About this property

Beautiful Views, Private Road, Close to Hot Spring!

Vista Views is the perfect getaway for a peaceful family vacation. The warm, modern, and newly updated home has plenty of space for both family activities and privacy. It is conveniently located only 15 minutes north of historic downtown Durango and 20 minutes south of Purgatory Ski Resort. Located on a private street, the home is nestled among tall pine trees with amazing views of the red cliffs, and bordering National Forest almost guarantees you the chance of seeing the abundant wildlife in the area. The Spring months bring the relaxing sounds of the creek running on the property.

Once inside, you'll be welcomed by the open, single level floor plan. The kitchen is a cooks delight with plenty of counter space, pantry, and all new appliances! The adjacent dining room has a large dining table with enough seating for eight and the sliding glass door allows easy access to the deck and convenient location of the BBQ grill. The living room has a comfy, oversized couch and a 2-sided wood burning fireplace. Down the hallway you will find all three bedrooms. The kids' room has 3 twin beds (one is a bunkbed) and TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed and wall mounted TV. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, TV, and en-suite bathroom. For your convenience, there is a laundry room complete with washer/dryer located inside just off the oversized 2 car garage.

Heaven in Hermosa!

This is our 3rd consecutive year staying at Vista Views in Hermosa w/ Durango Colorado Vacations. It's always ideal for our group. You feel like you're a bit isolated w/ plenty of room to take relaxing walks … and yet you're close to both Durango & Purgatory. There are two living areas, a large kitchen & dining area. We usually have 13-15 in our family group and, though each family rents their own home, they usually gather at Vista Views w/ us for meals & visiting. And… Durango Colorado Vacations is absolutely the best to work with! They have the most efficient process to rent, check in & check out that I've ever worked with. We look forward to this every year!!

Would stay here again

As we have aged it seems that it is getting harder to find a rental in the area that is one story. We enjoyed the location and the house was perfect fir us. The wild turkey visits were fun to watch. We would love to stay here next fall.

Dirt bike escape

We have been going to Durango for 3 years to ride dirt bikes in the mountains. This place was great because there was plenty of room for sleeping and dinners but having access to the garage to store the bikes at night was awesome. Everything worked at the house and it had all the necessary equipment to make breakfast for 5 guys before we headed ride. We would stay there again. Enjoy.

Great Stay

We enjoyed staying here. Very nice place with a secluded feel and the location was great. Our favorite thing about the place (since we had our toddler with us) was the single floor layout and the easy access (no steps to enter or steep drop offs around the property). It made for a relaxing trip and we would stay here again.

Great Views, Warm Home

We have stayed in this wonderful home multiple times. It has excellent views, fireplace with a lot of unexpected features. For example it has heaters on the deck for those crisp mornings when you want to enjoy your coffee on the deck.

Relaxing Fall Stay

We couldn't have picked a better place to stay and see all the lovely fall colors! The home was well appointed and true to the advertising! My husband, two dogs and myself enjoyed this home as an awesome base camp to all that Durango offers. It was peaceful and we would highly recommend staying here!

San Juan Mountain Home

This was a very special return to the Durango area for me after almost 50 years since attending Ft Lewis College. We looked for a property convenient to Durango and to the spectacularly scenic San Juan Mountains for day excursions, while also offering a peaceful and comfortable setting at days end. All reviews for this property stressed the beautiful views from the back deck and I can only add how much we enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck watching the sun rise over the Animas River Valley and disappear over the western mountains at night. The small gated community ensures privacy and peaceful quiet. The house was beautifully appointed with all possible conveniences. The very comfortable beds and cool quiet mountain air made for very restful nights. We took full advantage of all the outdoor adventures offered in this unforgettable region of Colorado: hiking, biking, high mountain basin jeep tour, driving the scenic Million Dollar Highway to Silverton and Ouray (or save the driving and take the Durango-Silverton Train). The aspen leaves were just starting their annual turn to brilliant yellow, a sight you can't soon forget. This house is your perfect base camp for an amazing trip to this region. For skiers, it's less than 30 minutes to the Purgatory Ski area. For spa enthusiasts, the Durango Hot Springs spa less than a mile down the road is not to be missed. The guest book in the house will lead you to other special treats in the area. We can't wait to return.

Breathtaking Vista Views!

We stayed at gorgeous “Vista Views” over the 4th of July weekend (2021). The Mountain view from the wrap around deck with a grill were stunningly beautiful! Large windows allowed us to see the mountains all along the back of the house. The master bedroom is very large & comfortable with a fabulous on-suite bathroom. The shower in the master bath was incredibly refreshing with multiple shower heads, sure to relax anyone after a long day exploring Durango or any of the surrounding areas. The other two bedrooms are spacious & comfortable, as well. The kitchen is well-stocked for any cooking needs, and there are a couple of dining options either inside or outside. The washer & dryer are state-of-the-art & huge, making laundry quick & easy. Overall, we can't say enough about the comfort & beauty of “Vista Views”. It is a fantastic retreat in a beautiful setting-you may even see deer or wild turkeys in the yard!

Excellent Home A+++++

This is a wonderful home. Centrally located between downtown Durango and Ski Purgatory. Beautiful location backing up to the national forest- we saw deer, turkey, squirrels, and lots of birds from the back porch each day!! You might be worried that a home, located in such a place would be hard to get to, but the private drive up to the home was perfectly maintained and the snow was plowed every day (and my family stayed in March 2023 when over 2 feet of snow fell during our 5-night stay). The home is clean and in very good repair. There are also floor fans for every bedroom for those of you (like me and my family) that sleep with white noise. The kitchen is nicely stocked with cookware, coffeemakers, cooking utensils, basic spices, etc. literally the only bad thing I can say is that the water dispenser from the refrigerator lets out water very slowly, but that is my only complaint. This is a VERY nice home on a BEAUTIFUL lot, and it feels very homey and is very comfortable and perfectly located for skiers. I will definitely be back!!!

Excellent property!

We loved this property. The setting is beautiful and it’s in a great location. The house was clean and we really liked the layout. We were celebrating my sister’s birthday and the house was perfect for our family - 3 of my sisters, sister’s boyfriend and my niece. We were very happy with this house and would recommend it without hesitation!

Peaceful oasis

We enjoyed our stay at Vista Views. We went to celebrate my daughters birthday. We also brought along our 2 dogs and they seemed to adjust very well after the first night. The home is very comfortable and inviting. We got to see tons of Turkeys, and a few squirrels. Durango downtown is about a 10-15 minute drive. We will definitely be back!
