Very nice, clean, and fully furnished upstairs of a house. House backs up to the river and Kendall Mountain. Backyard is fenced for pets. Owner was very responsive to questions about gas heater which was off when we arrived on a Sunday evening. We would definitely recommend this property and plan on returning.

Great stay. Close to the river and town. Loved the deck. The BBQ grill was a wonderful surprise. Just a FYI, there are 16 stairs to the unit, which is located on the 2nd floor. Not a problem for us. Wonderful stay, wonderful hosts!

The house was in a beautiful location and easy to walk to down town. Just as described. The hosts were also super responsive. The place was a little dirty (ex there was a hair in the bed before we got into bed) and there was a shelf falling off the wall when we got there. But this is all general wear and tear things that I expect of a VRBO so it wasn’t an issue. Would still recommend :)

Silverton Ski Trip - Rule of 5

We were on a family trip to Silverton with the main purpose of skiing at the nearby mountain. The Animas River House was perfect for our 5 night stay in town. It was only a 5 minute walk to the Silverton town center and was a good size for a group of 5. We really enjoyed our stay!
