Very nice home with everything you could need for a great stay. Comfy beds, really well kitted kitchen (crockpot, blender, awesome toaster oven), washer and dryer. Makes for a great spot to explore the Durango area (about 10 minutes from town, 15 to airport, 2 hrs to telluride, an hour to Ouray, 20 minutes to Durango Train. Amazing views and a great common space for relaxing. Would highly recommend and definitely would stay here again!

Family stay

We had a very pleasant stay here while in Durango. The photos don’t do this place justice on how big it is! There’s so much space throughout the house and there’s practically everything you could need while there. Our family of 6 felt right at home. Close enough to the city center and far enough to feel secluded from the world.

The view out the back windows/doors was beautiful! Only complaint there is some of the blinds didn't work, so eventually we jerry-rigged a way for one of them to stay up all the time and then one evening we really wanted to put 1 or 2 of them down for a little while because of the sun, but couldn't - Not sure if electric blinds would be an option, but that would probably be preferable with the height involved. Saw deer every day and jackrabbits almost every day. House was clean, but after a few days some in our party also wanted a vacuum cleaner or at least a broom, but we only saw an outside broom. It was nice to have the AC option for the upstairs bedroom since it does get pretty warm up there in the evenings - I never wanted it for downstairs. Bedrooms/bathrooms as pictured/described. Location for us was great! Close enough we could easily get to town if we needed something, but we didn't have constant road/people/city noise. The welcome book does state there may be a family on the bottom level, but we never saw or heard anyone. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and would definitely recommend staying here or if I were to go to the area again would be happy to stay here!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I am originally from Oklahoma and moved to Colorado in 2016. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with Durango and the surrounding area. Despite being a smaller mountain town, Durango has a lot to offer! During the winter I enjoy snowboarding and in the warmer months hiking with my dog, and biking with friends. Hosting has been quite fun for me as I like meeting new people, allowing guests to partake in my abundant home, and sharing all the adventure SW Colorado has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The view from my property is breathtaking as the La Plata mountains are on full display from the back porch, not to mention the amazing sunsets that take place over the peaks each night! The neighborhood is quiet and out of town just far enough to feel secluded. The deer and wildlife are a great addition to the yard and quite entertaining to watch in the morning and evening hours.
