Very nice

Nice and spacious. Three good size bathrooms for each bedroom area. Huge kitchen. We actually saw deer in the yard a couple of times! Heating system is good. Water gets hot pretty quickly. If you are not used to driving on snow and ice, you may want to pass on this property. The drive is very winding and hilly. Luckily, it was mostly gone from the roads for us. We really enjoyed this house!

The house was perfect

Rick did an amazing job with this house from the space, cooking supplies, everything we needed he had and more. We had 8 adults and 1 infant. There’s more than enough room for more. My husband and I stayed upstairs which made it feel as if we had our own home since it was so private with a beautiful balcony where we watched the sunrise from. The deer came on the property the last morning we were there, it was a nice farewell before we headed home. I hope we get the opportunity to stay at Rick’s again when we come back this fall. Thanks Rick for sharing your beautiful home with my family. I forgot to mention, elevation is about 7500 ft. My husband who struggle with elevation sickness did well.

Great Family home!

I will start with the fence for the dogs since it is rare to find fenced properties in the area. It met the requirements to keep my elder dogs inside the massive yard they have. Other details include the massive space you get with the house inside. This was definatley a great spot to stay away from the city but close enough to be able to order food delivery.

Durango, CO getaway

Beautiful home as advertised. Home is very spacious and of course the hottub is a plus. There is everything you need if you just want to chill out at the hose for days. The only advise/suggestion I would give the owner of the home is to make sure that the fllors are always swept after every visitor departs and that here are tv(s) in the bedrooms. All in all we enjoyed our stay in this home. I would truly recommend anyone who is visiting Durango, CO and is looking at staying at a hotel to instead stay in this beautiful home.-Charles M.

Fantastic mountain stay

Stayed for 3 weeks. Family reunion with family staying with us and in Durango. Celebrated in Durango. Home was beautiful, well stocked ranging from kitchen supplies to towels to laundry detergent. Jacuzzi was used extensively. Ate both at outside covered table and inside. Younger family enjoyed the fooz ball table and darts. Rick ( our host) lives in house next door and always available when needed Durango only 15 minutes away and is such a beautiful town Everyone loved our home and stay. Well worth the money Thank you Rick

Durango Oasis

Beautiful inside and out. The spacious interior was comfortable and attractive-- superbly equipped kitchen, and excellent bath, bed and laundry facilities. All enhanced by striking photography from the host. There is an expansive deck for grilling with nearby gazebo, and with hot tub in private corner overlooking a fascinating backyard irrigated with sprinkler system--more like a miniature botanic garden than a yard. Mule deer were frequent visitors because of the apple tree there, and a handsome gray fox made its way past one day. NOTE: 1) although it is fenced, the backyard should not be considered pet-proof, and 2) the driveway is a slim asphalt lane through a canopy of trees--vehicles larger than a mid-roof van could not access it easily.
