"What a great trip! This is our second vacation to Durango and this place was exactly what we were looking for! The house was so comfortable and the river & pond were picture perfect. Our boys had the time of their lives riding bikes, fishing & playing in the river. Also, thanks for letting your dogs stay with us a few days - they were SO much fun! We have lots of great memories from our short stay and realize how awesome it must have been raising your 3 boys out here! It was a pleasure to meet y'all and we hope to return in the future!" ~ Mindy & Scott B. August 2009.

"What a wonderful experience we had - thank you for the use of your beautiful home. The trout pond was a huge hit for our boys & visited almost daily (& several times). The view from your porch were breathtaking & we loved sitting out at night, watching the stars. I especially loved sitting on the window seat every monring with my coffee and Bible. We have made many memories during our 1st visit to Durango & thank you for playing a role in them. Fish count: 6 trout, 1 bass, all released." ~ Eric & Debbie L. July 2009.
