Great place to stay!

This home was perfect for our family gathering. Plenty of space to spread out and still have private space for each family. The location is beautiful and is convenient to Durango and all of it's offerings. We would stay again.

Lovely location and excellent Cabin for big family

Location was great with scenic views around. Cabin was awesome and spacious. Only drawback was we saw a lot of flies inside the bathroom and bedroom floors. But this was notified to us even before we arrived and they offered to clean the house once again. Overall we had awonderful experience.

Pleasant Mountain Getaway

Very nice big space. We had two families get together and we enjoyed the many bedrooms and bathrooms. The communal spaces were well furnished and enjoyable to gather in. The kitchen was well equiped and we had an easy time using the grill. The mountain location was beautiful and a nice break from the heat. I can easily recommend this place to others.

Enjoyed it very much, house was wonderful. I would have liked to have had a master bedroom downstairs. Bathroom plugs wouldn't work, even after trying the reset. It did not slow us down as we are very adaptable. Would recommend and stay again.

Picture’s don’t do it justice!

The property has amazing views! There were 11 of us and everyone had plenty of room. The path to the creek is overgrown and a little treacherous, but everyone (but me) participated in the adventure. A few of the outdoor furniture pieces could be replaced and I recommend some kind of room deodorizer for when the place sits empty for awhile. Manager was aware of two other issues we were concerned about. We would definitely return!

Beautiful property and the mountains were breathtaking. My only issue (and this was my fault for not noticing when I booked) was the lack of air conditioning. I understand these higher elevation homes dont require A/C but better fans should be installed to circulate air. House was very warm but most of the time we weren't inside. Colorado was amazing and we will be back. Thank you for a great place to stay during our vacation.

La Platta Canyon

The property and location was beautiful! We were disappointed that the yard was not taken care of so we couldn’t be outside playing games. We had issues with the cleanliness of the house, dead bugs, cobwebs and flies everywhere. There was a propane leak that took 2 1/2 days to find before it was fixed, which caused some inconvenience. The property did make that right and we were very grateful! The water heaters were off and are not all in plain sight. We had to search to find them and get them turned back on. There is plenty to do in the area and we took advantage of the recommendations of the property managers. The pictures are a little dated, and the property could use a few updates and coats of paint.

Excellent Location and Large home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at this place. It’s only a 15-minute drive to Durango, making it very convenient for the activities we had planned. Anna was very cooperative and helpful throughout our stay.One recommendation: it would be great to have the house free of flies. I think the wood construction might attract them, but overall, it was a great experience.

Colorado vacation

Had a great time! Property was very accurately described. We had an issue with the hot water upstairs but it was addressed quickly. The altitude was a problem for some of us coming from Florida and Texas. The kitchen was great and well stocked! Would suggest you make the downstairs bedroom more adult friendly so older guests don’t have to climb the stairs. All in all a great place for large families.

Durango getaway

Everything was great, except it was a little warm and the yard hasn’t been mowed all year. They said it was a short walk to the river you couldn’t get through. It was so overgrown and trees had falling in the path. My husband went through and cleared it.

Short but sweet stay

House is in beautiful, serene location. Well laid out with large kitchen, deck, and front lounge area. Bedrooms are spacious. Marked and steep trail down to river for those brave enough to try it. Kitchen had plenty of utensils, two dishwashers, and all appliances but could use a few more basics (salt, sugar, etc) for short stay guests. One of the bathrooms had intermittent hot water during our stay. Was not a big deal and so did not communicate or expect to have it fixed during our stay. Highly recommend the house for location and serenity.

Mountain Escape

Overall the stay was pleasant. The cabin was laid out nicely with four upstairs rooms with two bathrooms and one bedroom with two bathrooms on the main floor. The only thing I would change about the room situation is making the downstairs room a master suite instead of the room with two twins. This way older people or people with bad knees could use this room instead of climbing stairs to share a queen bed. The kitchen has a huge island, two ovens, two dishwashers, and plenty of kitchen ware for any cooking you plan on doing. There is a two tier deck that is nice for enjoying a morning coffee watching the sunrise. However, we found no lights for outside at night so this would be something that would be nice to enjoy the deck in the late evenings. The location of the cabin is excellent. Just what we wanted tucked away in a secluded valley with a river close by. You could hear the water running in the river from the deck outside. Very peaceful. I’d definitely stay here again.

Unique cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was probably the most unique VRBO we’ve stayed, in the 25+ years we’ve rented VRBOs! The grandkids loved the lofts in the bedrooms!The reasons we’re not giving all 5s are: no air conditioning and not all windows worked well; weak WIFI; and confusing light switches. Being in our mid 70s, a grab bar in the master bath would have been very helpful.

Hesperus House

Overall, a very enjoyable weekend with kids & grandkids. Grandkids loved the house & wanted to stay forever! Adequate indoor & outdoor space for our group. Several does with new fawns was the highlight Saturday morning. A couple of things that were not so great: door out to the deck is very warped & difficult to open & close, upstairs far bedroom window was hanging on on 1 hinge, the kitchen floor was not clean, & the trail down to the river was so overgrown that we could not use it & the kids really wanted to hike down, trash bins were full so we had to pile on top. Just little things that could be fixed but we had a great time!

Upon arrival at this mountain property, all 8 of us were saying WOW!!! This is AWESOME! The inside of the home was as pictured and even more amazing as we went from room to room. The atrium is just a beautiful add to the rest of the home. The pool table saw lots of fun action. Outside games were played in the large side yard. And the BBQ got some fun use as well. All around.....10+++++

I emailed the management company and they had it promply replaced. The property is approximately a 15 minute drive to downtown Durango, so you will need your own transportation if you stay here.
