Wonderful farmhouse!
A perfect place to stay and explore the Durango area! Wonderful farmhouse close to downtown Durango that can be used as a home base to see Mesa Verde and all the other places to visit in the area. We loved hearing the Durango/Silverton train whistle echo across the property and the wild turkeys that came though most mornings. Magical place!

Best Part of Our Visit
Very nice home. We loved having the fireplace in the living room for a couple of rainy days and chilly evenings. The location was perfect for viewing deer, turkeys and the occasional fox.

Beautiful property
Its a beautiful area and the owner was right on top of responding to my messages. The only thing that i am bummed about was we drove 19 hrs and were counting on the hot tub to relax in only to get there and see a sign that said "Hot tub out of commission." The house was clean and nicely decorated and no complaints there accept we did have to wash the dishes before we could use them. Not sure if they had been in dishwasher and didn't get ran and put away mistakenly. Anyway, all in all it was a nice place with beautiful scenery.

“A charming Victorian farmhouse” it is, and wonderfully so.
The farmhouse is all we hoped for, and the setting is beautiful in the most Southwesternly way possible, looking out on the Animas River Valley with its Colorado-red cliffs and open-to-the-universe skies. The host is near enough to be honestly attentive to all we needed.

Victorian Farmhouse
The setting was beautiful. The king bed was very comfortable. It was a little warm, but I knew before hand there was no air conditioning. It was very Victorian, quaint decorations and lots of decorative pillows :). I had my dog with me, coming from Phoenix she loved the grass!! It was a perfect starting point to everything we wanted to do.

Great Alternative to Staying in a Hotel
Comfortable, rustic farmhouse that is conveniently located minutes from downtown Durango. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the decor is quaint. The only con was that when the windows were opened in the evenings to cool the house down there was road noise. This would not be an issue in cooler or winter months.

Country Cottage
This is an old home with funky additions and creaky leaning floors but surprisingly clean and neatly updated. We were very comfortable there, having plenty of room to put away our stuff, and stock the kitchen for our week stay. I was concerned that an old house like that would have cold bedrooms when temps dipped near zero but the heater kept up fine. The gas fireplace in the front room throws out a lot of heat making for a cozy evening there. The kitchen was outfitted with most any dish, utensil and appliance you could want, so fixing meals was just like at home. There was basic satellite TV, and decent wifi we were able to stream some shows with a chromecast I brought along. Access to Durango is an easy drive along the county road where the house is located. During the snowstorm while we were there I noted that the road was cleared and sanded promptly, as well as the home's driveway so no concerns of being stuck there. Traffic in front of the house is light and can't be readily heard inside. This home checked all the boxes for us and for a quiet stay I would highly recommend it.

Excellent Experience in Durango
The house is charm and the decoration is quite unique. My family and I spent very good time during 2022 Dec holidays. Great hub for Ski and other outdoor activities. Kids spent good time outdoor in the same property sliding and making snowman. The kitchen is very comfortable and have all tools available, bathroom is big and comfortable too. Mrs. Lana, the manager, is outstanding taking care you experience real vacation time... she even goes and take care of the trash can logistic and others. Highly recommended.

A lovely, peaceful place to stay
The farmhouse is a lovely, quaint property located below the Hermosa cliffs in the Animas river valley. We were very comfortable and had a lovely time. The owner/hostess was very helpful and nice and we intend on returning here in the future.

Peaceful, Relaxing and Safe
This was the first time my wife and I booked a property thru VRBO. The house was exactly as described, and to my delight they even had coffee (and tea) and 2 propane cylinders for our use. I had not expected that, so we brought some from home. It's an old house that has had many additions/changes over the years - I really would have enjoyed seeing pictures of the house thru the years, I'm sure there is a lot of history there. The hot tub was fantastic, and honestly it's the reason I selected this particular property in the first place. The best part though, is the gas stove in the living room. I've been trying to tell my wife that they are so much better than traditional fireplaces, but she refused to be convinced. Well, she's a believer now, lol. If we ever return to Durango or the surrounding area, we will almost certainly book this house again or one of their other properties.

Perfect stay
House and grounds perfect for us. Private setting, great stars at night, wonderful wildlife to see in yard - including deer, foxes, blue jays and doves. Well equipped kitchen. House is on an attractive country road just 2 miles from Durango city limit with beautiful mountain views in just about every direction. Owner was pleasant and helpful in email and telephone communications. Owner provided information for WiFi, cable and home systems was complete and easy to understand. We look forward to returning in the future!

Nice vacation property
We spent two weeks at this lovely house and property. The lot was enticing: large, shaded, with a grill and hot tub nearby. It was a nice environment in which to relax. We kept the house cool by keeping windows open overnight and placing a fan in the main living room window. The kitchen floor could benefit from an upgrade, but otherwise, the house met our needs. I’d love to own property in this part of the Durango area. It’s close to town without being in it

Great stay at the farmhouse
The farmhouse was great for us and our 2 dogs. We have been going to Durango for 18 years and this was our 1st time to stay on County Road 250. The location was great for easily getting to town. We were able to softly hear the Durango/Silverton train horn everyday, echoing through the valley. Our dogs loved the big property. We enjoyed seeing the deer in the early mornings as well. There are so many road bikers on CR 250 at all times of the day. Very neat, but you need to be careful when pulling out of the property. CR 250 is a convenient way to travel, North or South (not very much traffic). We enjoyed spending our time on the property gazing up at the mountains. It was peaceful and the views were fantastic.

Our week at the farmhouse
We enjoyed the property and it’s quiet, private location. It would have been helpful if there was a screen door on the front door so we could leave it open without all the flying insects coming in. Even though there was no air conditioning, we were comfortable with the windows open and the fans running. We couldn’t get the floor lamp to work in the living room which would have softened the lighting a bit. Overall, an excellent experience!

Perfectly cozy home!!
This property exceeded our expectations!! Our family of four, plus our dog had the best winter getaway. Lana the owner is super responsive and was extremely helpful in making sure these Texans could safely navigate our way out of a snowstorm! We have stayed in so many rentals over the years and this literally is the first one that was so well stocked on things like toilet paper, trash bags, laundry detergent, coffee filters, etc.... they even had dog treats for their furry guests. We highly recommend.
