It was quiet and in a lovely community away from town and any noise. The cabin itself was very clean and well stocked with appliances and miscellaneous supplies. I only have one minor complaint. The cabin could use more comfortable seating; indoors and out. The patio furniture was not comfortable, and the living area could have used another set of recliners or cushy chairs. Other than this small detail, our stay was delightful! ##### Patrice E.

It was extremely quiet and close to both Lake Lemon and Vallecito (which are awesome). The drive up to the cabin is pretty steep but ok for an SUV, truck or Subaru. Definitely bring water; as noted in other reviews the Sulphur smell is strong. The solitude of the cabin is worth the trade offs though. ##### John R.

The cabin was comfortable and well maintained. Was in a rural neighborhood but not too close to anyone. The property was peaceful, lot's of birds and critters to watch. The nights were quiet and dark (which was nice coming from a Texas suburb)! It was a great place to come back to and relax after our many activities. About 20/25 minutes to Durango. Would stay again, for certain. It did get a little warm inside during the day, Maybe low to mid 80s; but that's because were were staying at probably the hottest part of the year. Owner had a swamp cooler and fans inside that helped. We opened the windows at night which was great because the temps got down to the low 60s/high 50s. The mornings were beautiful and cool. I might suggest bring drinking water as the tap water there is fairly soft and slightly sulfuric. This made all the difference when brewing coffee. A week or so before we asked to tack an extra day on the front of our stay because. We immediately got a response that it could be done. This place was just what my family was looking for!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was super cozy and just what we needed for a small family getaway with our toddler. It was quiet but had nearly everything we needed. We would definitely recommend it! ##### Gretchen G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lacee C. 29 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cabin! Cozy place tucked in the trees. Even with snowstorms the place stayed warm and cozy. ##### Lacee C.
