Fantastic location and comfort

Loved our time at the Animas Basecamp. The house is so comfy for three couples. We enjoyed the two outdoor spaces and the sprawling great room. We played games watched sports and cooked together. Parking was sufficient for 4 cars and we were able to have our family join for a post graduation toast. Loved the proximity to downtown just over the walking bridge. It was just a perfect spot. We’d highly recommend staying here.

The location is fabulous! We loved the close proximity to the river trail and the downtown restaurants. While in the property, we spent most of our time on the back deck, which everyone enjoyed. The upstairs bedroom and bath are spacious. Two bedrooms downstairs are small but adequate. The property was very well stocked. The owners live next door and are very helpful.Only a couple of problems: there’s a note on the sliding door to the back deck warning that the door locks from inside. It’s dimly lit inside and if the latch is in the locked position, the door will still open easily—no tugging. But if you close it behind you, you’re locked out. This really should be fixed. The caution is misleading. After we were locked out and the owner rescued us, it became a running joke when the rest of our party arrived.A minor problem was that the dinner plates are too big to fit in the dishwasher. We used salad plates all 10 days rather than hand wash the big plates. Also, if you are sensitive to dust, be advised there are a lot of dust magnets: abundant decorative items, particularly on the living room shelves, artificial plants, throw rugs, honeycomb shades, shag carpet, and old furniture. However, the decor is interesting and mountain themed contributing to a fun vacation atmosphere. The owners put together a book with restaurants listed and reviewed that we found very helpful. Both bathrooms had a large supply of nice towels.

Home away from home

This was by far the best VRBO we've stayed at! Listing was completely accurate, location was fantastic! The outdoor space made this stay so lovely and special for our family! It didn't feel like a rental but more like home away from home. Lots of amenities and everything we needed. Property owner was super kind and responsive when we contacted them...definitely will be back!

Our Durango getaway at Animas River Basecamp

Location and property couldn’t be better for a stay in Durango. Right along the river for fishing, and path for walking and biking, walking distance to town, which is an awesome town to explore. Basecamp has super outdoor spaces for gathering with friends, is clean, stocked and well equipped for cooking and relaxing with friends. A great vrbo.

Why they chose this property

This property was extensively remodeled 2008 for my aging mother so that she could be close by, but have her own privacy. We live in the house next door.

What makes this property unique

The location is what sold us on this property. The views of the river are spectacular. It is close to downtown and the extensive river trail. You feel like you are in a private oasis in the heart of town.
