The only issue we had was regulating the temp at night in the house with 3 levels. The folks on the bottom floor were comfortable but the people on the top 2 floors were a little warm. Nice big front porch and cute little porch off of...

"My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary weekend and we could not have picked a better spot! We stayed in one of the cottages and I was so impressed with how cozy and clean it was when we walked in! There is a small brook that goes around the entire property that was so nice to crack open the windows and fall asleep to the sound of at night. The grounds are beautiful and so well maintained. The owners are so sweet and accommodating and you can tell they genuinely love their property! We will definitely stay again the next time we are up in the Durango area! I don’t often leave reviews but this place to much if a sweet little gem that I have to share the 5 star weekend we had!"

"The house is very pretty and big. Great size for our group. Views are fantastic. The couch and beds were comfy and it was fun to have some games and toys provided. Our biggest complaints are that there was some discrepancy over whether there was a hot tub or not (as there used to be but is no longer) and that there is no AC. (I will say the host responded well and cleared up the confusion over the hot tub very satisfactorily). Being from the PNW, we're no strangers to houses not built for AC, however some of the windows didn't open or didn't have screens or had screens with holes or had no curtains, and the house did get quite hot in the late afternoon/early evening (75-80 degrees per thermostat). One bedroom (master) did have a wall AC unit and we wished the other 2 bedrooms would have had that as well."

"My fault for not looking closely to the A/C, assumed central air but symbol was window units. Photos do not show window units. Three of the upstairs bedrooms were overly warm in the hot July afternoon, only ceiling fans and floor fans. Windows open before bed, fans on and by morning rooms were a reasonable temperature. A small hole in the kitchen ceiling and one downstairs bedroom floor were a little distressing. Kids enjoyed running on the front lawn and seeing the deer in the early morning."

10/10 Excellent
"Great property with unbeatable views. It is secluded but there are several neighbors nearby so you are not up on a mountain all alone. You can see and hear the trains as they come and go throughout the day! We went in July and it was very warm. The evenings/mornings were comfortable but the mid day was very warm, even with the fans provided and windows open. There are no blackout/darkening curtains on the lower level (which for us was the kid level) which meant the kids were up with the sun.. about 6am every day. The giant closet off the master was a great landing point for all our luggage and clothes and kept everything from getting too scattered. We will always remember the blue roof house on the mountainside!"

"We absolutely loved our stay at Hermosa Hideaway! From the moment we walked in, it felt warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. The décor strikes the perfect balance between modern mountain charm and cozy comfort, and every space felt intentional.What really stood out were all of the thoughtful little details. The kitchen was stocked with a great selection of coffees, teas, creamer, and everything you need to settle in without making an immediate trip to the store. The bathrooms were equally well-appointed with quality essentials that made it feel more like staying at a friend's beautifully curated home than a typical vacation rental.The natural light throughout the home is incredible. The large windows, high ceilings, and open layout make the space feel bright, airy, and relaxing from morning to evening. It was the perfect place to unwind after exploring Durango and the surrounding mountains.If you're looking for a place where you can truly arrive, unpack, and immediately feel at home, Hermosa Hideaway is it. We would absolutely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting the Durango area."
