The moment you enter the gates and see this absolutely amazing home nestled into the mountain side and perched above the beautiful river valley below there will be no doubt youâre going to have an amazing adventure! From every single room the open floor plan and large windows brings the beautiful landscape right inside to you! We took full advantage of the multiple sitting areas, enjoying the snow covered views by the multiple exterior fireplaces, the hot tub and covered porch sitting areasâŠevery corner of the house and property have me something to offer! We wondered through the trails behind the house and were able to get up close with the beautiful birds and local wildlife. As we ventured out for our days either on the mountain skiing, into Silverton, or conveniently into Durango we were meet on the river valley drive with flocks of geese, herds of elk, and mule deer it was truly the picturesque scene. We have stayed all over Colorado and have to say this is by far one of the best homes and areas for not only the scenery, the accommodations, and the convenience but the serenity that you could find in a singular place! Valley Retreat is just that⊠a true retreat! A true 12 out of 10 for the whole family!
