Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great experience!! The two homes worked great for our family with the smaller home doubling as a hangout for our older grandkids. Lots of room to roam on the property as well. Cooked out Smores one evening! Very secluded.

Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad the two homes worked well for your family and that the setup gave your older grandkids their own space to enjoy.

Family Vacation

We booked this trip for our youngest 21st birthday. The home was as described and as pictured in the listing. The views are breathtaking. So much so that our oldest proposed on the property. Property was clean and had all the amenities. Very quiet and peaceful!

Amazing Home for Family Gathering!

This property was spacious and accommodating for our large group of 11 adults and 2 dogs. The pictures don’t show how large the living space is. The views from the home were spectacular and the property had ample outdoor space to play games and just enjoy. All activities we participated in were nearby and accessible. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Great Location but

Location was wonderful but property was disappointing in some ways. No blinds so you are awake at the break of dawn. Utensils and plates were not as listed for sleeping. Otherwise a nice place.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location and view from house and yard were amazing. Loved all the outdoor areas and swings. Spent most of our time outside. Rented both the house and apartment. House was comforatbel and clean. Apartment was clean but a little outdated. Suggestions would be table and seating inside for meals, more plates and utensils and hair dryer.

Family gathering

We met in Durango to celebrate our son's wedding (which took place on top of Uncompahgre in Aug). We had a get-together with family and friends, and utilized the wonderful outdoor spaces at the house. There are several wonderful seating areas, but our favorite was the fire pit with bench seating (for making s'mores), and the lookout deck for drinking coffee in the mornings. The house is about 20 mins outside Durango, so running to the store is not quick. But, the quiet neighborhood and beautiful scenery made up for that 10x. Highly recommend this beautiful house and guesthouse.

House and views were beautiful just make sure to not leave any fingerprints or you’ll be charged.

The views are beautiful and the house was nice, our only downfall was we didn’t have enough water for our 5 day stay, so they had to get some hauled out to us. Make sure to bring a mop to mop up any spills, or else they will charge extra cleaning fee for uncleaned floors, also don’t take out to much trash bc that will be included in the cleaning fee. Can’t throw up outside either(due to elevation) bc that will be included since it will show up in snow. Can’t wipe snow and mud off on one of their towels as well to prevent from getting the floors dirty, so be sure to take doormats to wipe feet off after coming in from outside.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay at our property. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views and found the house to be nice. We truly appreciate your input as it helps us enhance the overall guest experience. We're sorry to hear about the water issue you encountered during your stay. We understand that access to water is crucial, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Rest assured, we have taken steps to address this concern to ensure that future guests won't face similar challenges. In regards to the unclean floors, throw up, dirty linens (towels) and doormats, the unit was left in very bad condition upon your departure. This required several hours of additional cleaning, outside of the standard cleaning covered by the Cleaning Fee paid at the time of booking. Scenarios like this, where guests do not take care of the property in a respectful manner are stipulated in our rules and regulations agreement that is sent to guests upon booking confirmation. Normal wear and tear on properties is to be expected, but excessive damage and unreasonable conditions left behind by guests is not acceptable. Again, we apologize for the water issues, but are happy that we were able to address them by getting more delivered right away. Thanks again for providing us with your feedback about your stay.

Home was very well-equipped with just about anything you would need for cooking. Appliances were updated and in relatively good condition. There was a leak in the kitchen faucet where the filter system attached. The issue was addressed immediately by installing a new system because the part to fix it was unavailable. However the leak increased after the new installation. This was taken care of promptly. There were a couple of other issues which had to be remedied after we left due to extensive time commitment to fix.Overall the property was great, especially if you have older children. The kids bedroom was downstairs so it was a bit more difficult for a toddler to be on a different level than the parents and grandparents. The queen bedroom is tiny, so keep that in mind if you need room to move around. There's an abundance of room in the master suite area though.We opted to rent the garage apartment as well even though we didn't need it in order to keep the property private for our family. That's a drawback as I see it.Our hosts were readily available via text and made the issues inconsequential.The views from the balconies are fabulous and the whole area is quiet and serene. The living area, kitchen, and eating areas were spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.
