Thank you for the 5 star review! We love to hear that this quiet mountain retreat was so loved by you and your furry friend! Those views are to die for and we love them too!
The views are amazing! We spent a lot of time on the deck watching the sunset and stars. Comfortable place with room to spread out. Support was very pleasant and helpful. Great stay.

Thank you for the great review, Chris! We are happy to hear that you found the home to be clean and enjoyed the beautiful views. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The views were amazing and the home had a great and satisfying layout. Loved being out of the hustle and bustle of Durango and in nature. Very relaxing to hang out at the house.
The views off the deck were incredible! We had a much needed excellent time away in your adorable home.

Great cabin in a beautiful location. Our family loved morning coffee on the deck looking out at the mountains. The cabin was very comfortable and provided a perfect base for our trip. Would absolutely stay there again.

We have stayed in 3 other VRBO’s in the area. This was by far the most spacious and had the best views. We will definitely be back.

So glad that you enjoyed your stay. It's nice to have enough space for everyone to "spread-out." And, yes, the views from the property and the large deck are hard to beat!! This property gives you the true Colorado experience. Thank you for your review and we hope to have you back sometime soon.

Amazing location with great views! Sibling trip. We enjoyed historic downtown Durango, a day trip to Telluride did not disappoint, and a hike at Bear Creek. Can't wait to come back to Colorado!

Thanks for the great review Feliz. We're delighted to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay here with us. Thanks for being such great guest, come back soon!
We arrived in the evening, so the views and overall look of the house was not apparent, but oh my word, when the sun came up the next day and revealed what was around us, it was one of the most beautiful settings I have stayed in. The house is immaculately maintained, and comfortable from top to bottom. Thank you for the lovely stay and we definitely have this property bookmarked for future stays.

Beautiful views, location several miles out of town but, really liked the peaceful location, we enjoyed the home and the deck, it was a great place to relax, my only complaint would be that it needs some upkeep, painting, etc., The house had everything we needed as far a well equipped , kitchen, etc.

Secluded deck with great view, so relaxing! You are definitely in the woods but we had everything we needed. Hard to find something that private but still close to town. Thanks for sharing your lovely home!

Glad you enjoyed our home a much as we do! Hard to beat the fabulous views and private location yet still being only 15 minutes to downtown Durango. Hope to have you back.
I awoke the first morning, looking out the master bedroom windows over the San Juan foothills covered in fog, seemingly above the clouds. Breathtaking views. Lost of bathrooms for all your family. Remote enough to feel cozy, close enough to town to grab coffee.

Rocked My World
Great Airbnb. The kitchen has everything you need. The dishwasher has a little issue but they sent a handy man right away and got it fixed .
The house was very spacious and very clean, and I enjoyed the artwork in the house. Most importantly, the views were amazing on the outside deck. We began and ended each day on the outside deck.
We arrived in early August. She had plenty of fans to help circulate the air, and it was comfortable. It was a quiet area. We would stay here again.

Extreme Views and Comfortable Living
I cannot think of anything I would want to change about this home. You are secluded but people are nearby. We chose the home in anticipation of the mountain views and we were rewarded! The location is perfect for exploring. Thank you to the lovely family who is sharing their home with us. Durango Vacation Rentals were great to work with.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The property was very nice, the views were absolutely incredible!. The big issue is the road up to the property. It was advertised as a well maintained gravel road, however, it was extremely rough. It is a very dangerous road for motorcycles! One in our party had a spill and hurt his hip and shoulder and scratched up his bike. Even in a vehicle, the road is rough. The grill was dirty when we got there and the gas was left on. The deck is in need of repair. There are boards sticking up and screws that are not completely screwed in.Two of the screens on the windows blew off and heavy winds on Tuesday. One of the screens came loose from the frame and was laying on the deck when we got home in the afternoon. Once again, the views are incredible and it is a very quiet peaceful setting. I would not rent that property again due to the condition condition of the gravel road.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the property itself and that the incredible views and peaceful setting made a positive impression during your stay.
We are sorry to learn about the accident involving the motorcycle rider in your group and hope he has recovered well. The access road is a mountain gravel road that can be challenging depending on weather conditions and recent wear, and we understand that it may not have met your expectations based on the listing description. We are continuing to work with those responsible for road maintenance and appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention.
We also apologize for the issues you encountered with the grill, deck, and window screens. These concerns have been shared with our maintenance and housekeeping teams so they can be addressed promptly. Guest safety and comfort are important to us, and feedback like yours helps us identify areas that need attention.
Thank you again for your comments. While we're disappointed that the road conditions would prevent you from returning, we appreciate your recognition of the property's unique setting and spectacular views.
We had a lot of fun staying at this property. The views are really great, nothing like looking out at views of mountains and green trees from the deck. There were just a few things that could have been cleaned better, but overall it was great. The internet is slow, but we were able to use our 5G for a hotspot if we needed it to be faster. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking pots and pans. It was nice that the house is secluded, but yet not far from Durango to where you can take a trip into town. The property owner was very responsive to all questions. We definitely had a great time.

