The Bear House property was truly amazing with all its amenities and views you could ask for. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. The location had easy access to Durango, restaurants, shopping, Lake Nighthorse,and the Vallecito Reservoir for boating and fishing access.We look forward to visiting the property in the future.

Absolutely wonderful stay. The location is unbeatable, just far enough outside of Durango to feel very secluded but still only a 10-15 minute drive to town. The kitchen was fully stocked and allowed us to cook our entire Thanksgiving family meal with ease! Check-in was seamless and we were communicated everything we needed to know ahead of time. Very quiet and peaceful. The river going right under the driveway was awesome. Can't wait to go back!

Nice stay on the river.

We stayed in the 'Bear House' which had plenty of space and a nice kitchen, dining, and living area. Wonderful yards and near the river. We were in town for a wedding and this was still close enough to get to Durango and see family.

Beautiful Property

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It had plenty of space inside and the property is gorgeous. We played games outside by the river and just enjoyed the breathtaking views all around us. It was an easy 15-minute drive into Durango for grocery shopping and restaurants.

The best vacation rental property you can find!

Nick and his wife were unbelievable hosts for the property. They did everything to make sure we felt at home. In my opinion 5 stars is not enough gratitude or high enough for the quality of place this home is. This is for sure a very great location and the property itself is amazing. If you are looking at renting in Durango, this is the place.

Beautiful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Cabin. The home was clean, charming and perfect for our family of 5! Nick was responsive, helpful and accommodating. We loved being 15 minutes from downtown while being tucked away in a little forest along the Florida River! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us! We are already planning our next stay!

Beautiful mountain retreat

This was our second stay at this property and we enjoyed it so much. The house and linens were clean and there is everything you could need in the kitchen. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and spacious. We stayed with some friends who occupied the larger side and it was great being there together, but also having privacy. The grounds are well maintained and the kids and adults alike enjoyed exploring and playing. The fall weather was perfect and we can’t wait to visit again next year!
