This property has it ALL and is in the perfect location if you are wanting to go to town and ski! The home has the perfect about of privacy for multiple families. Everyone had their own bathroom and space to rest if needed. The hot tub was fun after we skied all day. The property was very nice and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful mini vacay!
We really enjoyed our stay. Great location, great accommodations. Excellent communication. Well stocked pantry- everything we needed for 10 people to stay.
We had a wonderful stay here for skiing at spring break. The distance to the mountain was close as well as a couple of restaurants and a grocery store close by if we needed to make a quick run for something. They house was very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed. Lots of nice extra touches for guests (kids bunk bed room!) We enjoyed the hot tub and pool table and comfy beds! We love the Durango area in all seasons and would definitely stay here again in the future! It’s a great place!
Layout was perfect for our group. Multiple families each had their own space. One in the basement, one on the main level master, and my wife and I were connected to the bunk room with a Jack-and-Jill. Kitchen was well stocked and communication with the host was instant. Property is in a quiet neighborhood halfway between Durango and Purgatory. Great stay!
This house was perfect for our group of ten. There was plenty of space for us and plenty of community spaces as well. The location is great as well. Just a quick trip to downtown Durango. There is a beautiful ranch just minutes away. They serve their grass feed beef and make their own cheese. I would highly recommend visiting the ranch at least once. We went twice :)
Overall, we quite enjoyed our stay in Durango. Leading up to it and during our stay the host was very communicative. He let me know up front that there was some construction/updates going on with the property, some of which were not going to be completed before we arrived (paint, some bathroom updates) due to weather. The house was very spacious and well appointed, the hot tub was well enjoyed, and the neighborhood and grounds were great. The only issue we had was there were quite a few cobwebs and such on the outside (mostly gave the ladies pause), exposed electrical wires in one suite (canned light not yet installed) and some electrical outlets in a bathroom did not work due to construction. The owner was very understanding and accommodating when I informed him. I believe this will be an amazing property when they complete the updates, and would definitely consider it when we come back for another visit.
This is a fantastic property for any large groups looking for a place to land after an eventful outing! If it’s apres ski, or after hiking around Mesa Verde, this house will satisfy even the pickiest of guests. Large hot tub, sauna, tons of sleeping space, games, books, TRAEGER GRILL, and a professional oven/range in the kitchen will keep anyone happy and occupied (not to mention the numerous smart TVs for those preferring to wind down with a show!).
Fruits trees, beautiful landscaping, and so close to the Durango/Silverton train.
The host is incredibly responsive, and took care of the one issue we had immediately.
Don’t miss this one!
We just checked out of The Bair's Den and couldn't have been happier with our stay. The house was everything and more of what was advertised and exceeded our expectations. The cleanliness and comfort were superb, and the extra niceties made our stay like a home away from home. The kitchen was well stocked and included a nice assortment of cocoa and coffee. The beds were comfortable with great linens and plenty of blankets. We had the unexpected surprise of multiple streaming services (Netflix, Roku, etc.) which was great. Playing pool after a long day of skiing was a great way to spend an evening. The only thing that wasn't mentioned in the ad (but we were informed prior to arrival) was that during winter conditions a 4WD vehicle is required to access the property. I'm looking forward to staying here again - especially after the upcoming renovations. Wonderful stay and trip!

About the host
Hosted by Brian L Costello
As a retired military family we have travelled a great deal. Mountain areas are where we feel the most at peace. When the opportunity arose for a home in Durango we were thrilled to be able to purchase this awesome property. We hope to have this be our forever home but are not fully retired from work life (yet!). We have been renting homes, lofts, villas or condo's for about 20 years for our own vacations and much prefer the experience to the large hotel experience. If you are new to the experience we hope you will love it and come back again and again.
Why they chose this property
Our family has loved Colorado for many many years. We have a lot of memories of Colorado and have looked for a long time for a property to continue this tradition. The name of the home is in honor of family members who are no longer with us but who would have loved being here.
What makes this property unique
We love to be able to spread out when we wish or to be able to have a place to be when quiet is desired. With 3 stories of rooms, 3 outdoor areas and nearby activities this is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Nestled on a large lot with spruce, aspen and apple trees in a quiet neighborhood the home offers some glimpses of the surrounding mountains, wildlife and the train. Wood beams and large windows give the feel of a true mountain home. The distances listed on VRBO are incorrect for the purgatory resort. I’ve tried to get them to change this, but they apparently cannot. We are 15 minutes from purgatory and also 15 minutes from Durango. Not 49 minutes as VRBO has listed.
