The house was perfect for our family, allowing all of us to enjoy our time, without being crowded. The window AC unit in the master bedroom was an especially nice surprise for my husband, who doesn't sleep well unless he is cool. The fresh eggs were a really nice treat! It was the perfect home away from home for family of 9. Jason was a great host, always quick to respond. We would definitely recommend this home, and would stay there again.

This was one of the best VRBO experiences we have had so far. The place is very cozy and comfortable. It was even very cool in the summer time with the cooling unit available. Communication with the host was PERFECT. He's amazing and having the chickens on the property made it even better.There are so many things to do in Durango and we loved being out in the forest. So many wonderful wildlife animals to enjoy as well.

This is our 3rd or 4th time staying here and we'll likely stay again when in the area.It's a great place to relax, a great 'base of operations,' and also a great place for family to gather. It's a beautiful location that's pretty close to - Durango, Vallecito Reservoir, and the Sky Ute casino. It's a comfortable, well-appointed home with lots of 'homey' touches. We had 7 adults and 2 kids and everyone slept comfortably. We cooked, grilled, and made smores.

Another great visit

This is our 3rd time here and we, again, loved it. The house is a great base of operations for running around the area and it's big enough to host a bit of a family reunion with fun had by all. The area is beautiful and peaceful. The host is wonderful and responsive if we do have a question.

This a very spacious and equipped property. It is in a very quiet location. There is very good access to both the Durango and Pagosa areas. The porch and outdoor grill are a plus.

We've stayed here twice because we loved it so much the first time. Our one stay was absolutely flawless and heavenly. The other stay we ran into some minor hiccups and the host was prompt in getting back to us and helping us resolve the problems immediately, even though they weren't his fault in any way. It was beautifully staged, well stocked, well maintained, comfortable and welcoming. We slept well, enjoyed stargazing, animal watching, and barbecuing, along with family time hanging in the kitchen and the outdoor seating, watching movies on the big screen, and playing games from the closet. We come to visit friends in Bayfield and spend half our time just enjoying the serenity of our accommodations. Also conveniently located for those looking for outdoor recreation and to get back to nature. The whole family highly recommends this place and will be our first choice if we get to come visit again. Maybe next time we'll finally make time for fishing at the lake or exploring the local trails.

Beautiful location, home, and memories

We had a fantastic time at this property. We were able to have a very small wedding on the property itself and it was a dream come true! We enjoyed how easy it was to check in, how communicative and supportive the host was, the location and of course- the house itself! Jason was an incredible host, he really went above and beyond to help make sure the wedding week went smoothly. Truly the best vacation ever all thanks to Jason and this property!

A great place for our family.

We really enjoyed this beautiful home in a quiet area! There were wild turkeys and deer to enjoy. We even had the experience of hand feeding some veggies to a local deer who decided to visit us each morning on the front deck. A short, scenic drive to Durango for us to hop the train and take an awesome rail ride down to Silverton. If you have a large group traveling together, this place can be perfect!

Peace and quiet in the pines

This is a lovely property in a subdivision in the country. Surrounded by pine trees, it is private and quiet. We slept with the windows open every night, grilled and ate dinner on the deck, and enjoyed the deer that visited in the mornings. The house is well-stocked and clean, with comfortable beds and a great media room. Jason is a caring and attentive host. We definitely would stay here again.

Lots of room to spread out

This property has tons of space and options for all age ranges! We got more than we expected between a very spacious kitchen, fantastic media room, and lots of sleeping options. We saw lots of wildlife - including deer and wild turkeys. The road getting up to the property is unpaved and very steep in places - fortunately our rental car was able to manage it. If we stay in the area again, we would absolutely book this property again.

Wonderful home away from home

This house was the best that I’ve stayed in. The accommodations were way over what was expected. There was q-tips, cotton balls, lotion, Kleenex and on & on for our use. Even a printer if we needed it. Lots of towels & wash cloths for us. The house was very roomy. We had deer that came to visit. The kids loved it. It was great!

If you like quiet times and Deer this place is for you

It is a nice place in a subdivision a few miles out of Bayfield. Quiet neighborhood. Deer, chipmunks and wild turkeys were our only visitors. There is a strip of lawn that the deer bed down on the afternoons. Pretty good entertainment area, too. If there is an off-season coming up this winter we would encourage Jason and a work crew to lay down new flooring in the kitchen, put in new pet and kids proof carpeting in the living room, too. Plus that roof lighting tube in the master closet needs big time cleaning out. Sharp kitchen knives for future visitors will be welcomed as well, I bet. Otherwise, he has a "winner".

This might be the best VRBO we've ever stayed at! It was as beautiful as a staged home, as comfy as being home, and better stocked than any hotel. We enjoyed everything about this place from the setting to the accommodations to the theater room. Our only regret is that we only stayed five days because we couldn't fit everything in. Close to outdoor adventures including horseback riding, quaint towns, historic sites, in a safe community with wildlife all around. Everything was clean, new, functional, well-stocked and comfortable. Never once did I think "I wish they had..." Instead, I wished I could have stayed forever. We had little contact with the owner but he was friendly and reached out to us to make sure everything was too our satisfaction - which it exceeded. We enjoyed family movies, family games, barbeque, great nights' sleep, animal watching and stargazing. We wish we'd had more time to enjoy it all and explore more of the trails around the neighborhood lake. I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Our New Year’s Vacation Getaway

We arrived to a beautiful, clean, spacious home and were welcomed by the scenic views of the previous day’s snow storm. We appreciated Jason having the driveway and walkway plowed and accessible, making our unpacking process go quickly. The home was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the game room, the large kitchen and the dining room was large enough to accommodate our large family for all meals. We kept all blinds open during our stay because the deer were in the area and we’re peaceful to watch. Due to the previous day’s snow storm the internet was unavailable, so we took that opportunity to enjoy an evening of board games, dominoes and cards. Basically, staying unplugged was nice for a change. Jason texted to check in on us regularly due to the inclement weather making us feel welcomed and like we had a friend in the area if we needed anything. We look forward to booking this home again in the future and Thank You again for making our New Year’s vacation getaway one to remember.
