Large 3K sq ft, 5 bedroom cabin in the mountains has all the comforts of home.

Great property with lots of space. Very quiet.

This is a very nice clean, well equipped property. It served a large group well with 3000 sq ft.

This house is located midway between Durango and Silverton (25 miles from town center each). Each of the 5 bedrooms has a comfortable queen bed. The 3 upstairs bedrooms (1 & 1/2 baths) were used by one family unit and the main floor 2 bedrooms (1 bath) by another family unit. There were only 6 of us but the house could hold several more folks comfortably.

The kitchen was as nice as my home kitchen and had 2 coffee pots so we had decaf and regular coffee each morning. We had an electric griddle for pancakes, a tea pot and many choices for dishes. The toaster was used daily. The walk in pantry had an abundance of staples and contained the washer and dryer. I was impressed with the variety of supplies available-washing machine detergent, softener sheets, extra trash bags, plenty of toilet paper for the 2 and 1/2 baths.

The house seemed well loved by its owner. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were terrible outside so we didn't use the lovely outdoor space much. Some of the screens didn't fit quite right so we made sure to use the doors and windows with tight fits for ventilation. This house does not have (or need) air conditioning. We were comfortable airing the house out overnight and closing the doors and windows during the day.

The home is on a narrow dirt road with very little traffic. Children would be safe outside. The home feels very secure. The pond is a 5 minute walk. Beaver live there.

I would definitely go back. Thanks to the owners-you provided well for us.

The locations was great for hiking (one 5.5 mile trail behind Needles Store 1.5 miles away and many others within 20 minutes), visiting Mesa Verde (65 minutes), Durango Silverton Train in Durango (35 minutes), Silverton (50 minutes due to mountain roads), Bar D Chuckwagon (ok but wouldn't repeat) and the Strater Theatre (very good).

We met neighbors while walking. Nice folks.

We stayed over Presidents' Day weekend and had a great time. The house is perfect for a larger group. Just minutes from the ski area and close enough to town. Loved the hot tub. Great home in a beautiful area. Very private.

We stayed during Thanksgiving week. It had snowed the day before our arrival, and we ended up having a white Thanksgiving since the daytime temps hovered around 32°. The two car garage is huge, and I was thankful to be able to keep my car out of the elements. There was plenty of chopped firewood, which was located in the garage, and the heater for the house worked well. I cooked our Thanksgiving meal without any issues, since everything I could possibly need was on hand. Just remember to adjust baking temps for higher altitude, since this property is at 8800+ ft! Since it had snowed, the road had been plowed, but you'd definitely need a four wheel drive vehicle as winter progresses. We witnessed a vehicle being towed because they only had front wheel drive and couldn't make it up the road. There is also a huge hot tub, probably room for 6. It overlooks the back of the property, which has no backyard neighbors. It was a perfect rental to have a family gathering, and we'd definitely stay again!
