Great stay
Perfect spot for 4 adults and 2 kids for a long weekend close to town but it also feels like you are in the valley. The deck is incredible and I wanted to spend the whole time out there. One of the best rentals I have ever stayed in. 10/10 would book again!

Excellent house for Durango visit
Our family of 2 parents and 3 adult children really enjoyed our stay in mid-August. The deck was better than the pictures show. It was a really nice view and a great way to start/finish the day. Everyone enjoyed the ping pong and air hockey games downstairs in the evenings. Great location with easy access to everything that we needed. We would love to stay here again.

We visited in early/mid June, and had a great time with extended family. The house was very comfortable for our family group. We spent a lot of time out on the deck enjoying the very scenic view. We all enjoyed our stay at this house, and would definitely stay there again.

Had a great time in Durango!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The property was equipped with everything we needed, was well-kept, clean, and comfortable. We spent much of our time out on the huge deck, taking in the beautiful view of the mountains for as far as we could see in any direction. The house was in a very convenient location, just off of Rt. 550, far enough away from town center to feel the expansiveness of the mountains, but close enough to be able to run into town for groceries, shopping, and going out to eat. Highly recommended!!!

Away and yet so close
A short distance away from downtown Durango and yet so close to most activities, food and shopping. 1st, I love Colorado. Always have always will. Durango has really grown to be a close favorite city. 2nd, I use VRBO exclusively and have trusted their services. I've struggled writing a review this time that wouldn't be critical of this rental. Instead the following is a strong recommendation for the owner and property management. 1.) Follow your posted Mountain AC rules before guest arrives and do invest in one or two window AC units. 3.) clean filter in the portable AC with hose before guest arrives 4.) Be aware of temperatures before guests arrive so #'s 1,2 and 3 will be a a peak performance. 5.) Bringing in an non working, dirty appliance even temporarily to use as a substitute is inefficient. 6.) The customer giving chose-able solutions in order to have a new appliance before a week later is unacceptable. 7.) Property management team please keep customer informed all along the process. Other than once they did respond in a timely manner. Cud-dos to the member who shipped a forgotten item to my home. 8.) The Durango Post Office will not deliver mail/packages/letters or anything else to this rental, no matter who you inform ahead of time. Checking the status of the expected delivery will not help. Go to the PO and pick it up there. 9.) For any cooking utensil reported not working get creative or go buy it. Ooops at 1500 character limit.

Lovely Property
The property was lovely and the night view from the living room was spectacular due to the high windows in the livingroom. The maintenance had problems and I felt I was expected to clean much more than I should have on the last day since we paid a cleaning fee. There was no division from the shower and bedroom and the tub was WAY too high to get into. Getting a hold of a manager was so unbelievably easy and she rates #1 in my book.

Exceeded Expectations
The rental was true to both the pictures on-line as well as the description. The owner also provided toys for kids and, if we had a dog, there were accommodations available for a pet as well. The kitchen was fantastic with everything necessary for cooking. What a fantastic location, only 5 minutes outside of town including a grocery store. Stunning views from giant deck. Ping pong and air hockey were a perfect place for older kids to enjoy while grand kids slept upstairs. Loved our stay - highly recommended

Beautiful and convenient place
The house beautiful with views of the valley. The deck. Is huge! We sat outside and watched the world go by. Beautiful setting. The house was tastefully decorated with every amenity, convenient to town, ski areas, on the road to Silverton. Our only drawback was a steep stairway to enter. High end linens and bedding. Well equipt kitchen. Everything perfect.
