Thank you for staying with us, and for completing a review! We were happy to host you and your group. We are so glad to hear that you had an amazing stay. Yes, per the listing description info - "Coin laundry in the guest service building at the south end of the Gambel Oak parking lot.", as the unit does not have it's own washer and dryer and so detergent is not provided. We look forward to having you stay with Vacation Rental Collective again in the future!

Summer vacation to Durango

I enjoyed the property, location and amenities. I did choose to stay there because of the restaurants on site; unfortunately, as renters we were not able to make reservations to either restaurant so we didn’t get to experience that.

Durango vacay

The location at the Glacier club was great. Lots of stairs to get to the unit. Bed upstairs was really firm. You can tell the unit was old and they are trying to make it look modern. Laundry facility was directly across from unit which was nice.Pretty good location between Durango and Silverton.

Condo outside of Durango

The condo was decorated nicely and was comfortable. There were some cleanliness issues which were reported to VRC including outside deck, entry and bath. We should have realized how far outside of Durango the location actually is, it is noted in the description. Also was not aware that the hot tub, fitness room, pool and restaurants are a half mile from the condo. Note, there are a lot of steps from the parking lot and up to the hot loft. Beautiful country for hiking.

Nice Place

We were happy with the accommodations . It was clean and had all the supplies we needed - including some spices for cooking. I was apprehensive seeing the electric grill on the patio (property regulations), but it performed VERY well. Since the listing said Durango, we thought we would be in Durango, but we were really ~20 minutes north of Durango towards Purgatory and Silverton. This worked out for us since the hikes we were doing were in that area anyway. This is a very large property with a nice golf course. They had a gym and pool - although the pool had very few lounge chairs for the pool size. Overall we liked the place and would consider it for future plans!

It's great that the electric grill performed well and that the location ultimately suited your hiking plans, even though it wasn't exactly where you expected. We understand how important it is to have accurate detail listings, and we'll review our listing to ensure it's clearer for future guests. We appreciate your feedback about he pool lounge chairs as well, and we'll look into how we can improve that area. We're pleased to know you enjoyed your stay overall, and we would love to welcome you back for future visits! Kind regards, -Holly

Get Your Steps In With Stairs

Condo was very nice. We did not like all the stairs outside going up to the condo. They were not well lit. Also difficult carrying luggage up and down stairs. In the condo it never cooled off upstairs (spiral staircase) even tho they had a portable fan. Who wants to climb those stairs and take luggage up them. The downstairs bathtub was not clean so I used the bathtub upstairs. They said they would come clean it but i chose not. Lots of closer space. Nice home furnishings.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at the condo. We appreciate your compliments about the interior and furnishings, and we're sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the stairs leading up to the condo, especially with poor lighting. Your feedback about the difficulty of carrying luggage upstairs is noted, and we will consult with the HOA to see if there are options to improving the lighting. Regarding the temperature upstairs, we apologize for any discomfort caused. This condo does have central air, and as you noted, a fan upstairs. There were higher than normal temperatures during your stay. We appreciate that you brought the tub cleanliness issue to our attention and would have loved the opportunity to remedy that for you. We have addressed this concern with the cleaning company. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continually strive to improve our guests' experiences. If there's anything else we can do to address your concerns or if you decide to stay with us again, please let us know. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back.

Perfect Workcation Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I were looking for a great setup where we could both work during the day and then hike and bike after work, this property delivered. The upstairs bedroom has a large monitor (I brought two, on of which I didn't need) and has a comfortable desk and chair. The downstairs bedroom has a smaller desk where my wife worked, the LAN drop even worked for her phone. I even was called upon to do a work trip while staying here and found that I could get to my destination easily from DRO. The gym at Tamarron is fantastic for a vacation property and rivals the best hotel gyms. We also liked the location which is makes it easy to get to town or to the high-county hiking and trails above Purgatory. In terms of the setup we found the supplies provided by VRC to be more than adequate and the home had everything we needed to cook. There are a lot of steps to this place which is disclosed in the description so It was a little tiring hauling my bike up the stairs and quite the workout moving in and out. The wildlife around Tamarron was cool, we saw a black bear twice. It lingered for quite a while digging in the mulch, there are also numerous turkeys, deer, and squirrels.VRC was super responsive and easy to deal with. We extended our stay on day and that was easily done.All in all a great experience.

Great property except there were 2 things that didn't work for me. This first is really a personal preference or issue. Both of the beds were incredibly firm. I mean firm. If that works for you, you are set. They were very uncomfortable for me. The second problem was the internet was almost non-existent and because of the mountains I do not get great service there. I have AT & T BTW. I reached out to the property management company which was hard to do without service. These was no fix. I often work while on vacation and this could have been a real pain. If you are good with these items then go for it.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 27, 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful and honest review. We’re glad to hear you found the property overall to be great, but we’re truly sorry that a couple of key aspects impacted your stay. We understand that mattress firmness is very personal, and we’re sorry the beds were not comfortable for your preference. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the internet connectivity—being in a mountainous area can unfortunately create service limitations, but we recognize how challenging that is, especially when working remotely. We’re sorry that support was difficult to reach in the moment and that no immediate solution was available during your stay. Your comments are very helpful and will be shared with our team as we continue to evaluate both comfort and connectivity for future improvements. We appreciate you staying with us and hope we might have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
