Wonderful Vacation Property

The property was great. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck by the river. It has a large kitchen with lots of space and all the amenities. The cabin is large, very nice and clean.

Nice Property!

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was a bit far from Durango for anyone looking to be closer to town. However, for our family it was perfect. We enjoyed being so close to Vallecito Lake, the creek in our backyard and the many stars you see at night.

Beautiful home ❤️

Our BFF-6 group takes a vacation together every year. This has by far been the best! Beautiful lake and rivers. Property manager was very informative. The house was a perfect fit and close enough to everything we wanted to do. I’m hope to be back someday, this was my first time in Colorado and it is breathtaking. Thank you again for a great vacation

Would stay again!

Great location for our activities. Nice spaces for all to gather especially the deck by river. Only negatives are not supplying enough basics like toilet paper and paper towels. No dishwasher soap. But, I blame that on their contracted cleaning crew who greeted us very rudely by yelling profanities even though we arrived after check-in time. But, here again, I would definitely stay again.

Mountain Treasure

I wish I could give 10 stars for this property and the hosts! We wanted a place to stay that was near a river and accessible to Durango. This home checked ALL the boxes and MORE! Check-in was easy. The house was very clean and the layout for our family was perfect with the master suite downstairs and three additional bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. Exactly as described in the listing. The kitchen was better equipped than my home! Seriously...EVERYTHING you could possibly need, including skewers for roasting hot dogs or marshmallows over the fire pit. The rest of the home was well equipped as well with plenty of towels and supplies. The beds were super comfortable as well. We felt welcomed as family upon our arrival. The kids had a blast and kept the adults busy chasing after them in the beautiful outdoors! The hosts communicated well without inundating us with messages, which was terribly refreshing! WE LOVE THIS PROPERTY and hope to return again!

Spacious home in beautiful surroundings

We are a family of seven adults and two dogs, we easily fit in this spacious home. The deck near the river is an amazing feature and we spent many relaxing moments there. Stargazing is great! There is a back deck and front deck and both are also great for relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We hiked nearby and a bit further afield, all of it easily reachable with a bit of driving. Checking in, it was helpful that there was someone else who did have cell phone reception, which I did not. We initially only had one key but thankfully Rick brought by another, as well as some supplies that were not there initially (little toilet paper, no dishwasher detergent, no laundry detergent, no dish soap). The home was reasonably clean, but it seemed that the cleaning had been abandoned halfway through. Something to be aware off, that we did not catch from the pictures and description: there are three bedrooms upstairs but two are connected as in, you have to walk through one to get to the other. This may not be a problem for your family but it was somewhat awkward for mine. The other bedroom has a mattress that is making quite a bit of noise with the slightest movement. Something else to be aware of is that we were happy we could bring dogs, but they are not allowed on the couches or beds. There were a lot of dogs off leash in the neighborhood.

This was a beautiful house with a deck overlooking the river. The house was large enough for 8 adults with a huge kitchen. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay immensely!
