Short stay. Pretty setting!
We were very happy with our stay. The house is set back off the road and no road noise. The house was very well appointed and immaculate! The only challenge was the advance communication. We spoke with the property manager about checkin, entrance to the property, entrance to the house, etc.

Durango Vacation
We loved this home. Perfect for our family stay, open kitchen and living area and the covered patio off the kitchen area was nice for morning coffee. The location was great and we had deer visitors each night and a black bear one evening. We road the train, did a white water rafting trip and a 4 mile hike in the Lake Haviland area. Great time!

Lovely, spacious home! Great location!
The house is very nice with plenty of room! Loved the hot tub and having use of the garage. Great kitchen that's very well stocked. Close to town. Only suggestion is to add some lights or reflectors at the driveway entrance. It's difficult to see when you are coming in after dark. Beautiful view from the house and we loved all the great outdoor furniture and space.

Spacious with great views
Very relaxing- easy access to town- nice home but carpet in lower area needs a big deep cleaning or replace with VPLflooring! Deck space is wonderful- disappointed that grill was broken

Spacious home on interesting land. Good location.
Last minute booking for 2 nights for a funeral trip to Durango. Would have enjoyed staying longer. Great outdoor spaces, pretty wildflower garden, plenty of room for 3 couples, two of whom had small children. Clean roomy hottub. Good views. We experienced two severe thunderstorms which caused mudslides on CR 250, but the road was cleared quickly. Thank you for making a difficult time more comfortable.

Absolutely Amazing
The moment you enter the gates and see this absolutely amazing home nestled into the mountain side and perched above the beautiful river valley below there will be no doubt you’re going to have an amazing adventure! From every single room the open floor plan and large windows brings the beautiful landscape right inside to you! We took full advantage of the multiple sitting areas, enjoying the snow covered views by the multiple exterior fireplaces, the hot tub and covered porch sitting areas…every corner of the house and property have me something to offer! We wondered through the trails behind the house and were able to get up close with the beautiful birds and local wildlife. As we ventured out for our days either on the mountain skiing, into Silverton, or conveniently into Durango we were meet on the river valley drive with flocks of geese, herds of elk, and mule deer it was truly the picturesque scene. We have stayed all over Colorado and have to say this is by far one of the best homes and areas for not only the scenery, the accommodations, and the convenience but the serenity that you could find in a singular place! Valley Retreat is just that… a true retreat! A true 12 out of 10 for the whole family!
