Our family enjoyed this spot due to its location! Every activity we planned was within close proximity to our rental. Nice and quiet place to enjoy the wide life and to watch the golfers! The kids enjoyed the indoor and the outdoor pools as well at the hot tub! The grill food was excellent! Staff were very friendly! Grounds very well maintained! Overall our family had an awesome vacation!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your family enjoyed the convenient location and the peaceful environment. It's great to know the kids loved both the indoor and outdoor pools, as well as the hot tub. We're glad you had excellent meals with the grill and found our staff friendly and the grounds well-maintained. We're delighted that your family had an awesome vacation, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
We had to change our original vacation plans quickly due to COVID & flying from AZ. We booked this 3 days prior to arriving and it was such a great backup plan! Easy drive from Denver (for 1 family member) and from AZ. It exceeded our expectations from the start. Staff very accommodating and we have a terrific stay!
It’s was perfect, matched the subscription perfectly.

We really enjoyed the location. Perfectly situated between the city of Durango and Purgatory ski resort. The condo also delivered the amenities of a resort but the feel of a private home.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are glad you enjoyed the condo and the surrounding area :) Your feedback is very useful for future guests who may also need to know about the stairs. We do only provide a starter pack of supplies as stated in our house manual and the small coffee packet is to help tide guests over who get in late and have not had the chance to go to the store until the next day. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope you choose to stay with us again for your next visit to the area!

I love this place, everything was pretty nice and as shown in the pictures. The only thing that was a problema was that 2 people cannot get in the shower at the same time, cause the hot water is not enough. Despite that, we have a great time.

The condo was great with the exception of ants on the bottom floor. I'm sure if we had contacted management, they would have sprayed however we did not want to remove our items and children were in our group. Other than the ants, the stay was great

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback! We're really happy to hear you had an enjoyable stay. I apologize that there were some ants upon your arrival - you are absolutely correct that if you let us know we are happy to spray and and bring you some ant repellant to help resolve the issue. We will take care of it so we appreciate you letting us know! It was a pleasure to host you and we hope you stay with Premier Vacation Rentals again for your next visit to the area :)
The condo was perfect gor our family of 11. Conditions were great for snow activities . we enjoyed Bowl games, Food and Family time. Despite calls the Dish kept going off and was frustrating. we had checked to see if kitchen had items to cook yet no measuring cups or spoons and no pie pans . we did not find a first aid kit
Our family had an amazing time! The property was clean and the kitchen stocked. The only odd thing was, there were clothes hanging in one of the closets. It seemed like new clothes. As if the person who rented the house before us went shopping and left their new clothes there. Not sure how that was missed. Makes me wonder what gets cleaned, or checked. Anyway, it was quiet and right on the golf course, which my dad LOVED! It was a bit of a drive to Durango, but not too bad. We stopped twice at Honeyville. Must see in my opinion.

The check in process was simple and straightforward. However, when we arrived at the property the Murphy and the sofa bed had dirty sheets and no pillows. We were able to find clean bed linens and changed our self. Several of the upstairs bathrooms had outlets that didn’t work. Maintenance was prompt to make repairs. My biggest complaint is that the property it self did not have a washer and dryer. It needs to be stated that you have to pay extra to do your laundry.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad you found the check-in process easy and appreciated our prompt maintenance service. We apologize for the oversight with the bed linens and the inconvenience with the bathroom outlets. We will ensure that our listing clearly states the availability and cost of laundry services. Your comments are valuable in helping us improve our guests' experience.
The condo is 2 combined units making for lots of space. The location is about 20 minutes from Durango and maybe 10 from purgatory. It’s very quiet and safe. The pool at the lodge is nice. Down sides: it’s dark when the sun goes down. More lighting, especially in the the suite would help. The quality of furnishings, towels, supplies are good, not great but they do a good job of providing what is needed. The view out the kitchen is grass due to the angle of the course. Positive: it has lots of room, quiet, easy check in with hotel amenities down the road a bit, able to play golf (kids are free), no big issues with the condo.

We appreciate the suggestions and will take a look at the lighting situation and supplement as needed :) It was a pleasure to host you and we hope you come stay with us again soon!
The property is awesome. Very up to date with graninite countertops and new fixtures and appliances. The only complaint was the drapes need to be updated. We could not pull the drapes closed and when the sun comes up at 5:30 am is dose everyone in the room.
The property is large and overall very nice. We thought the cleanliness could have been better and there is an ant infestation which was very off putting.

We had a great time staying in this condo at Tamarron! It met our needs and gave us plenty of space. Plus, Tamarron is simply beautiful! Many fun activities in the surrounding area kept the kids busy. We had to schedule the pool because of the COVID restrictions, but when we had it it was nice break. A dream vacation for sure!
