Amazing Views and Good Location
Great location near to Durango and Purgatory. Host is friendly and easy to get in touch with. She provides some hiking recommendations. We were here for hiking mainly but also enjoyed spending time on the deck looking out at the Animas valley. Trains passing by on a regular basis is a huge bonus.

Amazing stay in Durango!
Whistle run is an absolutely beautiful property managed by amazing hosts. The home is very clean and well supplied with everything you need and is in a perfect location for lots of activities. . The views are fantastic and the Durango to Silverton train running through the back is a real highlight. We feel very fortunate to have booked Whistle Run for our family vacation in Durango.

Carla and her husband were the most wonderful guests and are welcome back to Whistle Run anytime! I was fortunate enough to meet and get to know them personally and they are both such nice, pleasant and thoughtful people.
They took excellent care of our home, followed all of our House Rules, left our place spotless such that you'd never even have known that they'd been here and just really went above and beyond what was expected. We'd be honored to host them again and, of course, we highly recommend them to any host.

Station Yourself at Whistle Run
Whistle Run was the perfect property for our one month stay. Close enough to Durango in a forested private area. The front entry welcomes with potted flowers, the interior is homey, warm and very clean. Incredible views from the kitchen and decks. The 3 levels of backyard sitting areas are beautiful. The kitchen has every tool to prepare great meals. We reported an issue with the grill and the next morning a new grill was delivered. The owners are VERY responsive, welcoming and eager to accommodate guests! We highly recommend Whistle Run!

Best vacation ever
The house is absolutely beautiful and sparklingly clean. I loved the location, secluded but only 15 minutes from town. The Durango - Silverton Train passed by 6 times a day. My grandkids always ran outside to wave at the passengers. You could hardly hear the train from inside the house, but I found myself listening for it so I wouldn’t miss running out to wave. The kitchen is a cook’s dream. Every room had a view. My favorite part was sitting on the deck early each morning watching the birds and four magnificent bucks grazing in the yard. I did not want to leave. Charlotte and Marvin were great hosts. Very easy to reach via text. I had no problems with anything in the house.
