Beautiful Views, Private Road, Close to Hot Spring!

Vista Views is the perfect getaway for a peaceful family vacation. The warm, modern, and newly updated home has plenty of space for both family activities and privacy.

Located on a private street, the home is nestled among tall pine trees with amazing views of the red cliffs, and bordering National Forest almost guarantees you the chance of seeing the abundant wildlife in the area. The Spring months bring the relaxing sounds of the creek running on the property.

Once inside, you'll be welcomed by the open, single level floor plan. The kitchen is a cooks delight with plenty of counter space, pantry, and all new appliances! The adjacent dining room has a large dining table with enough seating for eight and the sliding glass door allows easy access to the deck and convenient location of the BBQ grill. The living room has a comfy, oversized couch and a 2-sided wood burning fireplace. Down the hallway you will find all three bedrooms. The kids' room has 3 twin beds (one is a bunkbed) and TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed and wall mounted TV. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, TV, and en-suite bathroom. For your convenience, there is a laundry room complete with washer/dryer located inside just off the oversized 2 car garage.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay.

This is a great place to stay! The owners were very kind and responsive to texts. You’ll see turkey, deer, and unbeatable scenery. Definitely a spot we’ll bookmark to return to.

Great Stay

We enjoyed staying here. Very nice place with a secluded feel and the location was great. Our favorite thing about the place (since we had our toddler with us) was the single floor layout and the easy access (no steps to enter or steep drop offs around the property). It made for a relaxing trip and we would stay here again.

Would stay here again

As we have aged it seems that it is getting harder to find a rental in the area that is one story. We enjoyed the location and the house was perfect fir us. The wild turkey visits were fun to watch. We would love to stay here next fall.

Relaxing Fall Stay

We couldn't have picked a better place to stay and see all the lovely fall colors! The home was well appointed and true to the advertising! My husband, two dogs and myself enjoyed this home as an awesome base camp to all that Durango offers. It was peaceful and we would highly recommend staying here!

Wow— my husband, myself, our 2 kids (6 & 8), and my mom stayed at this lovely property for 4 nights. I totally want to come back!! I woke up each morning and caught the sunrise on the back deck— breathtaking. The kids loved exploring the property daily— we saw so much wildlife, climbed some rock walls, walked along the creek bed, hiked, and took in the views. The house itself is so homey, and was equipped with everything we needed to cook and stay comfortable. The property is the perfect distance to downtown Durango, where we ate, white water rafted, went horseback riding, shopped, and caught the steam engine to cascade canyon. EPIC! We also took a day trip (30 minute ride!!) to Purgatory Resort for a fun filled day. We would love to come back here again, for SURE!!

Great Views, Warm Home

We have stayed in this wonderful home multiple times. It has excellent views, fireplace with a lot of unexpected features. For example it has heaters on the deck for those crisp mornings when you want to enjoy your coffee on the deck.

Heaven in Hermosa!

This is our 3rd consecutive year staying at Vista Views in Hermosa w/ Durango Colorado Vacations. It's always ideal for our group. You feel like you're a bit isolated w/ plenty of room to take relaxing walks … and yet you're close to both Durango & Purgatory. There are two living areas, a large kitchen & dining area. We usually have 13-15 in our family group and, though each family rents their own home, they usually gather at Vista Views w/ us for meals & visiting. And… Durango Colorado Vacations is absolutely the best to work with! They have the most efficient process to rent, check in & check out that I've ever worked with. We look forward to this every year!!

Dirt bike escape

We have been going to Durango for 3 years to ride dirt bikes in the mountains. This place was great because there was plenty of room for sleeping and dinners but having access to the garage to store the bikes at night was awesome. Everything worked at the house and it had all the necessary equipment to make breakfast for 5 guys before we headed ride. We would stay there again. Enjoy.

San Juan Mountain Home

This was a very special return to the Durango area for me after almost 50 years since attending Ft Lewis College. We looked for a property convenient to Durango and to the spectacularly scenic San Juan Mountains for day excursions, while also offering a peaceful and comfortable setting at days end. All reviews for this property stressed the beautiful views from the back deck and I can only add how much we enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck watching the sun rise over the Animas River Valley and disappear over the western mountains at night. The small gated community ensures privacy and peaceful quiet. The house was beautifully appointed with all possible conveniences. The very comfortable beds and cool quiet mountain air made for very restful nights. We took full advantage of all the outdoor adventures offered in this unforgettable region of Colorado: hiking, biking, high mountain basin jeep tour, driving the scenic Million Dollar Highway to Silverton and Ouray (or save the driving and take the Durango-Silverton Train). The aspen leaves were just starting their annual turn to brilliant yellow, a sight you can't soon forget. This house is your perfect base camp for an amazing trip to this region. For skiers, it's less than 30 minutes to the Purgatory Ski area. For spa enthusiasts, the Durango Hot Springs spa less than a mile down the road is not to be missed. The guest book in the house will lead you to other special treats in the area. We can't wait to return.

Peaceful and still close to Durango

Our communication and check in process was easy. The host was great to work with. The house had everything we needed. The back deck had wonderful views and the wildlife we saw (Deer and Turkeys) was so awesome. We thought the location was perfect as we were just a bit outside of downtown Durango but it was so easy to get to the town. Being able to enjoy the town as well as the peacefulness of the home made for an enjoyable stay.

SW Colorado Summer Escape

Really wonderful all the way around. It was everything our family needed and then some. Great property, comfortable beds, easy check-in and out, quiet area, terrific views, and close proximity to so many places. Morning coffee out on the back deck with the sunrise, deer, and birds was both peaceful and beautiful. We hope to be able to return very soon.

Wonderful views!!! Private setting. House and property layout was very convenient and comfortable. We really enjoyed all the wildlife. Our first few evenings we were blessed to see a Fox, wild turkeys, and a bear. Would have given 5 stars in all categories but only gave 4 in a few because of no shades/curtains on front and deck doors for privacy at night, the smell of dirty hair odor on a lot of the bedding and the back of the house itself, and it was an annoyance to constantly have to take our shoes off to walk on the already stained carpet. Especially after two of us stepped on nails that had come through the carpet. Taking off shoes was not noted in the property description. Other than those 4 star mentions we had a great time and God willing will most certainly plan to stay again.
