About this property

"Best of Durango" Secluded, 600 feet of riverfront, park-like setting

Sitting at an elevation of nearly 7400’ and nestled between over 600’ of Florida River frontage and the foot of a mountain, this property is Colorado at its finest. This amazing, 3.65-acre property enjoys supreme privacy in the heart of the valley surrounded by two large acreage ranches and is just 8 miles to Main Street in Durango.

You will arrive at the property on all paved roads and pass over a private bridge to get to the home. The home is set up as two separate, self-contained living areas totaling 3971 sf. (separated by a garage, no common walls). Each side has its own kitchen, living room, bedrooms, baths, fireplace and laundry. You can book one side, or, for larger groups or ultimate privacy you can reserve both sides.
For the purposes of this web listing, we are required to list each one separately. This listing is for the "Trout House"...a single story side (3 bedroom).

This 3 bedroom listing features single level living with a large master suite (with a jetted tub), 2 additional guest rooms and a 2nd full bath. The Trout House has a wood burning fireplace and offers a full size washer and dryer. There is approximately 2,000 sf so everyone can spread out. Relax on one of two porches that overlook the river at the end of the day or with your morning coffee.

NOTE: The other side (2 bedroom option) features an open kitchen, dining and family room layout with 2 guest bedrooms on the second floor. This side can easily accommodate 7 guests (master has a king bed, bedroom 2 has three single beds and there is a pullout sofa). There is a bath on each of the floors and laundry on the first floor. There is a river rock fireplace and the kitchen is fully equipped. There is approximately 2,000 sf so plenty of room to spread out. You can access this listing under the heading "Riverfront (600 feet), 3.65 Acres, Park Like Setting - 2 Bedroom (Bear House)". VRBO #1652506

Crib and high chair are available upon request for either listing.

Whichever option you choose (or both for ultimate privacy) this is a perfect location to enjoy afternoons relaxing on the multiple decks, casting dries on the roaring river, enjoying the wildlife or playing on the lush lawns under the soaring trees. The park-like property comes complete with a picnic table, benches, lawn games and grills.

Thank you.

White Christmas in Durango!

We had a wonderful stay in Durango! Being from South Texas our family wanted to spend Christmas in the snow! The house is tucked away in a secluded valley. The house had snow all around when we arrived. Snow didn’t come down until Christmas but, boy did it come down! God gets the credit for the snow.

Relaxing & perfection

We can’t say enough good things about this home. We stayed in the Trout House and had plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 vehicles. We grilled one night on the charcoal grill that is available. We saw quite a few large trout in the river but our fly fishing skills may need a bit of improvement. Downtown Durango is an easy 15 minute drive. The home is in such a peaceful area. Neighbors can’t really been seen (on an hilltop) and you have so much river frontage that it’s just breath taking. We would absolutely love to return again. Hosts were very communicative and let us know that neighbors had seen a mountain lion crossing their bridge one morning while we were there. This is really a gem. Extra clean & comfortable. Perfect for our vacation in Durango.

Lovely setting among the trees

The setting was beautiful and quiet, about 15 minutes from town (unless you hit commuter traffic, and then allow much more time). Common spaces in the house were nice for our group of seven. One of the bedrooms was quite small, and not completely private (barn doors). The host was very responsive to text messages. Make sure to check that the smoke detectors have been fixed (we got a middle of the night wake up call, and later heard that it was a recurring issue). Our group enjoyed the stay here.

Fabulous

Best of Durango is right! Unsurpassed grounds. Exceptionally comfortable master bed and bath. Thoughtfully outfitted kitchen. We wanted for nothing. The quality of this home was in the structure but also in the way it was supplied. Kitchen utensils and serving plates, extra pillows, blankets and towels. NO cheap out here. Fully loaded toilet paper, detergent, paper towels, ziploc...even a homey junk drawer with pens and paper! Wow, just wow. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Family Reunion

Per the other reviews and pictures, i was pretty confident that what we saw on the listing was what we were going to get. That being said this place more than exceeded expectations! There were so many little touches that were not advertised that made us very comfortable, as it truly felt like home. We really appreciate the texts and communications upon arriving, regarding local attractions and things that maybe only locals know about. My wife who loves horses, was able to spend every day walking to see them in the fields to the north and my son and I were able to throw in a couple lines after we took some fly fishing lessons before we got there. We really enjoyed the steam shower after a long day rafting, loved the incredibly stocked kitchen and mostly just sitting on the patio, listening to the sounds of nature.

