The location is perfect for going into Durango and also accessing the trails for hiking, and other mountain activities. Excursions to Ouray, Silverton and even Telluride can be accomplished in a day.The house had everything we needed and very clean. It is an older home that's not perfect but extremely comfortable. No A/C but cools off in the evening and fans are available.Definitely would stay again. And Taylor was a great host and responded to all questions immediately.

Outside Durango

The owners were very communicative and friendly. Pros:-4 bedrooms-Lots of space for parking-Clean-Rooms were large-Grill-Large outdoor area for kids to play Cons:-Farther from downtown so if you want walking distance it’s not for you. However if you want more space and less people than this would be a pro. -Upstairs bathrooms only had a tub and no shower.-With the slanted roof you couldn’t stand up properly at the sink and in the tub-No AC was very warm upstairs -Only 1 TV in the main living space-If you’re older or have walking issues/disability the stairs to get into the place are extremely steep and some have a very large step up distance. -The place is definitely more rugged than the pictures show

Lovely Rustic Home

We had a little one (3) and 4 adults staying for a quick get away to spend time together. The reviews are spot on, house is clean, we enjoyed the game room over the garage, and the furniture is comfortable and well laid out. Wifi is quick, TV easy to use, and beds are comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and appliances worked well. The parents of the kiddo really appreciated the washer and dryer (and the laundry soap provided). The hosts are very responsive, some of the best we have had over the years.

Great place for our adventures

The property was setup nicely for hanging out, making meals and having access to so many beautiful places to explore! The property does not include shower gel, soap or shampoo so we were caught off guard on that but otherwise everything is provided. The game room and basketball court were awesome to use as well! Loved the valley and mountain views, and seeing the sunrise each day.

Fun weekend at an unusual cabin.

We are a family of 5 adults. This cabin was unusual for several reasons:1 - This is not a good choice for mobility challenged people. The steps up to the front door are challenging and there is a spiral staircase up to 2 bedrooms and bathrooms.2 - There are only 2 showers. There is a full bathroom with shower in the master bedroom and a shower stall in a room off the laundry room. There are no showers upstairs.3 - The front door lock was unpredictable, so we mostly left the house unlocked when we left.4 - The beds were comfortable and the kitchen seemed adequate although we did not cook at the house.5 - The location was good for going to Purgatory Resort.

Stayed here with friends for a soccer tournament

This was a good home to stay in- it was VERY clean which won us over! It is definitely quirky and had some minor inconveniences (some doors won't close and several light bulbs were out upstairs- wasn't a huge deal but we didn't have much light up there at night) but the cleanliness and the neat game room would bring us back!

Durango Family Getaway

This Durango worked well for our multi-generational family. It had lots of room for the kids to run and play as well as areas for the adults to hang out and de-stress. The cabin was large, easy to get to and close to everything we needed. I would recommend this property if your visiting the Durango area!

Volleyball tournament

We booked this property for a volleyball tournament. I is a little bit outside of town but perfects. It is an easy drive but your stay feels like you get the best of both worlds (mountain vacation) and close enough to drive in multiple times a day if needed. We had two families and grandparent stay. It was perfect as each adult couple and grandma got our own bedroom and bathroom. The kids had their own space (bedroom and little hang out room). The game room was an extra bonus and so much fun. There is plenty of space for everyone making it an easy vacation. The host was so nice and responsive. We accidently locked ourselves out of a room and it was fixed promptly. We loved our stay and will go back.
