Family stay

We had a very pleasant stay here while in Durango. The photos don’t do this place justice on how big it is! There’s so much space throughout the house and there’s practically everything you could need while there. Our family of 6 felt right at home. Close enough to the city center and far enough to feel secluded from the world.

Spectacular view

The property is beautiful with great views of mountain. We rented this property because we needed more space and it was as advertised with space for six people, although we didn't actually need that much because some family elected to stay in town in hotel, but it would have been great. very clean and beautiful kitchen and main living area. We would go again if we wanted to go to that area.

Family vacation

Our family consisted of 6 adults and 1 child. There is ample room for everything. The view from the back deck is great! The property is located within reasonable distance to local activities. We have stayed in homes for the past 15 years for vacations and this kitchen was the best as far as space and anything you may need for cooking. Dry nice house with a great rental price! Highly recommend.

Stay was comfortable and had everything we needed for a successful vacation house. The host had supplies ready to go and the house was very clean. Only suggestion would be to replace blinds, the evening sun really heated up the place. Other than that the house was an Amazing place for our family,. Thank YOU

A beautiful getaway

My family and I came out for the polar express. We ended up having to book this place last minute due to our other home ended up getting canceled less than a week before our trip, and honestly we we’re surprised the home was available as it is beautiful, clean, and was about 20 minutes away from town which was nice to relax.The grill was out of propane but a simple call and the owner brought it within the hour. We would book again!Bonus they have a friendly kitty who greets upon arrival

Beautiful location

The house is very clean and spacious, perfect for our family of 5. Many deer, hawks and rabbits to view from the large porch area. The kitchen was well equipped, all appliances are very nice. The AC works well, which was good for us since Durango was having record high temperatures.

Great stay, great property.

Property was beautiful, well appointed and clean. Finishes were excellent. Even the bathrooms were immaculate. Most properties, the shower tile is grungy and mildewed. Not this one! The only comment I have is we were not aware that someone else lived downstairs. That’s not a problem but it was a surprise. I would suggest that this is noted in the property description.

Lovely Home outside Durango

We stayed for two nights, and I wish we had stayed longer. It didn’t feel like a rental property, but it felt like someone’s home. The kitchen was well stocked, the appliances were nice, the linens were nice, the mattresses were good…The view was amazing with great common area to hang out in. I hope we can make it back someday. And…there’s a playground in the backyard! We had trouble getting the lock pad to work initially, but we eventually figured it out. The owner was quick to return our call. It is a bit outside of town. It took us about 20 minutes to drive to the grocery store.

Lovely home with a few things to consider

Our stay was enjoyable overall! But, there are a few things to consider before booking. Depending on who you are, an aspect to note is the 20-30+ Christian books throughout the house. While providing a bible for guests is a common thing, the sheer volume of religious literature was a bit uncomfortable for us. Most of our group identifies as LGBTQ or has had past negative religious experiences, so this made us uneasy. We fully respect that we are staying in someone else's home and honor all beliefs, but the amount of religious material felt overwhelming and somewhat forceful (on nightstands, by toilets, etc). It didn't give us the impression of an inclusive or welcoming environment. This isn't evident in the listing or photos, so it's worth considering if this could affect your stay. A couple of grocery considerations: we didn’t care for the water from the tap or fridge filter, so we bought jugs of water for the weekend. Also, while basic spices are available, if you like hot sauce, spicier things beyond chili powder, or salt that isn't basic iodized table salt, you’ll need to bring those. Considerations aside, the property itself was lovely! We enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, waking up with coffee on the patio watching the sunrise and resident deer, relaxing on the big couch, and appreciated the laundry supplies after our hiking and biking adventures around Durango. We were also grateful for the coffee and soy milk the host provided for us.

Excellent trip

A very nice place with more than your average amenities. Clean, well equipped and located about 10 minutes from downtown. Great views and overall super comfortable place to stay. I've stayed at many VRBO's and I have to say the beds were perhaps the best of any place I've been, especially after a hard day skiing. Thank you and hope to be back next year!
