Nice place, incredibly hot inside during day, there were a few dead mice. Good views from the deck and parents enjoyed the hot tub.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for the kind words about the deck views and hot tub, we're glad your parents enjoyed that part of the trip! We're truly sorry to hear about the mice you encountered. That's not the experience we want any guest to have, and we'll be reaching out to our pest control team right away so this doesn't happen again in the future. We also apologize for how hot it felt inside during the day. Unfortunately, your stay coincided with a heat wave that pushed temperatures in the mountains to unusually high levels, and we know that made things less comfortable than we'd like. We're looking at ways to help the property stay cooler even during extreme weather like this. Thank you again for your honest feedback, it genuinely helps us improve. We'd love the chance to host you again for a more comfortable stay.

Amazing Stay

Our family had an amazing stay. The house was very clean and perfectly set up for hanging out, cooking and enjoying the gorgeous views. We loved the deck and firepit. The location was great and felt very private but also not too far from downtown Durango and Silverton. We'd love to stay again in the future!

STUNNING!

Absolutely stunning property. We stayed just after they worked on some renovations, so looks slightly different than the photos when we booked. However, it is just a gorgeous property, definitely will book it again in the future. I think the only thing missing are curtains to the master bedroom, some blinds on windows and a hot tub for the patio. Perfect for your next trip to Durango though!

Perfect spot for a few days in the mountains

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at this property. We were there during ski season and it was incredible. I can only imagine how beautiful it is there in the summer time. The back deck has ridiculous mountain views with a lake down below. We were a 3 minute drive from the driveway to the chair lift. The house just feels great while you're there. The furniture is nice. Everything is clean and recently updated. The process for checking and checking out was seamless. I'll definitely be looking to go back in the summer. Thank you for a great experience!

We agree—the summer season is just as breathtaking, with endless opportunities to enjoy the lake and mountains in a whole new way! It was our pleasure to host you, and we’d love to welcome you back when the warmer weather rolls in. Thanks again for choosing our home for your getaway!

Perfect Mountain Escape!I spent a magical week here with my family of five (including our dog, who felt just as welcome as we did), and this property exceeded every expectation. Purgatory Resort is minutes away, making ski days effortless, and coming home to the hot tub after a long day on the slopes was pure bliss.The cabin feel of this home is something special. Warm, cozy, and decorated with excellent taste. It doesn't feel like a rental, but rather like someone's beloved mountain retreat, and every corner reflects that care. The space was spotless clean throughout our stay.Between ski days, we lost ourselves in the owner's wonderful vinyl collection, devoured books from the shelves, and played board games late into the evening (a real gift for a family looking to unplug and reconnect). We also made the most of the stunning deck views and enjoyed strolling around downtown Durango.Our host was an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, knowledgeable about the area and incredibly responsive whenever we had a question. It was a seamless experience from booking to checkout.If you're looking for a mountain property that delivers on every front, look no further. Five stars, no hesitation. Already looking to re-book.

Thank you so much for this incredible review, Carlos! We’re so grateful you chose to spend your family getaway with us, and it means the world to hear that your stay felt so special. We love knowing you made the most of everything, especially the vinyl collection, books, and game nights. And we’re so happy your dog felt right at home too! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we really appreciate your kind words about the care we put into the home and our communication throughout your stay. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!

Place was Quiet and Bea

I loved the deck and the views. I also loved the house itself. It was comfortable, the bed was great and it was well maintained and clean. With that said.... there were no instructions on how to work the TV. We assumed that it had cable and we didn't have to actually access our own provided. Plus the internet would not pick up and the TV so we had to reboot the system and log into our own provider (after calling for help). The Hot tub was inoperable and the garage barely fit our car, but we did get our car into it. The road going in is gravel but pretty well marinated so not a big problem. On check out we had to actually wash the towels, dispose of all our food that was left, run the dishwasher and take the garbage to the end of the road to dispose of it (but could not because there were no instruction that were provided that worked to unlock the bin). All and all if they changed a few things I would happily stay there again sometime.
