We had a wonderful time in mid-August at this condo. It is clean and nicely decorated. The beds are comfy, and the balcony is large with a great view. Plus, the area was beautiful! Very convenient for hiking and mountain biking right out the back door, and sightseeing nearby.

Perfect for family ski trip!

The condo was the perfect place for our family! The living area was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, even some spices! The view is amazing! The location was perfect, too. Very close to the base, lodge, and ski school. The kids loved sledding behind the condo each afternoon after skiing. I would love to stay here again! Thanks for a great experience.

Owner response:Thanks, Not to early to book for next year! I also have last minute specials, if you are interested, we just received 11 plus inches of new snow Rich

Nice condo--worked well for Thanksgiving family getaway

The property description and photos were accurate and fair. Rich was quick to respond to questions. Great location, especially if you’re skiing--a bit inconvenient if you want to spend most of your time in town as it’s 30 miles north of Durango. It is a good value--size for the cost. Some issues: Although it hadn’t snowed in several days the steep driveway to the units not sanded or plowed so had difficulty getting car up. Only two cars were allowed at the condo so extras had to park about 1/4 mile away and the walk up and down the steep driveway was hazardous. Owner really should arrange to have this salted or plowed. Not especially clean--unit needed vacuuming, cabinets were dirty. Because of that we lacked confidence and felt we needed to wash all the glasses, flatware and dishes before we used them. Take your own bath soap (only 2 tiny bars), extra trash bags (only two provided) and toilet paper (very limited provided) Fireplace -- lots of wood. Take your own kindling and lighter. Internet didn’t work. Fortunately there were plenty of pluses: Upstairs has open space plan--kitchen, dining room, TV area-- and very amenable to large family gathering. It has great views, is nicely decorated, comfortable seating, fireplace and large TV. Master BR is large with closet and dresser for storage. Tub has jets. Kitchen has standard frig and stove, nice dishware set and plenty of glassware. There are many pots & pans--collection of odds and ends most of which which should be thrown out. That would leave more cabinet space for the groceries renters will bring in; The unit easily accommodates eight people in four BR, Additional people on TV room sofas and sleeper. Towels are limited as is extra bedding, sheets and blankets. Overall we had a great time in this condo. The owner has tried hard to provide for good experience and limit the negative surprises. If he’d see to better cleaning and take care of the scary driveway I would have given it an A rating.

Owner response:Some great ideas! Thsnks, We have bought new pots, pans and knifes. Also the carpeting had just been shampoed, and we should have vacuumed after the clean to fluff up. Please come visit us again! Rich

Quiet, spacious mountain condo

For years, we've had our "usual" places to stay in Durango -- both in town and at DMR -- but we needed a bigger place this time, and came across the listing for this condo. I think we have found our NEW "usual" place to stay! The condo is exactly as described. It's very clean and well-supplied. All of the rooms, including the bedrooms, are spacious, updated, and comfortable. The kitchen, great room, and dining area provide plenty of space for the whole family to hang out without bumping into each other. And the view from the deck is spectacular! Book with confidence... you won't be disappointed!

Owner response:I look so forward to having you return!

The condo exceeded our expectations. It was well appointed, quiet and conveniently located to serve as a home base from which to explore the beautiful surrounding towns, lakes and mountains. We had a bit of trouble getting the TV up and running, but Rich was at our side in a minute to quickly correct the problem. We look forward to returning next year, and would recommend this property to any one, any age. It's great! Carol and Lee Walden, Aug. 2011

Owner response:I look forward to having you back with us, Thanks!

Our family (3 couples & 5 children, 9 to 12 years old) had great time here. Good kitchen for breakfast & dinner. Plenty of room. Awesome view of mountains from living area & deck. Plenty of storage for items we brought. Very nice bathrooms. Big dining table & comfortable seating for TV & reading. Spent 1 day doing resort activities (coupons available different places). Did train (bought adult/child free-certain times & days). Scenic drive to Durango & good road. No breeze ever but had 3 fans which helped. Had plenty of beds. Thanks, owners. We were happy we found your place.

Durango Mtn Condo

Very comfortable condo for family use. Really enjoyed the area. Was so quiet with hardly any other vacationers/residents there in the off-season. Spent most of our time in Durango and didn't prepare many meals at condo, but enjoyed the evenings with grand children. Would recommend condo to other family members and friends.

Owner response:Sure glad you had a great vacation! Please come visit us again.

We had a great time in August 2010. Had 7 adults (2 college age). Pool and hot tub was great and deserted off season. A bit of a drive from Durango, but nice to be out of the city. Very quiet in the development. Well equipped and nice layout for the great room. Most of the beds super-comfortable. Enjoyed Durango and even went as far afield as Moab, UT. Had a medical crisis and the local EMT was great, showed up in under 15 minutes at 2 AM. Well-equiped and professional.

Durango condo

Our family loved being at this condo. It was relaxing and we loved sitting out on the deck. The weather was perfect. The owners were easy to work with and would love to go back next year. Our children loved the games that were provided. We only stayed one night, but everyone wished we had booked it for longer.

Owner response:Please do come back and stay longer! Rich
