Quiet, convenient, and beautiful

Beautiful scenic property and facilities. After meeting Cyndi and seeing the cabin, we knew we picked the right property. We felt right at home, it was really hard to leave at the end of our week. Quiet area if you want to relax, short drive to Durango with its many places to eat and things to do. >

Luxury Mountain Paradise for Couples

Beautiful setting, beautifully decorated and designed loft with the peace we were looking for. Cyndi has done an excellent job of providing every detail you will need for a stay here. The kitchen is the best outfitted kitchen we have ever had with a VRBO. Lovely hosts and lovely family. Planning on coming back again.

Summertime Durango River Retreat

When looking for a place to stay in Durango, I had one non-negotiable criteria: riverfront. Cyndi’s property was absolutely perfect! We loved waking up to hearing the running water and enjoying a glass of wine down by the river edge in the adirondack chairs. The apartment itself was perfect for 2 people. Well equipped kitchen and full laundry! The location was perfect - just 10 minutes to downtown Durango. Cyndi was a wonderful on-site host with lots of local recommendations!

Durango River Teyreat

We really enjoyed this stay. Property was clean and well stocked. Our hostess and her son were a delight. It was nice to come back to this quiet place at the end of the day and relax on the large deck. We really didn’t lack for a thing, and would love to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Cyndi Amstutz, 9702106562

We are a family of four that love the outdoors, wildlife and pets. I have lived here since 1995 while my wife has been here since 1989. We were both outdoor guides, exploring the area until we graduated from college here in the late 1990's. We fell in love with the area and decided to raise our kids here. We have lived on this property since it was purchased in 2015. When we bought it, it was definitely a fixer-upper. We have spent the last three years transforming it to the house you see today. We live in the main house but decided to let others share this beautiful part of Colorado with us in the Guest house. It is separate and just as quiet.

Why they chose this property

This property is our little slice or heaven. While we LOVE Durango, living downtown did not appeal to us. We wanted seclusion, privacy, a place to stretch out and enjoy the wind through the trees
