Family trip

House was perfect for family vacation. House provided us with a great place to relax after days at Purgatory and site seeing around town. Home was as advertised and provided us with a rare opportunity for generations to make memories and enjoy time together. Will definitely consider staying here again during summer to enjoy the other great opportunities the property offers outside.

Wonderful house and location.

We so enjoyed the location, house and especially the river. Waking up to the view from the large windows in the bedrooms. Wonderful views all throughout the log house. House is well supplied with things needed. Location perfect for the places we wanted to visit. Excellent communication. Thank you. Loved it!!!

Perfect Cabin

Honestly the pictures on line don't do it justice. The place and location are stunning. The river is literally right out back and the view out every window is incredible! There is even a sliding door in the Master Bath that goes out to the back deck that I would open every morning while getting ready and listen to the water and nature all around. Not far from city limits of Durango!

Enjoyed the escape from Texas heat

We had a great time in this beautiful cabin. Enjoyed hearing the river sounds steps from the back deck. Home was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals. Cabin was within about 20 minutes from downtown Durango. We enjoyed family time with daughter, son in law and the grandkids.

A Piece of Colorado Paradise

This VRBO property met all our expectations. The home is beautifully furnished, comfortable, and conveniently located. The back deck offers relaxation in a natural setting for all ages to enjoy. The owner answered all of our questions promptly prior to our arrival. Needless to say, our Colorado vacation was a great success and we would not hesitate to stay at this Durango property again.

Impecable!

This property was wonderful for Thanksgiving with friends. Beautiful location near the river and among the trees. While there are other properties nearby, it faced the river and seemed very secluded. Sunshine on the first day and snow two days later. Thanks to the owners we did not have to shovel ourselves out from 11”! Incredibly well equipped from linens to kitchen equipment to outside seating. One of the best equipped kitchens I have experienced with VRBO and one of the most clean properties upon check in. The owners were responsive before and during our stay. Made for a perfect visit.

Beautiful Setting!

We needed to get away from the scorching Arizona August heat and this was the perfect escape. The weather and the setting were beautiful! The pictures of the back yard do not do it justice!! Our 2 dogs also loved the backyard. The house is private without any neighbors bordering the property. We saw adult and baby deer across the river in the backyard. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need to cook. There is plenty of outdoor seating. We ate most of our meals on the back deck.

Setting and cabin great, not so good otherwise.

Cabin, furnishing, and setting great. The outside was dirty uninviting. No deck furniture out, however I did find and get some seating out, barbecue unavailable due to property owner blocking access by "unfortunate parking." The owner of property is a business man, I thought proactive problem solver. Not. My wife and I came to this property to get away from heat of Arizona and relax, not slinging pots and pans. Because the barbecue was unavailable we had to do carryouts. We are in our late 70's as I explained to the owner, did not want the risk Covid 19 using carryout. Ask that he overnight key to Jeep to landscape business owner, however he stated there was a liability risk. Big time cop out, that is what insurance is about. Ask that he have landscape owner purchase barbecue and bring to property. Not in "his scope of responsibility." I did find a small barbecue that sat on the ground he suggest we use, no briquet or lighter fluid. I will be 80 next year, fearful if I try to cook on the ground I would be unable to get up. I told owner he was putting me at risk Covid 19 and an hour of travel to do carryout, but no action. What we envision was to have barbecued chicken, steaks, ribs, vegetables eat on the deck and enjoy the beautiful setting. That did not happen because the lack of problem solving on the part of the owner. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Would not recommend until owner becomes proactive, takes care of outside cleanliness, get deck furniture set up and makes barbecue available. Truly, truly a big disappointment.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

We Live in Kansas and enjoy every year spending time in Colorado. We purchased this home to get away with family and friends. Durango is amazing with such a neat downtown with shopping, art studios and great dining. We enjoy outdoor sports and love being a short drive away from the Slopes

Why they chose this property

We bought this home because we wanted a true log home. We loved the idea of being right on the river and having the mountains as our backdrop. The layout of the home is open but yet so cozy with the massive fireplace. This home fit all of our needs with the updates and open floorpan, expansive windows and large kitchen.
