The house and property are awesome. Sitting on the balcony in the adirondack chairs watching the river, listening to birds, and drinking coffee was a highlight of our trip!

The house was beautiful and fit our family well. Naturally, the outdoor views made for a great stay. We were completely comfortable. We slept great and easily enjoyed our family time. Plenty of room to hang out, great sleeping arrangements, and nice size bathrooms. The host family was very friendly and welcoming.

Great Location, Beautiful House

We had a great time and really enjoyed Durango and the house. Gorgeous scenery all around, and the house was very comfortable for our two families of four. The beach area was very nice, make sure to go down there and check out the views.

Wonderful place to stay!

We really enjoyed our time at Animas river house! We stayed there while visiting our daughter at Fort Lewis for the weekend. The proximity to town and campus was perfect! The house was large enough for the whole family to enjoy themselves! Everything was clean and well kept. We will definitely stay here again while visiting. Thank you for the great stay!

Perfect Escape to the Mountains

We loved staying here! The house was the perfect size for 12 of us. We had plenty of sleeping room and room to spread out. The porch is amazing and we spent almost all down time on the porch, looking at the river. Our highlight was getting to interact with the sweet llamas!

Polar Express

Our family came to Durango for the weekend to ride the Polar Express. Finding a house that has enough bedrooms and space for our family is hard, but this house was perfect. The kids loved seeing the animals on the property. Everything was so comfortable!

Beautiful setting and great location. Accommodated all our needs. Owners are very kind and keep you updated on any issues that may arise (we had a planned power outage, which was no big deal). Huge plus: the neighbors had the cutest puppers <3

Riverside Retreat

Fantastic house for larger groups. The house was perfect for our group of 8 friends. Easy drive to downtown, golf, mountain biking, and the river access is right out the back door. Daily train passing was fun to see and lots of wildlife around to enjoy.
