Family Vacation

We had 14 total in our group. We stayed the last week of July. The space was perfect for our family! The chuck wagon Bar D Wranglers are so close we were practically neighbors! We enjoyed their show as well! We loved our time in Durango and this little home was the perfect end to the long days of adventuring.

The actual amount of space was amazing. The location made it easy to get back into Durango. The game room area was nice for all to enjoy. Outside decks very enjoyable. Huge kitchen and well supplied. Even checkout was easy. Nice way to end a 50th anniversary celebration and gathering.

Great house, great location. Everything was perfect.

We had a great time here. Both houses were very clean, well appointed, and in a great location. 10 min from downtown and on the way up to the slopes. Very secluded, can’t even see the neighbors! We had a group of 10 (adults/teens) and no problem with space. Had a couple bedrooms to spare even!

Awesome location! Beautiful and Spacious!

This was the best place that we have stayed on a ski trip. It is hard to find a place to accommodate 3 families that include 8 teenagers. It is spacious and has everything you need to cook meals, watch TV, play games, hike or just relax. The location is convenient for going to Durango and the ski resort. The layout of the house is perfect and very comfortable. We will be back this time next year!

Thank you so much for the awesome review. We take a lot of pride in the Red Cliff Guest House. The location as you mentioned cannot be beat!! The size of the property and the fact we have the 2 houses only 100 feet apart work so well together for large groups. We really look forward to you all coming back next winter. Cheers, John

Perfect location and roomy for large group!

This was our second year in this house! We love it and will return. Great location between Durango and Pugatory ski resort. There are three family all with 2-3 teenage kids that stay in the second house while the adults stay in the main house. It is clean and roomy with beautiful views. I watched a deer walking through 2 feet of snow outside the bathroom window while I soaked in the huge bathtub. Worth the drive from Texas!

Red Cliff Rocks!

Our week at Red Cliff Guest House was amazing! Spacious and beautiful, just outside of Durango, was a week of Heaven.
