Our family stayed here for 5 days while visiting family. This house was all we could have asked for and more! It was very clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the views couldn't be beat. Our kids had a great time in the game room too! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

This cabin was perfect for our stay. Adequate space, clean, comfortable and felt like home. The home had everything we needed. A big plus was how convenient it was for a visit to the hot springs. The view of the mountains, the sound of the train and the cool breeze coming through the open windows made for perfect mornings & evenings hanging out in the house. No fault to the owner because I overlooked this small detail when searching for a property, the steps leading up to the home were a bit of a challenge for someone with horrible knees. But its doable, the handrail definitely helps. The host was always very prompt in replying to any of my questions/requests. Thank you for being a part of our fabulous weekend!

Great location, close to town. Host was very accommodating. Laundry & kitchen were great for our family. Wouldn’t recommend for older guests, the stairs are very steep and uneven. It made it hard for our grandparents to enter & exit the home.

Great communication and lovely home with great views of the train as it passed by in the mornings and afternoons. Great location close to town and amenities. Very close proximity to the hot springs. Plenty of space to accommodate our group of 8: 5 adults and 3 children. We came up to ride the Polar Express and made beautiful memories as a family. Only wish the house had been prepared for us to feel a warm welcome. The heat was off and it was a very cold 55 degrees inside upon arrival.

Great spot!

Perfect location for our family to stay and enjoy summer in Durango for a few days. Nicely situated close to town and also close to James Ranch and Purgatory. Plenty of room for the 4 of us.

This house is not Joanna Gaines trendy, if that’s what you’re looking for… it’s full of real-life used items, cozy like your grandma’s house. There was a nice separation of private spaces, with several public places-the game room was an absolute got with the grandkids. I will caution that there are MANY steps to navigate and most are without hand support. This was a bit challenging for our family, as we had 3 generations using the house. I am absolutely certain that our stay will be fondly remembered by all for years!!

Great location!

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin on our recent ski trip to Purgatory. The owners were pleasant in our communications and the location of the cabin made getting to the ski resort a piece of cake. The cabin is also close to a grocery store and other things to do in and around Durango.

Durango Family Getaway

This Durango worked well for our multi-generational family. It had lots of room for the kids to run and play as well as areas for the adults to hang out and de-stress. The cabin was large, easy to get to and close to everything we needed. I would recommend this property if your visiting the Durango area!

Fun place to stay!

If you like original & fun, this is the place to stay. We were there for a family wedding & was excited to find a place close to the venue, but we would definitely go back and stay here just for the fun of it, anytime. Unique, clean, comfortable, well stocked, and friendly, accessible hosts. Kids had a great time with the spiral staircase, big yard to play in and the game room. Adults enjoyed the scenery and the relaxing setting.

Perfect house for multiple families

Property was well maintained with a very unique layout. We absolutely loved the week we stayed there with family and friends. Four bedrooms and four baths was perfect with no waiting in line for facilities. Amenities were great and the large kitchen perfect for our morning breakfast. Highly recommend this home and will stay again on our next trip to Durango. Location was also great for all the activities we attended for my son’s wedding Exceptional home.

Lovely Rustic Home

We had a little one (3) and 4 adults staying for a quick get away to spend time together. The reviews are spot on, house is clean, we enjoyed the game room over the garage, and the furniture is comfortable and well laid out. Wifi is quick, TV easy to use, and beds are comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and appliances worked well. The parents of the kiddo really appreciated the washer and dryer (and the laundry soap provided). The hosts are very responsive, some of the best we have had over the years.

Great place for our adventures

The property was setup nicely for hanging out, making meals and having access to so many beautiful places to explore! The property does not include shower gel, soap or shampoo so we were caught off guard on that but otherwise everything is provided. The game room and basketball court were awesome to use as well! Loved the valley and mountain views, and seeing the sunrise each day.
