Five bedrooms, a game room, a lush backyard, and mountain views near trails and downtown Durango. A home base built for families and groups who want space, outdoor access, and a genuine Colorado summer.
The game room has air hockey and foosball — the right setup for evenings when the group stays in. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and dining space for the full group. The living areas feature a fireplace and comfortable gathering space. The backyard is a private oasis for BBQs, morning coffee, or stargazing around the fire pit.
• 5 Bedrooms | Sleeps 10+ • Fully equipped gourmet kitchen • Game room: air hockey, foosball • Expansive landscaped backyard with fire pit • Multiple living areas with fireplace • Ample parking
Hiking, rafting, and mountain biking nearby. Downtown Durango for boutique shopping, dining, local breweries, and the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad — minutes away.
Guests have full access to the entire home — all 5 bedrooms, living areas, game room, gourmet kitchen, backyard, and outdoor spaces. The home is yours for the duration of your stay. Ample on-site parking is included.
Access details are provided through your guest portal prior to arrival.
This property is professionally managed by Gilson Property Group — not an individual host. Every stay is prepared to the same standard: thorough cleaning, quality linens, and responsive support from booking through checkout.
We give guests their space. If anything comes up — a question about the property, a local recommendation, or a concierge request — we are reachable through the VRBO messenger and respond promptly.
Everything from private airport transfers and grocery delivery to private chefs, in-home spa services, and guided excursions is available through your Gilson guest portal before and during your stay. Browse and book on your own schedule — no phone tag required.
Before your stay, we will ask you to complete a quick identity verification through our guest portal. It takes just a few minutes and is how we ensure every Gilson stay is seamless and secure. A valid driver's license and rental agreement are all that is needed to confirm your check-in details.
A $250 security deposit is collected prior to arrival — similar to a hotel holding a credit card on file — and released in full after checkout once all access items are returned. Guests may also choose a non-refundable Damage Waiver instead, selected during the pre-arrival verification process.
Our guest portal also includes our full concierge menu: private chef, grocery and alcohol delivery, airport transportation, welcome kits, in-home spa services, early check-in and late checkout, guided excursions, and local recommendations — all available to browse and book at your convenience, before or during your stay.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The space is great to relax with family and friends. Teens enjoyed the games and parents could be upstairs hanging out separately. Host was very nice and responsive. Nice clean house with nice beds.
Check-in process was super smooth! The owner was available and communication, exchange of information was effortless. I would recommend this rental to families who have various activities in and around Durango.

Overall, absolutely wonderful place and great host! The property was perfect and the house had everything to help make our stay great. The host responded quickly and helped clarify any questions my group and I had. Wonderful location!
Wonderful large home with huge game room in basement. My 15 yo loved this house! It is in a wonderful quiet neighborhood. Close to old town Durango. The living room TV is giant wand very high quality which is nice.

Thank you Frank you guys were awesome guest. Come see us again.
Host was extremely communicative, easy to contact, and quick to respond. Instructions included within the home were easy to locate and understand. The home was beautiful and had more than enough space for our group of 7 adults and 2 children. The cupboards were labeled making locating cooking supplies, dishes, and utensils easy to locate. The location was close enough to the town of Durango while also being in a beautiful, more remote location away from the hustle and bustle of the main town. I would recommend both this location and host to anyone.
Our stay went well, good location for train. Kitchen well equipped.Games need attention. Safety concerns: No hand rail for front steps, first step too high, large cracks in sidewalk, no egress window for one of the basement "bedrooms"Outside aesthetics needs help. Mowing the grass/weeds would help.

Thanks Pam, we have already addressed some of your concerns. A hand rail has been put on, grass has been cut. We had lots of rain in the area before your arrival. The steps are made to code and crack sement takes thousands of $$$ to fix. Games, i wish I would have known while you were staying there. We will address it.
Thanks for staying with us.
The house, though old, was very clean and roomy enough for our family of 6. The downstairs provided a nice play area for the kids. The kitchen area met all of our needs. We needed to contact the owner and she was easy to reach. I would recommend this property. Durango is a great vacation spot!

Thank you David. It was a pleasure hosting your beautiful family! I try my best to have a great place for our guest. Come see us again.
What a cute, fun, and spacious home. Met the neighborhood cat we named “Post”! Beds were super comfy!
Hostess was kind enough to have to place for early check in and was communicative throughout the entire visit (beforehand) as we requested early check in a few days prior to check in.
Safest neighborhood ever! A 7 mile drive to the heart of historic downtown where shops are cute as heck and the community is super friendly.
Will stay again.

I'm glad you and your family enjoyed the house. Come see us again. Hope you made it home safe!
The property was just as presented - good for larger families. The house is very tech savvy with a many tv’s and hi speed WIFI.
I was surprised that West Durango has zero retail, not a gas station or convenience store, so everything required a trip into Durango proper.

Durango West is a housing community away from Downtown. It's quiet and relaxing. SPEEDWAY is our closest gad station. Which is about 5 to 6 minutes away. The house has everything you need to enjoy your stay.
The house was located about 10 minutes outside of Durango. It was an easy drive to get to the downtown area. The house itself is located in an older neighborhood but nice and spacious. There was plenty of room for eight of us. It did not have air conditioning but many homes in Colorado don’t. It did appear as if it might be having something installed soon though. Overall we had a great stay!

A bit underwhelming
First impressions weren't great, the house didn't have a/c and was very warm but after opening some windows cooled down, it also had a strong chemical cleaner smell and the basement a bit of a pet odor, most of the cleaner and pet smell dissipated after airing the house out. Communication with the property manager was good and the overall of the stay was good. On a positive note the beds were very comfortable.

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, we dont have A/C in the home. Most mountain homes don't have air conditioning We do have plenty of coolers throughout the home. We don't allow pets in our home.
The vacation property was well suited for our family of ten (7 adults, 7 yo and 2 under 3). The main level had two bedrooms, a kitchen, dining and living area. Downstairs there were three bedrooms, a refrigerator/bar area and a large game/play area. The play area was great for the small children. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances. On the patio was a grill. Overall this was a good value for the price. A couple recommendations would be to make sure there was enough paper towels and toilet paper for the guests. There was a problem with one of the lower level bedrooms properly regulating temperature at night. The refrigerator ice maker was not working and no grill brush was provided for the grill which was not clean when I used it. All this being said, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again at this property.

Needs cleaning and maintenance, no mountain view.
We do vacation rentals often, and expect it to be well maintained and clean. House number not visible at night. Bear proof trash bin latch is broken. Need to replace handrail for the front steps we had some older folks in the group that had trouble, barking dog next door, No closet in Master BR?, shower curtains were grossly mildewed, knobs missing in the kitchen, patio door handle broken, very few hangers ( host sent more), Downstairs bathroom plumbing needs overhaul only cold water in left sink, bathtub shower freezing or scalding, floors in downstairs BR and kitchen need mopping, bathtub is moldy and dirty. lightbulbs out in several rooms, gray fabric chairs in kitchen are very dirty..
