Excellent trip

A very nice place with more than your average amenities. Clean, well equipped and located about 10 minutes from downtown. Great views and overall super comfortable place to stay. I've stayed at many VRBO's and I have to say the beds were perhaps the best of any place I've been, especially after a hard day skiing. Thank you and hope to be back next year!

A beautiful getaway

My family and I came out for the polar express. We ended up having to book this place last minute due to our other home ended up getting canceled less than a week before our trip, and honestly we we’re surprised the home was available as it is beautiful, clean, and was about 20 minutes away from town which was nice to relax.The grill was out of propane but a simple call and the owner brought it within the hour. We would book again!Bonus they have a friendly kitty who greets upon arrival

Cozy and quiet

We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views, the house was beautiful and clean. Only thing we were a little sad about and looking forward to, the hot tub was not in working condition, and propane tanks were empty. Other than that it was a great stay and very cozy.

Luxurious, clean, and gorgeous views!

We all loved this house. It was so clean, updated and the views were amazing. The weather/temps were perfect too! We all felt like the house made us feel like we were at a fancy spa vacation with how updated and modern it was and the location. The bathrooms were great and my idea of a dream bathroom. It was spotless and made us feel like we got to stay in a luxurious resort on our short vacation! The owner was very responsive, friendly and helpful as well 😊 No complaints here!

Great House Near Durango

Our stay was great! Came into town for a wedding just outside of Durango. The house was perfect. The location and views are stunning, the layout of the house was great for our large family to stay together. Cleanliness and amenities were great. I would highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again.

Lovely home with a few things to consider

Our stay was enjoyable overall! But, there are a few things to consider before booking. Depending on who you are, an aspect to note is the 20-30+ Christian books throughout the house. While providing a bible for guests is a common thing, the sheer volume of religious literature was a bit uncomfortable for us. Most of our group identifies as LGBTQ or has had past negative religious experiences, so this made us uneasy. We fully respect that we are staying in someone else's home and honor all beliefs, but the amount of religious material felt overwhelming and somewhat forceful (on nightstands, by toilets, etc). It didn't give us the impression of an inclusive or welcoming environment. This isn't evident in the listing or photos, so it's worth considering if this could affect your stay. A couple of grocery considerations: we didn’t care for the water from the tap or fridge filter, so we bought jugs of water for the weekend. Also, while basic spices are available, if you like hot sauce, spicier things beyond chili powder, or salt that isn't basic iodized table salt, you’ll need to bring those. Considerations aside, the property itself was lovely! We enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, waking up with coffee on the patio watching the sunrise and resident deer, relaxing on the big couch, and appreciated the laundry supplies after our hiking and biking adventures around Durango. We were also grateful for the coffee and soy milk the host provided for us.

Perfect family vacation home!

This mountain home was spectacular! It was very clean, with great ammenities and very comfortable beds. The view off the back deck was to die for! We loved being outside of town and having so much privacy. The deer that wandered into the yard each day made our morning coffee extra enjoyable. We were only 10 minutes to historic downtown Durango. We were able to visit so many places and then retreat to this wonderful home each evening. We can't wait for our next trip! We will for sure be looking this property up as our first choice!

Rural stay with great views

This house is about 20-25 minutes from downtown Durango is beautiful. The area was quiet and remote. My guess is this was an older cabin that someone did a great job renovating. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with empty cabinets for food storage and appliances seems fairly new to me. Living room and dining rooms were spacious and had comfortable furniture, though it can be warm in summer evenings. The beds/bedrooms were comfortable. The bathrooms were modern and spacious. Our kids, all toddlers, were safe and enjoyed the playground and deer in the yard, though next time I'd bring a baby gate for the stairs. Lauren was responsive with all my questions and helpful at providing all the extras we requested. I think my only negative about the house was no over the range hood to remove cooking gasses when using the gas oven/range, however there was a grill outside. If I were doing it again, I would pack more food so I don't have to go in to Durango as much and spend more time on the decks outside. Hope this helps!

Privacy needed

Someone came into the home while we were out. Noticed lights on in a locked closet. And gates open. We could tell someone walked in. Also someone living underneath the house. Didn’t know their was people on a third floor below us.

Lovely Home outside Durango

We stayed for two nights, and I wish we had stayed longer. It didn’t feel like a rental property, but it felt like someone’s home. The kitchen was well stocked, the appliances were nice, the linens were nice, the mattresses were good…The view was amazing with great common area to hang out in. I hope we can make it back someday. And…there’s a playground in the backyard! We had trouble getting the lock pad to work initially, but we eventually figured it out. The owner was quick to return our call. It is a bit outside of town. It took us about 20 minutes to drive to the grocery store.

Perfect Retreat

The cabin was so charming! Every detail was thought out. The view is amazing, and the local deer put on quite a show! We enjoyed coffee on the patio each morning watching the local wildlife. My kids fell in love with the neighbor cat, too. We had a wonderful time in the area!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I am originally from Oklahoma and moved to Colorado in 2016. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with Durango and the surrounding area. Despite being a smaller mountain town, Durango has a lot to offer! During the winter I enjoy snowboarding and in the warmer months hiking with my dog, and biking with friends. Hosting has been quite fun for me as I like meeting new people, allowing guests to partake in my abundant home, and sharing all the adventure SW Colorado has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The view from my property is breathtaking as the La Plata mountains are on full display from the back porch, not to mention the amazing sunsets that take place over the peaks each night! The neighborhood is quiet and out of town just far enough to feel secluded. The deer and wildlife are a great addition to the yard and quite entertaining to watch in the morning and evening hours.
