Absolutely Perfect

Being new to VRBO I was definitely skeptical and hesitant, but wow, this place has totally spoiled me for any other future stay through VRBO. The value was excellent. I was looking to stay a few nights, last minute, during the week after Christmas, which is just insanely packed and pricey. I was considering the Hilton DoubleTree, since I was pretty sure it would be fresh and clean, but wanted something more private than a generic hotel. I'm SO happy I took the leap and rented the RiverGate Loft. The condo is exactly as it appears in the pictures and it's absolutely huge for a one bedroom. It was very clean, modern, comfortable, and much better than any generic hotel in Durango. So well stocked with anything you can think of, it's crazy impressive. The transaction was fast, simple, and secure. I received my safety deposit quickly after checkout. Thanks so much Jen! Loved it.

We were extremely pleased with our choice for accommodations in Durango. This Loft provided five star hotel quality for a third of what we had just spent in Telluride for a much smaller condo. The views from the loft were simply amazing! We invited two of our friends from Durango to enjoy a BBQ on the patio and they were so impressed they didn't want to leave (even though we had to move inside when it got too chilly when the sun set - which was beautiful from the patio as well). It was a 20 minute drive north to our hiking trail up at Durango Mountain Resort and a 10 minute drive to our hike on the Colorado Trail. It was a 3 minute drive to downtown. We only walked to downtown once because of time constraints, but it was a beautiful walk along the river and the leaves were just as beautiful in town as they were on our hikes. We really appreciated the comfortable king bed, the high quality linens, and the well stocked pantry/supplies. As other reviewers have mentioned, we agree that it was so nice to have everything we needed already at hand. The rental transaction was done through paypal and the owner refunded our damage deposit the same day we checked out. We've stayed at quite a few VRBO properties and this was far and above the best place. It was the easiest rental transaction and the most luxurious value for our dollar!

Very Awesome Condo

My husband and I stayed at this condo over Labor day. We were very impressed. The owner has an insane amount of supplies in stock. It was really, really nice not to have to run out to the store to get things we needed. It was quiet, comfortable and spacious. The breeze from the river was fantastic. The bed was comfortable and we especially enjoyed that there was a netbook for us to use - it's so hard to look up restaurants on the tiny phone screen. I read through most of the reviews before we booked and they were all spot-on when describing how great this place is. We paid through paypal and our deposit was refunded the same day we checked out. We will definitely stay here the next time we vacation in Durango. Thank you, Jen!

My wife and I stayed at this condo in April and I have finally gotten around to writing a review. The place was fantastic! We came to Durango as part of our mountain biking vacation series. There is a great system of mountain trails 1/4 mile from the condo, but we spent most of our time on more grueling trails 10-20 minutes north of Durango. I digress - back to the condo. Open space, relaxing, peaceful, quiet, breezy, modern, clean. Zen. We were comfortable from the moment we arrived until we left Durango a few days later for our next set of rides, this time in Telluride. We stay in vacation rentals and hotels a lot. This property beats them all in every category!

This condo is super clean, is situated in a charming spot just outside of downtown Durango. It is contemporary and spartan in a good way (no clutter) and it is the best stocked vrbo place we have seen. The furniture and bed are top quality; the bathroom is large; and the two flatscreen tvs are nice to have. We were impressed especially with the high quality towels, the stocked bathrobes like a five star hotel, and the many amenities the hosts supplied made it convenient, luxurious and hassle free. When we got there after a long, long trip, it was a real treat to have snacks, sodas, coffee and bathing items in small sizes ready for our vacation to begin. We highly recommend this Rivergate condo!!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this spacious loft condo in Durango. The condo is exactly as shown on the website ... with all the comforts of home... very well stocked & tasteful modern southwest decor. We especially enjoyed the open loft area with all the windows for beautiful views of the Animas River. We stayed here during our road trip through Southwest Colorado and Utah ... our lodging here in Durango was BY FAR the best ! Our deposit was returned promptly within 2 days and the price was most reasonable in comparison to all our other lodging. Thank you for sharing your condo home with us.

Always on the lookout for a new destination, my husband and I decided on Durango for a spring trip getaway. This loft was even more amazing than the pictures suggested. We split our time between mountain biking and relaxing at the loft. It was well equipped for cooking and there was a great healthy grocery just a few minutes' walk across the river. The king bed had high quality linens and was quite comfortable. The entire loft was very spacious, contemporary, and quiet. Being ex-military, my husband was impressed with how clean it was (he is tough when it comes to that). We rode our bikes along the river to downtown and would gauge it at about a mile and a half. We saw a few short cuts that we were hesitant to take, being from out of town. Durango was a great choice. The people were friendly. The weather was perfect. We both highly recommend this VRBO property. We're planning a return trip for late September when the leaves are turning and will be staying here at Jen's Rivergate Loft!

Amazing Condo

My wife and I drove up to Durango for our grandson's karate tournament a few weeks ago. My son's house was already full, so we found this condo on VRBO.com. We both highly recommend this condo. I think it would be great for anyone, not just old folks like us. It was luxurious, very quiet, very clean, and very comfortable. We enjoyed a mid-afternoon sun session (translation = nap) each day on the balcony enjoying the river and the mountains surrounding us. The condo was truly amazing. You'll be happy with your choice. Thank you.

We really enjoyed this condo. It had lots of room, was very close to downtown, stocked with all sorts of extras, and the views are exactly as pictured here - but even better in person. We enjoyed the large soaking tub with the provided bath salts after our time at the ski resort. It was clear to us that the owners paid alot of attention to the details and the payoff was that we didn't need to shop for essentials even once during our entire five night stay. The sweet little computer helped us find the cool places to go in Durango. Great location - Awesome views - Killer patio - Easy paypal payment/deposit refund - Comfortable bed - Comfortable sofa & chairs - Spit-Spot Clean!

My husband and I enjoyed an amazing, fun filled, long weekend last week in Durango. We could not have picked a more perfect rental. It was immaculate, stocked with things that made my wife happy time and time again, quiet, luxurious, and comfortable. The weather was so great during our visit that we were able to ski two days, and hike two days. The transaction through paypal was easy and our deposit was refunded the day after we got home. We recommend you visit Durango and we highly recommend this Loft to pamper you when you come home to rest and replenish!
