Overall experience

Location is fantastic. Surroundings have beautiful scenery. Cleanliness in actual house was pathetic. Floors full of dust, mice poops,Bugs on top of beds and a dead mice in one of the rooms. Bed Sheets smelled really bad and upstairs house heater really doesn’t get to two rooms, so it gets very cold. Fireplace upstairs doesn’t work and we where not advised. Someone needs to supervise before guests check in if property mangers know that there are mice in area.

Nice house

This is a very nice property with one shortcoming if you rent it for the summer time. There is no AC which makes the interior heat up during the day to 80+ degrees. The house has a lot of fans but it doesn’t cool the house during the day. Other than that it’s a very nice house.

We had the best stay in Durango in this gorgeous home surrounded by flowing water. It was seriously perfect. So relaxing. The home had ever needed and more. Our family of 11 was more than comfortable during our stay.

Family summer vacation

We’ve been staying in vacation rentals for several years and I’ve have to say this was our family’s favorite. The location on the river and the full court basketball court gave the entire family plenty to do without leaving the property. We loved it. We’d definitely rent it again if we come back to Durango.

Durango Vacay

We had a family of 10 all over 18 and there was plenty of room. Great location for going to both Durango and Silverton. We white water rafted, rode horses, took a tour of Mesa Verde, rode the train to Silverton and rode the Jeep trails outside of Silverton. Great trip

Great location.

This was a great place. Like other reviews it's uncommonly warm in Colorado and not having air conditioning was a bummer. The kitchen floor was pretty dirty upon arrival and the bathroom and laundry lights didn't work. Other than those very minor issues we would stay here again.

5 Stars

The house was spacious, well laid out and met our needs for accommodating grandparents, adults and 2 teen boys. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes, flatwear, pots and pans as well as an outdoor gas grill. Everyone enjoyed the basketball court, we all enjoyed sitting by the Animus River during the day and after dinner. Because of its rural location, Wi-Fi was slow and sporadic which seemed to be related to internet traffic because it was great early in the morning. The hot tub was enjoyed by the adults.

Durango ski weekend

We had a great time, the home is in a beautiful location right near the river and was well equipped for our stay. The kids had a blast, and the hot tub was a big perk for them. Highly recommend :)

End of the year ski trip

This property was everything we imagined it would be, it had plenty of room for six adults and six kids ( ages 10-16 ). The house is conveniently located between Durango and Purgatory Ski resort so it was easy for us to get to the lifts when they opened as well as make the grocery runs into town. I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful house.

So-So for this price point. House needs a good bit of work, but the location is amazing.

First let me start by saying the folks at Durango Colorado Vacations were top notch as always. We love working with them. We booked at the last minute and this was the only place available that would fit our crew at the time. Given that, it was a great get away with a great location. Unfortunately this home some upkeep issues or has been quite abuse by other guests. examples being broken doors/door hardware, broken windows/window frames and/or latches (letting cold air in), broken fireplaces. I would definitely suggest looking elsewhere for a place at this price. The WILLOWBROOK ESTATE, of instance, was in much better shape.

The Happy Family House

We had the best time on this property. The kids loved the basement area and the yard was like heaven for running and playing. The adults had plenty of space and the kitchen was perfect for the big meals we prepared each night. We were a family of 6 adults and 6 children and everyone had plenty to do and plenty of room to do it in. We are already talking about coming back!

What a FABULOUS vacation! Definitely will be back!

You will be amazed right when you walk in through the doors; the pictures online do not do it justice!! We stayed 7 nights, 2 families (4 adults, 6 kids, ages 8-13). Here's what we loved: 1. The Kitchen - WOWZA! So spread out with plenty of kitchenware, etc. Super perk: 2 ovens and 2 wine refrigerators!! I love to cook, so we cooked every night while we were here. 2. Bedrooms - plentiful and spacious. Loved the layout of each room. 3. Downstairs playrooms - yes, playrooms (plural)!! There are 2 rooms in the "basement" area that our kids pretty much hung out in the entire time we were there. They played video games down here. Tried to play the ping pong table, but it was messed up and wasn't straight, so we didn't use it much. The adults also went down here because for some reason, it was much cooler down here than anywhere in the house. 4. Back patio with hot tub and walkway to river and fire pit - The back patio was superb, we spent every night out here for hours! Either sitting around the fire pit, wading in the icy cold river, or staring up at the stars AND shooting stars! Such an amazingly beautiful sight! The hot tub was very nice too; although we couldn't get the temperature to lower once heated up or the light in it to work, but didn't stop us from using it! Our only complaints: 1. Internet was REALLY slow, maybe consider installing mesh routers? It was hard to look up places to explore or recipes when cooking. The only area that got somewhat of good reception was in the master beroom balcony patio. 2. No A/C, which is not common in Colorado anyway. We went when Colorado experienced some of its hottest weather in a while. Being outside was much cooler than being inside, even with the abundant amount of fans running. Hotter weather also brought on the gnats, SO MANY GNATS! Overall, we would definitely go back! Thank you!

Outstanding property

Lack of cellular service made communication between guests difficult. A second or bigger coffee pot would be nice. It lacked advertised alarm clocks and some did not function properly. Impossible to read in bed at night in master bedroom. These are minor complaints on an otherwise fantastic property

Our family had a great time at this property! We especially enjoyed being by the river and used the fire pit nightly. The house was comfortable for the 10 of us and would have accommodated more people. Lori was very helpful and quickly available. We would rent this property again.
