We had a wonderful stay over Christmas. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had from the minute we reserved the home until after checkout. Restaurant and activity suggestions were spot on. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas with our family! ##### Danea B.

We enjoyed staying at this beautiful house for my husband's 40th birthday trip. I would strongly recommend. Tons of space for a large group of family and friends of various ages to spread out and relax. Location was very close to the spa/hot springs, downtown Durango, and the railroad. Kitchen was very well stocked to prepare breakfasts and dinners for a large group! Views and the outdoor areas were beautiful. Thank you for sharing your house with us! ##### Liz H.

Situated in a beautiful location up against the red Hermosa cliffs, it overlooks the beautiful Animas valley. The home was very clean, comfortably furnished, and tastefully decorated. We had every single convenience we needed. I have stayed in many VRBO properties over the years, including several in the Durango area, and this was definitely one of the best. ##### Jan M.

We love its location, scenery, layout, game room and the owners. The owners are always a text away if anything is needed and the caretaker is there taking care of the snow/ice on the driveway. 5-stars!! You can’t get better than that. Thanks Ann for sharing! ##### Sheila T.

We rode the train to Silverton, hiked, swam in the river and enjoyed downtown Durango. This home provided us the perfect gathering spot. It fit our family - young and old just right. Our stay was complete - easy reservations and payment process, great host communications, good location to local sites, lots of space for everyone (inside and out), beautiful views, plenty of kitchen and bath supplies, and very clean. We would recommend this home to anyone staying in the Durango area. Thank you for sharing your property and helping to make a great trip for our family! ##### Jeanette B.

It was the perfect spot for our family of 10\. With 6 bedrooms we all had plenty of space and both living areas allowed some to watch movies and play games while others watched the Olympics. We all spent ample time on the large from porch. This area was amazing with beautiful views, lots of seating, a fireplace and a large table where we had a very special dinner! The location was also perfect for trips to Purgatory, Mesa Verde, the Durango train and the nearby Durango Hot Springs. The location was also close to James Ranch which we thoroughly enjoyed! We highly recommend this home!! ##### Barbara M.

We were 3 families staying at this beautiful property. There is plenty of room for everyone. The early birds didn't disturb the night owls and vice versa. Plenty of pool and poker were played while on vacation. You are far enough away from town so it is peaceful, but still not a far drive into Durango. We loved hearing the train each day. The front porch is an amazing place for games, eating and best of all - relaxation! Ann has thought of everything with her property. This vacation home was the easiest stay we ever had! Basic consideration was really all she asked, unlike other places where you have a ton of rules, cleaning expectations, etc. We felt comfortable in her home and treated it like we were staying at a good friend's home. All of us hope to return to Durango again and Ann's home would be our 1st choice! ##### Jane T. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ---
