Summary: We had a great stay in Durango. The house was beautiful on a beautiful piece of property! We enjoyed the creek and sitting on the porch enjoying the view of the mountain. The house had plenty of room for our whole family to cook and eat together. We especially appreciated that the living room had comfortable recliners because it was NBA playoff season and we had games to watch! Go Thunder!!

Summary: This was a wonderful place for a three-generation family vacation and celebration (graduations from high school, law school, birthday, and upcoming anniversary). (Ages 18 to 80). Durango is our family’s happy place, to which at least some of us have returned multiple times. We know the Durango area well. This property was a great location: beautiful valley, nice views, and only 10 minutes from downtown. The house accommodated eight of us very well, although we could have used two more dining table chairs. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen well equipped (kinives could be sharper, and a couple of serving bowls would be welcome). Otherwise, all was good. Enjoyed the wildlife outdoors. Turkeys, deer, and more! Communication with owner/manager was excellent. We would definitely return.

Summary: Our family couldn't have been happier with our stay at this property. The one common thread that kept coming up was the awesome location. You seem like you are so remote, yet less that a 10 minute drive to downtown Durango. It was in the high 80's in Durango, but consistently cooler in with the breezes coming down the valley. The sleeping arrangements for our family group of 8 was perfect. Well appointed, clean property. Excellent communication with Chris, the owner. No doubt we will be back!

Summary: Great house in a great location and we had a wonderful time in Durango! That said, there is a trailer park next door, that you can see when pulling into the house but not when you are at the house. We could hear some noise (music/work) on the weekend coming from there but it was not enough to bother us. Also, I was under the impression that the house was secluded on 24 acres. It is not, you can see the neighbors houses. Again, not a big deal, I was just surprised to see them. The house is great and accommodated our needs. Beds and pillows very comfortable. The house is conveniently located about 10 minutes from downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
