Loved the condo. Wished the pool and hot tub were closer so we didn’t have to drive to them. Would also suggest instructions for the TVs since we were not familiar with streaming. Overall it was great though!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad our home at Tamarron Resort provided the perfect balance of being close to the rally while also giving you a quiet place to relax. Happy to hear you enjoyed the amenities and felt comfortable during your stay. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
It was very nice and comfortable overall - the only issue we ran into was the morning after we first checked in, my wife got soaked by the sprinklers when walking out along the sidewalk to our car. That sprinkler head should be addressed.

Reviewer Comments:
Very nice place. Was very clean and well prepared. Nothing that we really needed was not there. Management was good to communicate and very helpful. If I was trying to find a negative the master mattress is overly firm.

Thank you for your kind review! We're so happy to hear that you found the place clean, well-prepared, and that the management was helpful and communicative. We truly appreciate your feedback about the master mattress – we understand comfort is subjective, and we have taken this into consideration for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!
Beautiful condo with all the things you need. The condo has AC, and the master suite is perfectly cool with a unit IN the room. The second room and living areas can get a little warmer, but with plenty of windows to open and 2 floor fans included, we were very comfortable. Awesome golf course! Pools were a little cold even in June but bearable for the kiddos. Gym is was awesome. Playground is in the sun but a fun place to play early evening. Overall a very well kept resort and condo! Highly recommend!

Nice place but with some issues
Nice property but AC was not working for two days. Coffee machine did not work either. Carpet needs some cleaning upstairs. Nice view from the back porch but you get highway noise.Overall, it was ok, but we will not be back.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great vacation staying at “The Burly Bear.” The condo was clean and had everything we needed during our week long stay. The pool and playground were a perfect spot for our son to burn some energy. The property was absolutely beautiful with a great mountain view off the back porch. The Grill also had great food and close by. Durango was close enough to enjoy attractions and dining, but far enough away to enjoy wildlife sightings and a peaceful, slower pace. Highly recommend a stay at “The Burly Bear!”
