Bed Configuration: Bedroom 1 - Queen with Ensuite Bath (main level) Bedroom 2 - Queen (main Level) Bedroom 3 - Double (main level) Consistent with most Colorado mountain resorts, the cabin does not offer air-conditioning.

Perfect spot for our family

We loved the cabin and it was perfect for our family. The kids loved playing in the creek and exploring and my husband and I loved our morning coffee on the back porch while listening to the creek. Best VRBO rental experience we’ve had yet!

Beautiful location!!!

The pictures of the property do NOT do it justice! To be right on the river and catch trout in the backyard was an amazing experience for our family. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a great time and enjoyed our experience there. If we ever vacation in Durango in the future, I’d definitely stay at this home again!

Excellent Stay - Any Season

We loved this property and the cabin itself. The only thing was the listing showed photos of a room with 2 bunk beds but there were only 3 double beds available, so one kiddo slept on the couch. He enjoyed sleeping by the fire though,so it all worked out.

Rushing stream.

Loved the location and the rushing stream just off the porch. Great place to enjoy that morning coffee and in the Colorado mountains. Catching a few trout made it even better. Nice home and location.

Family vacation

My husband and I, and my mother, spent five days in Durango. The Between the Waters home was a perfect fit for us. The river just steps from the back deck made for soothing time to just sit and enjoy, both the river and the cool weather. The home itself had plenty of room for the three of us.

Heavenly

The property is gorgeous. The house is well stocked and has every kitchen gadget you could think of. There are well taken care of ponds and a little beach you get access to. It’s worth every bit they charge. Well priced for what you get.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 our second stay at this property and won’t be our last. We love this home and the location. We spent 10 days here and had a fantastic time with our girls. The only issue we had was with the WiFi and our phone service. But it led us to do more activities like painting , playing board games and card games.

Dream Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 had a great time at Between the Waters last week.The property was exactly as described, even better - very clean , well stocked, very warm and inviting and the interior decor is a sight in and of itself! Great location to Durango and all the other sites in the area. If you're looking for a quiet escape, this is it - just sit out on the back porch and immerse yourself in the 24x7 sounds of the rolling Florida river just steps away. The property management was very attentive and responded quickly if needed. We had absolutely no issues with this unit and would love to return in the future.

Between the Waters stay

The house is set 30 feet from the creek and is so lovely. The sound of the creek is so enjoyable from the deck, inside when the screen in used and will lull you to sleep in your bed. The evergreens in the area make the air smell so fresh. The house was clean and has been decorarated in a Western and Native American motif. We loved all the decorations. We spent quite a lot of time playing cards on the deck. It was quality family time. There are many things to do in the area and downtown Durango is really cool! The only drawback was the uncomfortable futon in the guest room. We even bought a pad to make it softer but it needs to be replaced with a real comfortable bed.

Family Vacation

The property is in a great location next to the Florida River just steps from the patio. The property was clean with nice amenities inside, however the outside needs cleaning. IE, power washing the patio because of the cob webs and bird droppings. Landscaping was not maintained and was over grown. Cell phone coverage was non existent which wouldn’t have been a problem but the house phone and WiFi were also not working. We did contact property management after arriving with no resolution the entire week of our stay, even after repeated inquiries. This wouldn’t have been a problem but with no cell reception a local land line was needed in case of emergencies. Other than the few issues it was a wonderful stay.

4/10 Poor

meh, overpriced

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The river out back is the best feature - really nice to sit on that deck. The house itself is cluttered, beds are very uncomfortable, and the kitchen is stuffed with gadgets and utensils from the 1980s. Clear out the junk, replace with better beds, and drop the price. As it is, it's way too far from Durango (15-20 minutes drive) and the house itself is not comfortable enough to be worth this price. Won't return, don't recommend. PS: Figure out the actual trash deal - the neighbors have had to pay over $400 for the collection of trash left near their trash "on the opposite side of the road" per the house instructions.

Great location, Disappointing beds, Lots of items.

Quiet neighborhood, beautiful view & close to town. We always stay in vacation rentals when visiting Durango. Note, before your stay: To be clear, 3rd bedroom is NOT a “Double” but in fact a FUTON. All mattresses should be replaced bc they were terrible, especially the futon. The week’s rent could easily replace all mattresses & elevate the rental. It’s a shame since this is probably the only thing keeping us from staying here again. Could easily be our go-to place. Owners should replace the kitchen utensils with a few good ones as opposed to tons of old & unusable ones. House has no pantry basics - cooking oil/spray, seasonings, foil, saran wrap etc. a first I’ve seen in a rental. Perhaps the cleaning crew throws out everything after each visitor? Plan ahead before you stay. Kitchen appliances - stove, fridge and microwave were quite new and fully functioning! While I’m sure the decor in the home took decades to acquire, there is truly SO MUCH stuff in this house and it feels overly cluttered and rugs throughout don’t lay flat despite beautiful hardwood floors. The MOST BEAUTIFUL decor were the Glidden paintings depicting Colorado landscapes. These stunning pieces should be the focal point of home's décor, truly. Kudos to the artist - they were incredible. House was shockingly clean for the amount of decor. You’d expect you’d find items covered with dust, however they were not. Bathrooms spotless. Plenty of seating areas for everyone and quite comfortable for 4-6 people.

This property is beautiful! The cabin is furnished in a very tasteful and artful manner yet very comfortable. The river is feet from the covered deck and with the windows open you can hear it throughout the house. The host was very helpful! Highly recommend this place!

Spring vacation

Great cozy home. The location was good for getting to town. I wish the river had more flow to it so we could have fished. That being said it was still the end of winter and things were still frozen. All in all it was a great trip. I would definitely stay here again.
