Summary: Friends, family and dogs enjoyed this beautiful home. It was a dream place for all. The fenced in deck and yard was so convenient for the dogs as well as the creek and pond. The decks, living room, kitchen and the rest of the house was amazing
Joshua S. Mar 30, 2025 02:08:59 AM
Summary: This property is way better than the excellent pictures that are available on VRBO. Beds are amazingly comfortable, hot tub, stocked kitchen, sun rooms, windows, etc! We had a wonderful experience and really regretted having to leave. Thank you for leaving a garage remote, and allowing us use of the garage! Really great touch, and amazing hospitality.

Summary: The home looks amazing in the pictures -- but is somehow even better in person. It's incredibly private, but only about 10-15 minutes from the city. There are multiple private hiking areas in the back that we enjoyed daily with our dogs. There's was a great area next to the house to sled with the kid. The backyard and patio are fenced in, so it was easy to let the dogs out at night. The home had everything we needed and more -- it really feels like you're staying in your own home when you're here.The hosts - Jim and Courtney - are great at communicating everything up top and the property manager - Taylor - is super helpful with anything during the stay. We couldn't recommend this place more. We'd love to come back.

Summary: Though Durango had seen above normal temperatures and everyone in town said there should be snow on the ground for Christmas, there was no snow as of Christmas eve, HOWEVER, with the prayers of our children, IT SNOWED for a white Christmas! This was the most beautiful property and the snow made it magical. The hiking on the back hill was beautiful and entertained all ages. There is a hill in the side yard perfect for the kids to sled. The hot tub was a peaceful retreat in the snow. The drive into town is simple and close enough to not feel like time was wasted when we had to make a grocery run. The home was incredibly welcoming and the hosts had obviously paid close attention to detail to ensure we felt at home. Purgatory was an easy drive for skiing, snowboarding, and night time tubing. Hesperus Ski Area has announced that it will not open for 2024 season, fyi. The Durango Silverton Train is a must and I highly recommend First Class, it is worth the money difference.

Summary: I’m a frequent traveler and this is easily one of the best homes I’ve stayed in!! House is beautiful and cozy.. Christmas decor was added bonus!! Well stocked with everything we needed. Quiet location with great views of the mountains, perfect spot to relax in the hot tub. We would definitely rebook.

Summary: Wonderful! Communication was easy and quick. House was beautiful and has everything you need. We loved the labels and directions to everything. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and enjoying the beautiful property. Thank you for opening your beautiful home. We loved being there and can't wait to return! Thank you

Summary: Wow!!! Incredible views and a lovely home, fantastic kitchen stocked with all the little spices and goodies you need for cooking. Comfortable beds and a sun room that was such a special place to relax. It was closer to town than we expected and enjoyed some great restaurants and shopping. Highly recommended for a wonderful getaway. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home.
Sherise F. Oct 15, 2024 10:00:34 AM
Summary: We absolutely loved our stay and could not have been happier with the location, the amenities, and the solace this place offers. Every day we hiked and explored all over beautiful Durango, Silverton, and Ouray with our pups, and each day we were equally excited to return to the property to cook dinner, relax and just enjoy the surroundings of this property. We joked that we didn't even need to leave and explore to enjoy our vacation (which is rare for us!). We were so happy to have our fur babies with us as we travel and hike everywhere with them, and the property is set up for enjoying time with them (especially with the fenced in patio so we could soak in the hot tub without worrying about any lost/runaway doggos)!
Amanda G. Oct 5, 2024 03:23:05 AM
Summary: The house is lovely and comfortable. The kitchen is great for cooking at home and sitting on the deck was fantastic. It’s close enough to Durango to be convenient but far enough to feel like you’re alone. We had a great time and would book again.
Teresa M. Sep 24, 2024 05:21:57 AM
Summary: The property has everything you want or need. Well-appointed kitchen and pantry. Large kitchen with 5 burner gas stove. Outdoor eating areas along with fire pit and hot tub. Wood burning fireplace to keep you toasty while gazing at the amazing scenery. Woke up on a chilly autumn morning to radiant heated flooring!! I hope to stay again. Communication was prompt and easy checkin.
