Would stay again

Overall, we enjoyed the house. The bed was very comfortable in the house had everything we needed. We had to keep the heat running in the living room and the fireplace on to keep it warm because there is no house here in those rooms. But that worked. We would definitely stay here again.

Great month in Durango

This house worked out well for our month stay. We used it as a base for many incredible day trips around Durango. The kitchen is amazing, new top grade appliances, beautiful sink. The bath is also newly remodeled with a great shower. We stayed during an extremely hot July and the one AC unit wasn’t keeping up well with the heat. One call to the host and we were immediately supplied with two window fans that did the trick. Very happy with the response from our host. The home is walking distance to the historic district which we walked to nearly every day and the Animas River trail is also walking distance and so beautiful.

Holly Jean-Super Host!

We enjoyed our stay very much? The place was fully remodelled with new appliances. The house is located just a few blocks from Main Avenue. There are several restaurants nearby. Also, just a half block away is a natural foods co-op where you can buy many basic necessities. Holly Jean, the owner, is accessible and willing to help if you have any issues. She seems to be a very kind person and is very helpful! If you are going to Durango, this is the place to stay!
