It was everything I imagined.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was warm and welcoming. The decor was amazing. There was plenty of room for the family to be together and relax. We loved listening to the water running in the creek behind the house. We would love to come back again.

Perfect Cabin
Honestly the pictures on line don't do it justice. The place and location are stunning. The river is literally right out back and the view out every window is incredible! There is even a sliding door in the Master Bath that goes out to the back deck that I would open every morning while getting ready and listen to the water and nature all around. Not far from city limits of Durango!

Impecable!
This property was wonderful for Thanksgiving with friends. Beautiful location near the river and among the trees. While there are other properties nearby, it faced the river and seemed very secluded. Sunshine on the first day and snow two days later. Thanks to the owners we did not have to shovel ourselves out from 11”! Incredibly well equipped from linens to kitchen equipment to outside seating. One of the best equipped kitchens I have experienced with VRBO and one of the most clean properties upon check in. The owners were responsive before and during our stay. Made for a perfect visit.

Family trip
House was perfect for family vacation. House provided us with a great place to relax after days at Purgatory and site seeing around town. Home was as advertised and provided us with a rare opportunity for generations to make memories and enjoy time together. Will definitely consider staying here again during summer to enjoy the other great opportunities the property offers outside.

Paradise cabin on the river
We loved the house-perfect location on the river! Lots of fish to catch and release on the river. The house was spotless, tastefully decorated, and the kitchen was well supplied. Easy trip to downtown Durango, also. We enjoyed the late afternoon sun on the back deck. Next time in the area, we would love to return…

This was our second summer vacationing at this beautiful property on the river. It is in a neighborhood but you can't see any other houses from the back deck so it feels very secluded. Hope to visit again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
We Live in Kansas and enjoy every year spending time in Colorado. We purchased this home to get away with family and friends. Durango is amazing with such a neat downtown with shopping, art studios and great dining. We enjoy outdoor sports and love being a short drive away from the Slopes

Why they chose this property

We bought this home because we wanted a true log home. We loved the idea of being right on the river and having the mountains as our backdrop. The layout of the home is open but yet so cozy with the massive fireplace. This home fit all of our needs with the updates and open floorpan, expansive windows and large kitchen.
