It was a great property, enjoyed the views and being right on the river. It definitely felt like a rustic cabin getaway.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Koren! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the home, the spacious kitchen, and especially the river access. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing getaway!
This place was a dream! We cannot wait to return! Perfect for families, this place has everything. We caught rainbow trout in the river just down the path from the house, enjoyed the hot tub at night, and sat out on the patio in the morning to enjoy our coffee and listen to the river.

It makes us so happy to know it was a great fit for your family. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We loved our stay here. We will definitely come back. It was a perfect place for two families with children. Enough room for all the spread out and for the kids to play. We enjoyed baking cookies and cooking meals in the very well equipped kitchen. The kids had a blast sledding in the back yard. House was clean comfortable and cozy. We were a little disappointed that the play structure wasn’t there anymore, but the kids still had fun!

Thank you for choosing our home for your special trip! We're so glad you enjoyed the views and found the kitchen well-equipped. It’s an honor to be a part of such meaningful family memories. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
The home is great and has so many places to kick back by yourself with a book and a view or join the crowd for meals and games. The river is accessible and can be fished, though with the flow rates during our stay in May, not an ideal fishing spot. The sound of the water from the deck is calming. The kitchen is gorgeous and stocked well if your plan is to cook onsite.

Peaceful Family Getaway
This place is as advertised, we enjoyed a peaceful snowy weekend. We loved everything about this place, the only improvements we could ask for would be a lighted property to come to as it was dark when we got there due to bad weather.
Great location, just as described in the listing and great views all throughout the property. Kitchen is very well stocked and has all your cooking supplies and seasoning. Easy and close drive to downtown Durango. Really a fantastic property and house. You will not be disappointed and I would definitely book here again.

It’s wonderful to know that the property met your expectations and that you found the drive to downtown Durango convenient. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to hosting you again in the future!
The location was beautiful, but for the price, we hoped the outdoor space would have been better maintained with more comfortable seating to have been able to maximize the lovely surroundings.
Very clean and spacious for our family of 7. Kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of extras. Very peaceful with beautiful surroundings. Morning coffee on the deck was a plus while listening to the river flow (Animas River)

Morning coffee on the deck by the Animas River sounds perfect. We hope to welcome you back soon!
This property is just a few miles out of Durango in a very quiet neighborhood. It’s beautifully decorated and has everything we needed. Communication with the property manager was smooth. Loved sitting on the deck listening to the river. Would love to return.

Thanks for the great review and for being such a great guest Terri! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the home and the peaceful atmosphere it provides. Come back soon!
We loved the house and was very comfortable for our family of 4. The living area in the basement was perfect for us to all lounge out when watching movies/shows. The master suite had it’s own private balcony which was nice right on the river. The kitchen and outside patio with grill had everything we needed for a wonderful home cooked meal. We really loved our Durango stay!

Overall great property, well appointed and close to the river. It was in need of some upkeep and the check-in needed to be updated. Reached out to the property management team vacationdurango.com, they listened and said they would remedy.

Hi Ellis, thank you for your feedback. We’re always happy to address small maintenance issues like light bulbs or a garage remote, and we wish you had reached out during your stay so we could have resolved them right away. While we appreciate your input, we don’t feel these minor fixes reflect the overall quality of the home or warrant a 2-star review. We’ll be sure to take care of these details promptly for future guests.