Lovely home
This was a lovely home. Of note was the fully stocked kitchen. It made it so much easier for us while there. The living room was lovely and had plenty of seating for us and guests. The kitchen was fine with plenty of cookware. You should know that like much of Durango, getting to the house was a good 10 - 15 minutes from main roads. It is beautiful, but some of it on unpaved roads. It wasn't a problem for us, but if you are looking to make a quick trip to the store, it won't be from here.

We are so happy you enjoyed the home, and that you were able to cook in and enjoy the home. It really is a great house, with amazing views!
We hope you can visit us again soon!

The owners really need to come home and check up on some things here. Pretty sure this is just a teardown property at this point. The bugs, rotting wood, mold in showers and endless dog stain messes, especially under black light… it’s going be hard to fix. But you could start with putting the same light spectrums in your light fixtures. It comes down to the fact that the home builder really did not know Jack about building homes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We always welcome constructive feedback, but we were surprised and disappointed by the tone and content of your review.
This home has over 40 reviews and maintains an excellent rating of 9.5. A significant portion of our guests are returning visitors, which we believe speaks to the quality and consistency of their experience. Not a single previous guest has described the property as a "tear down" or questioned the quality of construction.
That said, we take all guest concerns seriously and have scheduled a thorough inspection to address the items you mentioned. I personally communicated with you during your stay and you never mentioned any of the issues noted in your review other than the light bulbs not being consistent, a strand of hair that was found in the bathroom/bedroom, and a spot on a night stand. I offered to send the housekeeper immediately to address these issues and you declined my offer.
We’re committed to maintaining high standards and ensuring a positive experience for every guest. While we understand not every property is a perfect fit for every traveler, we stand by the quality of this home and the efforts of our team and owners to provide a welcoming and well-maintained space.

Breathtaking views!
This was an absolutely gorgeous property. The drive in is rough gravel, but once you get there the views take your breath away.
The beds were fine and sheets were clean. There were some pet stains on the bottom story carpet and bed skirt, but the rooms were well decorated with great views. Unless you want the bunk room...this is the only reason it didn't get more stars. The bunk bed is shoved into a dark laundry room (one with no windows) and it totally creeped my kids out and they ended up on the floor in our room. It's not another bedroom, it's a basement laundry with a bunk bed.
Other than that, it was a lovely property. Great space to roam, comfortable living and dining, great deck (though watch your toes because there are some loose and warped boards.) Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware.
Downstairs bath was tiny, but the hall closet had plenty of towels, blankets and pillows.
I would definitely come back to this property, provided I didn't need the bunk room. The 10 min drive into town made it perfectly remote, but easily accessible.
We enjoyed our time here thoroughly. Thank you!

Thank you for your review and glad that you enjoyed your stay at our Deer Trail property. We have to agree that the views do "take your breath away". It's one of the things that make for a truly special property. It's so easy to sit back and relax on the deck staring into the spectacular La Plata Mountains. We like to keep our properties in tip-top shape and already have someone set to look at the deck boards you mentioned. Sorry that your children didn't enjoy the bunk bed room and I have passed along this review to the home owner as well. Hope you have a lot of fond memories of your trip to Durango. We'd love to have you back again.
