Overview
This property sets by the Animas River 2 miles outside of Aztec NM. It has beautiful views of the river, farmland and the mountains. The elevation is about 5500 is close to hiking, Aztec Indian Ruins are just a mile and a half away. Navajo Dam is 25 minutes...Durango is about 25 minutes. This is an affordable home for being a base to many adventures. There are 2 bedrooms, and a nice mattress area, washer and dryer, gas fireplace, 1 full bathroom. French doors open from 1 bedroom and great livingroom onto a private patio, with a propane grill, firepit and plenty of geese, deer and sunsets to die for as you relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. If you look under the section ABOUT ME, you will see that I live upstairs by myself, and the whole 1250 sq ft bottom section is accessible privately down landscaped stairs, through a private gate and into French doors. I work full time and have another VRBO property in Bayfield Colorado that I manage, so I am not home much. I don't even see many of my guests.
About Teresa D'Aun Nolen
This is my 2nd Vacation Rental. I purchased it in November 2017 for myself to live in upstairs and to rent out to travelers for the bottom half. The bottom story has its own entrance with 3 sets of French patio and gorgeous views of the river, I still work full time for another 4 year years or so in radio broadcasting sales, which has been my passion for 30 years. I bowl on a league, love to travel and spend time with my grandkids.

Why Teresa D'Aun Nolen chose Aztec
This property has the Animas River and a wide ditch out the back. The property goes into the river, so you can fish, hike around, quietly listen to the river up high, see wildlife on the river, and hear the farm animals from across the river. The weather is good most of the year, and the house is close to alot of destinations.

Beautiful setting
Teresa D' Aun Nolen was very accommodating to all our needs. We used the BBQ grill out front of on the patio facing the Animas river listen to wildlife & enjoyed the views.
Thank you Ms. D'Aun
Comfortable, but with a few issues
This is a comfortable unit and the location is good, but there are a few things to be aware of. I see the description of the property has recently been re-written from when I booked. I thought I was booking an entire house, but it is only the basement. The owner lives upstairs. As I see others have mentioned, the steps to get down to the unit are not really easy to navigate. They are gravel and landscape ties and are uneven. At night there are lights, but there are steps that get no light, so you are stepping into a black hole. Dragging a suitcase up and down those steps is not easy and not for anyone who has any physical limitations. Although it is likely not an issue in this location, it's really not possible to lock the unit. The second bedroom has sliding doors that do not have a lock. There is also no way to lock the door on the stairs leading to the owner's part of the house upstairs. This wasn't really a problem for us, but something to know. Not everyone is comfortable with an unlocked unit, even in a safe rural setting like this.
One other thing, one of the gps apps I use incorrectly identified the location of the address. Best to check a couple different apps if you are depending on them to help you find the house.
The beds were comfortable. The unit was the best equipped and supplied that I have ever stayed in. The owner was pleasant and accommodating. I would recommend this unit, as long as you are aware of the issues I've mentioned.
Initial impression was good, pretty landscaping & the fenced in patio area was nice.
This property in our opinion is NOT for 60+ people (mainly the stairs & privacy). We thought the rental was the picture we were seeing on VRBO ~ no, it was just the bottom part, the owner lives upstairs ~ which is fine but disclose that. One pic on the site appears to be taken from her balcony, we did not have that view. Not as private as we would like & the stairs for us were very dangerous especially @ night as well as the unloading & loading. We thought by the pics we could get to the river, no....VERY steep & we didn't see a way down. The bed was very good & the space was okay for a couple nights. We won't stay there again The owner was polite & responded to our questions.
