Thank you for sharing your beautiful mountain home with us. It was one of the most relaxing vacations in a long time. Great beds, which helped us all get a good nights sleep. It was wonderful to have a safe place to let all the dogs run. And boy did they tire themselves out! We can't wait to make a reservation for our next visit to Elk Hollow Retreat!

What an exquisite home to enjoy the mountain air. We and our dogs had a wonderful time. Loved watching the stars from the deck. Such a family and pet friendly place- especially for people who can't travel without their dogs.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We have so enjoyed dinner on the porch, breakfast in the dining room and napping and catching up with friends in the living room. This has been an enjoyable place to rest, play and refill the well. We go home with the thought of looking forward to our next visit. Take care and we hope to see you again soon.

We had forgotten how beautiful the sky is and how many stars there are. Thank you for sharing this beautiful retreat with us. We feel rested and relaxed - ready to get back to the schedule. We especially enjoyed the comfortable beds, the deck and barbecue, and the kids love the "sand circle"! Thank you again!

Our visit was the last week in July. It was a great place to take our kids and grandkids. The house was perfect. Furnished well. The lovely valley was very relaxing and beautiful. We saw Coyotes, Elk and deer during our stay. The owners were very accommodating and careful not to intrude on our privacy. Our grandchildren loved the deck for playing and the yard. I would recommend this vacation spot to anyone. We enjoyed all that Durango had to offer. The people were very friendly. We took the train ride both ways and enjoyed it despite the recommendation to only take it one way and then take the bus back. Our 5 year old wanted both ways. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

We want to thank you for the many visits we have enjoyed at Elk Hollow Retreat. We have stayed there during every season and have had a fabulous time always! In winter it makes a great retreat with easy access to different ski resorts and a comfortable and warm home to recover from the slopes. In summer it offers a great spot to start hiking from and you can also relax outside on the beautiful deck. It is also close enough to enjoy a wild ride down the Animas River. In fall, the colors are amazing! We look forward to all of our future trips to Durango and wouldn’t consider staying anywhere but Elk Hollow Retreat. It is our home away from home!
