This property was wonderful! The house was great and we loved the creekside deck. This was the perfect place for our 37th anniversary. This house had everything that we needed for our stay and we appreciate that. We enjoyed seeing some wildlife and listening to the creek at night.The location to Vallecito Lake was great, we were able to do some fishing and hiking while we were there.We gave a 4 on the description of the property only because it seemed like it was more remote than it really was (houses all around).Only a few minor cons:- fine to start laundry such as towels but to expect them to also be put in the dryer was a little frustrating as we had to plan our departure around this.- suggest a floor mat for the shower and maybe a few hooks to hang up towels.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so happy you chose to celebrate your 37th anniversary with us and that you enjoyed the peaceful creekside setting, the wildlife, and the convenient location for fishing and hiking at Vallecito Lake. We also appreciate your suggestions. To clarify, we simply ask guests, if they have the time, to start a load of towels before departure to help our housekeeping team. This is appreciated but is never required, and we certainly don't expect guests to delay their departure to do so. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding a shower mat and additional towel hooks, and we'll be happy to share those with the owners for consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another stay!

THIS POOR REVIEW IS NOT FOR THE PROPERTY – it’s for Durango Red Cliff Properties, the property management company. We give the property 5 stars! It is beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable.The Property Managers did not properly prepare this rental for guests. There were supplies and amenities missing, there were broken items, and their communication was lacking. (Which we found was a common theme when researching this company.) However, the reason for the bad review is because of RCP’s lack of vetting, inventory, and preparation for guests – specifically SERIOUS SAFETY VIOLATIONS. They were also unwilling to admit the deficit or compromise on a refund we considered fair and reasonable. Although they manage numerous properties in the area, we will not rent a property they manage again because of concern for our safety. For property owners out there who use RCP, we’d highly recommend they follow up and make sure they aren’t placing you in a serious liability situation.Although our complaint remains unresolved, we believe the safety issues we had with this property have been corrected. Hopefully future renters will be safe.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 May 2026
Regarding your review, we are disappointed by the characterization of our company. At no point were there any safety violations at the property. When a smoke detector battery started beeping shortly after your arrival, our team responded immediately to address it sending out maintenance shortly after your call. The home had properly installed and functioning smoke detectors, and unfortunately batteries can fail without warning despite routine inspection and preparation. We also disagree with the comments regarding communication and missing amenities. Our team responded promptly to calls and messages throughout your stay, including late evening communication, and worked to address every concern brought to our attention. No amenities were missing from the property; the only overlooked item was a kitchen sponge, for which we reimbursed you $25 for the inconvenience. Although the detector issue only took less than 2 hours to be fully resolved, we still provided a full night’s refund as a gesture of goodwill. While we are sorry you did not feel that was fair, we also did not feel that a request for a full refund of all four nights was reasonable for an issue that was promptly addressed and resolved. We would also note that the statement regarding our company reputation does not reflect the experience of the vast majority of our guests and homeowners. We have earned hundreds of 5-star reviews across our properties and have built a strong reputation in the Durango area through responsive service and professional management. While we understand the battery issue was frustrating, we do not believe a promptly resolved maintenance issue justifies describing our company as unsafe or negligent. We take guest safety and property care very seriously and stand behind the service we provide to both guests and homeowners. We appreciate feedback, but we also believe reviews should accurately reflect the facts of the situation.
