I wasn't sure what to expect; online pictures only tell you so much. The house exceeded my expectations. We arrived in the summer, and it was very hot, mid 90's, during the first week, and I was concerned whether the house would stay cool. The mini-split units in the bedrooms were more than sufficient to the task of keeping us cool, and even the central living room never really got hot, so that worked out great. We enjoyed the view of the mountain from the back porch, and found ourselves spending almost every meal out on the back porch, enjoying breeze and the mountain view. Kitchen was easy to use with the nice induction oven. Taking strolls around the pleasant small neighborhood was a nice activity as well. The owner was responsive to my questions and helpful regarding a couple of special requests I had. House highly recommended.

The property was so clean and it was so well stocked with everything we needed. The gas fire pit and the gas grill worked well for our needs. And above all the views off of the back deck are just amazing. Location, what can one say, the hot springs just down the street and the downtown area just minutes away along with wild to mild rafting so close.

Excellent property and location. The only issue was the lack of air conditioning (at least we couldn’t figure out the AC) which occurred during a late summer heat wave.

Thomas, I installed the mini splint AC units for just The situation you experienced… the rare occasion when Durango has a heat wave. I’m sorry you couldn’t figure out the remote control. I wish you had called me. For next time, set Mode to Cool and use up or down arrow to set desired temperature. Thanks, Mike

Wonderful home. We stayed 3 nights and attended our nieces' wedding. We were just minutes from the wedding venue. The house was very clean and well supplied. Lovely outdoor patio with a great fire pit. Peaceful and beautiful neighborhood. We had 5 adults and one 19 month old (with host permission) and the house was very roomy and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Mike is a great host. Thank you!

Great home!

The home was beautiful! The communication with the owner was excellent as they were extremely responsive. The pictures in the ad should be updated, however. As others have stated, the area is increasingly crowded, with the backyard patio of the nearest neighbor about 25 feet away, with new construction about 15 feet outside the master bedroom.

Clean, well-appointed home in a beautiful location

Mike's home is brand new, clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio and the open living space is airy yet cozy. Communication with Mike was outstanding. He is incredibly responsive and thoughtful. He had coffee, cream, delicious treats from PJs gourmet grocery store and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. (PJ's is across the highway from Mike's home.) Thanks for a great stay- we'll be back!

Clean and Homey!

Michael's property is brand new, incredibly clean, and perfect for three couples staying in Durango for an August wedding. One of the rooms does not have AC (which the listing specifies) but we didn't find that room to be too warm at all, even in middle-of-August! The Kitchen is stocked with a Mr. Coffee pot and has all the dishes and cooking supplies we needed to make breakfast. The laundry room was also stocked with Tide Pods so we were able to do Laundry. All of the instructions are included by the property owner in an easy-to-read manual and the host was responsive and accommodating! I searched pretty hard for the right property for our needs and we couldn't be happier with Michael's home! Plus all of the furnishings in the place are so fun and personal. I would not recommend staying here without a rental car or other vehicle.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location

It's the little things that count.

The home is very nice and comfortable. However many little things led us the 2 star rating. There is no cable or satellite for the tv's. While the listing does not say it has this, there was no misrepresentation, we believe access to network tv is very important. Streaming is fine but we really missed access to network only sports programming. Other little things that would have made our stay more pleasant: no hairdryer, only 1 hand towel in each bathroom, no tissues, no shower soap in 1 bathroom, no grill, fireplace didn't work, had to hunt for the welcome/instruction sheet (in utility room drawer), had to call for paper towels. We've stayed at many other VRBO rentals and have always been greeted by a welcome basket or welcome gift. Perhaps we've been spoiled but nothing like this awaited us in this home.

Terry, thank you very much for staying in my home. I am relatively new to VRBO, having recently moved for work. Please know that I have made numerous upgrades to address your comments: Guest binder with stay details, coffee bar with coffee/tea/sweeteners, hair dryers and multiple hand towels in each bathroom, soap/shampoo/conditioner provided. In addition, I am investigating how to add cable. I hope on your next trip to Durango you will return to enjoy these upgrades! Best regards, Mike

This house is probably one of the nicest, cleanest, well supplied, and comfortable VRBO accommodation we have ever rented. Our group felt very much at home and appreciated being able to relax and gather outside on the deck after a busy day of touring. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Durango area.

Great location and well appointed

Communications and directions were great. Michael responded promptly to any of our inquiries. Property is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access from the main highway. Property was spotless, well appointed and had most of the items one would need if cooking. Both bathrooms had double sinks and large counters. The stove was nice but read directions before using to reduce confusion of how to turn a burner on. Overall this is a great property for either a friends or family group.

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image

Since I like to ski, hike and mtn bike, I picked this area because it has endless trails!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this house because I love Durango and the San Juan mountains! This house is about 10 miles north of downtown and centrally located for access to Purgatory, Silverton, the Colorado Trail and the high passes. The home is well furnished, nicely decorated, very clean, comfortable, quiet, and private. I really enjoy sitting on the covered porch at the end of day.