Wonderful family getaway

The property exceeded expectations! Our family of nine fit perfectly in the two houses and the property was a wonderfully relaxing place to unwind during downtime between seeing the local sites (we did Mesa Verde and Silverton). Communication with the owners was exceptional and they clearly care about their renters’ stay as the houses are stocked for cooking at “home” and staying in. We made memories here that will last a lifetime! I HIGHLY recommend.

Little piece of heaven in Durango

Beautiful, cozy property right on the river. We weren’t expecting 15 inches of snow during our trip, but what a winter wonderland! Being “snowed in” on this property was so peaceful and welcome. The hosts are extremely accommodating and friendly. We can’t wait to bring our family back to fish in the summer. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Best VRBO EVER!

We traveled with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren, aged 2 to eight to Durango looking to escape the Texas heat. Colorado did not disappoint! And Trout House.. . well, we felt like we had rented a little slice of paradise! This property is absolutely beautiful — very private, plenty of shade from massive trees, beautiful green lawns, flowers in abundance and the river just steps from the door — we fell asleep to the sound of it every night! The house had something for everyone — lots of space for all our activities and fun, cozy places to relax, and comfortable beds/bedding to rest and recharge for the next day. The “library” had puzzles, games, books and crafts for the kids. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed The master bedroom suite was absolutely incredible — spacious, luxurious, but still homey! This was by far the best VRBO stay we have ever had — we have rented in lots of places and this was just the best. We hope to rebook for next summer! Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating — Nick communicated quickly by email and texts, even made a phone call to make arrangements for a last minute schedule change for us. Honestly, I could not have asked for more. from him. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone! Just go and experience it. You will not be disappointed!

Slice of paradise

We absolutely love staying in this home, this is our second time and would definitely stay here again. The kitchen has everything you need to cook family meals. The location is spectacular, waking up to the sound of the river is everything. The owner is responsive and friendly. The pictures dont do this property justice. Thank you Nick and Caryn!

Beautiful setting, relaxing stay

The property is beautiful. Being riverfront is truly unique. Couple of notes, no AC but as long as you open windows at night, and close windows/blinds during day it stays reasonably cool. There was only one free standing fan, could have used a couple more. One ceiling fan would not stay on unless the ceiling light was on, I’m guessing there is supposed to be a remote with it but we couldn’t find it. The listing accurately conveys there is a grill for use, however, there was no mention of the fact that it’s charcoal or to bring your own charcoal. When we got there we had to make a trip back into town to get charcoal. Overall it was a good experience. The owners were super helpful, when we reached out they were quick to respond.

Family Getaway

This was an amazing property! The property is secluded while being close enough to town! Nick was helpful in sharing things to do for the week. Our kids spent most of the time outside playing games, fishing, or exploring the property. We saw a bear in the open field next to the property! We will definitely be returning and hopefully, getting the adjoining house for additional family! You won’t regret booking this property!

Terrific place, nice visit.

Clean, well appointed, excellent communication with host, very private. Beautiful location. We are three seniors who frequently travel together, so we tend to be “gentle” visitors. Couple of minor issues, easily rectified. Water was high from snowmelt runoff and was dirty, but was clearing up as we left. Should be good fishing opportunities later but not now. Some interesting wildlife viewing opportunities. The visit wasn’t perfect in every way but I will communicate my thoughts privately to the owner. Again, can be easily rectified. Please don’t think this is a planted review. It’s legit and I will be happy to speak with anyone offline for a personal reference. I stay at VRBOs all the time and this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I’d give it a solid “A”, in large measure because of the ease of communications I had with the host.
