The Worst Experience
One of the worst vacation rental experiences I've ever had. Where do I start...? When I arrived, I found that the unit was only accessible by a tight spiral staircase. It would have been impossible to haul luggage larger than a small overnight bag up those stairs--to say nothing of the large cases I had. This was NOT disclosed in the listing. The listing is borderline fraud. The front desk could do nothing, so I called the Customer Service line. After 45 minutes, the rep finally said that they could put me in another room -- as long as I paid the up-charge! What could I do? I'd driven 14 hours and was exhausted. The replacement unit was terrible. The loft where the bed was, was uninhabitable due to no AC upstairs. (To say nothing of the stairs to the loft, which were hazardous due to slippery wood and a bannister far wider than the human hand, which meant that if you slipped, there would be nothing to grab on to. You'd probably die.) What appeared to be the only closet was locked, so I spent the week tripping over my bags. If you stay here, know that your stuff is going to be spread out all over the floor. There's simply nowhere to store it. The TV was not functional. The DirectTV was not activated. There's so much more, but the most important point is the fraud with regard to the intentional omission of the fact of the spiral staircase. I fully intend to pursue a refund due to this willful deception.

cozy & intimate (and great location)
clean, updated property
location was perfect for all of our planned activities & excursions in the San Juan’s
the property mgmt staff was A+++ in attentiveness & service (an intangible plus)
fyi; getting luggage up & down the exterior, tight-spiral staircase may propose to be a challenge for some guests (be aware / mindful of this)
only reason for not getting 5 stars: the single washer / dryer unit is not as advertised; property owners need to invest in a stackable combo unit of separate washer & dryer units

Great Condo
We loved the condo, but 4 stars because the entry by spiral staircase should be up front and the shower drain should be either permanently fixed or completely cleaned before each rental - totally clogged for us, but maintenance came and cleaned it.
Condo windows face parking lot, not the golf course.
But great location, safe, clean.

Description is not correct!!!!!!
Property was beautiful and exceptionally clean. Fireplace remote was missing so we couldn’t use it. Description says spriral stair case to deck. Not true. Very very difficult to get luggage up the spiral staircase. I can’t imagine doing it in the winter. View described were not correct. View is trees. Nice but not what was described. Pool and gym are not disclosed in description as being a half mile down the he road in the lodge. Pictures very Deceitful as they look like they are on property. Property manager Adam was very nice but could not give me the discount I felt I should have considering that I spent the evening and my morning on the phone with them. I asked the rep that took over when Adam got off to have the manager call me. She never did. Never got remote for fireplace either so we couldn’t use it.

Great time and nice rental. Would have liked to have had a snow shovel in the rental though! Seems like a basic thing? Also given wrong information regarding coffee maker which was frustrating. Also, lodge with the advertised amenities (hot tub, restaurant) was closed most of the time we were there. Overall good (not fantastic) experience but rating it less than a 5 because of misinformation. Unit itself was very nice and clean.

Reviewer Comments:
The pictures enticed us to rent this condo. But was not fun lugging 50 lb luggage up a 1.5ft wide spiral staircase to the 2nd floor with 6 inches of snow and ice on it. This very minimalistic style provided no drawers to store your clothes, only a bar in the entry way to hang clothes. The bath was tastefully updated, but with only two hooks to hang bath towels we had to drape them outside the bathroom to dry. The washer/dryer combination doesn't have a "dry only" selection so you can't dry towels, ski clothes etc without washing them first.The kitchen was reasonably equipped, but a refrigerator that doesn't have water in the door or make ice cubes??? Really. And be prepared for the heater to kick on frequently next to the bed. The humidity was 35% inside - proudly displayed by the thermometer by the bed. Just no humidifier that we found.It is an attractive place, but was a big fall risk for us going up and down the spiral staircase in the dark with ice and snow on it. And not very practical for a winter / ski trip with lots of clothes.We would recommend the Mineshaft restaurant at the Glacier Club. Convenient good food and great friendly staff. Takeout options too.

Cute Studio
It was a nice apartment. The neighborhood is nice. Kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans if you don’t want to eat out. Plenty of towels and wash cloths! You’re about 25 minutes from downtown Durango. Host is super responsive.
A few issues: Had to change the bedding when we arrived due to stains and crumbs on the sheets when we pulled back the covers. The washer/dryer duo is kind of a pain, but it does dry your clothes after a few hours. There are no lights outside so coming in after dark is a little rough. They do have head lights for you to use. Only one roll of toilet paper was left for us. So we had to go out and get some one night when we ran out. The public wifi is spotty. I had to use my hotspot at times when the wifi wasn’t working. I wish there was secured wifi in the unit. It’s sufficient for a weekend trip though!

This is a very nice studio condo which appears exactly as depicted in the photos. It is nicely updated, comfortable, and very clean. The location is in a quiet, scenic area convenient to both Durango and Silverton. The kitchen is well equipped including a Keurig, and there is a clothes washer (no dryer though). However, there are coin operated dryers very nearby. Check-in and out were very easy at the main lodge just up the road, and a hotel-style magnetic card is used to access the condo.The only item of note is the spiral staircase to access the unit. It is fairly tight, and not the easiest way to get luggage, etc. up and down. It also might provide a challenge for anyone who has any mobility issues. Overall, this was a great place to stay, and we would be happy to stay here again.

Great location. The views are amazing and the condo, though it is small, was updated and cozy. We lost water for half a day and had to have the toilet repaired, but maintenance did a great job. We gave four stars instead of five because the condo was very warm when we arrived and it took a full day to get it cooled down. We suggest cranking the AC and closing all blinds before guests arrive.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a very relaxing trip. The apartment was very nice and seemed recently updated. We only had two minor issues: 1) the shower drained extremely slowly, like 30+ minutes and 2) it didn't cool off inside the apartment until the 2nd day. As for issue #1, we just worked around it. It really wasn't THAT big of a deal. As for issue #2, we purchased a cheap fan to boost air circulation. And, as I understand it, this is an unusually hot summer for Colorado, so I'm certain that contributed to the issue. As did us not leaving the curtains down all day and, thus, allowing hot hot sunlight to fill the space. Regardless, by night #2, we were VERY comfy. We met a couple of neighbors who were really kind. We used the pool and hot tub. But, mostly, we relaxed and ate AMAZING food. Thank you for allowing our stay!
