Mountain perfection

Couldn't have been happier with our VRBO and with the host. Nice and clean and full equipped for enjoyment. Super Deck looked out onto gorgeous Mountain scenery and access to Durango was great. I highly recommend this site and the host.

Great relaxing getaway - near Colorado Timberline Academy

We were bringing my kiddo back from Spring Break and decided to stay an extra night and found this cute little A-frame not even 1/2 mile down the road. Super convenient, easy to find and Vita was awesome with communication.

A-Frame Weekend in Durango

It was perfect for our short stay in the area. Comfortable bed and a kitchen with all the basics. Quiet with the sound of a creek off in the distance with horses grazing in view. Good value for the price. Easy drive also to Silverton & Ouray as a day trip.

Cute property located in a very convenient area. It was an easy drive to Durango or venturing up the million dollar highway toward Ouray. Great communication with Vita. She was very accommodating. Sitting out on the front porch you had an amazing view of the mountains along with the wildlife. Great property for a Colorado getaway.

Norman & Steve

This was a great stay! Very close to downtown Durango. The property manager was very helpful, and all our questions were answered in a timely manner. Super host! We highly recommend the property to anyone interested in visiting this beautiful area of Colorado. Most properties do not accept dogs but in this property we were able to bring our service dog.

Overall, very cute and cozy home! The beds were very comfortable. We even heard an elk call while we were there! It was very dark when we arrived late at night. Some outdoor lighting would have been helpful but we used our phone flashlights. The electrical outlet in the bathroom didn’t work but other than that, we really enjoyed the home. It was easy to find, had all amenities we needed and the owner was very responsive to our concerns. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Quaint cabin

If you are looking for a rustic getaway, this is the place for you. I emplore you, please don't go in summer or early fall. We booked our trip I early Sept. When we arrived the spiders were everywhere and the temp in the cabin was over 90 degrees. There is no ac in this cabin. Management response was we can bring you some fans. We were there 2 hours and left. 4 day trip spent in a hotel, money was wasted due to cancelation policy. Be aware before you book

Ken - Our home is located in the mountains where the need for air conditioning is quite rare. In fact, the night you arrived the temp dropped down into the 50’s. In regards to the cancellation policy. Ours is quite flexible. We offer a full refund within days of check in. And I even stated that if you cancelled the remainder of your booking with VRBO and I could rebook your dates, which probably would have happened, since we are usually fully booked, I would have refunded you for those days. I even reached out to VRBO to have them contact you. You never cancelled. I’m sorry that you were not happy.

Sweltering hot, comforter smelled of BO, bad experience

Cabin was sweltering, small air conditioner, no cross ventilation. We have stayed in cabins in CO before without air conditioning that had screens on windows and fans with no problem - this was not the case. Comforter smelled strongly of BO. 1/2 door from kitchen into bathroom. Electric in bathroom didn't work. stayed 1 night & checked out. Host won't refund money.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 29, 2024
Robert and his wife Susan refused any and all correspondence via VRBO. After numerous attempts to get them to cancel, they refused and have subsequently filed a charge back for their entire stay. They blocked my calendar for a week and I have not been paid. Ironic that my “comforter smelled” (it does not) while it was “sweltering” in our home, that happened to have an air conditioner installed in the bedroom. Why would you want to use a comforter if it was so hot you could not bear the heat? We also have several fans in our cabin. Electricity works perfectly. They enjoyed their stay for the night and left without paying me. Worst guest I have ever encountered! Would not host again nor would I ever recommend them to any other host.

Ideally situated for Durango or Purgatory

This property is exactly as advertised. It is situated between Purgatory ski resort and Durango so is VERY accessible to both. If I were a skier, this place is perfect. It is right on the hwy so when outside you will hear the traffic, but you will also get to see the train-how cool is that?! The A frame we stayed in is small so even though it sleeps 4, it would be tough to hang out with 4 people if that is your intention. For the two of us, it was perfect. The host is the best communicator ever and will go out of her way to make sure your needs are met. She even took care of pet by leaving a blanket for her. The place was also so clean when we arrived. Thanks so much for everything.
