Everything was as advertised and more. Beautiful home in a beautiful location. This home had everything you could need. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Clean and easy to find, the amenities of the facility were nice. Did not have the ability to use the fireplace which was disappointing as it was chilly in the morning and evenings.
We went for skiing at Purgatory. It was easy to get to the mountain and easy to get to town for dinners and groceries. We enjoyed the wood burning stove!
The condo was clean and beautiful. The surroundings were gorgeous.

We enjoyed the condo. We enjoyed crisp walks in the morning, sitting on the patio and having my brother and his wife over to visit. The beds were comfortable and the place was lovely.
Nice location about 20 minutes north of Durango settled in the mountains. Apartment is dated but clean. The lightbulb in the living room was missing so there wasn’t really adequate light.The patio sits facing the highway, which is noisy. As others have mentioned in their reviews, the patio can be very enjoyable, but for someone like me who likes quiet, it wasn’t an area that I could peacefully use, which was a disappointment. I should’ve done more research. If you don’t mind noise, then it will be lovely. Communication was superb. We didn’t use any of the amenities such as fitness room or pool, but these were located on the other end of the complex a short drive away. Overall, we had a lovely stay.
Very comfortable property! Very clean and I am picky! Unit was furnished with everything we needed! Beautiful view off deck! We had morning coffee on the deck every day! Close to so much to do! Just north of Durango about 18 miles which was perfect as it was cooler! The grounds were beautiful and well maintained! We hope to come back often!

Everything was great. The property was exactly like the pics. We loved staying there and would recommend it to everyone. We are hoping to return and if we do will stay there again!
This condo was clean and right on the 3rd fairway. Appliances were low-end and first floor bed needs a new mattress, the headboard wasn't attached and made noise every time you moved (fixed with towels). Nice amenities at the resort. A bit far from downtown Durango and we found ourselves heading north to trails. Regardless, I'd go back.

We stayed in #786 in July and had a wonderful time! The condo is laid out perfectly and we enjoyed our stay. Our only complaint is the comfort level of the master bedroom mattress. The upstairs beds were super comfortable but the master was very uncomfortable! Overall, an incredible home base for our Durango adventures!
The property was nice and accommodating
2 things tho :
Mice or some sort of pest are in the downstairs walls. A little unsettling at night. And at 6am Saturday I wasn’t counting on hearing the neighbors hammer and saw. I was on vacation and would’ve enjoyed getting to sleep in . Other than that we had a great stay and fabulous time
Convenient location for the gym, pool and pro shop/restaurant. Clean but these condos are are little dated as they are 40 years old, a very good value though IMO. Somehow the check in data was not communicated from VRC to Tamarron. It all worked out but sort of concerning when traveling with a large family coming in from multiple locations. Ultimately, no problem.
