Perfect Vacation Getaway in Scenic Durango Hills

Our family (consisting of 2 parents, 3 kids, ages 13-21 and 2 dogs) loved our stay here. The size was perfect but there’s definitely room for more, the location was secluded but also a short drive to town.

Pros:

-The design and decor of the house is so cool; notice the railings on the main floor being made of old glass/business front doors.

- The house is clean, I felt very comfortable making ourselves at home right away.

- Spacious; there is room for everyone.

- Secluded enough that dogs can roam a bit and be dogs. We were lucky that our dogs didn’t roam too far or get into trouble, we put glow sticks around their necks when they had to go out at night.

- Kitchen is well equipped with what you need to make meals and have morning coffee but bring your own ingredients/spices/sugar/food.

- The heater in the master bath is awesome, makes it more comfortable getting out of the shower.

- The tree house is very cute and zip line is fun (even for adults).

- Jeremy is a very responsive and amenable host.

Cons:

- It could be a pain, going back up and down the bumpy hill if you plan to go into town often.

- Spotty internet and WiFi, which could be a problem if you have work to do or want to watch a movie on the projector or your own laptop. We got around that by using one of our phones as a hotspot.

- We had an issue with low water pressure, or water not being available at all at various times. I’m not sure if that’s just how it is with wells but Jeremy was made aware and looked into it to make sure there wasn’t a larger problem for the next guests. We just made sure to take quick showers and not leave the water running while washing dishes and not to use water from different faucets/toilets concurrently.

Word of caution: apparently GPS may take you on an “off roading” route to get to the house; my 16 and 21 year old had quite an adventure coming up the wrong way and one of them had to get out to “move boulders” and almost “tipped the car”. Looking at the house, they came from the left, we came from the right and never went that way, so I have no idea what they did. 😂

My family of three adults and three kids had a wonderful time in the Durango Hills. The cabin is very spacious and nestled in the woods. The kids saw Wild turkeys and a Marmot from the deck. We had fun mountain biking on the bike trails right off the property and skiing at Purgatory Resort. The movie room with the big screen was a hit with the whole family. The owner was very helpful with any questions we had. We recommend this property to anyone who loves the outdoors!

We couldn't have enjoyed our time any more than we did. House is nestled in the hills and was an absolute winter wonderland! Got to sled and snowshoe around the neighborhood. House easily accommodated 4 adults and 2 kids. If in winter definitely need snow driving ability, snow tires, chains, etc. Street goes straight uphill. Host is fantastic and made sure to check in with us and had great local suggestions on resources. Already trying to plan a trip back.

From the moment our family arrived at Jeremy's lovely cabin, we felt home. The house is well appointed with gorgeous views in every direction. Jeremy was available and responsive to any questions we had. The movie projector was great for the kiddos! We would recommend this home to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Durango.

My wife and I and our three children had a great time in the Durango Hills. The property was spacious and clean. The property had plenty of space for the kids to explore. The tree house and zip line were a huge hit with the kids. Jeremy was very responsive to any questions we had. He was a great host! We would recommend the property to families with kids for sure.
