We loved this property and the cabin itself. The only thing was the listing showed photos of a room with 2 bunk beds but there were only 3 double beds available, so one kiddo slept on the couch. He enjoyed sleeping by the fire though,so it all worked out.
The property was very enjoyable. Love the access to the river. We enjoyed the peace and fishing. Itâs a short trip to Durango and Lemon lake. The house has everything you need. We will return for sure!
The property is gorgeous. The house is well stocked and has every kitchen gadget you could think of. There are well taken care of ponds and a little beach you get access to. Itâs worth every bit they charge. Well priced for what you get.
The pictures of the property do NOT do it justice! To be right on the river and catch trout in the backyard was an amazing experience for our family. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a great time and enjoyed our experience there. If we ever vacation in Durango in the future, Iâd definitely stay at this home again!
We loved the cabin and it was perfect for our family. The kids loved playing in the creek and exploring and my husband and I loved our morning coffee on the back porch while listening to the creek. Best VRBO rental experience weâve had yet!
The house is set 30 feet from the creek and is so lovely. The sound of the creek is so enjoyable from the deck, inside when the screen in used and will lull you to sleep in your bed. The evergreens in the area make the air smell so fresh.
The house was clean and has been decorarated in a Western and Native American motif. We loved all the decorations. We spent quite a lot of time playing cards on the deck. It was quality family time. There are many things to do in the area and downtown Durango is really cool!
The only drawback was the uncomfortable futon in the guest room. We even bought a pad to make it softer but it needs to be replaced with a real comfortable bed.
The property is in a great location next to the Florida River just steps from the patio. The property was clean with nice amenities inside, however the outside needs cleaning. IE, power washing the patio because of the cob webs and bird droppings. Landscaping was not maintained and was over grown. Cell phone coverage was non existent which wouldnât have been a problem but the house phone and WiFi were also not working. We did contact property management after arriving with no resolution the entire week of our stay, even after repeated inquiries. This wouldnât have been a problem but with no cell reception a local land line was needed in case of emergencies. Other than the few issues it was a wonderful stay.
My husband and I, and my mother, spent five days in Durango. The Between the Waters home was a perfect fit for us. The river just steps from the back deck made for soothing time to just sit and enjoy, both the river and the cool weather. The home itself had plenty of room for the three of us.
Loved the location and the rushing stream just off the porch. Great place to enjoy that morning coffee and in the Colorado mountains. Catching a few trout made it even better. Nice home and location.
We loved this home. Stayed with my parents (my dad's 76th birthday!) And my kids. So nice to be on the river. Dad caught one trout in the stream. Thanks so much for sharing your special space.
We enjoyed our stay at Between the Waters. We fell asleep each night to the sounds of the rushing Florida River - it was amazing! We booked the property as a jumping off point for our Durango area adventures.
We hiked at Vallecito Lake, biked the Animus River trail through Durango, rode the D&SNG RR's Cascade Canyon train, enjoyed the dinner show at the Bar D Ranch (highly recommend!), spent an afternoon enjoying the wibbit on Lake Nighthorse, and took a whitewater rafting trip on the Animus River.
We were mostly at Between the Waters to eat and sleep, but we did book it also for the fishing opportunities in the river and at the neighborhood pond during the evenings. We aren't used to river fishing, so we didn't have any luck there. As for the pond...unfortunately, the neighborhood association pass that was left to access the pond was out of date (by 2 years), and residents at the pond turned us away when we went to use it. That was a big disappointment for our kiddos. We reached out to the management company, but the issue wasn't resolved before our week's vacation was up.
But the home was lovely...lots of history on the walls. The one other thing I would mention is that the third bedroom's bed was a pretty hard futon mattress. My 12 year old still slept ok, but I somehow didn't realize that it wasn't an actual bed from the photos. Overall a great home with plenty of kitchen counter space, a dinner table large enough for our family of six, and a wonderful home!
This place was absolutely amazing!!! Spent mornings on patio listening to the river while drinking our coffee and tea. Enjoyed watching the wildlife . Neighborhood was wonderful. Just 15 minutes from downtown.
We enjoyed this property so much. The access to the lakes and river for fishing were a family favorite. The house is steps from the Florida River which made for such a peaceful sound. It was the perfect place to escape the hustle of everyday life. Short drive to Durango for all the things town has to offer but far enough out to feel secluded.
I wish we had more time in this beautiful, super unique cabin on the river. It doesn't have a fire pit, which we were disappointed in but the covered patio was great. The river and surroundings were stunning. The cabin itself has amazing artifacts and paintings. Loved the vibe. Wifi didn't really work for us. Loved our stay here!
Great stay! The little creek next to the house adds very nice touch. House had everything you could need and property managers had great communication. Would defiantly recommend and stay again!
Great cozy home. The location was good for getting to town. I wish the river had more flow to it so we could have fished. That being said it was still the end of winter and things were still frozen. All in all it was a great trip. I would definitely stay here again.
