The home is lovely but needs care. The wooden deck is a liability with rotten boards and nails protruding.A fresh set of pots and pans is needed.The nonstick cookware is peeling and we all know that is toxic.There also was not enough towels or sheets for all the rooms.Over all our family enjoyed the space and amenities and these things I mention is just upkeep information for your next guests.
This home is absolutely beautiful! Itâs obvious a lot of thought was put into it prior to construction. It accommodated our family of 14 very well. Its location and views are very good. The owner was very easy to work with as well as the booking agency. I highly recommend this home for your stay!
We had a group of 14 and this home provided just the right amount of space for us. We were able to spread out enough to make it a pleasant stay with 4 toddlers, and 4 families. The kitchen was very well stocked as was the entire house. Setup well for large groups. Being able to hear and see the train from the backyard was a huge hit for our 4 year old grandson. The pool table provided entertainment for the adults. Location worked perfect for the activities we enjoyed while visiting the area. The photos showed more outdoor seating than there was so I would recommend bringing your own. And mosquitos were really bad late afternoon through the evening so it made it hard to enjoy the outdoors during the cooler parts of the day. Bring bug repellent and that might help. AC in the summer would have been ideal, but fans and open windows helped manage the heat for the most part.
Property was very nice, few items that would put it over the top; more bath towels - addition of beach towels - more patio furniture on balcony - downstairs sink in shared bathroom slow to drain - dinnerware in downstairs kitchen
I would recommend to any large group going to Durango! Beautiful inside and out! We did a lot of cooking and you had everything we needed for 14 people! The younger crowd played pool and made the downstairs their own! When we got home we were already wishing we were back in Durango! Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!
This home was the perfect fit for both friends and family. Plenty of room and space for everyone. And it was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. Would definitely stay here again.
The house is spacious & lovely with luscious views of the mountains and trees surrounding the pond. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you might need. Having a second fridge in the downstairs was nice. We werenât so far from Durango proper that we couldnât easily dine out if we wanted. The bathrooms were large, clean and had plenty of towels. The beds were comfortable (always a concern) and had nice linens. Our trip was the first week of June and it was really warm for so early so thank goodness there were plenty of fans. The downstairs was easily 10 degrees cooler. The kids enjoyed playing video games downstairs. We enjoyed the outside spaces as well, roasting sâmores on more than one night. All that said, thereâs a few things that could have been better: the listing says the 2 up bedrooms have AC but they are room units with no instructions how to set them up. I googled the brand but they arenât designed for crank windows. Also, it would have been nice to have a heads up for workmen coming to the house. We had a repairman show up to fix a board on the deck, which, without doubt needed repairing. The whole deck is weather worn and in need of maintenance. The fenced yard in front of the house badly needed mowing. 2 days later a mowing crew shows up, again with no notice, and proceeded to sling mud, gravel and grass on our Jeep while mowing! And no apology for doing so. Road noise is a bit of an issue but the views make up for it. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Very pleased overall with every aspect of our stay, any issues were met with a delight demeanor and quick response. Our family will not hesitate in using this location again if we return to Durango for another family get together.
This house was exceptionally well taken care off. All the amenities needed. Bedrooms were nice. Multiple areas for our group to hang out. Definitely a place I would stay at again
Could not have asked for a better location and property to spend Christmas with our adult children and their families. The home was immaculately clean, spacious, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the split floor design featuring family areas on both levels. This allowed the more energetic crowd to play pool or ping pong downstairs while the less energetic crowd (i.e. me) to nap on the sofa before a roaring fire upstairs. We made extensive use of the kitchen and found everything we needed to prepare and serve meals for a group of nine. Just an overall outstanding accomodation!
This house was cozy with beautiful views from the big windows. Fireplaces were stocked with wood, so we could enjoy them right away. The kitchen had plenty of items to cook with. The beds were sooo comfy with the memory foam toppers. I appreciated the room with the bunk beds as that worked perfect for my kids that werenât quite old enough to sleep on their own in a new place. I liked the open design for gathering with everyone but also the option of separation of upstairs and downstairs. The house overall was gorgeous, clean, spacious, and had what we needed to enjoy our vacation!
We did a getaway Thanksgiving in Durango this year and the property was generally good for our group. Seems like itâs just recently been converted to a vacation rental as it lacks some of the staples and basics (cleaning supplies, etc) that weâve typically seen.
We had some trouble regulating the temperature between floors with the frigid cold outside, but that could just be simple user error. The location is close to town, offers great views of the canyon and the train every morning. The property is large and the fenced yard for the pups was welcome. The bonus room in the basement was a hit with the kids for sure!
Overall we really enjoyed our stay.. a few kinks to work out but solid!
Property was beautiful. Had an amazing time and would definitely stay again. Would only suggest having some basic items like larger bottles of hand soap, basic spices for cooking, and disinfecting sprays to clean up after meals. Other than that, would definitely stay again!
