Amazing find
We chose this property for a family reunion. One couple stayed at the Strater and walked over each day. This is one of our best ever VRBO's. So well stocked. Incredible location. Never used the car during a five day stay, and loved the walks over the river into town. Hosts are wonderful, and live next door. So many outdoor spaces. Most people stay longer, and leave a lot of staples. Cooked on the deck and loved it.

A great place to stay in Durango!
This home is all it is described to be and more. It is spacious, with a beautiful outside deck overlooking the river. The kitchen is fantastic and the bedrooms very comfortable, The hosts clearly put a lot of effort into making it a great home for visitors. The location is also great, sitting right above the Durango bike path. We had a wonderful visit.

Durango
This was perhaps the most well equipped VRBO I have stayed in. There are 5 ways one can make coffee at Teresa’s VRBO, multiple other kitchen conveniences, and other things one typically only finds at home. Layout is optimal as well. Perfect.

Durango Dreamin’
Our visit served as introduction to Durango for my brother, sister-in-law & niece. This welcoming property, on the Animas River, sets the mood perfectly. The east facing, covered deck beckons guests outdoors to soak in the view & the town’s vibe. The location, adjacent to the bridge for quick access to the river walk with all its offerings, is ideal. Inside, this unit provides all the comforts & conveniences of home with a Durango flair. It is, hands down, the best provisioned property I have ever rented. You’ll want for nothing in terms of linens, bathroom toiletries, kitchen appliances & utensils. A stay at the Animas River Basecamp is livin’ the Durango dream.

Our Durango getaway at Animas River Basecamp
Location and property couldn’t be better for a stay in Durango. Right along the river for fishing, and path for walking and biking, walking distance to town, which is an awesome town to explore. Basecamp has super outdoor spaces for gathering with friends, is clean, stocked and well equipped for cooking and relaxing with friends. A great vrbo.

Perfect Vacation Home
We had a great experience staying at Animas River Basecamp. It’s one of the nicest vacation homes that we’ve rented. Everything in the house is high quality and attractive. For two couples, it was very spacious, clean and furnished with everything you would need. We especially enjoyed the “coffee station” in the morning and cooking meals in the evening. We also loved that one of the porches looked out over the Animas River! The apartment is close to downtown Durango, about a 10 minute easy walk. It was nice to park the car for most of our stay. Hosts Teresa and Doug are friendly and helpful, and communication with them was excellent. Checking in and out was simple. Durango is a wonderful place to visit with hiking, biking, good restaurants and historic places at your fingertips. Thank you Teresa and Doug for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Wonderful, comfy, clean home, great location for town and ski
Lovely home. Will be back for sure. Garage fit our Jeep wrangler with roof box on top. Comfy, clean, well equipped house. Nice furnishings & art, lighting, and extras; books, games, plenty of towels, blankets and bedding. Comfy beds. Nice patios. Loved sitting out back over the yard and river and watching the deer who visited. Great coffee and tea supplies. Good washing facilities and kitchen supplies. Super easy communication with owner. Lovely sitting area and dining table. Robes in master plus storage space. Less than 1mile walk to main st and shops/dining. Great spot for drive to Purgatory ski as you avoid most of town.

Ideal Location
Visiting Durango for a family wedding. This was a wonderful rental for two adult couples. Very spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood on the Animas River and an easy short walk to town. Beautiful yard and gardens. Our favorite feature was the deck overlooking the river, a perfect spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Owner was very responsive and greeted us upon arrival. Highly recommended!

Wonderful
More spacious even than pics, had everything we could possibly need. Decor so fun and made us feel a world away from home. Walkable but tucked just far enough away from heart of town to be nice and quiet at night. Sits right on Animas river - beautiful! Owner very responsive, though we didn’t need a thing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The host, Teresa, was accommodating, welcoming and very responsive. We enjoyed the house so much! It is decorated like someone’s own home and she takes care of you like family. We enjoyed all the decor, patios, views and the location to downtown, river access and lakes. It is a quiet neighborhood and quiet house. Parking was easy and the elevator made carrying our stuff in and out a breeze. I hope to stay here again soon! It was wonderful!!

Why they chose this property

This property was extensively remodeled 2008 for my aging mother so that she could be close by, but have her own privacy. We live in the house next door.

What makes this property unique

The location is what sold us on this property. The views of the river are spectacular. It is close to downtown and the extensive river trail. You feel like you are in a private oasis in the heart of town.
