FAMILY REUNIONS in Spacious Mountain Lodge!

So glad you enjoyed the spaciousness of the lodge and the beautiful mountain vistas! So close to town yet with alot of privacy and quiet. Thank you for your positive review.

I apologize for any inconvenience and will make sure there will be no loud music from my downstairs tenant. • As soon as you notified me the dryer was not working I came up with solutions. You had almost immediate access to another working dryer in the garage. Thank you for bringing to my attention the day of your departure of the loss of hot water - the reset battery has been replaced and the hot water is working perfectly now.. I’m glad you were able to enjoy the beauty of the LaPlata mountains from my deck and my 35 acres surrounding the lodge with its closeness to downtown Durango. This is my dream home. As you know I live here year-round. I make an effort to accommodate my vacation guests giving them as much space as needed for short-term rental in the refrigerator & freezer, the master bedroom dresser, upstairs bedroom dressers and closets emptied + all bed & bath linens supplied! I pride myself in being a solution-oriented host, readily available to my guests. I have quickly attended to these issues. The house is in tip-top shape and ready for my next guests.

THANK YOU for your positive review! Your family is welcome to return anytime it's available.

Despite numerous pictures posted these folks decided it was not to their liking and left without using it, asked for a refund, then wrote this review of fabrications. This is a family lodge, our year-round home, that we are diligent about keeping clean and up to date. The cancellation policy is clearly posted, along with many photos of what it looks like, inside and out. The house built in 1995 recently had new rugs installed, the interior painted, and new curtains and drapes installed and is adequately equipped with kitchenware, spices, bed & bath linen. We have been offering our lodge/home to vacation renters from all over the US for over 15 years with happy guests as these entries in our guest journal attest: 2002: "Tatanka lodge is a roomy, sunny, airy, peaceful and restful place to spend a vacation." 2005: "We have enjoyed your home here in Durango so much! … and have special memories of our time here at Tatanka Lodge. … We had a wonderful time, and enjoyed your beautiful home. The scenery from your home is unbelievable." 2007: "This place is awesome! Perfect spot to spend time with our family! We enjoyed every second." 2009: "What a fun, fun, fun, and enchanting place. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us." 2010: "Your beautiful home provided my husband and I a much needed refuge from the heat, humidity and hectic pace of Washington DC. … I especially enjoyed feeding and watching the birds, and we were greeted with two bucks walking across the yard." 2015: "You have a great house and a magical location." 2019: "We loved your house, it was very beautiful… Like heaven!”
