Our happy place

Rustic but really comfortable and fun. It was clean with good amenities. Our grandkids loved the bunk beds and our kids loved the fly fishing. We all loved the gas fire pit and being right on the river. I appreciated the short drive to Walmart to provision, too. Town is a quick 10 minutes away. Guest should be prepared for the very steep stairs between levels-especially the stairs into the basement. Would be good if there were some kind of gate installed at the top before someone has a serious fall. Also there are no outside accessible bear-proof trash cans. It was a great place for a weekend family getaway.

Our stay

We love the location down by the river. It made you feel like you were far away from town when you really were very close. There were a couple issues, but the management promptly came out and fixed it when we reported it. We would gladly stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have visited Durango for a week plus twice in the last 3 years. It is a wonderful place to relax, hike and explore. The cabin on the river is great. It is on the rustic side, but very comfortable. This year was our second time to rent it! We love just sitting by the outdoor fireplace in the afternoon and listening to the river. A big plus is that it is so close to town!

Lovely little cabin, great property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We met some friends in Durango for a little ski-cation and this cabin was perfect for our getaway. Two families fit nicely in the space, and the fact that it's pet friendly made it even better so the puppies could come along. The outdoor space was fantastic for getting outside, especially with the dogs. We enjoyed the fire pit and walking along the river. The location is close to everything, yet tucked away so you feel like you are miles from civilization. Kitchen was decently stocked so we could prepare meals easily, but be sure to bring your water bottles because there was only one glass to be found in the cupboard.Very nice place!

Trouble at rustic cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pass on this property. It was infested with mice, so gross. Stairs so unsafe, extremely narrow, difficult to use. Lower level was not even a finished space, floors were concrete, no carpet only a rug. House seemed piecemeal, not finished. Common area extreme small for our group of 5. Could not get cable nor wifi to work. No manual to answer questions. Called VRC immediately when we found mice, Republicans said he would get someone out the next day to address the issue. When I informed him we were leaving immediately and said it was VRCs responsibility to move us to a new house, he said again someone would be out the next day. I repeated my request and he changed his tone, found us a lovely townhouse to move to, all was good. Very disappointed I had to press the issue for VRC to take responsibility.

River cabin near Durango

We really enjoyed our stay at Gabrial's Cabin. Durango is a great place to visit, and this cabin is so close to town while still feeling remote. The property is spacious, and the area around the fire pit and near the river was a great place to hang out in late afternoon and early evening. The cabin is comfortable and has most fo the supplies you need. We would happily return!

I can see how this would be awesome in the summer but a little muddy this time of year. I might return at some point. My daughter attends Fort Lewis and we enjoyed the hominess.

Train trip

Everything was great for our stay. Well located for our needs, quiet, river next to the property. Only problem was in the listing not stating that there are no bedrooms on the main floor, lots of steep stairs up and down to bedrooms, second thoughts for elderly folks, such as my mother in law, who went with us. We were able to make a bed with the couch and a mattress, we worked it out.

Great location

The location at the edge of town and on the river is unbeatable. The back porch and outdoor firepit are wonderful spots. We found the lack of some kitchen supplies a little surprising, but not major. Also wish the ventilation and windows worked little better in the heat.

Truly splendid

We arrived to a clean welcoming rustic home. Exactly what I had hope for and so much more. Came to Durango for a wedding but wanted to enjoy the beauty of Colorado and this did not disappoint. My son and three children loved having the entire downstairs as a separate space. The kitchen was so wonderful everything we wanted and more. Having a Walmart just down the street made getting anything we needed a breeze. Downtown was a short drive and Uber was available for a cheap quick ride. The magnificent outside was nature at its best. Abundant wildlife. Amazing fishing at your doorstep. Before touring the home and brining in our luggage we went straight to the hammocks by the river. Caretakers responded to all request immediately. The best time was wonderful!!!!!

The property was nice and worked great for us. We had some issues with main toilet not flushing and then kitchen faucet not working. We got around these issues eventually but it seems like items should be replaced since this is a Vrbo and it is apparent these need fixed.

Good overall, but could be better

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this rustic cabin. The location by the river is just stunning! The cabin is cute inside and was spacious enough for our family of 6. Our stay could've been better though. My kids were SO excited to use the fire pit, but upon arriving we found that it did not work. Also about half the lamps inside do not work. There was no remote to the downstairs TV so it was unusable. There also wasn't any dish soap or sponges so I had to go to the store to buy my own (something I don't like to do when I'm on a relaxing vacation). We also spotted a few mice down by the bunkbeds. It was nothing major and I did feel that overall the good outweighed the bad, but there are definitely things that were overlooked that could've made the stay that much better.
