Beautiful view, very peaceful, enjoyed sitting out and watching wildlife. House was very clean, kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. Beds were okay, keep in mind I like my bed very firm, all of the beds were a little more towards the soft side. I would highly recommend this place.

Wonderful home to get away from it all! Quiet, clean, and secluded. The deer visited us everyday in the front yard! Sometimes twice a day! Very relaxing time despite the inclement weather. Beautiful views out of every window! The host was fantastic! Very helpful. We will be back!!

Really nice home. A couple of things could be improved upon. The heat did not work, there was no soap to bath with other that the Soft soap at the sink. Could us some sort of water conditioner, so difficult to get shampoo/conditioner out of our hair and soap off body. And a TV in the main room would be so nice to relax with friends. Otherwise a very nice house, surroundings and location.

Secluded Country Getaway

Super cute house in the country with the best view of the mountains. My family loved our stay here and it was a short 15 min drive to Durango. Highly recommend staying here and the host was quick with any questions i had before our stay. No issues during our stay and i would 100% stay here again. Perfect if you prefer the country to staying in town and are looking for breathtaking views.

Peaceful getaway with stunning view

My family and loved the ranch. The privacy and peace were heavenly. We loved sitting on the patio each morning and evening to enjoy the mountain vista and commune with the two horses in the pasture. The house is spacious, immaculate and warmly decorated. It’s a piece is southwest comfort.

Sunset Ranch vacation

Two of my friends and I spent 4 nights at this beautiful ranch house. Check in was easy and the house was lovely. Before our visit the host was very friendly and helpful when I would message her with a question and responded quickly. The view from the porch is beautiful and relaxing. Although the drive from Durango is approximately 20 minutes, after a long day of activities it was a pleasure to arrive back at the house nestled on a private acreage and enjoy the scenery and peace and quiet. I would definitely stay there again.

Peaceful

We loved it here. The Dogs loved all the space. It was really nice being able to just let them relax and enjoy the outdoors without having to worry about them barking or bugging others around. They already get stressed traveling and having it away from the road and out on its own was so nice for the to walk and explore. Really enjoyed the house and the owner's were great with communication.

AMAZING Rental House!!!

This place FAR exceeded our expectations. It's a short drive to Durango but well worth the drive. The home is so cozy, and the views are incredible. Everything was so clean and comfortable. We loved our time there and have already started talking about our next trip. The check in was the easiest I've ever experienced and communication with the owner was nearly instant. The pictures do not do this place justice.

Greatest place ever!

We decided to rent this beautiful home after we sold our house. The property is magnificent, clean, secluded (yet 20 min from Durango) and has everything a family needs. There is a big field where we flew our kites, we took walks on the land, our dogs and 7 year old daughter loved it! This is exactly what we needed to refuel and relax. The owner is wonderful and worked with us when we needed to extend our stay due to a longer wait (our camper wasn't ready). Highly recommended, this exceeded our expectations.

Nice, but...

Overall, this property was very nice. Only window A/C units- 2 of which were in bedrooms with doors closed at night leaves only 1 window unit to cool the entire house. That wasn't enough.The main part of the house, the family room area and dining room, had huge windows on both sides of the house with no blinds or curtains. We thought it was no big deal because you are in the middle of nowhere with no close neighbors...but several times during our stay a black and a white pick-up truck appeared in front of the house. Never saw people, but it was creepy. Especially when you can see into previously mentioned windows because there is no way to ensure privacy. We were very disturbed.

Scenic, beautiful and relaxing

The home is beautiful, the view of the mountains is exceptional. We had all we needed in terms of kitchen equipment, towels etc. The hosts are fast and easy to communicate with, they got back to me quickly with a solution when I thought I had misplaced the house key. (Thankfully, it had just slipped under the driver's seat.) The home is not far from Durango and a reasonable drive to Mesa Verde NP. It is a bit difficult to find in the dark, so I would suggest arriving during daylight hours

Perfect getaway

Very nice property with all brand new appliances. The pictures of the place do not do justice to the space of the house. Our 2 little ones could finally get their wiggles out, inside and outside of the house. You can get lost on the property, 35 acres is a big chunk of land. Feels like the middle of nowhere, but after 15 min of beautiful back highway driving you make a left turn and magically end up in the heart of durango. Very clean and very well thought out, there is obviously a lot of thought and care put into this place. Great home away from home!
