We had a great stay with beautiful views. It’s right by the water which allows for peaceful and calming activities. The house was comfortable for our group and well kept. Close proximity to downtown Durango and all kinds of restaurants and shopping nearby.

Absolutely beautiful property. Loved seeing the hummingbirds in the wild flower garden and the deer in the mornings. Had a situation with the plumbing when we arrived and it was attended to in a timely manner and very easy to reach management. Great response time. The master bedroom does have a see through fireplace that looks through to the living and kitchen. Just a note if you’re looking for more privacy in the master. It really is the outdoor space that takes this property to the next level. I could’ve sat on the porch and never left our entire stay. Fabulous!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled you got to enjoy the hummingbirds and wildflower garden, and that the deer made an appearance during your stay. The outdoor space really is special. We're glad our team was able to get the plumbing issue resolved quickly once you let us know; being easy to reach when something comes up matters a lot to us. Thanks also for the heads up about the see-through fireplace in the master bedroom, that's really helpful for future guests to know ahead of time. So happy to hear you made the most of the porch! We'd love to have you back anytime."

Peaceful Oasis

We had a family get together at this house and had a wonderful time, especially enjoying the yard by the river. The property was absolutely gorgeous and there was great birdwatching! The kitchen was stocked well with cooking supplies for the many meals we made there. Thanks for a great stay!

I cannot say enough positive things about this property. Beautiful setting. Extremely dog friendly. Comfortable bedding and well equipped kitchen. The property was very clean and comfortable. The location was great - about 15-20 away from downtown Durango. About 20-30 to Aztec NM. It was convenient while still being peaceful and private.

Property was great. We really enjoyed our time. The only problem was a sewer smell on the lower floor. If the owner can get that fixed we’d give the property 5 stars.

Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate your note about the sulfur smell on the lower level. We have had it thoroughly inspected by multiple professionals. They confirmed that the septic system is functioning properly, and the smell is most likely due to the well water. The home is equipped with a water filter, and the odor typically dissipates when the downstairs windows are opened. We truly appreciate your comments and hope to host you again soon!

The home was beautiful freshly remodel. Verry clean. Out side was perfect. The drive to most things were very close. Down side for me was the excessive black flying bugs coming out from the vents, plugs and crawling on the ceiling. I constantly had to check everything. I get its a pet friendly house. The pet hair on the everything was a bit much especially it being on our clothes when we would go out. We have stayed at other pet friendly homes and the hair was never this issue. I do recommend lent rollers. The stairs are pretty steep and slippery my son and mother in law feel off them thankfully at the bottom. There is a smell down stairs that comes and gose. So iam guess its the septic. Over all the stay was a 5 out 10.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the home very clean, newly updated, and that the location was convenient for you and your group. We’re sorry to hear about the bugs and pet hair you encountered. As the property is located directly on the river, occasional bugs can unfortunately make their way indoors despite our preventative efforts. Our housekeeping team completes a pre-arrival inspection before every stay, so it’s likely they entered after check-in. That said, we understand how this can be frustrating. Regarding the pet hair, while this is a pet-friendly home, it’s clear we missed the mark in this instance. We are addressing this with our housekeeping team right away. We do wish you had reached out during your stay, as we would have been more than happy to send someone over to take care of it promptly. Thank you as well for your comments about the stairs. This is the first time we’ve received feedback that they felt steep or slippery, but we appreciate you mentioning it as helpful insight for future guests. We also appreciate your note regarding the septic system. We’ve had multiple professionals assess this, and everything is functioning properly. Unfortunately, the odor can occasionally come and go, and we appreciate your understanding. Thank you again for sharing your feedback as it helps us continue to improve the guest experience.
