Outstanding property & owner

Outstanding, complete, and timely communication. Very clean. Everything just as pictured. Very nicely maintained. Had one maintenance issue to address (not anything that could be predicted) and the owner could not have addressed this any more quickly - just handled it in superb fashion. Excellent location just north of town but close enough to town so that it's really convenient. The only potential issue for anyone visiting would be that if there is winter weather is very inclement during the stay, the long, relatively steep gravel road/driveway might be intimidating to some renters. Overall 5 stars out of 5.

Beautiful!

The pictures don't do it justice, lovely location. Scott was extremely responsive to all questions. He even showed up without our asking on Thanksgiving evening just to make sure the porch furniture was out and comfortable for use. Beds and linens were all very nice. Kitchen thoughtfully stocked with everything you need. If you're there in the winter absolutely make sure you have 4 wheel drive. Don't hesitate to book this!

PERFECT Durango getaway!

Our family of 6 came for a week of vacation at this beautiful property. There are 3 different floors so that each couple had their own space and plenty of space to have family time . Everything that you need is provided… all of the utensils needed to cook with … paper towels , toilet paper washing detergents, … all of these things save time from having to go out and you can get started on your vacation! The expansive deck affords stunning views, furniture, firepit and hot tub and view the Milky Way, rainbows and the whistle of the train going by! . This beautiful place exceeded our expectations! Durango is such a beautiful area and we hope to be back again !

Susan and Scott recently relocated from Carlsbad, CA after 35 years of living there to Durango, CO. Durango is Susan's hometown and Scott is from Houston, TX (Nassau Bay area).

Why they chose this property

This home reminded us of our frequent trips to Switzerland with the extra ordinarily views of Animas Valley and mountains with views from almost every window in the home.

What makes this property unique

Great hiking directly from the house with a popular trail head starting right next to our home. The home also feels out in the woods with frequent wildlife visitors.
