Excellent location, cute house and property. Very clean. Easy check-in and check-out. The only negative was the strong smell of air fresheners/Glade plug-ins. We all commented that it irritated our eyes. Our clothes even picked up that smell.

Nice “home” environment

This house made my family feel right at home. Very comfortable surroundings with a hot tub we enjoyed! Close to all activities in and around Durango. Be advised the spiral staircase to second floor makes lugging suitcases a bit tricky.
