Nice little place, peaceful, quiet, tons of wildlife. Bring your own coffee or K-cups. We had no phone service at property aside from WiFi (perfect for peaceful retreat). Saw 3 spiders in our short 2 night stay so if you don’t like spiders might not be your place!

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Jenni! We're so glad to hear you had a peaceful and quiet stay and got to encounter some wildlife too. We also appreciate your notes about bringing your own coffee and the cell service as it's helpful feedback for future guests. Once connected to the property's Wi-Fi, guests can enjoy full access to their devices and use Wi-Fi calling to stay connected. Since the home is located in the Colorado woods, it's not uncommon to occasionally see a spider or two—especially during seasonal changes when temperatures begin to drop. Thanks again for your kind review. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Great family vacation

We had a great time at the Barndominium. It was just enough outside of town that we were able to see turkeys, deer, and elk all walk through the property during our stay. It was still close enough to town that it didn't feel like too much of a drive to visit the restaurants and shops on main street. Beds were comfortable and open floorplan between the kitchen, family room, and dining area created a great space for our family to hang out. We would definitely stay here again.

Spent 5 days in Durango with our two grand daughters at the Barndominion! What a wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful time in Durango. The location is perfect and glad we had 4 wheel drive to access the snow covered road leading up to the property. It is secluded and the drive to it looks like a winter wonderland . The barndo was cozy but had plenty of room. The only thing missing is a hot tub.
