Snowboarding Trip
This was a really nice spot to stay if you are looking to snowboard/ski Purg. The house is well equipped with everything you need and plenty of room. They are not kidding about the 4x4 and quality tires though, definitely necessary during the winter months. I would definitely book again.

Quiet retreat
Took the family up to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature. House was perfect for our stay. Close enough to town without too much hustle and bustle. Area was beautiful and quiet. House had everything we needed. Didn’t cook at all so can’t comment on how stocked kitchen was but the rest of the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Enjoyed the house and area so much we are returning next month with hopes of seeing the foliage change.

Nice Cabin
Property overall was good, but could use some minor repairs. While dishes were provided, could use a few more silverware. Other than the things mentioned, all the other amenities was spot on and very nice.

3 Night Stay
We had a great time in Durango. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. There is no A/C so it did get very hot in the house during the day as are stay was in July. It cooled off enough to sleep at night.
