In 2020 two dead mice made the place smell terrible until I found them. This stay we saw mice running around the main level the first night, I called the property manager and they were sending someone out but day turned into afternoon then evening so I purchased some traps. We caught six mice in four nights. Every morning I was cleaning poop up. It was gross. I would have gone elsewhere but couldn’t find another place that would take a dog. The management company did give us a 10% refund but for 4,000, I shouldn’t play exterminator. ##### Rick K.

Our doodle Hank enjoyed the ability to explore the property and play in the snow as did our 4 year old grandson! We were treated every morning and evening to a large group of turkeys making their way to and from roosting! Everyone loved the steam shower!! Convenient location to town or Purgatory.

It is stocked with all the kitchen silverware, utensils, pots pans and dishes one could want. The bedrooms bathrooms and sitting areas are very well done and very clean and neat. The setting is fantastic with places for the dog and a covered outside area to suit all your needs. It is very private, quiet, and secure with a large lawn in the front and back. All of which is perfectly maintained. This is definitely a 5 star vacation home. ##### Jim C.

The house is beautifully remodeled and the bathrooms and kitchen are great. The only comment I would have is less glass size tables in the master bedroom. They just don’t have much space to put glasses and water on. Staff was friendly and the house was very clean. Highly recommend if you like having space. ##### Angela S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael R. 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay in the mountains Honestly, this is the best rental property we've ever stayed at. You're about 20 minutes north of Durango, but very close to the highway and it's easy to get to town or north to Purgatory/Silverton. The property has a full kitchen with all of the kitchen-y stuff you'd need (honestly, we were taking pictures of things in this kitchen we want to add to our own house). There's a full gas/propane dual fuel grill as well out back. The yard is perfect for your four legged friends, and the rest of the house is great for a longer-term stay (great bathrooms -- jacuzzi tub) and the laundry units in the basement. But what really sets this property apart is the responsiveness of the VRC staff. We got in pretty late, but they still checked in on us to make sure that we got in the house okay, and they were responsive via text the whole time we were there. We're definitely going to be making a return visit! ##### Michael R.

The property was absolutely beautiful and had all the necessities needed for our 6 night stay with 4 adults and 2 kids. The owners were super nice and available if needed and kept the walkway clear of snow. The recently renovated kitchen was very clean and stocked with many dishes so we could make our own meals. Bedrooms were very comfortable after a long day of skiing and firewood was provided. We loved watching deer and turkey on the property. The heaters on the patio were a nice extra and put to use. We chose this property because it was convenient to town and Purgatory. It’s clear the owners take a lot of pride in this house and it felt like home. We will be back! ##### Kim G.

Reviewer Comments: This was an amazing getaway in Durango, CO. It was a perfect 3 acre private space with plenty of room for our party of 5. We enjoyed cooking and baking in the well appointed kitchen. The outside space was phenomenal and even our dog loved their fenced in space to roam around. Lots of wildlife sightings (deer and turkey). Would definitely recommend this place and would definitely stay again! Owners are not far down the road, but not intrusive. Very pleasant people! The management company is also very attentive but not intrusive. 5/5 stars for us. ##### Kelly S.

Reviewer Comments: The Rock House is in an amazing area for a peaceful retreat! Views and plenty of space to relax inside and out. We were able to easily get into Durango in less than 15 min. There is a gourmet grocery store up the road as well as a few restaurants in the area. The gourmet kitchen was a treat to prepare meals and was stocked beyond basics. During our stay, the kitchen was a bit cold compared to the rest of the house. We had an issue with the oven, but the property company was responsive and had repair crew out next eve. The fireplace with stocked wood provided cozy fires in the evenings after exploring. Beds were beyond comfy and many luxury amenities in the bathrooms. Wifi worked great for planning out activities. A side note the TV does not offer streaming - it does offer plenty of channels though and was not an issue for us. A guidebook with clear instructions for the home would be a nice addition as we spent some time trying to figure a few things out. Check out was a little unclear due to messages from two different sources. The keypad was a little tricky for us, but a quick phone call took care of it. The amount of the extra fees made the rate not as affordable for us. Overall, we appreciated such a lovely place to stay and the time the property management company took to help us with a last minute booking - Recommended stay! ##### Kathryn P.
