Just wonderful. The pond provided hours of wildlife, turkeys, deer even a fox. Home was spacious and kitchen well stocked. We will stay there again if opportunity arises!
Our family had a great time in Colorado. The kitchen/living area was a great place to get together and the house was large enough for everyone to have alone time too! The hosts were very responsive when we had a small issue with the internet.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! We would be happy to host you in the future if your travels take you to Durango.
We had a wonderful family Thanksgiving at this house. Beautiful house, great location, perfect amenities (including well stocked kitchen supplies!) Gail was so helpful and responsive when there were some hiccups with the internet. Would love to stay here again in the future!
This was the perfect house for our post Christmas get away. We had 4 couples and three kiddos with us during our stay and we had more than enough room for everyone to be comfortable
We enjoyed our recent stay in this spacious and well-appointed home. It was the perfect arrangement for our multi-generational family of 10. The teens really appreciated having a separate space of their own! The setting was beautiful and it was convenient to Durango and other places we wanted to visit. The kitchen was fabulous and large enough to accommodate multiple cooks. We especially enjoyed watching the wildlife, including a family of wild turkeys that visited every morning.

The house is in a good location from town and has a big open floorplan with lots of space. Host are very nice and answered all our questions. Internet was tough at first but got it figured out. What we were disappointed in was the house has some remodeling going on and the floors were so dirty and dusty. The dust is so bad it was everywhere and on everything. We had a few toddlers and their clothes and socks stayed filthy from the floors. Hopefully they can fix that soon and get everything clean.
Our daughter’s wedding was a destination to Durango, and this home was the most perfect space to prepare and celebrate close to their wedding venue at Engineer Meadows. The hosts were supportive and attentive with each question we had and responded quickly which brought ease to the busy days leading up to the wedding. From flower arranging to wedding morning preparations to a post-wedding brunch site for our family and guests, this site was functional and beautiful. All the baking and cookware needed was on hand, the rooms are spacious, and the downstairs retreat was comfy and cozy for our littles to play and explore.For added awe to this past week, we saw deer in the front or back yards each day and at night the living area windows perfectly framed the gorgeous night sky twinkling stars and all. We were beyond thankful for being able to stay in this home for the week!
