Very clean and comfortable home right on the river. Sit on the deck early mornings and listen to the river and watch the wildlife. House is well equipped which made meal prep a breeze. Had a really great time.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Koren! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the home, the spacious kitchen, and especially the river access. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing getaway!
This house was a wonderful home base for exploring the Durango area. The location worked out beautifully — we were close enough to visit Mesa Verde National Park, spend an afternoon shopping the trading posts in Farmington, and still make it into historic Durango without feeling like we were always in the car. Being right on the river was one of our favorite parts of the stay; with the windows and doors open, you could just hear the water flowing, and it made the whole place feel peaceful and calming. We were treated to deer in the front yard several times, which never got old. It was quiet, restful, and exactly the kind of setting we were hoping for.The one thing I'd mention is that the house could have used a more thorough cleaning before our arrival — there were cobwebs on a few of the wall décor pieces, some dust film on the chest in the bathroom, and the ping pong table in the garage felt a bit grungy. Nothing that ruined our stay, but worth a heads-up for the next guests and maybe an easy fix for the owners between bookings.Overall, we had a lovely time and would happily consider staying here again for the location and the peaceful setting alone.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We're so glad the location worked well as a home base for Mesa Verde, Farmington, and downtown Durango. The river really is the star of this property, and it sounds like you enjoyed it just the way we hoped you would. The deer visits never get old for us either!
We appreciate you letting us know about the cleaning details. We've shared your notes on the wall décor, the bathroom chest, and the ping pong table with our cleaning team so those spots get more attention between stays.
We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

This place was a dream! We cannot wait to return! Perfect for families, this place has everything. We caught rainbow trout in the river just down the path from the house, enjoyed the hot tub at night, and sat out on the patio in the morning to enjoy our coffee and listen to the river.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you had such a wonderful experience and were able to enjoy the wildlife and the playground with your little ones. It’s always great to hear when guests have such a memorable stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We loved our stay here. We will definitely come back. It was a perfect place for two families with children. Enough room for all the spread out and for the kids to play. We enjoyed baking cookies and cooking meals in the very well equipped kitchen. The kids had a blast sledding in the back yard. House was clean comfortable and cozy. We were a little disappointed that the play structure wasn’t there anymore, but the kids still had fun!

Peaceful Family Getaway
This place is as advertised, we enjoyed a peaceful snowy weekend. We loved everything about this place, the only improvements we could ask for would be a lighted property to come to as it was dark when we got there due to bad weather.
This is our annual sibling trip. A way to thank our parents and honor their memory. We enjoyed staying at your home. The views were lovely. The kitchen well equipped.
