Peaceful Stay

Chris’ home made our trip a great getaway. While the home was only a few miles from town, the location and size of the property gave it the perfect secluded feel but was still close enough to Durango and surrounding towns. The views surrounding the property definitely gave tranquil vibes. It was perfect for our Christmas vacation.

Great location!

The home was beautiful, Chris was instantly responsive and the location was perfect. You would never know you were only 3.5 miles from downtown Durango. We and our adult children would go off and do one of the many things you could do in Durango then come back to the home and relax on the patio before heading back to town for dinner.

Perfect Family Property with an Awesome Location

Our family couldn't have been happier with our stay at this property. The one common thread that kept coming up was the awesome location. You seem like you are so remote, yet less that a 10 minute drive to downtown Durango. It was in the high 80's in Durango, but consistently cooler in with the breezes coming down the valley. The sleeping arrangements for our family group of 8 was perfect. Well appointed, clean property. Excellent communication with Chris, the owner. No doubt we will be back!

Would stay again!

Great house in a great location and we had a wonderful time in Durango! That said, there is a trailer park next door, that you can see when pulling into the house but not when you are at the house. We could hear some noise (music/work) on the weekend coming from there but it was not enough to bother us. Also, I was under the impression that the house was secluded on 24 acres. It is not, you can see the neighbors houses. Again, not a big deal, I was just surprised to see them. The house is great and accommodated our needs. Beds and pillows very comfortable. The house is conveniently located about 10 minutes from downtown. Would definitely stay here again!

Ideal Vacation Spot!!

This house was perfect for our vacation. It was secluded and on a quiet street. There were several living areas allowing guests to spread out. We loved the front porch seating in the morning to watch the sunrise and the patio to enjoy the afternoon. The kitchen was well stocked and there were two grills. The house was an short drive into Durango and and not too far from Mesa Verde National Park. It was the perfect place to relax after a day hiking and shopping.

Great accommodations for three generation family vacation

This was a wonderful place for a three-generation family vacation and celebration (graduations from high school, law school, birthday, and upcoming anniversary). (Ages 18 to 80). Durango is our family’s happy place, to which at least some of us have returned multiple times. We know the Durango area well. This property was a great location: beautiful valley, nice views, and only 10 minutes from downtown. The house accommodated eight of us very well, although we could have used two more dining table chairs. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen well equipped (kinives could be sharper, and a couple of serving bowls would be welcome). Otherwise, all was good. Enjoyed the wildlife outdoors. Turkeys, deer, and more! Communication with owner/manager was excellent. We would definitely return.

snowy dream

We felt like we had stepped into a snowy dreamland- the cabin lent itself to either staying in and playing games or venturing out and participating in snow fun. We did have trouble leaving the property considering the crazy storm that had rolled in.

Absolutely Delightful!

This home is very well-kept and has so many amenities that our family of 4 adults & 4 kids only ventured away to ski, ride the train and explore downtown Durango 3.5 out of the 6 days of our stay. The large windows, great wood-burning stove and spacious interior were so comfortable that we found ourselves simply relaxing, enjoying all the coziness and sharing great family meals around the large table. Our kids had a blast sledding, building snow forts & having snowball fights right on the gorgeous property and the adults enjoyed snow-shoeing as well as exploring the property and surrounding parks. The owners are very thoughtful in welcoming guests... they even left some lovely Christmas lights on for our arrival and what a lovely sight they made when we drove up! It's my understanding that the owners often utilize this home themselves so it isn't often available. But let me tell you, if you're lucky enough to get to stay here, you'll find the experience to be perfect.

Dirty and terrible customer service!

Property was dirty. When we arrived, there was an ant Infestation. We spent 2 hours killing ants. When I notified the property owner, he was less than accommodating. First, he said get ant spray. So i said, if the spray ruins your wood, then you will blame me. He then told me to get some lysol and wipe down the baseboards instead. No, Chris, I'm not spending my vacation wiping down your baseboards. So in the end, after a heated conversation, he told us if we didn't like it, we could leave. I told him it was graduation weekend and we probably couldn't find accommodations for 10 people. We had picked this place in order for our family to be together as our daughter was graduating college. He didn't care He called me back and said he found a hotel I had never heard of before. He said he would give my money back and we could leave. He would not discount our stay in any way despite having to deal with the ant infestation! We opted to stay because I did not trust that he would give my money back and we needed the space for our large family. He did send the cleaning lady out the next day and I showed her our dead ant pile. We have pictures. She was nice but seeing the dirt on the baseboards and the dead flies all over, I think they are not doing a very good job. The place needs serious cleaning. The ants never did go away and we spent the weekend killing them as they appeared. Next, the primary bed was extremely hard. It was like sleeping on a board. I had to sleep on the couch all weekend due to back issues. I couldn't use the upstairs or downstairs beds because I am recovering from a broken ankle. Those beds were a bit more comfortable though. The location was great because it's so close to town. BUT it's next to a trailer court that is beyond a trailer court. It looks like a dump. And I'm not being a snob because I've lived in trailer houses as well! This one looks vary sketchy and the dogs barked all the time! The house is nice enough but it needs some serious TLC. The stove was falling apart. It was duct taped together on the bottom. The lights in the basement bathroom didn't work. The kitchen sink faucet wouldn't stay on, although the kitchen did have all the necessary cooking equipment so that was nice. All in all, we did have a good time as a family. However, I feel Chris did not care one bit about whether we had a great experience or not. In Chris's case, the customer is NOT always right!

Our family is passionate about life. We love the outdoors, food, music, sports, and hanging out with family and friends. We also love to travel and it is our intention to create a 5-star experience for our guests. This mountain property on 24 acres is a true labor of love, whereby we personally spend a lot of time every year improving the property. This property will eventually be our full-time retirement home. Until then, we hope you enjoy this property as much as our family does.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

Because it is awesome, come see for yourself!

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Our property location is very unique. It is rare to get 24 secluded acres so close to town with a lot of functional flat acreage in addition to a private mountainside. Adjacent to the creek is a natural springwater-fed pond, which the creek and pond are great areas for reading a book or gazing at stars. The fenced-in yards make great ball fields for kids. The patio adjacent to the house and mountains is a beautiful place to hang out with family and friends.
