Beautiful property outside of Durango
Beautiful house with beautiful yard including visiting deer, The house was a little further from town than I realized but just had to plan to take the time to get places . The house is well stocked with everything you need except for condiments which seems standard after Covid. The deck overlooking yard is a great place to relax and BBQ.

Great place!
We always prefer to stay a bit out of town, more in nature, and this house was perfect. It has everything you could want and more.

Great Property for Larger Groups or Families with Older Kids
Property is beautiful and quiet with lovely views and remote feel while still being close enough to Durango. We mostly used the large kitchen (really nice!) and the two main floor bedrooms. The large king size master (which was very nice) was too far away from the other rooms to work for our family with very young children. Hot tub was nice and easy to access.

Great home for our family
This home was in a great neighborhood. We were a family of 6 and we had plenty of room for all of us. Loved the foosball table and dart game. Rick was so kind to shovel the snow for us in the morning. We really appreciated his kind gesture. Would love to stay again. Loved the hot tub too.

Adorable house / great place to make memories
The house is great, very spacious and well taken care of. The kitchen living room area is a great place to spend time making memories. I would recommend some blinds, it gets a little creepy at night when its pitch black outside but the lights are on inside. Overall everything was great and the host communicated well.

Great family ski rental
We loved this property! It had everything we needed and more, stocked with all the little amenities like lotion and bath salts. Our family of five relaxed here while we spent a few days skiing at Purgatory resort which was an easy drive. The hot tub was great and game room kept the kids happy.
