We were thrilled at the layout of the place which was spacious and very clean. There were a few domestic items that we felt should have been easily found and available, but since we shop at walmart for fun, it was not a problem for us to purchase. The beds were on the hard side. The drive to durango was surprisingly easy and quick! The mountain is quiet and we never saw another car on the road! We would return to this wonderful home in the future! ##### maureen o.

The listing is exactly as described and the host is very responsive. We had no issues with the house or host for the entirety of our stay. The house is nice enough to not feel like you’re living in a dump, but not too nice that I was worried about my kiddos breaking things. The kitchen was stocked with all the gadgets that we needed. Easy to get to, quiet, and we enjoyed the beautiful sunsets! ##### Angela B. Stayed 35 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### gina c., STILLWATER,MN.

Durango was no more than 15 minutes away. Not an issue for us at all. The property came as advertised. Two families(total of 8) divided the house thus allowing for semi privacy. Well maintained and all amenities included. The owner, Danielle, responded immediately when questions were posed. The house was spacious. Good size living room, kitchen and we like the sitting room with a fire place.....though we didn't use it. House was cozy during cold nights. A couple of items to improve upon.......driveway and mirrors in bedrooms. The room we stayed in didn't have a mirror so my wife had to wait until restroom became free. I drove a F250 2WD and made it up without problems......and it poured one night. Still, good to improve the last stretch leading to the house. Mg ##### Michael G. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ---
