Peaceful setting, so relaxing having coffee/cocktails on the porch. We had a daily visit from a sweet cat, too. Home was clean, beds comfortable, and had plenty of kitchen necessities. Thanks for sharing your home, Rick.

Beautiful stay with nearby lake

This is the most beautiful property we have stayed at in Durango. The house is open and airy, with a beautiful deck and kitchen. The house is situated at the end of a quiet street, where the only noises we heard were birds chirping. Our teens loved the downstairs den with the comfy couches and TV for downtime. Rick was the perfect host; very responsive and sent detailed information about the property in advance of our stay. We loved the proximity to Lake Nighthorse and downtown Durango, too.

Friendly feline visitor, stopped by daily for scratches behind the ears and lake trout.

Beautiful house and beautiful location

The layout of the house was perfect for three adult females. We each had our own section of the house. The house was very clean. We appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was as well as all paper products, including paper towels, toilet paper, and Kleenexes in every room. There was plenty of dishwashing soap as well as laundry soap, and trash bags. We also enjoyed the cat that hung around.The outside of the house was beautiful and we enjoyed all of the outdoor seating.The only negative was the air conditioning did not keep the house very cool. Also, we would have enjoyed a hammock on the hammock stand.

Beautiful, spacious home with a lovely outdoor space. It's great for small family gatherings. It even comes with an outdoor cat. (I would have loved to take him home!) It's a bit of a drive to town (15 minutes), but we liked being in the peaceful atmosphere. Our only negative was the upstairs master suite was overly warm for us and too many windows to the east so early morning light was a problem as we had to leave the windows open. Durango had higher than normal temps and the AC didn't reach to the upstairs. As long as temps are normal, it wouldn't be a problem. We would definitely stay again during cooler times!

Great Family home!

I will start with the fence for the dogs since it is rare to find fenced properties in the area. It met the requirements to keep my elder dogs inside the massive yard they have. Other details include the massive space you get with the house inside. This was definatley a great spot to stay away from the city but close enough to be able to order food delivery.

Durango, CO getaway

Beautiful home as advertised. Home is very spacious and of course the hottub is a plus. There is everything you need if you just want to chill out at the hose for days. The only advise/suggestion I would give the owner of the home is to make sure that the fllors are always swept after every visitor departs and that here are tv(s) in the bedrooms. All in all we enjoyed our stay in this home. I would truly recommend anyone who is visiting Durango, CO and is looking at staying at a hotel to instead stay in this beautiful home.-Charles M.

We had a great time in the house. The fireplace was great for sitting and catching up with the family. The kitchen has everything you need and then some. We were able to make great meals in the big kitchen. The yard was nice and the wild turkeys very entertaining in the morning. Would stay again.

Adorable house / great place to make memories

The house is great, very spacious and well taken care of. The kitchen living room area is a great place to spend time making memories. I would recommend some blinds, it gets a little creepy at night when its pitch black outside but the lights are on inside. Overall everything was great and the host communicated well.

Nice and Peaceful

The home was very clean! We stayed in main bedroom on first level. For us it was a bit cold. Our daughter and son in law stayed on second level master. The stairs ar steep going to upstairs master. They said the temperature was comfortable and used the small ceiling fan in the room. The home's layout allows for privacy. Kitchen was stocked with needed items. The available washer and dryer was a plus for us. Went through messaging to ask host about instructions for glass bottles and close out, but didn't get reply. I did not try to use the available number because of the time of day and did not want to disturb so late in day. Not sure if the messaging to host could be improved during a stay. This is a great option for a stay in Durango.
