We had a great stay! This unit is really comfortable and very well appointed. It’s an easy walk to downtown across the suspension bridge, immediately adjacent to the property. We learned to appreciate heated floors on cold mornings. We are looking forward to going back.
beautiful home on the Animas RiverVery convenient to walk footbridge next to home for a short walk to Main StreetHome is beautifully decorated and all high quality with every amenity you could needWe were in town for a week for my daughters wedding and we loved our stay
Wonderful stay! Great location across the river and walking distance to town. Easy drive to our favorite hiking and fishing. House is amazing with great patio spaces. Hosts are next door, friendly and helpful at navigating local events. Would love to return.
The most wonderful place to stay in Durango. The indoor and outdoor spaces were perfect and the place was so thoroughly stocked with everything you could possibly need. Theresa was a lovely host and helped make this a very special family trip!
This place was perfect!! Very clean, very well stocked and very comfortable! The outdoor patio area overlooking the river was lovely! Highly recommend!
Spacious, well decorated house in a beautiful location.
Doug and Teresa’s property was gorgeous. We loved the location right on the river. We also enjoyed the porch and deck. Well stocked kitchen, and we appreciated the coffee bar!
Thanks for a great stay!
The property is very beautiful and centrally located. Just a 5 minute walk to downtown that has an abundance of shops and restaurants. Great hosts who were always available.The house is very well appointed with everything you'll need for a great stay!!
Loved our time at the Animas Basecamp. The house is so comfy for three couples. We enjoyed the two outdoor spaces and the sprawling great room. We played games watched sports and cooked together. Parking was sufficient for 4 cars and we were able to have our family join for a post graduation toast. Loved the proximity to downtown just over the walking bridge. It was just a perfect spot. We’d highly recommend staying here.
Perfect location, beautifully set right on the river. Walking distance to downtown. House was very nice and clean. The owner’s attention to detail was apparent. Would definitely recommend this place!
This is the most accurately described property our family has ever rented on vrbo. The pictures and property description and location we spot on. Our hostess was helpful and had excellent descriptions of dining, shopping, and local activities and attractions.
This was by far the best VRBO we've stayed at! Listing was completely accurate, location was fantastic! The outdoor space made this stay so lovely and special for our family! It didn't feel like a rental but more like home away from home. Lots of amenities and everything we needed. Property owner was super kind and responsive when we contacted them...definitely will be back!
Thankful we nabbed this location for our Durango stay. Easy walk to town for meals and to parks with our young son. Easy for our aging parents to get to. When in Durango, will def come back to this location. Thanks Teresa.
Location and property couldn’t be better for a stay in Durango. Right along the river for fishing, and path for walking and biking, walking distance to town, which is an awesome town to explore.
Basecamp has super outdoor spaces for gathering with friends, is clean, stocked and well equipped for cooking and relaxing with friends. A great vrbo.

Why they chose this property
This property was extensively remodeled 2008 for my aging mother so that she could be close by, but have her own privacy. We live in the house next door.
What makes this property unique
The location is what sold us on this property. The views of the river are spectacular. It is close to downtown and the extensive river trail. You feel like you are in a private oasis in the heart of town.
