Great stay. Close to the river and town. Loved the deck. The BBQ grill was a wonderful surprise. Just a FYI, there are 16 stairs to the unit, which is located on the 2nd floor. Not a problem for us. Wonderful stay, wonderful hosts!

A beautiful house in a peaceful location with the Animas River and the mountains right out the back! A cozy ambience with lots of windows for natural lighting. The skylights in the bathroom with the views of the mountains are amazing! The kitchen is well-stocked and the bed was comfy.

The house was in a beautiful location and easy to walk to down town. Just as described. The hosts were also super responsive. The place was a little dirty (ex there was a hair in the bed before we got into bed) and there was a shelf falling off the wall when we got there. But this is all general wear and tear things that I expect of a VRBO so it wasn’t an issue. Would still recommend :)

Fantastic spot and great host

We loved the place. It was cozy, great location, and wow the shower was so amazing. After some hard skiing, we really appreciated a good hot steamy shower with great water pressure.

Cozy stay with a beautiful view!

We had a wonderful time and the place was perfect for us. We got there and it was snowing so we cooked all of our meals for the week! We fly fished, went jeeping and enjoyed the gorgeous San Juans! Ended up having to cut our trip short due to a death in the family, but it was still a great place and we will be back to stay there again!

Silverton Ski Trip - Rule of 5

We were on a family trip to Silverton with the main purpose of skiing at the nearby mountain. The Animas River House was perfect for our 5 night stay in town. It was only a 5 minute walk to the Silverton town center and was a good size for a group of 5. We really enjoyed our stay!

Animas house

Ideal location for enjoying the San Juan’s. Historic home, modern interior, phenomenal shower, and so nice to be right on the river. And whoever came up with putting sky lights in the bathroom is genius…washing your face in the morning and looking at those mountain peaks gets you that much more stoked to start your day. A property I will want to return to.

This place is wonderful. You can see and hear the Animus River from the balcony. It was very nice to hang at the house and nice to come home to after a day of sightseeing sometimes up a 14 thousand foot mountain. Recommended!
