Family Vacation

We had 14 total in our group. We stayed the last week of July. The space was perfect for our family! The chuck wagon Bar D Wranglers are so close we were practically neighbors! We enjoyed their show as well! We loved our time in Durango and this little home was the perfect end to the long days of adventuring.

Great house, great location. Everything was perfect.

We had a great time here. Both houses were very clean, well appointed, and in a great location. 10 min from downtown and on the way up to the slopes. Very secluded, can’t even see the neighbors! We had a group of 10 (adults/teens) and no problem with space. Had a couple bedrooms to spare even!

Awesome location! Beautiful and Spacious!

This was the best place that we have stayed on a ski trip. It is hard to find a place to accommodate 3 families that include 8 teenagers. It is spacious and has everything you need to cook meals, watch TV, play games, hike or just relax. The location is convenient for going to Durango and the ski resort. The layout of the house is perfect and very comfortable. We will be back this time next year!

Perfect location and roomy for large group!

This was our second year in this house! We love it and will return. Great location between Durango and Pugatory ski resort. There are three family all with 2-3 teenage kids that stay in the second house while the adults stay in the main house. It is clean and roomy with beautiful views. I watched a deer walking through 2 feet of snow outside the bathroom window while I soaked in the huge bathtub. Worth the drive from Texas!

About the host

Hosted by John Ryan

Host profile image
I am a 35 year Durango local. I feel I know the area very well and I know what guests are looking for when they come to Durango. I know who to rent ski/snowboard gear from. Discounts on ski/snowboard rentals available. Also group discount at Trimble Hot Springs and Rapp's Guide Service on horseback and sleigh rides. Who to raft with, horseback ride with and great golf spots. If you are looking for a casual dining spot or a nice dinner for you and you spouse I know where to go. I have traveled all over the country and you really cannot find a better spot than Durango.

Why they chose this property

The homes are really set up perfectly for a vacation. The gameroom is a perfect addition to house so there is plenty to do while relaxing at houses. The guest house is just perfect for the larger groups. And the location is the crowning jewel. No neighbors next door. Incredible views and short drive to town and to ski resort. HOMES CAN BE RENTED SEPERATLY
