Beautiful area
The area was beautiful. The views were great. The downside was the cleanliness of the house. The sheets has dog hair and stains, the coffee pot had old coffee in it.

Spruce Mesa Cabin
This was the absolute best getaway destination. The house was wonderful, just as described and had everything we needed for the week. Plenty of room for our family of seven. With so many fun things to do in the area. Suggestions from our experience include ATV ride on alpine loop, narrow gauge railroad train ride and purgatory resort. The only suggestion that I would make is to correct the error with the dumpster lock number on the Vacasa communications. The code given was incorrect and has been an ongoing issue as a previous guest left a note at the front door with the correct code. Overall, a wonderful home that I would most definitely recommend to others.

Making the best of it!
We originally booked for my oldest nephews graduation. He grew very ill the night of graduation and was not able to make the trip he picked for his grad trip. Unfortunately it became too late to cancel so my mom, my husband, our dog and myself came anyway. And boy were we mistaken. What a beautiful house, what beautiful country!!! We made the best out of a trip that was supposed to be 7 down to 3. The house was gorgeous inside and out. Very cozy!!! Durango was cute. Mesa Verde is a must.

Purgatory Ski Vacation
The house is great, clean and spacious with a super roomy garage. Please be careful in winter to have 4WD and chains handy if needed as it's a ways off the hwy and relatively steep. Good proximity to Purgatory - about 5 miles. During our stay, we got several big snows with a 2 footer at the start - that's why the vehicle recommendation. Beautiful neighborhood with helpful and friendly neighbors should you need assistance. We would rent this place again.

Beautiful Stay!
We had an amazing time in this cute little cabin! The views were amazing, the fireplace was perfect and the beds were clean and comfortable. We don’t normally use “public” hot tubs, but this one was extremely clean & hot with the perfect view. We loved all the extra kitchen amenities, but make sure to bring foil, olive oil(s), ziplock bags, etc… We could tell that everything provided inside the cabin was well thought out. We will be recommending this location to all of our family and friends.

Beautiful!
My family of 6 and our small doggy stayed here for 1 week. It was a marvelous home in a secluded and quiet location away from the road. The neighbors were quiet, stars were amazing and it was a much needed vacation. However, there were some negative issues and concerns. The hot tub had a fine layer of sand along the bottom when we first got in. It made us slightly uncomfortable as it did not feel like it was clean. Furthermore, we were worried about the owners response as they said they would charge if they found sand/dirt in the hot tub indicating we didn’t rinse properly before entering. We contacted the owners through Vacasa in order to make them aware, but also to avoid a charge. We have yet to hear back. On the first night, we heard the garage open in the early hours of the morning. Again, I contacted Vacasa to see if the owner entered but did not hear back. We locked all the doors but it was incredibly uncomfortable knowing somebody could have entered the home while we were sleeping. There was an extra lock box on the outside of the home that we wanted to retrieve the keys to avoid anybody being able to enter the home while we were away (or sleeping), but the code provided did not work. We contacted the agency for this issue and never heard from them. The front guest bedroom ceiling fan and light did not work, but it did have a small lamp on a night stand that we used in addition to our phones to get ready for bed. Lastly, our first day we noticed a security camera hiding behind a curtain indoors that was faced towards the front of the property. We understand the rental agency wanting to know who’s coming and going, but this was never disclosed on Vacasa or VRBO and made us uncomfortable that it could possibly hear everything we were saying. The lack of communication/response from the company and property manager during our stay was our biggest issue. My AT&T cellphone reception was spotty in the area and emails were the only way I could communicate. However, the home was still beautiful with its wraparound porch to enjoy the fresh air and views was worth the trip.

Lovely home but....
The first thing you see when entering the property is a sign asking you to remove your shoes. It didn't give the best first impression, but it would have been more easily overlooked had the whole house not given such a penny-pinching vibe. We didn't notice the tiny jar containing exactly six dishwasher pods (we had booked six days) under the sink, so we ran to the store to buy some. We added it to our list of other items not included with the house: aluminum foil or plastic wrap (none), tissues (one half-full box), toilet paper (two rolls provided for a week's stay with six people), paper towels (one roll provided), kitchen towels (two small provided -- we spilled something the first night and soiled them both). There is one towel per person and although the hot tub easily fits six (house sleeps up to 7 people), there are only two beach towels -- use the same towel you're showering with, I guess and hope it dries overnight. (Really: if you provide beach towels, you must understand that people use them--so why only two?) Signs in the bathroom implore you not to take showers longer than absolutely necessary, and a jetted tub in the master bathroom does not work -- it is just a tub. The cleaning fees were high but the check-out list included items usually seen in places with much lower fees (run the dishwasher, take out the garbage, and start the laundry). The home was nice enough but the decor is dated, and the experience is lessened by the pervasive feeling that someone is cutting as many corners as they can get away with.
