat and sleep, but we did book it also for the fishing opportunities in the river and at the neighborhood pond during the evenings. We aren't used to river fishing, so we didn't have any luck there. As for the pond...unfortunately, the neighborhood association pass that was left to access the pond was out of date (by 2 years), and residents at the pond turned us away when we went to use it. That was a big disappointment for our kiddos. We reached out to the management company, but the issue wasn't resolved before our week's vacation was up. But the home was lovely...lots of history on the walls. The one other thing I would mention is that the third bedroom's bed was a pretty hard futon mattress. My 12 year old still slept ok, but I somehow didn't realize that it wasn't an actual bed from the photos. Overall a great home with plenty of kitchen counter space, a dinner table large enough for our family of six, and a wonderful home!

Peaceful Stay!
We enjoyed this property so much. The access to the lakes and river for fishing were a family favorite. The house is steps from the Florida River which made for such a peaceful sound. It was the perfect place to escape the hustle of everyday life. Short drive to Durango for all the things town has to offer but far enough out to feel secluded.
