Amazing

Our family had a great time staying at the Curry Barn. Plenty of room for everyone and the views were awesome. Deer frequently came around in the morning and evening. The place was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We would highly recommend the Curry Barn and the property management company was great to work with. We would stay there again!

Excellent Retreat Just Outside of Durango

We occupied both Curry Barn and the extension. Our group of seven was comfortable with private or semi-private sleeping areas, enough bathrooms, excellent common areas, and a fantastic setting. Lots of parking, too. Recommend the barn for groups of 5, and barn plus extension for 7 people. Hope to return.

The Curry Barn is beautiful! The location is perfect to take in all that Durango and the surrounding area has to offer and the setting is stunning.

Roomy clean home in beautiful setting

My group of 6 really enjoyed our stay. Everyone had their own comfy bed. The loft area is very open and could be pictured and described a little more clearly on the website. The house was very well equipped. As others have mentioned, the water had a bad odor. There is a filter water tap in the kitchen, but it’s quite slow so you might want to take bottled water. Overall, a great choice.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear your group of six had a comfortable stay and that everyone enjoyed having their own bed. We appreciate your feedback about the loft area—we’ll work on updating our listing to better reflect that space for future guests. Thank you also for mentioning the water. We understand the odor can be off-putting and are continuing to look into long-term solutions. In the meantime, we're glad the filtered tap was helpful, and we’ll consider ways to make it more efficient. We’re so happy you found the house well-equipped and overall a great choice.

Unique, comfortable lodging, great view

We have stayed at the Curry Barn 4 times, so obviously we like it! The furnishings are very comfortable, and the barn was fully stocked with everything you might need. It has A/C now, but we did not need to use it since the weather was so nice. The view is great, and we saw deer daily in the yard. I only wish it had a bigger deck so we could spend more time outdoors, then it would be perfection!

WE all loved the quiet setting and the awesome barn!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everyone loved the barn! The complaint people had was that the bedrooms were warm, even with the fans on and windows open. There were no windows to open in the loft, so no cross ventilation. We all had a wonderful time, Thanks!

Rocked My World

We really enjoyed our stay at Curry Barn. There were seven of us in our party and and we each had our own bed, which are very comfortable. The entire home is beautifully appointed and the great room conducive for gatherings with ample space. I've never stayed at a rental with such a well supplied kitchen. If you're lucky, you'll even see the resident great-horned owl. It all made for a wonderful retreat.

Sibling Iron Butt

Every year my husband and I join my brothers and their wives for a motorcycle ride. (No, we don't go the distance of a true Iron butt, just enjoy daily rides on curvy roads). This restored barn was incredible to come home to each night. Very charming/ welcoming. The attention to detail amazing. We totally enjoyed our visit!

Curry barn

The barn is complete with every amenity you could require and is central to downtown Durango with a short drive but far enough out you see the stars at night which were epic. The entire facility is actually two places in one. If you need to you could rent both sides I'm guessing. The kitchen and common area is where you spend 90% of family time and it's perfect go force everyone to drop their cell phones and play good old card games and get back to basics. Solid family vacation place.. really enjoyed it.

Amazing Place

We rented the Curry Barn and the Curry Barn Extension for a week for our kids and grandkids to celebrate our 60th anniversary with us at Soaring (a repeat of our 50th 10 years ago). It was perfect for our group. We loved the big gathering room, the outdoors, and the entire place. We loved that it was somewhat isolated without close neighbors. Be advised that the water is very salty so you will want to buy bottled water to drink and to make coffee and tea. We had trouble finding a sharp knife also, but in spite of that I still say it was magnificent and perfect in every other way and it certainly deserves 5 stars.

Perfect family getaway

Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was great. Due to covid, we cooked at home every night. The kitchen was well stocked. The only bummer was the heat. Our week happen to be the hottest week of the year and there is no AC. Opening windows at night cooled the house down. Installing screen doors would help a lot with cooling the house (we didn't want to keep the doors open because of the bugs). We loved seeing wildlife on the property - lots of deer, a fox and a coyote!

Thank you for your review and thank you for being our guests. We are pleased that you enjoyed the beautiful Curry Barn. It was unfortunate that "Mother Nature" decided to turn up the heat for your visit. The homeowners are looking into options for cooling the home when the temperatures become unseasonable.

Delightful

Our group had a wonderful stay at the Curry Barn. The accommodations and amenities were both wonderful. Beautiful kitchen, dining and open areas for our party of 6 to cook and dine. We were on motorcycles so getting groceries was an issue but we discovered that Instacart will deliver anything you need to this location as well. The BBQ grill came in handy and the kitchen was very well stocked for condiments & other supplies. The Barn isn't too far from the main road yet still tucked away to provide a very peaceful & quiet experience. The views were incredible as well. The Barn is a quick and gorgeous drive from Durango. Many "Thanks" to the owners for changing their schedule to allow us an extra day as we never wanted to leave. We will definitely return and highly recommend the Curry Barn.

Beautiful place, difficult to find.

The Barn was a great place to stay, very convenient to the wedding venue we were attending, as well as the routes to Farmington and Durango. The place was beautiful surrounded with the lovely Colorado outdoors, complete with deer and even a bobcat. We have never stayed in a VRBO that had so many amenities present. Beautifully and very thoughtfully equipped (For instance, in the past we even had to buy a can opener at one place.) There were two points of difficulty, one being it was hard to find when we arrived. The address sign on the drive in was difficult to see, so it took a long time to find. Thankfully, we arrived in daylight. It would have been almost impossible to see in the dark. The second was that there were two lock boxes for the keys, which was confusing at first. The shed they were in was also dark and had no flashlight, as instructed, so seeing the code was difficult. Otherwise we truly enjoyed the stay. Thank you.

Great experience, lovely property.

We stayed at the Curry Barn in September. The barn was lovely, very spacious and comfortable. I was initially concerned about the lack of air conditioning, because I am notoriously hot natured, but it was not an issue. The weather was warm during the day and cool in the evenings, and if you do as suggested by opening the windows in the evenings and close them during the day, the barn functions as designed to keep the temperature very comfortable. There are numerous ceiling fans to keep the air circulating. The water is soft, and slippery..... again not an issue. We cooked or grilled every day, and appreciated having the fully stocked kitchen that had all of the cookware, utensils and dinnerware that we needed. The location was close enough to town to be convenient, yet far enough away to feel secluded. We had a couple of questions during our stay, and Jen either answered my call immediately or returned the call promptly. I am very picky and a stickler about cleanliness- it was very clean and very comfortable and homey. Oh, and we saw deer and turkeys almost every day. I would definitely stay here again.
