We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Quiet, comfortable, and very homey. The communication with the owner was nice with quick responses to any questions. Our dog was greated with a dog welcome basket. There were fresh flowers on the table and the house was clean and smelled amazing. Our time spent there was very relaxing.

Cool Lake Getaway

This beautiful property was a great home base for our adventures! We went into Durango a few times and enjoyed the small community in Lake Vallecito. Hot tub was nice and the property was close to hiking and the lake. Highly recommend!

Cozy cabin in the woods

The house is absolutely beautiful! Great location, clean house, accommodating owner, all the amenities, and perfect for anyone! Make sure to pack your s’mores and whatever else you need because you won’t want to leave! Out of all the VRBO rentals I have stayed in this one is hands down my absolute favorite.

Don't hesitate to book, if you're considering this VRBO!

My family and I (including our dogs!) had the pleasure of staying here over Thanksgiving weekend and I can't say enough about how thoughtful our host was! Firstly, the property itself is beautiful and inviting. All of our beds were comfortable, clean, and we had plenty of towels for the 5 of us. I brought several dishes ready to pop into the oven, but was pleasantly surprised to see how well stocked the kitchen was with pots, pans, etc. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner here and very much enjoyed the cozy wood burning stove and spacious hot tub! What really sets this property above, though, is all of the thoughtful, little touches. As a few examples: the wood burning stove was ready with wood when we arrived and just needed to be lit! The coffee maker already had a filter in the pot, there was a doggie welcome basket when we walked in, on and on... I truly don't have enough space to complement Marina enough here! THANK YOU!
