Such a beautiful home with plenty of space inside and out! The kitchen was fully equipped with all that was needed, and the cabin was comfortable and creatively decorated. Even spent some time swinging in the hammock and visiting the beautiful chicken coop! The host was responsive and kind. Would absolutely return!

Beautiful home

We love staying in this home. It was very beautiful and clean, and it had all of the extra amenities that we needed as far as extra blankets and pillows. The kitchen was fully stocked and was nice to cook in.

Great family time!

Wonderful & homey. We had 7 adults and four children and loved our stay. Our almost 3 year old twins loved seeing and hearing the train from the house deck.

Durango reunion

Great location with proximity to town as well as to all the attractions North on the highway to Silverton. The house was nicer than expected as the pictures don't do it justice. Great views of the sunset at night while sitting on the deck.

Annual Family Getaway

It is always a challenge to find a house to accommodate four generations for our annual get together. This house was perfect! Eric was very easy to communicate with both prior to our arrival and during our stay. He even let us use his children’s sleigh for our little people to ride down the hill by the house. The house was very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. Five stars across the board. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Perfect stay for Ironhorse Bike Classic

We had nine adults in our group, six of whom were racing Ironhorse. Perfect place to stay easy ride to the start on Saturday morning. Lovely home, lovely owners who are very attentive, including Dwight son, who invited us to come out and feed the chickens. Would stay here again absolutely!

Amazing mountain vacation home!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The location was convenient to town but it still felt like a true mountain vacation. The house is stunning and had everything we needed and more. The view from the deck is gorgeous and it was so fun to see the trains go by. Everyone in our family from Grandpa down to our littlest one loved every minute we spent here and along with our Polar Express train ride, made this Thanksgiving our most memorable and magical ever! The owner was very welcoming and easy to communicate with, and he went above and beyond to help us out.

An Incredible Find in Durango

This home is Absolutely perfect for a large group. Was out in Durango for my son’s wedding. Easily slept 10 at this house. Beds were incredibly comfy. House had so much charm. Close to downtown Durango but far enough away to have great views and quiet. The host was outstanding. Just a friendly and available guy. Highly recommend renting this house in Durango. You will be happy you did.

Lovely home & helpful folks!

The photos of the home do not do it justice. It's a very classy place. My brother got some gunk on his wedding guest shirt from the iron, and the host not only brought over a new iron, but also a steamer. Great service. In addition, my brother arrived before me and it was easy for him to work with the host to access the property. Snacks, wine, great communication. Thanks!

Great property-exceeded expectations

Prior to arriving I was in contact with Eric and he responded very fast. The property is located 2 miles from the city as stated. You are only 10 minutes from almost everything. This is a well built home both inside and outside. High end finishes throughout the home. I was impressed when I entered the home. Perfect location in a quiet area close to everything. The owners live next to the property. Eric and Dwight were very nice people. The home is very well maintained. They have everything you need. We did not have to buy anything except food. Large deck in front with a great view of the mountains. If you have a dog the yard is fully fenced in. Could not ask for a better place to bring a dog. If I come back to Durango I would only stay here.

Very nice, well-appointed, clean property in a great location just 2 minutes from downtown Durango. Property owners/managers were accessible and responsive. One note to future guests is that the main bedroom (with the King bed) is a loft and therefore not entirely private. The en suite bathroom to the lofted main bedroom is also open to the communal areas on the 1st and 2nd floors by way of the bathroom walls not going all the way to the ceiling. The bathroom sounds, therefore, may travel over the walls and into the communal areas. Finally, there is a large, uncovered window in the main bathroom that provides direct views into the master shower from the neighboring property. I would highly recommend the owbers install some sort of retractable shade as the natural light is great most of the time, but a bit unnerving while trying to shower at night.

Spent a week with my family on vacation. House was perfect! Beautiful place and location! Easy check in and awesome communication with owners! It is a perfect location for all the area has to offer! The landscaping and flowers were so beautiful. Made for wonderful family pictures. Thank you for helping to make a memorable week for my family! It couldn't have been better!

Quite possibly the best stay we have ever experienced via Vrbo. The owners and property manager were amazing, very hospitable, gave some great advice on things to see and do in the area. The cabin is beautiful- pictures do it no justice at all! We will definitely be returning in the future if this property is still available.
