Great place

We got this place because of the price and space. It delivered. We had plenty of space and it was well worth the value. I would even call it a deal! The owners were prompt with any questions. It is a good location to do Durango, Mesa Verade, Silverton. The one day it snowed, some of our party went south to avoid it and enjoyed the day in near by Aztec. Would definitely stay here again as we loved the area and are already trying to figure out when we can come back.

Great house for our 20!

Flawless. What an amazing property for our four families! Traveled from Dallas, Abilene, and Lubbock for skiing and experiencing Durango. Chose this location for the plains instead of the near mountains so we might miss the snow but have it near by. Played in Hesperus, skied in Pergatory, and shopped and ate in Durango. And Connie was the best hostess ever!

Durango Train Ride

We had a family of 20 going to Durango to ride the train to Silverton. This house was perfect! About 19 miles to Durango but a nice drive. The host thought of everything this was the best stocked house we’ve stayed in. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t already there. Our twenty had plenty of room and we loved the rustic furniture. We would highly recommend for a large group.

Family vacation

First family trip using a VRBO and we had a great experience, plenty of space for 8 adults and 6 children under the age of 6yrs with additional rooms to spare. The kids had a blast, the property manager Connie was great, the house was beautiful, would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Connie Slade

My husband grew up in the area and graduated from Durango High School. We both attended Fort Lewis College in Durango. We are using the property as a VRBO to accommodate a move to Utah to attend graduate school. The above picture is a few of our kids in a kiva at Spruce Tree House in Mesa Verde National Park.

Why they chose this property

We custom built our home here in 2005 to accommodate our 12 kids and be near family.

What makes this property unique

We have loved having a quiet, spacious yard with room to garden, ride the four-wheeler and go-kart, play on the swings, and have bonfires while enjoying the stars every summer. Sunrises and sunsets have been some of our favorite times to enjoy as a family.
