Nick and Caryn are wonderful hosts. The house was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked -- but we didn't cook! Too many good restaurants in Durango. It is clear that these hosts care for their property down to the tiniest detail. Our only complaint is that we didn't have enough time in the house. We will be back!!

Beautiful setting, loved leaving the windows open and hearing the river go over the rocks. Close enough to town but secluded so that you never knew it existed. Home has all the amenities you could need.

What a great place to stay! Very spacious, we had our 3 teen boys and 2 little ones. Sleeping arrangements were plentiful. House was clean and felt like home. Although, it was cold we enjoyed the outdoors. I just know its beautiful in the summer and spring time. Great home internet for streaming! Located 15 minutes from town, which was awesome. Very secluded and private! Host was very quick to reapond and made our stay wonderful. We would definitely recommend this place!

What an incredible place! Nick was helpful and understanding when I missed some instructions. The location is fabulous and the house is beautiful and so comfortable. We did have neighbors in the place next door but it was still peaceful and enjoyable. The river running through the property was lovely. We spent most of our time sitting by it as some family members fished. Our family would love to go here again.

Little piece of heaven in Durango

Beautiful, cozy property right on the river. We weren’t expecting 15 inches of snow during our trip, but what a winter wonderland! Being “snowed in” on this property was so peaceful and welcome. The hosts are extremely accommodating and friendly. We can’t wait to bring our family back to fish in the summer. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Wonderful family getaway

The property exceeded expectations! Our family of nine fit perfectly in the two houses and the property was a wonderfully relaxing place to unwind during downtime between seeing the local sites (we did Mesa Verde and Silverton). Communication with the owners was exceptional and they clearly care about their renters’ stay as the houses are stocked for cooking at “home” and staying in. We made memories here that will last a lifetime! I HIGHLY recommend.
