This house exceeded all our expectations. It was clean and well provisioned. With 3 adult couples (our kids and their spouses), it met our needs perfectly. Our contact person was friendly and quick to respond. I would certainly stay here again.

Bayfield house

Overall our experience was good, we ran into some issues when we first arrived but the owners were quick to respond and remedy the issue, which was very appreciated. The house was as described and we enjoyed using the pool table in the basement as a family. The only thing we would change is the dampness in the basement.

Nice place to hang out

The home was clean, comfortable, and well furnished. Really loved the variety of games, from boardgames to darts to a pool table. One of the highlights for us was sitting in front of the woodstove at night. Very quiet at night.

Retirement trip

Absolutely loved this home! My adult kids and I were so comfortable in your lovely home. So enjoyed playing pool and sitting on the deck. We cooked several meals in and found the cooking supplies to be above and beyond what we typically see. I fell in love with Durango so hope to be back again soon and would definitely stay here again. The beds were so comfortable too.
