Great location, good house. Game room is awesome, especially for the young adults and teens. Outdoor stairs were a little precarious for an 87 year old. Otherwise, excellent experience.

Our family stayed here for 5 days while visiting family. This house was all we could have asked for and more! It was very clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the views couldn't be beat. Our kids had a great time in the game room too! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

We picked this house because it was the perfect distance between downtown Durango and Purgatory Ski resort. It had everything we needed for a basecamp. Would definitely stay here again.

This cabin was perfect for our stay. Adequate space, clean, comfortable and felt like home. The home had everything we needed. A big plus was how convenient it was for a visit to the hot springs. The view of the mountains, the sound of the train and the cool breeze coming through the open windows made for perfect mornings & evenings hanging out in the house. No fault to the owner because I overlooked this small detail when searching for a property, the steps leading up to the home were a bit of a challenge for someone with horrible knees. But its doable, the handrail definitely helps. The host was always very prompt in replying to any of my questions/requests. Thank you for being a part of our fabulous weekend!

Great location, close to town. Host was very accommodating. Laundry & kitchen were great for our family. Wouldn’t recommend for older guests, the stairs are very steep and uneven. It made it hard for our grandparents to enter & exit the home.

Great communication and lovely home with great views of the train as it passed by in the mornings and afternoons. Great location close to town and amenities. Very close proximity to the hot springs. Plenty of space to accommodate our group of 8: 5 adults and 3 children. We came up to ride the Polar Express and made beautiful memories as a family. Only wish the house had been prepared for us to feel a warm welcome. The heat was off and it was a very cold 55 degrees inside upon arrival.

Great spot!

Perfect location for our family to stay and enjoy summer in Durango for a few days. Nicely situated close to town and also close to James Ranch and Purgatory. Plenty of room for the 4 of us.
